PUBLIC HEARING to consider issuing a Pig/Swine Permit to Aline & Robert Graves of 425 Linden Street – Aline & Brain Graves were in attendance, as well as abutting neighbors Jerry Shea and Brian Keane. Dennis Costello told them that the number of pigs they may have is limited and explained the requirements necessary to obtain a permit; specifically, they must be in an enclosed pen, kept clean, watered, and are subject to inspections. The Graves’ said their intent is to raise two pigs primarily for slaughter, but also to clear the land for one season only. They plan to plant grass in the future. The general layout was explained. They said they have an electronic fence and shelter. The neighbor concerns were potential odor, rodents and coyotes. Ms. Graves
stated that the food will be kept in the garage in a closed metal container. Lorie Martiska motioned to issue a permit pending research of the agricultural regulations; Sarah Scheinfein seconded; all agreed.
