- Chris MacKenzie from Whitman & Bingham appeared before the Board regarding Lot 20, 34 Fox Run Road to discuss the previous variance given for this property.
- Original wetlands were marked from a plan done in approximately 1996. The new wetlands marker puts the system in the 100’ buffer zone – about 75’ from the wetlands. There is no other place to put the system.
- C. Rogers stated that the subdivision already exists from about 1996. If the subdivision was being done today, you could adjust the lots to accommodate the wetlands. But at this point you can’t do that.
- C. Slade states that Title 5 requires only 50’ from wetlands. He is okay with that as long as an alternative system is also installed.
- L. Andrews asked if the other lot 19 will still be developable if this new system goes in. C. MacKenzie stated yes.
- C. Slade suggested getting letters from abutters approving this new plan.
- Board discussed alternative systems and C. Rogers stated to wait until the perk tests come in.
L. Andrews moved to adjourn the Board of Health meeting at 7:18pm, C. Rogers 2nd. All in favor 3/0.
