  • 12:40 PM:  PUBLIC MEETING REQUEST FOR DETERMINATION OF APPLICABILITY; RUSSELL MALONEY; 245 North Rd.; AP 13-8:  Install a french drain at the southeast corner and southern edge of a pre-existing tennis court located within the eastern edge of a wetland.  The drain will channel rainwater into the wetland rather than having it flush the court’s surface into the wetland.  A 64-foot long, 12 inch deep trench will be hand dug and backfilled on top of the drainage pipe.  The water will be gravity fed to daylight and a     2-foot square, 6-inch deep gravel surface to prevent erosion.
  • DISCUSSION PLANNING BOARD SUBCOMMITTEE:  Review revised proposal for a bus      U-Turn on Basin Road in Menemsha.
  • DISCUSSION PROPOSED NEW FIRE HOUSE PLAN:   The Selectmen are considering a plan to build a new fire house in the town hall parking lot.  There is a new parking scheme.  The ingress and egress for the fire trucks will go across the land that supports the current fire station to Menemsha Crossroad.
