The Board of Health Meeting was called to order at 5:00 PM
SEPTIC PLAN REVIEWS:
619 South Road (205/1): Brian MacKeon, Graz Engineering for Christopher Durham, repair of a system that does not meet code. The applicant submitted plans for voluntary local upgrade approval of a Presby System. This was tabled at the 8/28/06 and 9/18/06 meetings. The Board approved the 2’ SAS.
Conditions:
Two (2) additional deep holes, and observation, are required per 4/21/06 revised Title 5 regulations.
Must comply with new Title 5 regulations including but not limited to:
magnetic tape needed on all system components
inspection ports are required
risers over d-box and septic tank if finished grade is greater than 9”
Two (2) 40 mil are required.
This system must be inspected yearly by an independent party, Presby certified inspector, who is not the homeowner, and to file the proper forms with the DEP and local boards. It is the responsibility of the homeowner to schedule the inspections.
There is to be a deed restriction for a remedial Presby system, as stated in #18 on the plans.
M. Waite motioned to approve the plans with the above conditions #1-5. M. Johnson seconded. All in favor.
OTHER BUSINESS:
800 Main St, Edith Morgan: Septic overflow due to connecting a washing machine for a commercial property, which has two septic systems. This has been an on-going problem which required frequent pumping. The owner has agreed to connect to town sewer as soon as possible, and in the meantime, the tenant has agreed not to use the washing machine.
Lot 1 Sterling Road (12/5): HUB Survey Assoc., Inc. for Theodore Zawalick Jr, new construction. The applicant is re-submitting plans for approval. This was tabled at the 9/18/06 meeting. The driveway was too close to the SAS, and the fill encroaches on the neighboring lot. The applicant was asked to re-position the SAS. This has not been done. The Board previously stated that the lot lines either need to be changed or an easement created. J. Crouse informed the Board that Dennis Lipka, Building Inspector, does not believe it is a
good practice to endorse septic easements. The Board agreed that they would not approve septic easements in the future. The Board recommended that the system be moved 90°. TABLED for more information.
Lot 2 Sterling Road (12/5): HUB Survey Assoc., Inc. for Theodore Zawalick Jr, new construction. The applicant is re-submitting plans for approval. This was tabled at the 9/18/06 meeting. The locus was still not added to the plans. TABLED for more information.
Lots 1 & 2 Sterling Rd.:
Must go before the Planning Board for approval as ANR lots.
Both lots need Con Com approval.
The lots lines still need to be addressed.
The locus still needs to be added to the plans.
OTHER BUSINESS:
