Summary

Community members asked New Leaf for manufacturer destructive‑test results, the precise hazard‑mitigation analysis (HMA) to be filed with the planning board, local realtor or assessor analyses on property values, and a clear monitoring and decommissioning plan.

In the meeting's Q&A, multiple residents insisted that verbal assurances were insufficient and asked New Leaf to make key documents available before any formal application moves forward. Requested items included manufacturer destructive‑test reports and listings, the hazard‑mitigation analysis (HMA) developers must submit to the planning board, the detailed noise study tied to exact site coordinates, local assessor or realtor analyses on property‑value impacts and written decommissioning bond language.

Solis agreed the developer would share documentation as it becomes available and said some items (HMA, environmental assessment) are public records when submitted; she also said New Leaf would consider host‑community agreements. Several attendees offered to conduct or help with independent property‑value research and asked the village to require developer submission of the records before any advance in permitting.
