But attorney Michael Fee, who represents both applicants, told the planning board on March 23 that his clients do not intend to import cannabis.
“The configuration of the greenhouse is designed to make the airflow go with southwesterly winds,” he said, which would send odors toward 25 Old Bridge Road, currently vacant, and the National Seashore.
Brothers David and John Wilson, who own 25 Old Bridge Road and nearby 19 Hatch Road, were concerned about those odors.
The Wilsons wanted the planning board to require screening on the shared lot line with the target site.
Earlier this week, Fee said in an email that he plans to resubmit the farmers’ applications with the additional information requested by the planning board on April 19.
The High Dune Cooperative, which includes four local growers, has already reached a host community agreement with Truro.
A second marijuana facility, called “the Hatchery,” is also in the works.
Earlier this week, Ment said in a phone interview that the Hatchery has just finished negotiating a host agreement with Truro.
