Select Board seeks site plans for salt/sand storage; considers garage scope and designer engagement
Summary
The board directed staff to pursue design prints for a 40x100 salt/sand storage facility and to explore permitting and scale options; members discussed garage scope, funding and whether a bond or voter approval would be required for a larger municipal garage.
The Select Board resumed planning for a municipal salt-and-sand storage facility and discussed possible designs, permitting tiers and project timing. Board members agreed to seek a formal site plan and prints so the town can determine whether permits are required and what the structure’s exact dimensions and placement should be.
A board member moved to retain designer Michael Beedie to prepare site prints for a proposed 40-by-100 foot salt-and-sand storage facility, an action the board approved to clarify permitting and scale. Members also debated whether to build a full garage now or stage the project; they noted a full garage would likely require voter approval or bonding because of its larger cost. The board asked staff to get an estimate for the designer’s services and to report back with permitting implications and scaled renderings.
