Chair Chris DiLoreto and four voting members heard testimony on a request to operate a 60-bed residential drug and alcohol facility in existing structures on 163 acres in the Rural District; the applicant proposes placing 40 acres into conservation easement and 20 acres into deed-restricted buffer. Residents raised concerns about traffic, property values, and rural character preservation; the board cited missing documentation and continued the hearing to May 4, requiring detailed maps of conservation and deed-restricted areas.
