Martin Hale (35-44 & 45) B The current septic design is for six (6) bedrooms. The owner currently has four (4) bedrooms in the house, and has proposed a detached bedroom over the garage. The Board has approved the addition of a bedroom over the garage, and connecting the garage to the existing six (6) bedroom septic system.

The calculations for this septic design are for two bedrooms, but this upgrade is only a one bedroom residence. A deed restriction will be imposed to limit this dwelling to one (1) bedroom. This design requires the following variances; Title 5 - 1) A reduction in separation between leaching area and high ground water from four (4) feet to three (3) feet. Chilmark
variances B 1) A reduction in separation between leaching area and property line from 30 feet to 10 feet (A.P. 30-81). 2) A reduction in separation between leaching area and wetlands from 150 feet to 50 feet. 3) A reduction in separation between leaching area and high ground water from five (5) feet to three (3) feet. 4) A reduction in separation between property line and leaching from 30 feet to 10 feet. The Board wants to know if the mounded system has enough room for proper slope from the breakout elevation. The Board also requested that Sylvia research if Chilmark Chocolates (abutter at 30-81) is a public water supply. If it is,
does the radius from their well interfere with the septic design on the Flanders property. The engineer has proposed a new well on this site to improve separation and to upgrade existing well. This hearing is continued to December 6, 2006 at 5:15 PM.
