Title 5 Variance Request:
McLaughlin, 114 Fourth St., Assessors’ Map 40, Parcel 108
Jason Ellis of J.C. Ellis Design Company, Inc. came forward to explain the request to relocate the well on Richard McLaughlin’s property at 114 Fourth Street (Map 40, Parcel 108). In preparation for a property transfer, a septic system inspection and water quality analysis were performed. The water test results showed a Nitrate level of 5.9 mg/L. The variance request is to relocate the well within a paper road to the south of the property which will provide the greatest separation available. The Conservation Commission approved the project under a Notice of Intent filing with the condition that the well drilling be done by hand method and foot access.

Ellis Design Company, Inc. plan dated Revised January 31, 2005 and grant the variances requested in the letter from Jason Ellis for the relocation of the well subject to the conditions ordered by the Conservation Commission:
1.) The hot tub shall be located on the south east side of the house by the retaining wall.
2.) All equipment to be used for the well will be hand carried to the site as well as hand dug. There will be no vehicle access to the well location.
3.) All disturbed areas from well drilling process, truck access, etc. to be reconstructed and revegetated back to original conditions upon completion.
Lezli Rowell seconded the motion. Anne White amended the motion to include Standard Condition 3a:
3a.) The new well shall be connected and put in service under the benefit of proper plumbing and electrical permits, and well shall be tested and found potable, with results copied to the Health Department, prior to issuance of the Disposal Works Permit.
Richard Willecke seconded the motion for the amendment of 3a Standard Condition.
Passed 5-0 with amendment; original motion to approve the conditions as amended carried 5-0.
