Core Team Minutes 2.9.12

Present: Andres Torrizo, Peter Lazorchak, Tony Stout, Abby Martin and Core Team (Kate, John, Kinny, Robin, Kathy)

Discussion General:

• Mechanics of Permitting must not overwhelm Design Principles - all agreed
• Phasing, Permitting, Funding, Design Update - DRB needs to know
• Greenhouse - ???

Discussion - Process:

• STEP One: Peter to incorporate all CAD pieces for use by all others. Feb 24th due date. Setbacks will be shown from all boundaries, steep slopes and wetlands (to be verified in Spring).
  

• STEP Two: Andres and Tony will review existing permitting (Act 250, Zoning, etc.) to look for any and all "resource constraints". Then they will receive Peter's CAD product Feb. 27th. Andres and Tony will eventually do three Concept Designs with input from the school. As a minimum for the Feb. 27th meeting all consultants will have established the proposed setbacks so that we don't establish a full blown MasterPlan around an unworkable site understanding.
  

• STEP Three: Three concept designs will be delivered on March 4th subject to the State's involvement on daylighting the stream. ANR will also have an Act 250 position and they will be looking for the "original alignment" and the 50'-100' buffer from that alignment. Also Friends of the Mad River will want to have input. (NOTE: KP and others have serious questions about the currently shown water elements).

• Kincaid will distribute the Design Principles to the Stormwater crew and she will "underline" the water principles.

• Andres and Tony need to know what the Wastewater design will be so they can make sure the storm and waste water don't compete for resources. Kate has arranged a phone conference with the invited waste-water consultants which should help give a rough idea to the Stormwater design.

• STEP Four: The Final Report from Andres and Tony would be March 24th.

• STEP Five: We need to understand the cost of actually writing up of the permits: Act 250, Stream Alteration, Curb Cut, Erosion Permit, Major Subdivision, DRB, Waste Water, Water Supply, Storm Water.
  

April 1st is the current goal for having the DRB blessing so that we can build the Greenhouse. It is understood by all that this is an aggressive schedule and will certainly not include all completed permits. The strategy is to use this DRB deadline to accelerate the other permit procedures to whatever extent possible. Even if incomplete, the information collected around the various permit efforts will lend substance to the DRB application.
