Mr. Jeff Folger explained that the wetlands are not on the applicant
Attorney Kathy Hale stated that just because something is not technically considered hazardous waste, it can be toxic waste. When drywall gets wet and air goes in and out of the facility when doors are open, mold spore toxins can be airborne and could have significant impacts on surrounding neighbors.
Commissioner Heffler stated that health hazards associated with mold spore toxins pertain to enclosed area inside buildings.
Answering questions from the Commission, Attorney Consoli explained that most items come in and off the site within 24 hours. The air handler system has a negative pressure system inside. The filter system and building ventilation system have not been selected yet.
Commissioner Phillips felt that there is no significant impacts to the wetlands and therefore intervenor status should not be allowed on this application.
Public
The following individuals came before the Commission to speak in opposition to this appeal:
1) Tim Starr, 178 Chapel Road stated there is a lot of wildlife and does not want the pollution.
2) Robert Pellegatto, 128 Chapel Road questioned the railroad spur.
William Jenkins is worried that the site will not be able to handle hazardous waste that comes onto the site.
Sue Belanger, 71 Chapel Road is worried about the individuals that live around this area because of the trucks coming in and out of this facility.
Gerry Russo, 80 Parkview Drive is worried about the wells and drinking water that could be contaminated.
Attorney Consoli explained that it is not the applicants intention to have unwanted items on the tipping floor, but if something does come into the building, there is a plan in place. The railroad spurs were eliminated in order to minimize work being done in the regulated area. There is negative pressure inside of the building. Attorney Consoli also said that there is no plans to put stormwater into the sanitary sewers.
The public hearing was continued until the March 6, 2002 meeting.
Appl. #01-52P - Vintage Hills Subdivision - Barber Hill Road
Mr. Peter DeMallie came before the Commission to represent this application. He explained the only changes made to this plan are in the northeast corner. A conservation easement has been placed in and around the wetlands. The topography within the detention basin has been shown and is designed to increase the travel time through the basin.
Mr. Galen Semprebon from Design Professionals came before the Commission to review the February 15, 2002 memo from Jeff Folger.
Public
Mr. Joe Mongeon of 229 Old Farm Road came before the Commission. Mr. Mangeon thanked the applicant for the conservation easement and wondered if the stonewall would be preserved?
Jeff told Mr. Mangeon that he had forwarded a letter to the Planning & Zoning Commission requesting that the stonewall be kept, but that is their decision.
