Questions around Act 250 process:
How does it get phased?
How much do we need to apply for at any given time?
What are the necessary supporting documents? (waste water)

·         Phasing
o    Sugarbush and Cobb Hill
o    Cobb Hill was a specific project
o    Sugarbush was a Masterplan
·         Detailed engineering for first phase only.
·         Each phase is subsequently approved.
·         Act 250 is a collection of requirements from different agencies.
 
There are 28 questions (ten criteria)
o    ANR
o    Local agencies, municipal
o    Wastewater, stormwater
o    Energy Code, Public Service, Efficiency VT
o    Division for Historic preservation
o    Air quality
o    Habitat
o    Aesthetics?

·         Possibly the Act 250 is not the next move.  Alternatives might be:
o    Wastewater
o    Stormwater
o    Landscape
o    Design guidelines
·         A preliminary meeting with Susan Beard, regional coordinator.
·         Conversations with the ANR, and all the relevant boards might be the next best step.
