Inquiries for Uses or Structures on Preserved Property
Norman Keil (SCTM# 120.-3-11.14)
Request to install improvements
7:00 Appointment
Norman Keil attended the meeting via Zoom and went over the documents that he submitted to the
LPC via e-mail in August 2022. He explained/discussed the project, including but not limited to:
o That there will be cement pathways around and between the Floor system as shown on
the plans; concrete needed to secure plastic and for access. He has not signed off on the
amount of concrete yet, he may lessen it to increase actual growing room- he is still
evaluating.
o In general, the property is flat; he has an existing challenge in that there is run-off from
adjacent properties going onto his property now, and that he needs berms and hedgerow
to control this.
o There is no excavation planned for the Floor area. Sand will be added on top so that there
are no sharp edges, etc. to impact the plastic. Excavation for the Reservoir/Basin Area is
described in Section 5.2; soil excavated will be used for berm and will remain on site.
o Water (including rainfall) will go into the Reservoir/Basin Area. It will get pumped to the
water room to be re-used after sterilized; gravity fed.
Fencing of the basin will depend on Town requirements.
LPC members noted that the proposal appears to be equipment and that LPC would bring up at next
meeting, and was likely consistent with the easement and that determination would be scheduled for next
meeting.
