54 & HAP-17-10) AT 783 MOUNT PHILO ROAD FOR PROPOSED SUBDIVISION
55 Scott Hardy, applicant, reviewed a new application of a prior approval, which expired.
56
57 MOTION by Mr. Tegatz, seconded by Mr. Tenney, to approve a request by Scott
58 Hardy for a Highway Access Permit, HAP-17-09 and HAP-17-10, located at 783 Mt
59 Philo Road for a proposed subdivision.
60 DISCUSSION:
61 Mr. Bloch noted that the Charlotte Road Commissioner reported that the conditions
62 have not changed. There are 700’ sight distances in both directions.
63 VOTE: 3 ayes, absent (Mr. Krasnow, Ms. Spear); motion carried.
64
65 ANNA NADEAU, TRUSTEE, MARY LIGHTHALL TRUST—REQUEST FOR
66 LICENSE AGREEMENT TO INSTALL TELECOMMUNICATION FACILITIES
67 UNDER HILLS POINT ROAD
68 Anna Nadeau explained that in order to have Comcast service a cable needs to be run
69 from a pole on the other side of the road, under the roadway and onto her property.
70
71 Mr. Bloch said that the license agreement gives the Town the right to relocate the cable
72 location if necessary. The Road Commissioner recommends a 4’ depth between the
73 surface and cable, and 25’ off the travel portion, said Mr. Bloch.
74
75 MOTION by Mr. Tegatz, seconded by Mr. Tenney, to approve a request by Anna
76 Nadeau, Trustee of the Mary Lighthall Trust, for a License Agreement to install a
77 telecommunication facility under Hills Point Road at 613 Hills Point Road, subject
78 to conditions recommended by the Charlotte Road Commissioner.
79 DSICUSSION:
80 Mr. Tenney asked if the revocable trust should be a part of the motion. Mr.
81 Morrison noted that there were two co-trustees. Ms. Nadeau said that the co-
82 trustees are herself and her mother.
83 AMENDMENT by Mr. Tegatz, seconded by Mr. Tenney, to identify the pole as Pole
84 #12, and to authorize the Charlotte Selectboard Chair to sign the License
85 Agreement on behalf of the Town of Charlotte.

91 value from $520,000 to $518,400 on a different part of the property. The Selectboard
CHARLOTTE SELECTBOARD 08/28/2017 PAGE 3
92 needs to sign the stipulation before Wednesday, August 30, 2017, when the hearing
93 officer reviews the request, said Ms. Tegatz.
94
95 MOTION by Mr. Tenney, seconded by Mr. Tegatz, to enter into a Stipulation and
96 Agreement for Docket #PVR 2016-14 with Clark W. Hinsdale, III, as presented.
97 VOTE: 3 ayes, absent (Mr. Krasnow, Ms. Spear); motion carried.

102 PUBLIC COMMENT
103 None.
104
105 MOUNT PHILO HOPS FARM—DISCUSSION
106 Mr. Morrison reviewed the process for taking testimony regarding the Mount Philo hops
107 farm, which is a request by the farm neighbors on East Thompson’s Point Road, Palmer
108 Lane and Big Oak Lane. The Selectboard has no role in the issue. The Vermont Land
109 Trust manages the use of the land, and has issued a letter that growing hops is an
110 accepted agricultural practice. The Department of Agriculture has noted that a pesticide
111 plan is not complete at this time. The purpose of the meeting is to identify the issues and
112 concerns so that the technical persons can address those issues. There will be no
113 negotiating or designing an agricultural plan, stated Mr. Morrison.
114
115 Peter Schubart, East Thompson’s Point Road resident, asked the Selectboard if the hops
116 farm is in conformance with the Town Plan and if the Board will engage the Town
117 Attorney. Mr. Morrison stressed that the Selectboard will listen. No action will be taken,
118 said Mr. Morrison.
119
120 Julian Post, hops farm representative, reviewed his educational qualifications and hops
121 farming experiences, and narrated a power point presentation of hop farm operations in
122 Michigan and Vermont, a site map created by Waite and Heidel, general growing
123 practices, integrated pest management utilizing spraying, plant selection, plant location,
124 disease forecasting, and beneficial insects.
125
126 Mr. Post said that a neighbor’s have expressed a concern regarding pesticide use, which
127 is not the focus of disease/pest management. He will follow the rules of the labels, stated
128 Mr. Post.
129
130 Nick Cowles, Shelburne Orchard owner, said that he has a similar agricultural use as
131 Julian Post. His orchard is surrounded by neighbors, he and his family live on the orchard
132 property. His neighbors that had pesticide concerns have found them unfounded due to
133 better practices. Everyone in the industry is doing better spraying practices. In the
134 orchard he is able to time-spray for wind drift, spray when it is calm, or the middle of the
135 night to protect ourselves and neighbors. Is a non-issue with his neighbors due to our
136 integrity. He knows Julian; Julian has integrity. If there is no hops farm at that location
CHARLOTTE SELECTBOARD 08/28/2017 PAGE 4
137 then someone else could have an agricultural use there that may not be any better, said
138 Mr. Cowles.
139
140 Linda Samter, 95 Big Oak Lane, said that she represents her and neighbors concerns as a
141 group. She supports farming. Ms. Samter reviewed her Natural Resources educational
142 qualifications from Cornell and UVM, and professional career experiences, and narrated
143 a power point presentation outlining concerns and issues related to pesticide, fungicide
144 uses, goals of the Town Plan, character of the neighborhood as mixed agricultural and
145 residential, impacts to ground and surface water, conservation easements and natural
146 resources, a site map of the hops farm, residential areas and abutting land uses, air blast
147 spraying and spraying heights, and pesticide/herbicide drifting.
148
149 Erin Kunek, Big Oak Lane, reviewed her health care career qualifications, and read a
150 written statement related to the impacts of pesticide use, health studies, and a correlation
151 with pesticide exposure and human health into the record. A minimum 250’ setback
152 buffer is requested versus the required 50’ setback, said Ms. Kunek.
153
154 There was lengthy discussion regarding the inadequacies of the current 50’ setback
155 requirements; studies supporting a minimum of a 250’ setback; EPA and federal laws;
156 pesticide label laws related to spray drift into sensitive areas; a suggestion to plant trees
157 higher than the hops poles in 2-3 row densities to mineralize spray drift; concerns for
158 ground water and well water pollution from pesticides/herbicides; and questions on how
159 the hops farm will supply the large amount of water needs in an area where there are low
160 water well yields.
161
162 Ms. Samter stated that the neighbors will want well interference testing done by the hops
163 farm. There are concerns of contamination running into Thorpe Brook and into the Lake,
164 said Ms. Samter.
165
166 Mr. Post said that in response there are not many hops farms in New England, and
167 suggested to look at apple orchards in Vermont for spraying and pesticide data. He has
168 talked with Eric Bayard, CPS, who works with orchards and hops farms in the state. For
169 example, Shelburne Orchards, Sunrise Orchards, Hackett Orchard, or Chapin Orchards.
170 People have lived in close proximity to those orchards for many years, said Mr. Post.
171
172 Cary Giguere, Vermont State Pesticide Regulatory Program representative, and Patti
173 Casey, Vermont State Ground Water Protection Coordinator, explained that a well base
174 line study will happen, regarding buffers, 250’ is not a standard buffer for an orchard, or
175 corn field. NOFA requires a 50’ buffer for row crop related to nutrient management.
176 There are a few drift cases investigated per year, said Mr. Giguere.
177
178 Mr. Morrison said that a pesticide plan has not been done yet, and asked if the state
179 requires one. Mr. Giguere replied that it is an individual farm management decision. State
180 statutes govern state permits for activities, such as golf courses. They are required to
181 submit a vegetative plan. The Department of Agriculture does not require a pesticide
182 management plan; it is a nutrient plan, clarified Mr. Giguere.
CHARLOTTE SELECTBOARD 08/28/2017 PAGE 5
183
184 Heather Darby, UVM Extension Professor and Agronomy Specialist, explained that
185 farmers have to be licensed and must go through proper training for educational credits
186 for pesticide/fungicide management. It is administrated by the state with follow up
187 enforcement. No one can just spray. Julian did the training and passed the training. A
188 plan may not be required, said Ms. Darby.
189
190 In response to a 250’ setback buffer request, Mr. Giguere said that the state has local field
191 staff and he does enforce labels. A certified product must be used. He will get some
192 information relative to toxicities for the neighbors, said Mr. Giguere.
193
194 Ms. Kunek said that chronic toxicity is not posted on labels, said Ms. Kunek. Mr. Giguere
195 replied that there is a lot of interpretation of labels. Is it up to the state to decide what is a
196 sensitive area, such as a school, or wells, said Mr. Giguere.
197
198 Patrice DeMarco, Palmer Lane resident, stated that a label says ‘don’t apply chemicals
199 within 250’ downwind.” The hops farm would be in violation of that label since there are
200 homes within 60’ of the boundary, said Ms. DeMarco. Ms. Samter read an EPA list of
201 sensitive area standards related to pesticide drift. Mr. Giguere explained that the states are
202 working with the EPA to create better spray drift language. The Spray Drift chair, Dave
203 Scott, is in Burlington today. In Vermont those concerns are valid. Current Vermont law
204 also allows a farmer to grow crops and use pesticides as he sees fit, said Mr. Giguere.
205
206 Peter Kahn, Palmer Lane resident, said that spray drift will exceed the 50’ buffer and drift
207 onto his land. What are the penalties, asked Mr. Kahn. Mr. Giguere said that he will send
208 a penalty matrix to the Selectboard. There is a $1,000 per count label violation
209 assessment for private individuals. Counts add up quickly. On average a private
210 individual penalty runs $3,000-7,000, and a commercial violation averages $10,000-
211 15,000. It is similar to a driver’s license penalty for repeat offenders; there are points
212 against an applicator’s license and they can lose their license, said Mr. Giguere.
213
214 Mr. Kahn said that he abuts the hops farm and he walks down his driveway every day. He
215 has a well and pond on his property. What happens if he finds pesticides, asked Mr.
216 Kahn. Mr. Giguere replied that Matt will investigate the first call. A driveway is not a
217 sensitive site. A pond is, said Mr. Giguere.
218
219 Mr. Cowles explained that a farmer is on his tractor and can tell when the wind shifts by
220 watching the wind tell-tales on the tractor. His home is on the orchard property, he has
221 children and his wife has horses. He can control the sprays and not get any drift into the
222 pastures, said Mr. Cowles.
223
224 Derrick Chase asked if the state will provide test kits. His house is 60’ from the hops
225 farm. Mr. Giguere replied that there are no testing kits. The state does place drift cards
226 out and Matt has offered to do that. The drift cards are moisture and oil sensitive.
227 Depending on the nature of a complaint an investigator can be on-site within minutes to
228 hours to investigate. For a general complaint he could be there that day, or if it can wait it
CHARLOTTE SELECTBOARD 08/28/2017 PAGE 6
229 does. Hop fungicides are different from what an apple orchard uses. The cards are good
230 for finding corn herbicides. The state will gather data for a water base line for surface and
231 ground water before any applications and will continue after applications. Drift cards
232 indicate a ‘yes/no’, said Mr. Giguere.
233
234 Mr. Giguere said that he has legislative authority to investigate complaints. There are
235 land regulations and permitting to site a house, and a commercial operation goes through
236 ACT 250 permitting. Agriculture is exempt from ACT 250. Technology changes and
237 there are different methods to control drift. Air blast sprayers are falling out of favor.
238 Vegetative buffers do wonders and are better than fences, said Mr. Giguere.
239
240 Mr. Post said that he could place vegetative buffers in appropriate places. Susanna Kahn
241 said that vegetative buffers would need to be 18’ high. Could Mr. Post put in 18’ high
242 buffers, asked Ms. Kahn. Mr. Post replied yes; if the vegetation grows that high. He can’t
243 afford to buy 18’ high trees, said Mr. Post.
244
245 Jim LeBerge, dairy farmer, suggested using a boom sprayer. The photographs display by
246 Mr. Post show a huge drift with a side sprayer, pointed out Mr. LeBerge.
247
248 In response to a question regarding special precautions to take and what pesticides should
249 not be used around bees, Mr. Giguere said that insecticides would have the biggest
250 impact. He was not hearing that insecticides would be used on the hops. There are 76
251 active ingredients that are toxic to bees. He would research fungicides and if those would
252 affect bees, said Mr. Giguere.
253
254 Ms. Darby said that hops are not a plant that bees visit. Bees may pass through a hop yard
255 at any given time of day. The issues are drift. Not many insecticides are used on hops,
256 and not spraying insecticides is a better practice. Beneficial organisms are used in
257 growing hops. There was a study done that placed bee hives in an almond orchard in full
258 bloom. Multiple insecticide sprays were used and the findings showed that there would
259 be minimal impact to the bees, said Ms. Darby.
260
261 Mona Schreck, North Ferrisburgh farmer, said that she grows hops and bees do not land
262 on hops. Local gardeners have roses and flowers and use sprays to control bugs. She has
263 never seen any bugs on hops, which taste disgusting to bugs. Drift is controlled and will
264 not affect bees, stated Ms. Schreck. Ms. Darby said that Mona made a good point.
265 Regarding fungicides there is a lot done before applying fungicides. It is a risk to the
266 farmer and family, and costs a lot of money. The first thing is to invest in disease free
267 root stock if a farmer wants to be successful. A farmer wants to keep downy mildew out
268 of a hop farm by purchasing a variety of resistant hops. If a disease does encroach then
269 spray is used minimally. Older hops plants lose significant yield and then the farmer
270 would pull them out, explained Ms. Darby.
271
272 Mr. Giguere thanked the assemblage for the invitation to attend and offered to continue in
273 a civil open dialog. He will offer to go over relative toxicities with the property
274 owner/farm manager and neighbors, said Mr. Giguere.
CHARLOTTE SELECTBOARD 08/28/2017 PAGE 7
275
276 Mr. Briggs reviewed concerns and issues as stated. He did care about safety on the farm
277 and in the neighborhood. They will hold themselves to a higher standard, and comply
278 with the letter and spirit of the law. He puts his trust in Julian, and thanked Heather for
279 her support of the hops farm. He will be transparent, although he can’t answer all the
280 complicated questions and concerns. Next spring is the earliest to have hops in the
281 ground and there is the winter to plan. It may be true he is a New York businessman. His
282 family had been farmers for generations. Today, 90 percent of farmers go out of business.
283 This is creating jobs, said Mr. Briggs.
284
285 Ms. Samter reviewed that she heard that there will be good planning over the winter, and
286 that distances are safe. She has also heard that 20-30 poles would put in this fall, and
287 planting will take place next spring. Will you hold off on setting the poles, asked Ms.
288 Samter. Mr. Briggs replied setting in the poles has not been decided yet. It is our risk at
289 what point we will do each step, said Mr. Briggs.
290
291 Megan Browning, organic vegetable farmer, said that Governor Scott is concerned
292 regarding a declining population in Vermont. Julian is a young farmer. The average age
293 for a farmer is 55 year old and Vermont needs young farmers or we will lose farms in the
294 nation, stated Ms. Browning.
295
296 Jorden Blucher said he was not against farming. It is about our families, health and not
297 getting sick because a farm went in across the road, stated Mr. Blucher.
298
299 Mr. Chase said he has lived in Charlotte most of his life. He has a low yield well. When
300 his well runs dry will Charlotte help get him potable water. When his well get
301 contaminated will the Town adjust his taxes, or buy his property, asked Mr. Chase.
302
303 Greg Heidel, Waite and Heidel, said he has lived in North Ferrisburgh 40 years and
304 believes that hydrogeology impacts on well quality will be low. A well is drilled in
305 bedrock, is encased, and in Charlotte there is a 100’ thick protective clay layer. Surface
306 water and pesticides will not filter down through the clay layer. Regarding quantity of
307 water, he is not sure the farm would draw from the two irrigation ponds in a normal
308 precipitation period. If irrigation well is drilled to support the two ponds his firm would
309 do testing of neighboring wells first. It is an evaluation to be determined. Water quality is
310 safe due to the clay layers; a water balance study is being done. There is an 85-acre
311 catchment area south of the pond and a 20-acre catchment area west of the pond, surface
312 water sheds to ponds and the ponds will be full by spring. Each pond will hold 600,000
313 gallons of water. The estimate yield of the ponds in normal precipitation months was
314 done using daily data from the Burlington weather station, and precipitation averages
315 over 30 years, 1981-2010, was used to provide supplement water for dry years, explained
316 Mr. Heidel.
317
318 Mr. Briggs said the ponds were sized on estimates by Julian. Updated view of water
319 availability and water usage is variable. He doesn’t have all the inputs. It appears that the
320 farm will have water available in normal years and in an abnormal year will have the
CHARLOTTE SELECTBOARD 08/28/2017 PAGE 8
321 ability to enlarge the ponds for a bigger buffer, said Mr. Briggs. Mr. Post said that the
322 hops will not die if they get less water than we want. The hops yields may be affected.
323 The farm will not compromise people’s wells, stated Mr. Post.
324
325 Mr. Demick, organic farmer abutting the hops farm, asked who designed the pond next to
326 his property. Mr. Post replied the firm who dug the ponds. Mr. Demick said that there is a
327 100’ long spillway onto his property. Keep the water off his property. Now you dug a
328 ditch that the pond will spill over into and pesticide contamination will flow into Thorpe
329 Brook and then the Lake, said Mr. Demick. Mr. Post said that the spillway water
330 overflow will do down hill to the ditch and go into the Town ditch. The farm has not
331 added any water into the system. The ditch next to your property is better than before,
332 said Mr. Post.
333
334 Mr. Demick said that copper fungicides will kill every living thing. Mr. Post said that he
335 is not planning on fungicides in the pond.
336
337 Gil Livingston, Vermont Land Trust, said that there has been a misinterpretation of the
338 conservation easement, and read a state of purpose regarding a conservation easements
339 into the record and that primarily, the Land Trust supports productive agricultural uses.
340 Secondly, the purpose is to protect scenic vistas. There is a regulatory provision
341 regarding construction of farm improvements, or the potential of division of the farm into
342 units; not farm practices. Regarding the hoop house, any structural improvement requires
343 some form of approval. The conservation easement is co-held by two agencies: the
344 Department of Agriculture and the Vermont Housing Board. The primary stewardship
345 sits with the Vermont Land Trust, said Mr. Livingston.
346
347 Mr. Morrison thanked all the participants for coming. 348
349 LINDA RADIMER—REQUEST FOR “WILDLIFE CROSSING” SIGNS ON
350 TOWN HIGHWAYS
351 A request by Linda Radimer will be rescheduled for the next Selectboard agenda.
352
353 CHITTENDEN UNIT FOR SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS (“CUSI”)
354 INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT (3 YEAR AGREEMENT)
355 Mr. Bloch reviewed that the Chittenden Unit for Special Investigations amount is a pro-
356 rated cost split between towns based on population. Last year the cost to Charlotte was
357 approved for $5,700, and the cost this year is $7,000. The Town budgets for one year.
358 The agreement binds the Town to a payment for three years, which is reviewed by the
359 Selectboard each year, said Mr. Bloch.
360
361 Mr. Tegatz said he was not in favor of an open ended amount. Section 6, 4th paragraph of
362 the agreement did not include a payment schedule, pointed out Mr. Tegatz.
363
364 No action was taken.
365
366 BUDGET REVIEW SCHEDULE
CHARLOTTE SELECTBOARD 08/28/2017 PAGE 9
367 Mr. Bloch reviewed a proposed FY19 budget review schedule starting with the
368 September 11th Selectboard meeting. Mr. Morrison spoke in favor of the FY19 budget
369 review schedule as drafted.
370
371 Mr. Tegatz said that CVFRS budget review is scheduled for September 25th and a
372 quarterly financial report could be presented at that time as well.
373
374 Mr. Morrison asked staff to reconfirm the date and time with CVFRS. 375
376 SELECTBOARD UPDATES
377 Mr. Tegatz reported that a new CVFRS Board has been elected.
378
379 Mr. Morrison reviewed a schedule of upcoming meeting as follows:
