II. Business
Markis: 129 Commercial St, failure to upgrade. Gary Locke recused himself because he discussed the project with Ms. Markis. Agent Hillary Greenberg-Lemos stated a building permit was issued which triggered the Health Department review and a letter was sent on Sept. 24, 2012 to inform Ms. Markis that the two year of the date of the issuance of the building permit had expired and she had not upgraded her septic system. Although there are no bedrooms in the new structure, it triggered the upgrade. A letter was received from Ms. Markis on Sept. 27, 2012 stating she cannot afford to upgrade at this point in time. In her letter, Ms. Markis referred to an estimate for the septic upgrade and a seawall. The building permit was issued in 2009. There is
currently a cesspool. It was recommended to allow Ms. Markis three months to submit a plan and six months for installation. Low-interest paperwork will be sent to her. Richard Willecke moved to give a three month extension to turn in plans and six months for installation; seconded by Janet Drohan; passed 3-0.
Greenstein: 70 Sunnyside Farm Way, Request extension to upgrade. Agent Greenberg-Lemos received a letter from Ms. Greenstein requesting a one month extension to install a subsurface sewage disposal system. A licensed septic installer has been contracted. Lezli Rowell moved to grant a month extension to November 29, 2012; seconded by Janet Drohan; passed 4-0.
