I look at the IC Zone and see that 25 acres and I questioned it myself and looked at it. I was like you're on the side of the mountain, what are you going to build there? A big factory? The smaller projects I think is what's going to work better on, you know, we reduce some of the acreage. I don't know what that acreage is.

So -- but we need to be able to get a, get people attracted to it, make it more affordable and put it into some acreage that's usable --
ALTERNATE BOARD MEMBER JENSEN: Yeah, I agree.
MR. P. GOODMAN: -- instead of making it so large.

Not looking at this project as being the -- the project may be the driving force behind this but it's not project specific. I think we're looking at it saying: Here is just another project that we saw and it doesn't work anywhere. Can't we turn around and look at all our IC zones, look at the overlays and what can we do to adapt it so that we can get projects like this or other projects that are going to work in all those zones. I really believe that's what the impetus of the whole conversation was. Nobody's trying to sneak something in or just plug in one project that, you know, and then the heck with everything else.

ALTERNATE BOARD MEMBER JENSEN: Water, yes.
MR. P. GOODMAN: But as far as the rest of the stuff, these businesses are going to get truck traffic. That's -- and it's outlined in the preamble of that saying we're trying to keep the heavy truck traffic close to the interchange.
ALTERNATE BOARD MEMBER JENSEN: Yes.

So I hear what you're saying, but if you're looking what the economic zones are --
ALTERNATE BOARD MEMBER JENSEN: Yes.
MR. P. GOODMAN: -- that's, and you look at the bulk table of what's going to be allowed in them, those are all the areas that they're looking for. So to say they're going to put a bottling plant in, well, we rejected that because we didn't want to see undue, you know, usage of the water.

And I just think sometimes we're so protective of what we're doing and so afraid of any kind of change. But the Master Plan mapped out areas that we want to have business and we can't be afraid to get some of that business in here and say it's going to be an environmental nightmare. Most of the things that -- I know this project is looking at very low water usage on most of the stuff. And then the Planning Board has an awful lot of discretion on what kind of uses does that, that you're going to put in on any of these things.

Opposes water-intensive bottling facilities.

Advocates for business development in areas designated in the Master Plan, citing low water use and Planning Board discretion over uses.
