Discussion: Rondeau believed that the Town should be relied upon for more specific solutions to the septic system
problem, and stated that a zoning overlay would further confuse the effort. Both Beeksma and Maki are in favor of
granting the petition for overlay.

the Town of Barnes, and this petition for overlay was believed to be the best possible solution to the potential problem
of too many septic systems affecting water quality in the area.
