The Conservation Commission has reviewed the proposed project. Mr. Casiello was concerned over the impact to neighbors on Drummers Lane, the length of time the projects would take to complete, hours of operation and noise levels. Mr. Chapin provided a document detailing the timeline and addressing most of Mr. Casiello’s concerns.
