Team flags impervious-coverage thresholds, septic and 30,000‑gallon suppression tank in revised layout
Summary
The engineering team highlighted permitting triggers for impervious surfaces (thresholds around one acre), discussed septic siting options and confirmed a 30,000‑gallon fire‑suppression tank is required; they will follow up with the town planner and factor these needs into the plan.
Project staff said they would follow up with the town planner about impervious-surface thresholds and whether the overall compound would exceed regulatory thresholds that trigger additional permitting. The engineer explained that crossing an acre of impervious surface can change the permit path and that the team will confirm coverage calculations for the entire compound and any changes caused by the alternate layout.
The team also discussed utilities: placement of septic (with options to pump down or locate uphill) and the inclusion of a 30,000‑gallon fire suppression tank. "I know there's a 30,000 gallon, fire suppression tank we need there as well," the engineer said. The team said the new layout gives more flexibility for siting septic and the suppression tank and that they will confirm locations on the next survey and plan set prior to planning‑board submission.
