Summary

Resident Justin Lilienthal sought guidance on septic/percolation backup and lot-line revisions for a 12.5-acre property; separately, the Commission unanimously completed and signed Component 4A section C of the Planning Module for the Daniels Concrete Batch Plant but asked staff to draft a letter documenting inconsistencies in timeline, permits, and metering evidence.

Resident Justin Lilienthal (846 Ada Ln) spoke during the sewage portion of the meeting about septic permitting, lot-line revisions, and related permitting for two homes he intends to build on a 12.5-acre property. Lilienthal asked whether he needed additional Component 1 or backup percolation tests given prior percs on each parcel; staff advised a backup is required only when a new buildable lot is being created. Lilienthal also noted issues where a neighbor's driveway sits on his lot and said he would convey a strip of property roughly 15' x 50' to resolve it.

On a separate but related item, the Commission reviewed Component 4A section C of the Planning Module for the Daniels Concrete Batch Plant Project. The Commission voted unanimously to complete and sign the form, while noting the DEP had rejected a prior submission and inconsistencies remain in timeline, absence of Highway Occupancy Permit (HOP), NPDES, Stormwater permitting, and unclear metering. The minutes record discussion of two water bills attached to the submittal (559,000 gallons and 4,000 gallons for three months) and express uncertainty whether the higher total reflected a separate meter for the batch plant. Chair Mattei will draft a letter detailing inconsistencies to accompany the Component 4A submission to DEP.
