Select Board seeks clarifications on joint septic‑use agreement after ZBA hearing and state permit discrepancy

Jul 7, 2026

Staff told the board that a DES provisional license shows approval for a 7‑seat coffee shop while the ZBA record referenced 16 seats for the cafe/store; board directed staff to contact the LLC and church and to provide clarifying documentation to the ZBA. Members also discussed separate meter readings, grease trap presence and peak vs. average flow calculations for the joint septic agreement.
