Housing chair presses wastewater committee on lot sizes; Hearthstone Village owner interested in Phase 2 hookup
Summary
Housing Commission Chair Patty Eisenhaur told the Planning Commission she's awaiting wastewater-committee rationale for 1-acre lot rules versus ½-acre and said the Hearthstone Village owner is interested in connecting to the Phase 2 system; Zoning Administrator William Goodwin said he needs to see the state septic permit before approving new construction.
Patty Eisenhaur, Housing Commission Chair, raised wastewater questions at the Nov. 24 Planning Commission meeting, asking why the wastewater committee retained a one-acre lot requirement in residential areas rather than a ½-acre standard. Eisenhaur said wastewater is reserving space for new construction in Phase 2 and added that the owner of Hearthstone Village is interested in hooking up to the Phase 2 system.
William Goodwin, the town's Zoning Administrator, told the commission he "would need to see the state permit regarding septic systems before approving new construction," indicating local approvals will be contingent on state septic permitting. The exchange left the technical permitting and lot-size rationale to the wastewater committee and flagged the Hearthstone Village interest as a project requiring further permitting review.
