confirm status of the septic system.
Ted Wheeler (33-18) B Mr. Wheeler needs a bedroom determination for a renovation project. He would like to combine two bedrooms on the top level to make one. Ultimately he would like to have a detached bedroom. By combining the two bedrooms on the upper level, his total bedroom count for the revision is three. The current septic permit is for three bedrooms. The Board has requested that Sylvia do a bedroom count prior to the ZBA meeting on October 10, 2006.
David Heilbroner (17-9, 10 & 11) B The Board approved this disposal works application for a four (4) bedroom residential dwelling. This Title 5 septic system replaces two failed cesspools.

The engineer has agreed that the 45 day deadline will not apply if the Board needs more information. There is still no determination of the Coastal District. The Board has requested the following; 1) The engineer will submit a new plan showing five (5) bedrooms, two (2) in the main house, two (2) in the secondary house, and one (1) in the office. 2)

Tim Carroll also informed the Board that all departments need to adopt regulations for a revolving fund. The Board will discuss this further before taking any action.
Julian Wise (11-44) B The Board approved an out-of-season test hole for this property. If the soils look difficult, the engineer will examine again in December. The engineer will put a monitoring pipe in the test hole.

Pickett House B Although the Board found the air quality report they received to be confusing, it does appear that the air quality is acceptable.
Menemsha Inn (20-8) B The Board did not approve this deed restriction as written. Although this was created from the existing deed restrictions on file, the Board requested that Sylvia reexamine the sample deed restrictions for wording.
