Tax Parcel # 30.-1-16.22, Town Barn Road Mike Long, Planning Consultant gave a brief overview of the proposed plan. Mr. Davis is requesting feedback from the Planning Board Members prior to finalization of his plan. Larry Sharpsteen shared with Planning Board Members his concerns with respect to the water line. Mr. Sharpsteen states it must meet NFPA requirements for flow within the area of a storage area, of this nature. Larry Sharpsteen further stated for the record, he is not against this facility, he just wants to make sure it has proper protection with respect APPROVED 3 to the safety of the public and to make sure there is something there to divert any explosion away from homes and businesses. Mr. Davis states Mirabito will do a fire and safety analysis prior to moving forward on this project. Mr. Davis states the actual propane tank will be gated and eventually when more phases are added a gated entry will be in place. The projected number of trucks entering the property will be very small in the summer and the winter depending on the weather conditions, there could be as many as two to three deliveries per week and of course the daily pickups. Thomas Ellis inquired if retail sale is involved in this first phase. Mr. Davis states not at this time, although it may be a possibility in the future. It all depends on the market. A brief discussion took place with respect to the road not being dedicated. Legal Counsel indicated that if the Town decides to open the other sections of the road going south to Peruville Road, the Town would most likely take legal action with respect to dedication. A couple of Members had concerns with the increase of truck traffic to the already “infamous intersection”. Other Members felt it would not make an impact in the already present traffic. Buffering will be required on the south side of the property to properly protect the residents on Peruville. Chairman Ellis advised Mr. Davis that the Board would require at Public Hearing at the time of the Site Plan Review Presentation. Mr. Ellis advised Mr. Davis the Board has no negative comments regarding the proposal.
