Discussion:
Jeffrey Stewart of the ZBA stated he will be the Chair for the WHAT new application before the ZBA. Due to resignations, there are new people on the Board. He stated the existing ZBA case (#04-18) will be withdrawn without prejudice and a new application will be submitted. He wanted to discuss current outstanding issues the BOH may have with WHAT. Stewart stated the guidelines from the Cape Cod Commission state all local Boards should review the application and work together for compliance. A draft letter was prepared for the ZBA with requirements from the Board of Health. Rowell Moved to endorse the letter; Seconded by Granlund; Passed 4-0.

Lezli Rowell Moved to approve meeting minutes of April 27 with amendments; Seconded by Anne White; Passed 4-0.
Anne White asked if there were any money to stipend the cost of paper and print cartridges. Agent Greenberg stated she would check into the budget. Christine Bates stated she would make every effort to have copies enclosed with the meeting packages.
Discussion:
Transfer Station Price Increases: Willecke reported the BOH will have the responsibility to review the pricing each year before June (per local Board of Health Regulation 1005.1). He recommends the fees to remain as voted on by the Selectmen for this year, and ask the DPW to come before the Board the first meeting in May 2006. Rowell stated she had received a complaint regarding the recycling bins in Town buildings and would encourage the DPW to make sure bins are the appropriate size and utility for each building. Agent Greenberg reported the brush fee was eliminated at the Selectmen’s meeting.
Goss Road Subdivision (Assessors map 36, Lots 15, 16, 17 and 17.1): Agent Greenberg stated the Planning Board would like to have the BOH review the plans and make any recommendations regarding the subdivision. She questioned why a cluster septic system was not going to be used and Willecke stated it doesn’t happen often in Wellfleet. After reviewing the plan, Rowell stated the plan does not identify available well and septic siting areas as usually presented to the BOH, but there appeared adequate area on the lots to be created over an acre.
Rowell Moved for approval of the Slade and Associates preliminary subdivision plans dated 02/17/05 for Henry Goss Cortes of Goss Road, to be forwarded to the Planning Board; Seconded by Willecke; Passed 4-0.

Correspondence:
White Water Inc. letter to DEP-SERO, Mike Quink, re: Corrosion Control Update for Coles Neck Water Supply, dated 1/13/05. The Water Commissioners are to address the issue. Granlund wanted to know how much water is discharged to Bakers Field on a daily basis. Rowell stated the area is not appropriate because there of underlying peat soils, and the likelihood of stagnant ponding and mosquito proliferation in a recreation area used extensively for children’s programs. Granlund suggested changing the price structure for water system hook-ups to allow for a large volume, restaurant user at the end of the line, rather than the wasteful discharge of potable water onto non-leaching soils. Agent Greenberg to report back to the Board.
Letter from the Planning Board to review the Cortez subdivision.
Enforcement letter from Greenberg to Lundberg’s, plus a response from Lundberg.
Enforcement letter from Greenberg to Stan Kugel.
A copy of a fax regarding a house lifting proposal for Audrey Danforth.
Copy of letter from Virginia Crossman to Agent Greenberg (requesting an extension)
Rowell commended the Agent for picking up enforcement cases which had been previously difficult to track.
MISC
Hillary reported Sue Rask of Barnstable County inquired if Wellfleet wanted to participate in the I/A Treatment data program. Rowell Moved to have Agent Greenberg respond on behalf of the Board we are interested in participating. It was determined a new regulation would have to be put in place. A legal notice will be placed in the newspaper (2 times) for a public hearing scheduled for June 22, 2005.
Rowell recommends the BOH start a program of phasing out old cesspools, based on real estate transfers dating back to the revised Title 5 effective date, and cross-referencing with Assessors records. Agent Greenberg agreed it would first take a trigger regulation and stated that the winter months would be the best time to review search results and start making notifications. Agent Greenberg to check with other towns on their process.
Chair Willecke Moved to adjourn at 7:42; Seconded by Granlund; Passed 4-0.
Respectfully submitted,
Christine Bates
Committee Secretary
