Conditional approval would be granted requiring a draft easement to be reviewed and approved by the Town Attorney.

Massonn Distributors, 12 and 30 Commerce Way – Approval to Connect
Chris Ventura was present representing the applicant Massonn Distributors seeking approval to connect a commercial building to be located at 12 and 30 Commerce Way to the Town’s sewerage system. The facility will be a 30,000 sq. foot building used for the production of donut products. The lateral will connect to the line in Commerce Way and continue to Oakland Road. There will be two connections, one for the rest rooms and another for a 3,000 gal. grease interceptor. The facility will supply donut product to 70 – 120 Dunkin Donut stores in the area. It could take up to a year for the facility to reach maximum capacity.
The process is such that the fry-lines are completely contained units, the donuts themselves are dropped or hand cut and put onto conveyor belts that run through the oil and then to a cooling units. All the grease that is not used is completely contained within the system and recycled to be used again. As the donuts are removed they have been cooled and therefore there is a small amount of drip from the. After filtering the used grease it is taken off site by an independent contractor and will not enter the sewer system.
