OTHER BUSINESS
Vincent Vignaly (DCR) attended for status updates on 23 Scar Hill Road and 442 Main Street after a review of their files.
23 Scar Hill Road – Dennis said the septic system has been installed, but the homeowner has yet to apply for a Certificate of Compliance. A deed restriction is required per DCR. A Certificate of Compliance will not be issued until it is received. A letter will be written informing the homeowner.
442 Main Street – Because of the proximity to the brook, Mr. Vignaly asked if the system had been installed. He was told that it had not and that the septic system plan will expire in October. A reminder letter will be written to the homeowner.
Plan Extensions – Title 5 approves plans for three years. The Board does not want to exceed Title 5 regulations. Currently, the Board approves plans for two years with a one year extension if needed. The Board is considering changing our local regulations to reflect Title 5 regulations which allows for three year approval. The Board will meet at a later date to revise the regulations.
