Summary

The committee inspected a barn location about a mile north on Route 5 and found poor access, lack of a driveway into the flat area, competing uses of the access road and likely tree work; members decided to pursue the Park-and-Ride option instead.

Committee members visited a proposed barn site about a mile north of the village on Route 5 and documented several access problems: the right-of-way road provides poor access, there is no driveway into the flat area, existing uses of the access road could conflict with a recycling site, and tree work would be required.

Given those constraints and potential traffic issues on Route 5, the committee decided to prioritize investigating the Park-and-Ride location and to move only two containers there if zoning and legal checks allow. The minutes do not record any commitments to the barn site or approval for tree work or driveway construction.
