Mr. Martin met with the Board to request a variance for the location of the well in relation to the proposed driveway. The well has already been installed.

Mr. Martin is proposing a permanent barrier or guardrail to protect the well heard.
Mr. Sprague stated that he feels that the well is too close even with the protection. Andrea Gilbert stated that she also feels that the driveway is too close to the well head, even with protect.
After discussion, the board voted to deny the variance as follows: Rogers – yes, Sprague – no, Gilbert – no.

46 NOURSE ROAD – VARIANCE HEARING – UPGRADE
Present David Favereau
Mr. Favereau is before the Board to request variances to upgrade the system as there is no place to put a reserve. By designing this system in this way, he believes this is the better of two evils. Bill Brookings provided the Board with some background on the site.

After discussion, the Board voted to approve the variances.
A well regulation was also approved.
LOT 33, 55 OAK TRAIL – REISSUE
System installed in 2005, however sign off was not completed. The permit was extended and expired in the fall of 2005. Since that date, Title 5 regulations have changed. Bill Brooks stated that he feels that this board does have authority to resolve this matter. What would need to be done is an additional port be installed and magnetic tape would need to be installed over the trenches to be in full compliance.
Andrea Gilbert feels that the developer has made enough of an effort that she feels that the permit can be issued. Mark Sprague and Chris Rogers agree. After discussion, the Board voted to sign the new permit.
