ASHPEE PLANNING BOARD MINUTES : July 1 , 1985 <br /> MEMBERS PRESENT : Richard Dubin, Harold Collins , Richardson Jonas <br /> ME BERS ABSENT : Michele Stone <br /> TIME: 4:00 PM <br /> Mr. Dubin opened the public hearing on the proposed amendment to <br /> the Zoning By-Laws to add Subsection 6.3 .G .10. He read the notice <br /> as advertised in the newspaper (see attached) . <br /> Mr. Dubin: Mr. Young, you're the proponant . Can you summarize the <br /> article as opposed to the last one please . <br /> Mr. Young: Yes . The difference between this article and the last <br /> one .is the is the Town Planner who wrote both of them. In the <br /> previous article there is also contingency for baking and I think <br /> one other type of processing included . This one -specifically per- <br /> tains to coffee processing and packaging. That is the difference <br /> between this and the other article . <br /> Mr. Dubin: Just coffee? No baking, etc .? <br /> Mr. Young: Right , or candy making, <br /> Mr. Dubin: What about the issue that came up at the last meeting <br /> about odor? <br /> Mr. Young: There is no odor. <br /> Mr, Dubin: That 's what I thought the last time .

I think it 's essentially contained within the <br /> building. <br /> Mr. Dubin: So in the normal sense of the word, no odor. <br /> Mr. Young: Right . No odor whatsoever. <br /> Mr. Dubin: OK. <br /> Mr. Young: Also a couple of other things I heard around town and <br /> I addressed the people who had made these allegations . ' Number one , <br /> there 's an allegation that there is a large water useage factor. <br /> In fact the plant uses 5 gallons per hour and that water is totally <br /> absorbed in the coffee beans . There is no residual water whatsoever. <br /> So point number 2 . Point number 3 was someone said there would be <br /> a lot of smoke . The operation is totally smokeless . I would go <br /> on record saying that and I 've written to those individuals who <br />
