The Templeton Fish and Game club requested that the town consider allowing two full-time residences on club property for off-season security. Laurie, a Board of Health staff member, presented the request at the Board of Health meeting on July 28 and said she did not expect the state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to grant approval without satisfying lot-size and septic requirements.

Laurie said she asked "Mister Cormier, who is the... current president," for an insurance-company letter and that Cormier provided a letter after the club failed to supply one initially. She told the board the matter is controlled by DEP and noted the club is under a consent order from 02/2007. "I I would almost call it a liaison," Laurie said of the board's likely role; she recommended preparing a draft communication to DEP and bringing it back to the board for review. A board member instructed staff to "investigate it" and to bring a draft to the next meeting for the board to decide whether to send it.

Board members discussed practical constraints, including lot sizes, lack of full septic systems or tight tanks on seasonal lots, and potential tax and infrastructure implications for year-round occupancy. Members did not vote to approve any change; Laurie said DEP will make the ultimate decision and that staff will prepare a draft for the board's review at the August meeting.

This discussion was advisory; it did not change the town's or DEP's legal requirements and involved no formal approvals at the July 28 meeting.
