Watson / Scanlon 1315 Samoset Road Map-13 Parcel-116
Terry Ryder presented plans requesting a building permit to add a new foundation, dormer and add additional square footage to an existing dwelling . This property has a Title 5 system that was installed in 1990 with a set back variances that include reduction of distance to wet land and is determined to be environmentally sensitive lot. There is 4 ft.
separation of bottom of leach area to observed groundwater. The system has a capacity for 2 bedrooms. This proposed remodeled dwelling with a full dormer will have 2 bedrooms.
Since this is an environmentally sensitive lot the Board must review the project. The Board has often required secondary treatment in cases where additions have been added on environmentally sensitive areas.
Terry Ryder offered to inspect the current system and return to verify ground water at high tide cycle.
THE BOARD VOTED TO CONTINUE THIS REVIEW AT THE NEXT BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING FEBRUARY 23, 2006.
