The third row of currently parked busses will be the beginning of the project where the entering trucks will go over the scale.

O E Trucking – Public Hearing Continued – Map 3, Lot 74A & 74B:
Jon Warzocha, Horizon Engineering represented Martyn Chivers brought in the updated plan which the board went over. Jon Warzocha advised the last meeting the SWPPP treatment approach was discussed and he provided the updated plans that were looked at during the Site Walk earlier this evening. The drainage is a little bit different than was shown on the original plan. The treatment facilities detail was shown and discussed tonight. .
A Town permit for junk yards and a State permit for the solid waste facility will need to be procured per Jon Warzocha, and this would be followed by the Green Yard Program. as well as SWPPP. Jon advised that they would like to ask to go through the final approval prior to presenting the final SWPPP rather than making minor changes along the way. Jon also advised SWPPP has to be finalized, and there has to be a sampling in order to operate. The fines are substantial if EPA comes up and does a site audit, there is a lot of motivation to be in compliance with SWPPP.
The Conservation Commission concern was the snow removal however, with the new layout, it would not come anywhere near the river.
Fencing was brought up, and considerable discussion followed. Phil LaMoreaux advised he would like to see a secure lockable fence enclose the entire area as the RSA requires. Jon argued that the elevated area meets the criteria of the RSA and it is not near anyone and is a private way, and is protected by a woodlands. The fencing that is going to be done will be a two tier stockade type fence as is already on the property. It was stated that the unfenced area could be posted. Marcia Keller, Chair suggested the fencing is used as a barrier to keep this facility from the other facilities on site. Phil LaMoreaux advised at minimum he would like to see fencing along zoned boundary lines that demarcate what areas are allowed for the facility. Further discussion took place regarding areas of concern. Jon Warzocha stated that they do not have any way to set the boundary as it is a line on a plan that was done by the town and he does not have any meets and bounds to go off from that zoning line that was never surveyed. Phil LaMoreaux advised it is 500 feet from the road.
The Lot Line Adjustment and Site Plan can be presented at the same time before final approval is given and Jon Warzocha will be back on August 14, 2012 showing the fencing along the zoning boundary with gate accesses showing as well. Final SWPPP needs to be received prior to operation.
The boundary line pins are not set at this time.
Jon Warzocha requested the board’s approval be conditional upon the receipt of SWPPP. Jon explained that he does not want to create extra work and expense for his client. He has to have a SWPPP prior to operation, but to provide one now, it could need some tweeking before they are done and it could have to be modified again.
It was stated that approval could be made with the following conditions:
- State Solid Waste Permit
- Town Junk Yard Permit
- Receipt of Final SWPPP – before operation can start.
- Green Yards Program.
Jon advised SWPPP is strictly an EPA requirement, and would not be under the Statutes.
Phil LaMoreaux, advised he would like to see on the Site Plan, a note enumerating the conditions of approval that were issued with the Special Exception.
- Best Management Practices will be adhered to.
- Owners shall grant access to a representative to local government at any time to the facility.
- The facility will be enrolled in the DES Green Yards Program.
This will not change the approval, but will have it all documented in one place.
The on site and off site signs were also discussed and should be updated and depicted on the plan.
Jon Warzocha stated he will be at the August 14th Planning Board meeting with 5 copies of the updated Site Plan Review file as well as 5 copies of the Lot Line Adjustment and mylar after the final approval.
It was requested that the minutes reflect that over and beyond the location, there will be no more than two unregistered vehicles on the property outside of the Junk Yard property in compliance with RSA236:111 – 129.
Enforcement was questioned, and it was stated it is the Selectmen’s responsibility.
Marcia Keller, Chair requested a couple of members join her to help clean up the O E Trucking files which need to be gone over. Caryl Walker and Don Jackson volunteered to help.
Marcia Keller, Chair advised she will meet with the Selectmen and suggest the public give a day or two notice when wishing to view records.
Marcia Keller, Chair brought up three signs that are stuck in the ground, those being Dunkin Donuts, N, L. Septic, and Wet Basement.
Question was asked if Central N H Planning has a way of creating incentives for businesses to come to town?
Adjournment 9:15pm.
