7 Cynthia Avenue-Ardello and Tammy Derochea. Their enclosed deck is situated too close to the septic system and was also constructed without a building permit. Cullity advised owners that, technically, the way to avoid an order to tear down the illegal addition was to move the septic tank. Cullity also advised owners not to move the tank during the cold months as it was very likely it would be destroyed due to the cold. Cullity said she’ll check with the ZBA and Building departments to see if other options are available to them.
Wind River-Fred Swain. Conducted a septic repair without picking up the required permit. As there have been many problems with Wind River in the past, Cullity advised Swain that one more complaint about the company would result in her reporting them to the State.
The regular meeting closed and the public hearing opened at 7:35 p.m.
Public hearing-119 Wampatuck Street-variances. Gary Wolcott from Grady Consulting appeared singly. Requested the following variances:
Reduction in system flow design from 150 gpd to 110 gpd
Reduction in system chambers location setback to property line from 10 feet to 6 feet
Reduction in system chambers location setback to cellar wall from 20 feet to 10 feet
Reduction in system septic tank location setback to water supply line from 10 feet to 3 feet
Reduction in separation between bottom of SAS and groundwater elevation from 5 feet to 4 feet
Cullty asked about parking—a geogrid on top of leaching chamber would be installed. This would suffice for a car only, not a heavy vehicle. MacInnes moved to approve the variances as presented; all in favor.
The public hearing closed and the regular meeting reopened at 7:45 p.m.
Mike Valenti, Manager Recycling and Landfill. Discussed with Board the FY10 budget, articles for April 2009 Annual Town Meeting and recycling center operations update.
MacInnes moved to adjourn at 8:45 p.m. All in favor.
Respectfully submitted,
Lisa Cullity
