New conditions are proposed to reduce the allowable use of the property. The 5-acre parcel is used for the collection of yard waste, wood chips and brush from sticker holders and Town Departments. Past operations created concerns from the abutter regarding increased neighborhood traffic, noise and odor. After review, the Select Board voted at their December 2021 meeting to allow the license to expire at the end of its current term. Gotta Do has proposed to eliminate access to the site by commercial businesses, and limiting commercial access to vehicles owned by Gotta Do. And further, the grinding of brush would not be allowed only if authorized by the Town to assist in the clean-up of storm related conditions. Sticker holders and the DPW would have access to composting and screened loam regardless of the contract extension. A one-year extension of contract would allow evaluation of the reduced operation. The extension of the license would also offset costs associated to the operation of the Transfer Station by approximately $33,000.
