OTHER BUSINESS
John Wentzell was welcomed as the newest member of the Board.
Tim Hess (DSA) – Informational Discussion regarding proposed Linden Street Project (Wildlife Sanctuary) – Mr. Hess attended to introduce the project and get feedback from the Board. It is a proposed nature center/wildlife sanctuary to be located on the former Jameson’s Ridge property. It will be an energy efficient green building which will use compost toilets. They also intend to collect rainwater. Dennis told Mr. Hess that in addition to collecting rainwater, the site will need to be serviced by town water. With regard to the compost toilets, he said that the town has septic systems and Title 5 will need to be researched to see if they can be permitted. There will be no food service. Mr. Hess was asked to provide a letter from Outback Engineering detailing the
square footage, bedrooms, etc. so Dennis will have specifics to help with his research.
Mobil Station – Larry Greene (Thompson Liston Associates) and Bob Farr (Nouria Energy) were in attendance. They propose to build a gas station/convenience store on the former Mobil site. No food will be prepared on site. They will sell only pre-packaged foods, coffee and slush puppies. A grease trap will need to be installed. The site is serviced by town water. There is an existing septic system which is designed for 431 gallons/day. They will be using 429 gallons/day. Dennis said the system will accommodate the usage. He asked Mr. Greene to put up a fence, gate or post to protect the area. Mr. Greene will add it to the plan and forward a copy to the office. The members were all in favor of the plan and it was approved.
