Jeanne Kuespert handed out an agenda and other materials (see attached).
The first item was review of the latest design revisions to Ayers, Cove,
Centerville, North Beverly and Hannah. There was a discussion about the
necessity of emergency generators at each school. Judy asked if dual-fired
burners should be considered as an option at all schools except Centerville in
case of a future gas shortage and if there would be an additional cost.
Underground storage tanks are not planned. They would have to be added
later. Rod will talk to Doug Murray about this.
ERF+A brought to the attention of the commisssion that the subdivision plan
filed by Cummings is only 2 acres. Seven acres is necessary for the building
lot. This needs to be addressed. The Mayor will be talking to Cummings today
and this will be discussed.
Geller and Assoc. has requested the building commission to sign a "Request
for Determination of Applicability of the Wetlands Act" for Ayers and Cove.
Mike Lauranzano moved and Nancy Levin seconded to approve doing so.
Voted 2-0. On April 30 there will be a hearing before the Conservation
Commission for all 6 schools. This is not on the agenda yet. On May 21 there
will be a public hearing before the Conservation Commission regarding
Hannah, Centerville, North Beverly and the New School.

the plumbing cannot be done until the results are known. Rod, Judy and
