MONTEREY BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING MINUTES
Date: January 8, 2007
Present: John Makuc, Robert Annelli, Peter Kolodziej, and Stephen Enoch
The meeting began at 3:40pm
· Leigh Tryon came in to appeal a fine incurred from installing a septic on Griswald Rd without the proper permits. After further investigation it should b noted that the designer was also at fault as they never submitted the fee with the application and plans. The board voted to retract the fine and will send him a letter to that effect. The board also needs to look into whether or not there should be a violation letter sent to the designer or the owner for not submitting the proper paperwork to begin with. A letter will be sent to Kelly Granger and Parsons and the owner as well.
· The plans for a new septic on Lake Ave for Mr. Gralla were reviewed and the easement issues were discussed. After looking at the plans, R. Annelli realized that he is an abutter to this property and recused himself to avoid any conflict of interest. The board will send a letter asking for a copy of the deed to confirm there aren’t any deed restrictions that would impact this system. The letter should also mention that a building permit will need to be retained for any retaining walls to be constructed.
· The minutes from 11/20/06 and 12/4/06 were approved as written.
· The situation at Heron Pond was discussed and whether it is a public safety issue or not, right now it is not but if it is not maintained it could potentially become one. P. Kolodziej spoke with M. Forbes, the Highway Superintendent about this as well and they both agreed that the homeowner should install a water flow level device. The board will send a request to the homeowner and to M. Forbes to attend the next meeting to discuss the situations.
· Using Berkshire VNA vs LEE VNA was discussed with the upcoming budget requests. Lee VNA will be contacted to attend our next meeting and give a proposal. Berkshire VNA will also be contacted to attend the following meeting.
· M. Noe let the board know that starting on 1/22 classes start up again and she will need to leave the meetings on Mondays no later than 5pm.
· The Inn on Art School Rd situation was discussed. One of the owners contacted P.Kolodziej this morning and told her what is needed for approval to operate a B&B and she was directed to D. Torrico.
The meeting adjourned at 5:15pm
