Ossipee’s endorsement of an Effingham gas station struck some as an outlier decision, but it’s part of a years-long pattern.
Effingham’s Planning Board has continued the gas station hearing to July 7 as attorneys for the applicant and abutters debate Northpoint Engineering’s conclusion that a Special Use Permit is required.
Concord-based Northpoint Engineering’s findings are consistent with local assessments that the Meena LLC site plan is insufficient, and that an Environmental Impact Analysis is needed.
Citing concerns about water quality, town officials plan to argue the Meena LLC site plan application should not be approved.
New and improved equipment and DES tank permits are only half of the story. It’s the other half that Effingham officials need to address.
