Chilmark School Sylvia explained to the Board that there was a high copper level in the water sample taken on June 26th. DEP has requested that Sylvia visit the Lakeville office on August 16th with a representative of the School for the purpose of discussing how to remedy the problem.
Sara Hoffman (19-21) There was an error in siting the property line on this parcel. The engineer has re-sited the property line, and in doing so, the separation between leaching area and property line is only 11 feet. The abutter has no objection as long as the owner of parcel 19-21 replaces some shrubs and trees that were removed from his property. The Board grants this variance with the following condition; a letter must be received from the abutter, Joseph Sollitto, indicating that he is aware of the variance, and has not objection.
The Board reviewed a letter from the Town Accountant regarding a remaining balance of $454.03 in the Landfill Project. The Board has voted to release this amount to the General
Fund.
Beach Plum Inn -- Tim Carroll received a complaint about the Beach Plum Inn. He was told that they had a wooden wash area with dry goods stored under the wash area. He also was told that they had a flood in the basement. Sylvia responded by doing an inspection of the restaurant. They had a plumbing problem which caused a flood in the basement. They had turned the water off and had plumbers in there for most of one day. Sylvia went to the basement and found most of the water had been moped up. She suggested finishing it ASAP to avoid mold. There was some cooking wine, canned goods, and some dry products stored there. The head chef was told that the basement would need to be inspected in the future. He was using stainless wire shelving, all was
clean and no food product was damaged as it was all about three feet off the ground.
The ware washing area in the kitchen is stainless steel with a sanitizing system on it. There was no food product stored under the washer. There are only two wooden shelves in the kitchen, none of which are used for food product or food preparation.
Flu Clinic The Health Agents found out that in order to receive the grant from DPH for the Flu Clinic last fall (Emergency Dispensing Exercise), the island will need to continue to have a regional flu clinic. This clinic is scheduled for November 12, 2007. We plan to use the money from the grant to purchase the flu vaccine for this year. Chilmark will also accommodate the people who do not go to the regional flu clinic, by allowing them to receive flu vaccine shots at the nurses clinic that is held monthly.
Potassium Iodide (KI) The KI distribution will be postponed until sometime in January. All towns will distribute these pills on the same day.
