Ms. Larson provided the Board with a written synopsis of the situation to date. Mr. Martin stated that this was the first opportunity that any information was provided to resolve the matter.
Chris Rogers stated that he feels that the matter of payment is a civil matter and the Board should not be caught in the middle.
Mr. Martin agreed but would like to discuss this situation with the partners of Ducharme & Wheeler. Mr. Rogers would prefer to have both parties at the meeting, however, the Board does require the installer’s as-built.

71 BOLTON WOODS WAY – MCDONALD
Mr. & Mrs. McDonald met with the Board to discuss two conflicting Title 5 evaluations. Beland Septic did the original report indicating a conditional pass requiring a D-Box replacement. Subsequently Casaceli Trucking inspected the property. Casaceli Trucking indicated that although the D-Box did show some signs of wear, it does not require replacement. The McDonald’s are asking the Board to determine whether they will require replacement of the D-Box.
After discussion, the Board voted to accept the opinion of Casaceli on the condition that Board members and Bill Brookings inspect and find that the condition is as described by John of Casaceli Trucking. Appointment set for Friday, June 16, 2006.
237 SUGAR ROAD – GRAUSTEIN
Present: Neil Gorman and Mr. Graustein.
Bill Brookings stated that the water results have been received and they are within range for all chemicals tested. Mr. Gorman provided the Board with pictures of the improvements on the property.
What is being requested is a variance for the well on place Lot 3 and a pump system on the reserve of the currently improved lot.
Lot 1: Variance free
Lot 2: Mr. Rogers stated it is his opinion that since the variance affects the reserve and not the primary, the Board is comfortable with granting a variance. A Title 5 has been completed and it is a passing report. After discussion, the Board voted to approve the request.
Lot 3: The distance from the well to the wetland is 53 feet and is inside the 100 foot buffer zone. It is above the high water mark by 4 to 5 feet. This lot will require a hearing before ConCom. Carol Gumbart is requesting that approval by the Board of Health be subject to approval by ConCom.
Chris Rogers spoke in favor of approving the request. Mark Sprague stated that he is not in favor of approving the request and it has been the Board’s policies not to approve variances on new construction.
After discussion, the Board voted as follows: Rogers – yes; Sprague – no, Gilbert – no. Variance denied.
A discussion as to why the Board adopted a 100 foot offset ensued. Mr. Sprague stated that he is not knowledgeable enough as to why this regulation was created to be willing to vary the distance. He believes that there is a health reason that precipitated the creation of this distance regulation.
116 SAWYER ROAD - NICEWICZ
Ken Nicewicz met with the Board with regard to putting an addition on the farm house. The Board requested that a Title 5 Inspection report be completed. Mr. Nicewicz reported that they would be doing a voluntary upgrade on the property.
