APPOINTMENTS
7:15 PM – Richard Lewis – Title V Violation – 30 Nick Trail.
Steven Lewis, son of Richard Lewis of 30 Nick Trail, introduced himself to the Board.
Glen Harrington commented that 53 Uncle Henry’s Road and 55 Uncle Henry’s Road (now 30 Nick Trail) were permitted at the same time in 1999. Because of abutting wells and the variances required for the wells, denitrification systems were required to be installed at both of these properties. The septic systems were installed, but the denitrification systems were not installed. The two properties and the abutting properties have now been connected to town water, so the variances to the wells are not necessary. Mr. Harrington stated that a single $500 fine was issued for the property at 53 Uncle Henry’s Road and the approval of the variance was rescinded. 30 Nick Trail is similar except that there were 2 abutting wells for the approval of that septic system.
Burton Kaplan remarked that there are 2 issues that require attention. One is to rescind the requirement for the Innovative Alternative system, and the other is to delete the fine.
Lucy Burton made a motion that the Board of Health rescind the denitrification requirement for 30 Nick Trail. Kalliope Egloff seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved.
Kalliope Egloff made a motion that the Board of Health rescind $250 of the $500 fine imposed on February 27, 2013, for 53 Uncle Henry’s Road. Lucy Burton seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved.
Kalliope Egloff made a motion that the Board of Health levy a fine of $250 for 55 Uncle Henry’s Road (now 30 Nick Trail). Lucy Burton seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved.

Lucy Burton made a motion to approve the 2013 Food Establishment Permit for wholesale only for White Lion Baking Company with the condition of a pre-operation inspection and obtaining a wholesale license from the Department of Public Health. Kalliope Egloff seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved.
4. Board Approval – Definitive Subdivision Plan: Southworth Mashpee Properties, LLC.

The site plans and details of the plan are for the Board of Health’s review, especially the drainage and the setbacks. The Subdivision will be connected to town water and the Willowbend Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Lucy Burton made a motion to approve the Definitive Subdivision Plan for Southworth Mashpee Properties, LLC. Kalliope Egloff seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved.
5. Request for Proposed Peapod Pick-up Program: Stop and Shop (Kristina Stefanski, Rep).
Kristina Stefanski, Director of Quality Assurance for Stop and Shop, introduced herself to the Board.
Ms. Stefanski commented that the Peapod Pick-up Program is an extension of their delivery service. There will now be remote locations at some of the stores so customers can pick up their orders.
The food and groceries come from Peapod wareroom in Mansfield. It is a smaller store format within a store. From a food safety perspective and efficiency perspective the orders are picked, set in totes, placed on the delivery truck, and delivered to the store. The food is kept in a storage hub which is alongside the building.
The time and temperature studies are performed annually through a third party, an outside company that is paid for the service. An annual study and quarterly audits will be done internally on the delivery process. In addition, upon delivery to a customer, an associate will take a quick temperature of the product to ensure that the cold chain is maintained.
Kalliope Egloff made a motion that the Board of Health approve the alteration/modification of the existing permit for the Peapod Pick-up Program at the Mashpee Stop and Shop with the condition that the Health Agent has been satisfied with the time and temperature logs, speaking with other operating towns, and the site plan provided. Lucy Burton seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved.
6. Local Variance Request – (Well to Septic): 9 Alewife Road.
Glen Harrington commented that this will be an emergency septic upgrade. The variance will not be necessary because the 150 feet from the well will be maintained.
7. Request for 2013 Mobile Food License: Poppi’s Dogs.
Fred Jones of Poppi’s Dogs introduced himself to the Board.
Mr. Jones commented that he purchased a food cart that is currently under construction. Fred Jones was given permission by the site manager of Summerfield Park to park his cart in the lower driveway. Mr. Jones stated that the food is purchased every day, and everything bought comes prepared.
Kalliope Egloff made a motion that the Board of Health approve the 2013 Mobile Food Permit for Poppi’s Dogs, Fred Jones, subject to the pre-operation inspection by the Health Agent, mechanical refrigeration required for all potentially hazardous foods, all potentially hazardous foods to be disposed of daily, and no food preparation. Lucy Burton seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved.
