BURNHAM ROAD – VACANT LAND – STEVE GLOVER

Present:  Steve Glover, Martha Remington

Mr. Glover met with the Board to get direction property on Burnham Road.  Perc tests were done at under 2 minutes.  In order to develop the property, variances would be required from the Board, distance from wetland and distance from existing well.  The property was not subdivided to create the lot.  It has been in existence for sometime.

Mark Sprague stated that generally speaking, it is the policy of the Board of Health not to approve variances on new construction.  Chris Rogers asked how high the system would be, Bill Brookings stated the system would be in the ground.  Mark Sprague as well as Chris Rogers stated that without more detailed plans a variance could not be entertained, however, the Board does not generally approve variances on new construction.

If Mr. Glover is willing to provide more information and a more exact proposal of the system, the Board would be able to give him better direction.

LOTS 1 & 9 NORTHWOODS – LARRY DUCHARME

Present:  Larry Ducharme

Mr. Ducharme met with the Board to continue the hearing of June 14, 2005.  He presented the Board with information from Peter Fletcher.  Mr. Fletcher stated that he believes that we should be using the modeling however, he feels that there is a perching of the soils under certain circumstances.

Mr. Ducharme stated that in most cases the high water is within a few inches of the mottles.  On this site, the high water does not match the mottles.  

Chris Rogers stated that with 7 years of test holes and a soil scientist viewing the site, he feels that 4 feet is adequate considering the due diligence done on this site.  Mark Sprague is not comfortable with the situation if the Bolton Board if Health Regulations are not going to be changed.  He feels that the Board needs to decide what direction the Board wants to go in before approving a variance to this regulation.

After discussion, the hearing was continued to July 26, 2005 at 7:45 pm
