Extended Public Hearing for Map 3-89:
Public hearing was opened at 7:04pm.
Site walk was completed prior to the meeting. The Board felt this site walk was very helpful and answered a lot of their questions. The Board reviewed Wetland area in the Zoning Ordinance. Discussion on whether this is agriculture or forestry, Conservation committee presented the Board with a letter going over their concerns with the project (letter will be attached to the minutes for further review). Land owners informed the Board that they had filed an intent to cut with the town and the only logs they have been processing are logs from their property. The owner also informed the Board that they do not plan on putting electricity on the site so their business hours will be during light hours.
