Ft., but in section 3, on page 3-1, it indicated 1,120 sq. Ft. Confirming the size of the project. Applicant indicates that the project is 1,344 sq. Ft. Vice Chair Perkins didn’t see anything about noise- it is a pump station and is aware that there are no residents nearby, except Hope House. Asked about what noise will be generated. Will be using electric motors, which are very quiet. Can carry on a conversation inside the building with pumps running. Only time there would be noise would be during a power outage when they would utilize a gas-powered generator. To minimize noise, will be enclosed within the brick structure; can provide the decibel range if needed/requested. This would only be during a power outage or 15-20 minutes a week when an exercise is needed. Otherwise you’ll not hear these pumps running outside. No further staff comments. Member Brush asked about two recommended conditions in the memo. Planning Office Krieg stated that the revised set of plans addresses the requested conditions, so no conditions are being requested. Member Brush moved to approve the Land Development Permit Application for new booster pump station to replace Crane Booster pump station, proposed floor area 1,344 sq. Ft. at Map- Lot R25-037, located on Corporate Drive, between Texas Avenue and Venture Way, in a Government & Institutional Service District (G&ISD). Applicant; Bangor Water District. Agent; Wright-Pierce. The motion wasseconded by MemberBazinet. Member Shaw had question about verbiage around motionand whether the Board needs to make it pursuant to City Council item 21-210 since that hasn’t yet been added to the current publication of land code. Per City Solicitor Szewczyk, doesn’t think the motion needs to include that; the order is part of the law now, it just hasn’t been added to actual code. No further discussion. All members in favor, roll call vote not taken. Motion carries. Page 3 | 4 City of Bangor Planning Division Planning Board Meeting Minutes – February 15, 2022 OTHER BUSINESS 3.
