the board has granted a reduction in depth to groundwater,pressure distribution is a condition,and board <br /> members deliberated with Mr. Shay whether to change from pressure dosing to pressure distribution. <br /> Mr. Shay expressed concern about adding more profile and cost, as well as difficulty of installation. Mr. <br /> Harrington advised the board that pressure distribution may not be the best option with such a low profile <br /> unit. While there was concern about setting a precedent, board members agreed that enough reasoning <br /> had been provided to justify a deviation from what had been allowed in the past. <br /> There being no further comments or discussion, Mallory Langler moved to approve the septic plan for 73 <br /> Nick Trail with following conditions: 1) a geogrid be placed below the chambers to keep the chambers <br /> from sinking into the sand,specifically ISI 14,000 orTensar BX1100; 2)the elevations of the retaining wall <br /> need to be shown on the detail; and 3) specifications of the liner and the locus be added to the plans. <br /> Motion seconded by Laurel Almquist. VOTE: Unanimous (3-0). <br /> OLD BUSINESS <br /> 1. Discussion of Draft Recreational Marijuana Regulation. Mr. Harrington commented that Jim <br /> Vaccaro, Director of the Mashpee MMM facility, had posed a few comments for the board's <br /> consideration. The Board of Selectmen had recently awarded the host agreement for a retail <br /> marijuana sales establishment to MMM. <br /> The first comment from Mr. Vaccaro mentioned hours of operation. Mr. Harrington stated that <br /> there is nothing within the state's regulation or within the host agreement that restricts hours of <br /> operation, but at least one board in town should have the ability to control hours. The board <br /> agreed they do not want to restrict anyone but, if there's an issue that directly impacts the health <br /> of citizens, they needs the ability to respond to it. Chair Baumgaertel asked if police/fire had <br /> rendered any opinion with respect to traffic, and Mr. Harrington answered that they had <br /> commented on it at the time the applications were originally reviewed. He stated that the <br /> proposed opening time of 10 am is past rush hour, and the proponents had offered to put in a <br /> traffic light. <br /> Chair Baumgaertel asked if the new retail facility would be separate from the medical facility,and <br /> Mr. Harrington answered that the plan was to expand on the same lot. Ms. Langer noted that <br /> MMM would have to redesign the parking area, so employees have a safe/secure way to get <br /> in/out of building and site. They will also have to show that the increase in flow will fit within the <br /> existing system, or propose a re-design. Mr. Harrington noted that flow is based on employees, <br /> not foot traffic. <br /> The second comment from Mr. Vaccaro mentioned the requirement for a public hearing at the <br /> time of renewal. Mr. Harrington stated that the Selectmen hold a hearing as a matter of review <br /> for liquor licenses, but it is not a requirement. It is done to verify with inspectional and public <br /> safety officials that there are no issues with the establishments prior to issuance of the new <br /> licenses. He reminded the board that they don't typically have a hearing for annual renewals. <br /> Chair Baumgaertel suggested striking the words "at a public hearing" and instead call it an <br /> informal review prior to renewal of permit. <br /> The third comment from Mr. Vaccaro was that the 60-day review period of an application is too <br /> long. Mr. Harrington stated that Town Counsel had recommended the board remove the 60 days <br /> and leave the review time unlimited. He further stated that, if a timeframe is stipulated and the <br /> board takes no action, it is an automatic approval. He advised the board that the clock doesn't <br /> 4 <br />
