Board Of Health Minutes

Meeting held on May 27, 2008 6:30 pm at Town Hall
Members present:  Mark Sprague, Andrea Gilbert, William Brookings

6 Mcnulty Rd.
Mark Musche was present.  Mark Musche was requesting a variance for ceiling height 105 CMR 410.401(A).  Bill Brookings explained that previous tenants called Nashoba Associated Boards of Health after they got an eviction notice for non-payment.  A housing inspection done by Nashoba Associated Boards of Health found the ceiling height to be 6’4” must be 7’.

The house is about 200 years old but a newer addition was added on in 1997.  The new addition meets all of the current building codes.  David Drugge, the assistant building inspector recently went out and checked the building codes for separate egress, firewalls, separate meters and heat.

It was explained that once the Board grants variance it must be recorded with the registry of deeds. Mark Sprague explained that the rental agreement should note that there is a variance for ceiling height recorded on the deed.  The Board voted to grant the variance for ceiling height.
