Dan Ojala said he helped DECH with what should be a fairly simple process. He showed the Site Pian and said he recommended this lot for this project. Lot 5 dimensions roughly 200X260. Mr. Ojala said the lot was formerly in the ground water protection overlay district but that has been removed so not burdened by any of those regulations. Business is straight manufacturing of wooden windows; no metals or metal work—very straight -forward, high-end organization that will be A benfit to the Town. Mr. Ojala reviewed the Site Plan: • Moved parking to rear, as recommended. • Fire truck access done. • Plumbing code requires a floor drain attached to a tight tank. Applicant proposed a simple dual tight tank with alarm to alert if any leak that goes off at about 75% of the volume. Site not in Zone 2, but this is State regulation. They will work with Plumbing Inspector. • Septic system is over -sized for the site. Big up -front investment but long-term solution on that. Board of Health regulations were followed. • Required 13 parking spaces; they provided 14 with handicap space. • Checked soils on site. • Showed Landscape Plan and said there is no flooding onto Echo Road.- They will supplement natural vegetation with dense screening around site to block some of the site lines. Also planting some big trees in the front. �• Industrial sub-division—dead end so no through traffic. Town has taken the road as a public road.
