APPEAL
(Paul Lothrop , Chairman recuse himself from this appeal.)
7. Jeffrey Lynner, Pensco Trust 130 Thorne Road Map-9 Parcel-24
Attorney Duane P. Landreth representing Mr. Lynner, Pensco made an appeal that the soil absorption system located at 130 Thorne Road does not have to be upgraded.
An inspection completed by Darrell Stone, Cape Cod Septic Inspection (5/2/2008) reveals that the pit that was installed was not the size as shown on the 1980 Sturtevant Engineering Plan . The pit was not installed as per the design and therefore is inadequate for the current daily flow.
An earlier inspection dated 4/24/05 done by Inspector Robert Littlefield, Cape Cod Septic Inspection indicated the system passed . The “needs further review” box should have been checked off. The inspector at the time indicated he had reviewed the existing information of the existing septic plan on file and determined the size of the pit in the field. The information was not consistent with the original 1980 Title 5 plan and should have been noted at the time.
Beverly Knox made the motion to deny this appeal , the septic-soil absorption system is inadequate for the current daily flow and should be upgraded.
Pat Lariviere seconded the motion
SO VOTED UNANIMOUSLY
EXTENSION REQUEST FOR OIL TANK
