Board approves letter urging review of expired sewer agreement; schedules July 10 work session
Summary
The planning board unanimously approved a letter recommending restoration or reconsideration of an expired intermunicipal sewer agreement and confirmed topics for a July 10 work session, including the CIP and town center zoning; members discussed sewer capacity and the large cost of extending sewer infrastructure.
The Greenland planning board voted unanimously to approve a draft letter urging restoration or reconsideration of a lapsed intermunicipal sewer agreement and to forward the document with suggested edits and supporting maps. The board also confirmed a July 10 work session to review the capital-improvements program for schools and the police department and to revisit town center zoning and subdivision regulations.
Members discussed sewer capacity and the cost of building sewer and water lines to support redevelopment near the town's commercial corridor. One board member described multi-million dollar estimates for installing sewer and associated infrastructure and said restoring the town's agreement with the neighboring system could be useful if development pressures require expanded treatment capacity.
After minor wording edits and a request to attach the original agreement and maps, a board member moved to approve the letter; the motion passed by unanimous voice vote. The board asked staff to finalize the memo and attach the relevant mapping before sending it to the selectmen and other recipients.
The work session is set for July 10 and will also consider ordinance and subdivision regulation revisions; board members asked staff to invite relevant department heads.
