Minutes from July 25, 2007 were approved.
Robert & Francis Labaree (21-36 & 37) This disposal works hearing was opened at 5:15 PM. The engineer submitted the green cards and indicated that two were undeliverable, Sue Bruce and Murdock & Co. This is an existing two (2) bedroom residential dwelling with no change in footprint. The following variances are required: Local variances: 1) A reduction in separation between leaching area and property line from 30 ft. to 10 ft., 2) A reduction in separation between leaching area and neighbors leaching area less that 300 ft., 3) A reduction in separation between leaching area and wetland from 150 ft. to 52 ft., 4) A reduction in separation between leaching area and brook from 150 ft. to 64 ft., 5) A reduction in separation between leaching area and salt water body from
200 ft to 158 ft., 6) A reduction in separation between leaching area and coastal bank from 100 ft. to 64 ft., 7) A reduction in separation between leaching area and seasonal high ground water from 5 ft. to 4 ft., 8) A reduction in separation between leaching area and well from 150 ft. to 111 ft. Title 5 variances: 1) A reduction in separation between leaching area and high ground water from five (5) ft. to four (4) ft. The owner will submit a letter acknowledging that they understand the separation between well and leaching area is less than the required 150 ft. The Board approved this disposal works application.
Molly Doyle (3-60) This septic design is for a seven (7) bedroom residential system. This is two (2) houses sharing one leaching area. One house is five (5) bedrooms, and the 2nd house is two (2) bedrooms. The engineer has submitted a drawing that shows the two buildings are able to support separate Title 5 compliant systems. The Board approved this disposal works application.
Town of Chilmark Community Center (30-93) Relocation of the existing well was discussed. This well supports the Community Center and the Library. It is the opinion of the well installer, John Clarke, the engineer, Kent Healy, and the Board of Health, that the easiest solution to this compromised well, would be to raise the well head above ground and put a protective barrier around the well head. The final decision will be postponed until further research has been done. The Board has asked Sylvia to find out from DEP what the new well regulations for a public water supply are, and find out if a well head must be 18 inches above grade, or can it be below grade and sealed.
Tim Carroll reported that new water meters were installed at the Community Center and the Library so the Selectmen can evaluate the water usage of each building. Katie Carroll explained to Tim that Sylvia needs to be included in all future discussions regarding this and any other public water systems Sylvia is licenced to operate and maintain.
Comfort Station Tim Carroll was responding to the memo to the Selectmen of October 25, 2006. He was reporting that new energy efficient hardware had been installed to reduce water usage. The Board informed Tim that they have had several discussions with Kent Healy regarding these installations. There is still some concern regarding the water use, and the quality of the hardware that was installed. The Board wants to meet with Kent again in September of 2007 to discuss this further.
Susan Power (34-1.1) The Board approved this well permit application.
Allan Holt/ Rosemallow Farm Trust (24-33.2) The Board approved a revision to disposal works permit #6-41B for a nine (9) bedroom residential septic system. Eight (8) bedrooms in the main house, and one (1) bedroom over the garage. This system allows a garbage disposal and the total design flow is 1,531 gpd.
