DISCUSSION REID SILVA FOR BLUE SKY MV, LTD. Pool Special Permit; 61 Cobbs Hill Rd.; Map 11 Lot 23.3: Mr. Silva proposed relocating the pool’s mechanical equipment from the approved location in a sound insulated shed to a location that is in the basement of the planned pool house.

He added the pool water heating system will include an electric heat pump. Photo-voltaic panels will be installed on the roofs of the pool house and tea house. It is projected they will generate 87 percent of the power needed to heat the pool annually. With no comment from the
public a motion was made to close the hearing at 5:15 PM. The motion was seconded and unanimously approved. A subsequent motion was made to approve the plans as presented. The motion was seconded and with no discussion passed unanimously with five in favor.
