Attendees: Mike Renahan, Jan Buhrman, Katie Carroll, Sylvia Yeomans, Doug Cooper
Minutes BThe minutes of August 16, 2006 were approved.
Irving & Sarah Petlin (11-34) B Sylvia reported a bedroom count of one. The Board has requested a full Title 5 septic system inspection be performed.
Ray Shea (8-43) B Doug Cooper submitted a preliminary revised plan for this parcel. George Sourati is designing the retaining wall and will be on site while the foundation for the house and the retaining wall are being installed. This septic design requires the following variances; 1) A reduction in separation between leaching area and well from 150 feet to 130 feet, 2) A reduction in separation between leaching area and property line from 30 feet to 20 feet. 3) A reduction in separation between leaching area and wetlands from 150 feet to 115
feet. This design includes a MicroFast system. The Conservation Commission has reviewed and approved this plan. A deed restriction will be imposed restricting the bedroom count to two (2), and a hearing will be held on October 18, 2006 at 5:30 P.M.
Jeff Bennett (13-9.16) B The Board approved a one year extension to Permit #03-28. This permit has been extended to October 1, 2007.
Transfer Station & Landfill Cover Inspection Reports B The Board instructed Sylvia to send copies of these reports to the Selectmen, and to inform them that the Fire Department must clean up debris after their training exercises.
David Kloss (4-23.3) B The Board approved this well permit application. There are three (3) well locations sited and numbered on this plan. If the first well site is not successful, the engineer will come back to the Board for approval on site #2.
Ursula Goodenough (17-56) B The Board approved this replacement well permit. The old well is to be abandoned.
Nursing Contract Services B The Board instructed Sylvia to obtain revised invoices for July and August so we can separate the special needs case from the regular contract and put it in a separate line item on the budget.
James & Margaretta Calvert (21-15) B The Board has received a well report on this parcel, showing that the water is potable. Although the well is less than 100 feet from the leaching area, the well water, as reported, has passed all tests for potability, making this septic inspection a pass.
The following septic inspections were received:
Messenger/JAM Realty Trust (19-16.2) - passes
The following invoices were submitted and approved:
Refuse District Tipping Fees $ 4,171.20
Wampanoag Lab 180.00
Trash/Landfill B Ask the Treasurer if the income for the landfill exceeds expenses.
Menemsha Restrooms - Kent Healy informed Mike that the restrooms are using 3,000 gpd of water. We need to reduce water consumption. The Board requested a note from Mr. Healy explaining the increased use, and then a memo to the Board of Selectmen and Park and Recreation regarding the problem.
The Board reviewed a water report for Menemsha Water Company.
Jonathan Leavy (24-36) -- The Board asked Sylvia to research the minutes for this parcel and find the approval date and terms of condition of the tight tanks. The Board has received an Aas-built@ letter from Kent Healy stating that he inspected the installation of these tanks between May
10, 2000 and
August 29, 2006.
Forbes Smiley (20-41) B The Board reviewed an Aas-built@ letter for this parcel.
Great Sachem Realty Trust/ Arnie Rissman (33-21) B Research maintenance contract and reports for this septic system.
MV Hill/Bob Vila (33-115) - Call Michael Goldsmith at Ron Rappaport=s office for an update on gaining access to the workshop for an inspection.
The Board asked Sylvia to inform Tim Carroll that they are still discussing the Revolving Fund.
The Board asked Sylvia to research Title 5 to see if you can have increased flow to a cesspool.
Home Port Restaurant (27.1-84) B Research minutes regarding permit for renovation of take-out counter.
Emergency Preparedness - Sylvia asked the Board for clarification regarding the tasks the Board expects her to do in this area. The Board informed Sylvia to prioritize meetings and paperwork so as not to exceed 16 hours per month in emergency preparedness (e.p.) related activities. Katie said that the Flu Clinic meetings do not need to be included in the e.p. category, but time allotted to these meetings might want to be limited. Mike indicated that when preparing the budget for next year, if it appears that more hours are needed in this area, the Board will consider an increase in hours.
Respectfully Submitted,
Sylvia Yeomans
Administrator/Inspector
