5. Old Business
(a) Special Exception #259, Jonathan & Colleen Totman, Hair Salon at 183 Route 81 – scheduled for January 5, 2010
C. Jefferson noted the date of this public hearing will have to be changed due to the fact this application includes adding on 8 feet to the septic system which requires a review by the Inland Wetlands & Watercourses Commission. The IWWC will not meet before the 5th. Jefferson also noted the Town's Health Director has resigned and it is not clear what will happen in that respect. The Town Sanitarian works under the Health Director. Chairman Lentz noted this public hearing will be rescheduled to January 19, 2010.
6. Zoning Enforcement Officer's Report
C. Jefferson noted the letter to the Killingworth Village is self-explanatory. The bollards still have not been installed at the propane tank and the work not completed for the enclosed outdoor cooler.
There was a brief discussion regarding outdoor wood burning furnaces. C. Jefferson noted Richard Blumenthal has called for a ban on all of these units in the State. This probably won't be taken up until the next Legislative Session in 2010.
7. New Business – none.
8. Report of Officers and Subcommittees
Jere Adametz noted he attended the last Board of Selectmen's meeting where they voted to change the newspaper of record to the Middletown Press. He also noted the BOS are looking for a new town attorney. First Selectwoman Iino felt the Town Attorney should not reside in town.
Jere Adametz briefly reviewed State funding for CRERPA. They are not receiving any funds this year so there will be cut backs. They have been talking about regionalization and changing things around.
Jim O'Brien asked if the Health Director is appointed locally and do they now have to look for someone else to do it. He also noted a couple years ago the town looked into joining the Health District, but found it to be prohibitively expensive.
9. Adjournment
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 7:11 PM.
