Due to the fact that there was no flow through the system at the time of inspection, the Board is requiring re-inspection six months after occupancy.

ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN
Mark Sprague was elected Chairman of the Board of Health for a term of one year. Andrea Gilbert was elected to the Board of Health for a term of three years.
114 OLD BAY ROAD – CLYDE WHEELER
Mr. Wheeler met with the Board to discuss the possibility of converting the existing barn into an in law apartment. The barn is a detached structure with its own septic system designed for 3 employees a day at approximately 15 gallons per day per person. Chris Rogers stated that he would like a Title 5 inspection completed on the system. At the time the Title 5 inspection is completed a perc test and deep hole would need to be completed so that a capacity could be ascertained.
BOLTON ORCHARD
Rob from Ross Associates met with the Board to discuss the addition of ice cream service at Bolton Orchard. When the leach field was installed, the tanks did not meet the code at that time. Bolton Orchard was allowed to utilize the tanks with the condition that they install additional grease traps and monitor the system. Rob is asking if they can move forward with the existing tanks. It was questioned as to whether ice cream required passage through a grease trap. Bill Brookings will ask Bridgette from food service if she has an opinion.
After discussion, the Board voted to allow Bolton Orchard to move forward with serving ice cream. Details as to additional testing and/or monitoring.
433 SOUTH BOLTON ROAD
Tom DiPersio met with the Board to request variances to upgrade the system. Mr. Tom Geary, the owner, was also present. Mr. DiPersio stated that it is a difficult lot. They are proposing a two bedroom system to be installed in the same place as the failed system as there is no other area on the site for a system. Mr. DiPersio is requesting the following variances:
Regulation 3: Groundwater offset
Regulation 5: Distances which include variances to wetlands, well, property line, tank to house and septic to house.
After discussion, the Board voted to approve the variances for the upgrade of the system.
279 LONG HILL ROAD – STEVE GLOVER
Mr. Glover met with the Board to discuss not demolishing the existing house but utilizing the house. A new home would not be built. This would require an upgrade of the existing system (septic pit) and drilling a new well. In order to utilize the existing house, a new plan would have to be drawn showing a fully compliant system that is variance free. Should this lot require further testing, an out of season variance would be considered.
85 HUDSON ROAD
If the Board of health does not see any action on this property within the next 30 days, the Board will require a Title 5 Inspection be completed.
IRRIGATION WELL AT REGENCY
Toll Bros., has questioned the possibility of installing an irrigation well at the Regency. Bill Brookings spoke with DEP who advised that it would be allowed provided it was outside the Zone 1. The Board advised that they would like to be aware of any permits that are applied for through NABH.
TOWN NURSE CLINIC HOURS AND LOCATION
Brook James will be stepping down as Town Nurse on June 30, 2007. NABH Nursing was retained in her place. It is possible that additional clinic will be available to the town to encompass more than just the seniors. The Board is being asking where they would like to hold these additional clinics. After discussion, it was decided that due to the parking restrictions and the need to be buzzed into the building, the Board feels that another location more suitable to an open clinic should be pursued.
SUNSET RIDGE
Additional testing is to be completed on this site. A variance hearing has been scheduled for June 12, 2007 at 7:00 pm. The Board will determine, at a later day, whether they will require an independent review engineer.
ALTOCID
The Board will hold a public hearing on the use of Altocid to control mosquitos on June 12, 2007 at 8:00 pm.
Meeting adjourned.
