To help determine what members of the town might want, a survey was available on line and in a printed version to all town residents prior to the first public forum which was held on September 13. The Survey results helped guide the committee in listing potential sites and developing criteria that might be applied to selectively edit them. The results are available as an appendix to this report. Eight options were considered : Old Norwich PoolSite, Huntley Meadows, the use of facilities in nearby towns, patchen's point on the Connecticut River Connecticut River at Ledyard Bridge, Dresden Athletic Fields, Ompompanoosuc River Boat Launch, Various locations on private land. The last five are not recommended by this committee for various reasons, which include, but not limited to: liability, parking, safety, accessibility. We are attempting to reach personnel at The Vt. Agency of Natural Resources, phil Dechert, our town Director of Planning and Zoning, and a Civil Engineer from Pathways Consulting to help determine the viability of the two sites that remain: The old Norwich Pool Site and Huntley Meadow. Huntley Meadow lies within a Flood Plain. As of this writing (now November 1-6, 20J.6)there is not yet o response from ANR. Mr. Jeff Goodrich hos indicoted that "tocit opprovol" ¡s not o reliable nor volid indicator of how this ogency will rule on any request. Committee Members also contacted nearby communities that offered public, town sanctioned, swimming facilities. We were specifically interested in capital costs and annual maintenance costs. Currently the Norwich Recreation Department has negotiated a lower daily rate for Norwich Residents to use the facilities of Storr's Pond in Hanover. That opt¡on may remain viable for future years. The committee held a second Public Forum in the Multipurpose Room of Tracy Hallat 6:30 on Tuesday, October 23 to discuss the content of th¡s report.
