Resident asks to attend gravel‑pit inspection; chair will seek applicant's permission
Summary
During the July 6 Planning Board public hearing, resident Jen McKown asked whether the 2026 gravel‑pit inspection had been completed and requested to attend; Chair Ed Ingalls said the inspection had not yet occurred and he would seek the applicant's permission for public attendance.
At the July 6, 2026 Planning Board hearing in Brookfield, resident Jen McKown of 234 Governors Rd asked whether the town's 2026 inspection of the gravel pit linked to Thomas Smith's application had already been completed and whether members of the public could attend. The question came after the board read the Intent to Excavate application into the record and discussed scheduling a continuation because the applicant could not attend that night.
Chair Ed Ingalls responded that the 2026 inspection had not yet been completed and that he would seek permission from applicant Thomas Smith to allow members of the public to attend the inspection. No date for an inspection was set in the July 6 record; the board continued the hearing to August 10, 2026, pending the applicant's agreement. Residents interested in observing the inspection are advised to contact the Brookfield Town Offices to confirm arrangements once the chair has followed up with the applicant.
