MONTEREY BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING MINUTES
Date: June 6, 2011
Present: Stephen Enoch, Peter Kolodziej, Bob Annelli and John Makuc
Also present: Mike Kulig of Berkshire Engineering and Tim Carson
The meeting began at 3:35pm
1. The minutes from 5.16.11 were approved as written.
2. Mike Kulig of Berkshire Engineering came in to discuss a proposed septic at 16 Laurel Banks. Results of the well testing were provided. The property is under agreement for a real estate transaction. The biggest concern right now is the multiple neighbors’ wells within the 100’ setback of the system. The current system has failed. Their existing well is a driven point. If the Board is ok with the concept plan, abutters will have to be notified and a hearing will need to be held. Peter stated that most of the variances could be eliminated if they installed composting toilets. The surrounding wells will need to be tested. There will be a hearing on the 11th of July at 3:30pm and Berkshire Engineering will send out the information to the
abutters regarding the hearing.
3. The Board reviewed a special permit application for 47 Old Beartown Rd. The applicants would like to put up a trailer to live in while constructing their home. The Board agreed subject to a potable water source and final inspection of the installed septic system. The alternative to installing the septic right away would be to provide the Board with a signed pumping contract for the self-contained trailer.
4. Tim Carson came in to go over a proposed mobile hot dog cart in Monterey. He has received his serv-safe certification. The Board suggested that he speak with the Building Inspector to make sure there aren’t any zoning bylaws that would prevent this or where it can be set up. It would be operational Monday – Friday 11am – 2pm and the cart would be cleaned every night. Tryon Construction has stated that his restroom facilities can be used. The cart has a hand washing station. The Board asked where the food would be stored; it needs to be a clearly marked storage area and the temperatures of where it is stored need to be recorded each day. A food service permit application was given to Tim. Once the machine is set up, Peter would do an inspection and
a permit would be issued.
5. Peter has received a few calls regarding the General Store and what uses would be allowed. Anyone interested in re-opening the store would need to submit a proposal to the Board. The biggest limitation there might be the water supply, which would need to be discussed with the private water company.
6. The Board discussed Peter’s request to be paid mileage starting July 1st now that he’s only working for Monterey and traveling from home and not Lee. The current policy for mileage is to reimburse from the Town Hall to the site and back to the Town Hall. This wasn’t appropriated for in the FY12 budget. M. Noe will look for the town’s policy on reimbursing mileage.
7. The Board will meet again on Monday, June 20th. Stephen will not be present for this meeting.
The meeting adjourned at 4:50pm
