KRISTEN REIMANN FOR JEFFREY AND ELIZABETH GORDON; Article 4 Section 4.2A3; Map 3 Lot 39; 61 Bijah’s Way: Mr. LoRusso opened the public hearing at 5:20 PM. Ms. Reimann summarized the site plan and the special features of a retractable pool cover, the details of the fence and retaining wall with fence topper and the pool equipment will be stored in an underground vault. She added the pool water heating system will include an air source heat pump. The report issued by consultant Everett Barber indicates the pool filter will draw 1,600 KW of power; the heat pump will use 1,400 KW of power (total 3,000 KW over 12 months). The array of solar panels will generate approximately 3,600 KW of electricity.
The Board asked for the total number of gallons of water for the 20’ X 44’ pool. Ms. Reimann estimated 39,500 gallons will be heated. Among other features of the pool the Board also discussed the Town’s exterior mechanical equipment bylaw requirements (Article 5 Section 5.9). An abutter letter of approval was also read for the record.
With no comment from the audience a motion was made to close the hearing at 5:50 PM. The motion was seconded and unanimously approved.

The fence between the house and pool will comply with the Town’s pool fencing specifications. 3. The heat source pump and all pool-related exterior mechanical equipment shall comply with the Town’s Zoning Bylaw Article 5 Section 5.9. 4. All standard pool specifications shall apply. 5. Separate electric meter(s) shall be installed to monitor the net annual production of the photo-voltaic panels and the

The applicant will return to the Board of Appeals in the winter of 2011 to review 12 months of meter data to confirm the solar panels are generating a net surplus of power after running all pool equipment for a 12 month period. The motion was seconded and with no discussion unanimously approved with five in favor.
