Attending: George Forcier, chair; Jeff Lacy; Phyllis Craine, Lara Matta
Moebius.
Absent: Cheryl Case.
1. Minutes of Aug. 6 and Aug. 11 meetings approved unanimously.
2. Battery Energy Storage System bylaw idea: Jeff is to get a clean copy
of the state’s model bylaw regulating BESS installations, localize for
Conway and present to the board at a future meeting.
3. Discussed possible ideas for a fall special town meeting: It seems
increasingly unlikely that we will have a proposed BESS bylaw or
revised shared driveway revision ready this fall.
More likely ready for a fall town meeting would be zoning bylaw
changes concerning: definition of dwellings, removal of a vestige of the
old ADU bylaw in Section 41.1; and a ban on data centers.
4. Jeff has scheduled a site visit to the Boyden farm Sept. 2 in
connection with the Roaring Brook Road solar farm proposal to get a
better idea of posse be locations of the equipment pad.
5. Board discussed a request from the Whittier family on Hamilton
Drive for a waiver to the siting distance of a detached state protected
accessory dwelling unit. The board needs additional info to work out
how to proceed with what is a new state mandated process. Chair will
seek that info and get back to the board.
