2. Review Public Session Minutes: 4/13/11
Amendments were made to the BOH Public Session minutes of 4/13/11. Approval of the minutes was continued to the next meeting with full Board attendance.
3. Request for Outdoor Seating: Taylor’s Restaurant
Glen Harrington commented that the restaurant is not changing its menu, just requesting approval for an additional four tables with four chairs each, to be provided at the southern end of the existing restaurant. The rear screen door at the kitchen is proposed to be utilized for service of food from the kitchen. No material of construction is noted for the walkway from the kitchen or the food service seating area. A solid consistent washable patio surface should be provided in the seating area and a solid surface should be provided at the walkway to mitigate dust production. The septic system is constructed to handle the increase in seating.
Burton Kaplan made a motion that the Board approve the outdoor seating request submitted by Taylor’s Restaurant, subject to the following conditions:
(1) Constructing patio with a finished solid consistent washable/cleanable surface
(2) A walkway of solid material
(3) Covers for the tables, either umbrellas or awning
(4) Septic inspection
(5) If the screen door is not maintained, then an air door will be required
(6) If seating is less than 10 ft. to the driveway, a barrier may be necessary to prohibit dust migration into the seating area
Kalliope Egloff seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved.
4. Request for 2011 Trash Hauler’s License: Waste Solutions, Inc. (cont’d)
Glen Harrington stated that Town Counsel had offered guidance based on the information presented from Allied and the tipping report from Bourne Landfill.

Burton Kaplan made a motion that the Waste Solutions, Inc. hearing be continued to the next Board of Health meeting with full Board attendance. Kalliope Egloff seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved.

Burton Kaplan stated his feeling that before these applications reach the Board of Health for approval, they should be reviewed or returned for completion. Glen Harrington stated that these events happen every year, and he had recommended in the past that the Event Coordinator come before the BOH to discuss who will be participating, what foods they would serve, and in general, educate the Event Coordinator as to how the Board of Health wants the event to be run.
Burton Kaplan made a motion that the Board of Health approve the above-listed Temporary Food Permit applications, subject to inspection at the time the event is held. Kalliope Egloff seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved.
