MONTEREY BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING MINUTES
Date: August 20, 2007
Present: Stephen Enoch, John Makuc, Peter Kolodziej and Robert Annelli
The meeting began at 3:45pm
1. The minutes from 8.6.07 were approved as written.
2. Mail was reviewed.
3. Plans for 51 North Cove Rd were reviewed; Board of Health needed more information (floor plans) since a bedroom was being added. The addition would bring them to a total of 5 bedrooms and the capacity of the septic tank is 660. The board would need to see plans for the downstairs when they apply for that permit to see that it would not be used as a bedroom. The board approved the plans as submitted.
4. Carlson Builders came in to present plans for construction at 525 Main Rd. An existing house is being torn down; the existing septic was put in by Tryon Construction a few years ago. The tank and chamber system need to be moved and the Building Inspector needs approval from the Board of Health. Tryon Construction will need to submit a septic repair application and fee to the Board of Health.
5. Lou from SoilTech came in to discuss a septic repair at 29 Broderick Rd. The house will remain 3 bedrooms and the proposed project will require a special permit from the Board of Appeals. Peter Kolodziej stated that this may be construed as new construction and not a repair since a whole new house is being built. The previous variances that were applied for by another engineer were reviewed.
6. The massage permit application for Kevin Parsons of 3 Pine Street was approved and a permit will be issued. Peter Kolodziej mentioned that the town doesn’t currently have any regulations for massage establishments and this may not be necessary unless a spa were to open in Monterey. Mr. Parsons was advised to keep in regular contact with the state. After June 2008 the licensing will be issued from the state, towns will no longer issue massage licenses. Mr. Parsons was advised to speak with the Building Commissioner to make sure he’s not violating any zoning issues by performing this service out of his home.
7. The incident that occurred last week concerning a local septic installer performing and installation at 90 Blue Hill Rd without the proper permits was discussed. The installer paid the fine ($200) last week. The board will send a letter to the installer advising them of the consequences of future violations.
8. John Makuc updated the board on his meeting with the Board of Selectman concerning the ACO procedures. The Select Board thought that rabid animals the police department would respond to as time would be of the essence in putting the animal down before any other animals or humans came into contact with it however the ACO would need to handle the paperwork that goes along with a rabid animal. The police would also handle any deceased animals in the road. Animal complaints (i.e. viscous dogs (police would assist), dog bites, nuisance dogs) would need to be handled by the ACO. A pager through County Dispatch could be given to the ACO and any calls that come in could be paged out to her and the Police Department simultaneously and then she would need to call into
dispatch to acknowledge the call. The ACO would need to call dispatch back within 15 minutes or they would repage, if no answer then, the police would respond to the call. The Select Board felt that all calls need to be responded to within 8 hours except dog bites that need to be responded to immediately. The Board of Health agreed that there may be too many contact options for the ACO right now and that a standard operating procedure needs to be created and followed. John Makuc will contact the ACO to review what was discussed and get her input.
9. The next regularly scheduled meeting falls on a holiday and will be reschedule to the 10th of September.
10. EDS site plan details were discussed.
The meeting adjourned at 6:00pm
