Minutes BThe minutes of September 20, 2006 were approved, and the minutes of
September 6, 2006 were approved as corrected.
Home Port Restaurant (27.1-84) B The Board met with Will and Madeline Holtham to discuss the number of seated patrons they are permitted, and to confirm that the septic system has adequate flow for the restaurant and apartment on the upper level. The Board pointed out that seated patrons on the porch must be included in the total seating of the restaurant. The Board will research restaurant seating regulations, and septic requirements before making a determination on this issue.
Frank Sica (20-78) B Leo DeSory and Jeff Serusa were present to discuss modification of the existing well. The owner would like to run a line from the existing well on assessors= parcel 20-78 to assessors= parcel 20-32. Both lots are owned by Mr. Sica. The intent is to use both wells for irrigation and livestock purposes only. Mr. DeSorcy said that the extension to the 2nd lot is for precautionary purposes only. The Board approved the following;
1) Mr. DeSorcy will have an attorney attach a letter of conditions to the deed restriction that states, if there is a change of use or ownership of parcel 20-32, the owner must disconnect the well line. 2) Authorization must be received from the Prospect Hill Association. 3) Mr. DeSorcy will run the pipe to the end of parcel 20-78, but it will not be connected without Board of Health approval.
John M. Calligy (33-76.1) B The Board did not approve this well application at this time. They would like to know why the well is being replaced, and they would like to have the water lines shown on the site drawing.

Guest house is a conditional pass because it has a metal tank

Leah Littlefield (27.1-56) B We received a Statement of Technical Deficiency on the alternative waste water system application submitted by Wastewater Alternatives of New England, LLC (WANE). WANE will make the appropriate modifications as instructed by DEP and will resubmit the application.

The Board has requested that Sylvia call Doug Cooper to make sure he is aware of the DEP changes on the MicroFAST system.
The Board asked Sylvia to contact the Police and have the summons for illegal dumping that was sent to the Masers lifted.
Middle Line Road Project B Mike explained what was covered in the meeting held earlier in the day. The Selectmen have requested that Kent Healy do soil tests in the north portion of the site. The Board approved out-of-season soil testing and asked Sylvia to call Kent Healy and Warren Doty with this information.
M.V. Hill (33-115) B Mike reported to the Board what transpired during the inspection of the workshop at this parcel. It appears that the structure is not in compliance with the deed restriction. Mike will speak to Michael Goldsmith, at Ron Rappaport=s office and find out how to
