He reads it as you can build those rooms on this size lot but, you must <br />take 4 acres and set them aside as nitrogen deed restricted land. It will be shown as open <br />space deed restricted for this nitrogen sensitive area. Someone could calculate the total <br />number of bedrooms and square footage to include a nitrogen sensitive area and it should <br />balance. <br />Mr. Meader noted it doesn't have to be large lots; it could be natural buffers between homes. <br />He talked with another engineer from Environmental Partners on how to perceive, there are <br />many ways to look at that bylaw. They all came to the consensus that the ultimate intent was <br />for one bedroom per 10,000 sq. ft. He noted this bylaw heavily relies on residential properties, <br />not commercial. <br />Ms. Waygan stated this is the first time they have looked at it as part of a Special Permit <br />process and it will be tweaked soon. <br />Health Agent Zack Seabury commented on Chapter 108, and it is requiring an update. It lacks <br />definitions and has holes. It's geared towards residential based on writing, which could limit <br />housing, and with there being no calculation for industrial to decide flow rates, its limiting. The <br />Willowbend is on a sewer treatment plant, DEP takes that away from him. Given a certain <br />number of bedrooms and a large acreage, he doesn't have a dog in the fight as the Health <br />Department. <br />Mr. Meader echoed the same thing for Sewer, they have no authority over a private treatment <br />plant. A permit is designed for maximum flow per day, it can be broken down to bedrooms but <br />industrial wouldn't break it down that way, it would just be total daily flow. <br />Mr. Lehrer has examined Flow Neutral from every perspective with the same conclusion and <br />issues. He thinks the Willowbend application pertaining to flow neutral is a unique test case <br />given flow neutral due process and regulation. As drafted, it restricts flows to the 2015 flows of <br />all properties. Single family residences are entitled to 4 bedrooms by right and everything <br />above 40,000 sq. ft. is one bedroom for every 10,000 sq. ft. He struggles as it pertains to <br />Willowbend, the way Chapter 108 handles due process in people seeking relief. It articulates <br />well for private owners who have on -site septic and what their relief criteria or entity reviewing. <br />There is a glaring hole as it pertains to properties connected to private sewers. Neither BOH <br />nor Sewer Commission has jurisdiction in flows of private treatment plants. It is important to <br />consider that limitation. Chapter 108 has provisions and a pathway for approval even under the <br />most restrictive view of reading. If the Board were to vote, they could establish a condition. The <br />entity who hears this is unclear. Ultimately, DEP would grant relief and he has not spoken with <br />them. <br />Mr. Balzarini stated the new housing at LeClair Village received its comprehensive permit <br />before the flow neutral was active. He inquired about Ken Marsters development, it was stated <br />:l <br />
