Document Description
A Special Permit to expand an existing 8,750-square-foot (SF) outdoor cannabis cultivation operation to 22,000 SF of outdoor cultivation. Ancillary propagation would occur in a proposed 2,200-SF greenhouse. Water is sourced from a 350,000-gallon onsite rainwater catchment pond and rainwater collection from greenhouse roofs. A permitted groundwater well would be utilized for backup purposes. Water usage is estimated to require 289,000 gallons for irrigation, per growing season, at full buildout (13.13 gallons per SF). Drying of cannabis would continue onsite in an existing outbuilding using dehumidifiers and fans. Offsite processing in a licensed facility is proposed. Up to three independent contract employees are anticipated during peak operations. Power is provided by a 25-kilowatt (kW) (and backup 45-killowatt) diesel generator as the applicant finalizes plans to install a solar array; no expansion is allowed until the project obtains 100 percent of its power needs through alternative energy. A Special Permit is also required for the buffer reduction of the storage pond located within delineated wetland buffers.
