Lot 2A GREEN ROAD – MORTE
Ms. Judith Graves and Mr. Stephen Morte
Present: Mr. & Mrs. Balco, Gary Klauminzer
Ms. Graves of Ross Associates met with the Board to request a variance for out of season testing. In season testing was completed but there were additional test holes required. Two test holes were completed in September of 2006. The plan, as presented, meets all other Title 5 and Bolton Board of Health requirements.
Mr. Balco stated that in the past the designation for the soils was different. Mr. Bill Brookings advised that now the industry is using a standardize language and designations for soils. Mr. Balco also asked if any other variances were granted on this property. Mr. Brookings advised that the previous plan provided to the Board in January of 2006 placed the system closer than the required 100 feet distance from an adjoining system. At that time the Board advised Mr. Morte that they would not approve a variance. The plan has been redrawn. The plan before the Board meets all requirements.
Mr. Klauminzer advised that in the past he has problems with drainage onto his property and has concerns that this will only make the problems worse. Mr. Morte stated that Mr. Klauminzer lives downhill. Ms. Graves showed Mr. Klauminzer the topography of the lot and the slope of the property in question. Chris Rogers advised that the only issue to be discussed at this Board of Health meeting is Mr. Morte request for an out of season testing variance. Any other issues involving this property would have to be discussed in the correct forum, not this Board of Health meeting.
After discussion, the Board voted to approve this variance request.
