PUBLIC HEARING – 7:00 PM
CORNER OF 117 AND HUDSON ROAD (Route 85) – KANE
Present: Craig Martin, Mr. McCarthy, Martha Remington
Mr. Martin met with the Board to request variances to new construction on a 7.68 acre lot. This lot was permitted in 1996 and the permit has expired. A new permit application, rather than and extension, is required. Mr. Martin explained the layout of the property, the proposed system, as well as the testing that was done in 1996. The well has already been installed.
Variances requested:
Regulation 13 – Hydraulic Overloading – Leaching area to abutting septic system is less than 100 feet with a proposed barrier installed. The variance is being requested as a portion of the site is ledge.
Mr. McCarthy asked for the proposed system to be explained and the background as to why there is a specified distance in the regulation. Craig Martin gave some back ground and explained that although the system would be less than the required distance, a 40 mil poly barrier would be installed.
Mark Sprague stated that it is the Board’s policy not to issue waivers on new construction. Also, the Board would need to determine what the system is on the abutting lot as not to infringe on that system.
Martha Remington stated that there is an abutting property with a well that must be tested yearly. Further, that the lot is a mixed use lot with the front being zoned limited business with the back portion being residential. Ms. Remington would like to see the separate recording showing that the gas station portion of the property has been separate from the rest
Hearing continued to September 13, 2005 at 7:00 pm
148 HUDSON ROAD – MANYAK
Present: Gary Manyak
Mr. Manyak is before the Board to discuss the possibility of utilizing the originally existing structure at 148 Hudson Road as a 40B rental unit. The homeowner has constructed a modular home on the site as his family required more space. As a condition of approval of the new construction, the Board of Health required that the originally existing septic system be destroyed and the well be shared. Inasmuch as the original structure is a perfectly good house to destroy it would be a waste, according to Mr. Manyak.
Mark Sprague asked what the condition of the existing system was. Mr. Manyak stated that it had not been tested and the thought was that it was to be destroyed.
After discussion, the Board voted to require a Title 5 been performed on the existing system A water quality test for existing well as per Bolton Well Regulations; and a copy of recorded well easement language.
