Preliminary meetings with the <br /> regulatory departments including the Fire, Building and the Board of Health have greatly assisted <br /> in streamlining the permitting process for the recent club house and athletic center renovation <br /> projects. Demographics are highly considered when building new homes in the New Seabury <br /> community. Many of the perspective homeowners are in the 55+ age group seeking to downsize. <br /> In considering the Town's wastewater nitrogen management planning efforts and the need to <br /> consider existing wastewater treatment facilities, the Town is seeking to utilize the golf course <br /> areas of New Seabury and Willowbend as recharge sites. With regards to New Seabury, it was <br /> noted there has been some dialogue with the Sewer Commission, however more specific <br /> discussions with corporate officers are required. <br /> It is anticipated that 150-200 homes would be developed in New Seabury; the sites include The <br /> Cottages, approximately 125, and in Popponesset 61 homes. There are also development rights <br /> in the area of Popponesset Island near the former tennis courts, but at this time the concentration <br /> is expected to focus on what has been approved and what is being developed at this time. <br />
