General Discussion: Synopsis of Informational Meeting on Groundwater Ordinance on November 1.
BMarshall was pleased with number of people who attended the informational meeting on the groundwater ordinance. At the meeting, PRigrod gave a power point presentation and LMurphy brought a map of our aquifers. An important question was raised about where the water is coming from to supply our aquifers. PRigrod said that a hydrologic study would answer that question.
BMarshall commented that “We, as a Board, will have to go point by point to address the final draft of the ordinance.” JAdams raised the issue of dry wells. Hazardous containers size was brought up and it was suggested that the size of containers be regulated. LMurphy also suggested the list of prohibitive usages be discussed more and make a decision as to whether or not the Board wants to be more restrictive.
LMurphy also brought a copy of “Best Management Practices” which clarified terminology for the audience. The December 20, 2010 meeting at 7:00 pm will be devoted to the Groundwater Ordinance.
GMorris discussed the proposed amendment for the VTOL ordinance. When discussing this with the committee, either setback requirement or minimum acreage should be written into the ordinance. MBorden feels that a 250’ setback requirement on all sides of the property seems to be a reasonable figure. BMarshall said the 250’ setback gives a “football field sized” area for landing a helicopter.
JAdams speaking for the Selectmen, said once they get the CIP information they will be looking at it to see how to start funding the major projects that are needed, such as the roads of the town. MBorden stated that he was very unsuccessful in getting in touch with KMcDonald, road agent, for gathering CIP information. GMorris stated that he has most of the stuff for CIP, except MSteere’s info.
GMorris and the Board read the driveway standards section B, 2 as ”... apron to be16’ wide, or 2 feet less than the width of the apron.” This isn’t clear and will be changed to “all driveways for residential use shall have a paved apron 16’ wide for at least the first 10’, commencing at the edge of the pavement of the intersecting road.”
JAdams motioned to adjourn the meeting at 8:43 pm. MBorden seconded the motion. Motion carried.
