V. BOH BUSINESS
1. Food Truck Discussion
Sitting MacNab,Visco, Cooper,Weld
Documentation Supporting documents and plans, staff recommendations.
Discussion(4:50) Santamaria — The department has receive several request in addition to the Lobster Trap; the
others were denied. Lobster Trap has a large trailer that can hold sufficient grey water and potable
water. One restaurant made the same request as granted for Lobster Trap, but their truck is half
the size. He asked the board for a consistence tank size in regards to granting the variances. A set
of standards would preclude these requests from coming to BOH. If they have a sufficiently size
grey water tank, they don't have to go back and forth.
MacNab — Told Mr. Santamaria to go forward with a 55-gallon grey water capacity such as
Lobster Trap has.
Crowley—Suggested making a part of the variance that they use a refrigerator truck to move food
back and forth.
Cooper—Asked about the inspections.
Santamaria — We schedule those to catch the truck at the restaurant. Right now there is only
Lobster Trap; they are inspected on Monday before the truck goes out. He is expecting only about
10 to 12 requests this year. He'll develop a checklist.

Minutes for April 20,2017,adopted May 25
Santos—All the permits that came through were issued for conventional systems.
Crowley—In 2014,Title V required an I/A upgrade for this area. It is the owner's responsibility to
supply all pertinent information; the plan from three years ago, has no information about the
Wellhead Protection District on the plans.
Cooper—Asked if any houses in the area can construct a cottage on their lots; he doesn't want to
set precedent by granting this variance.
Santamaria—We are allowed to grant variances on a case-by-case basis. What makes this difficult
is the neighbor's application, which was permitted 10 days before this, was submitted for an I/A
system; at the bottom of that application is a note that says it is approved without an I/A system;
the as-built says conventional.
Crowley—Title V is a minimum code and, on new construction, the BOH should not be granting
variances to a minimum code.
Santos — We now know what's going on in there and from this day forward, there should be no
more conventional systems; that should inspire them to get sewer down that road. He's happy to
follow up with the State Code to see if there is a restriction that the owner needs to comply with
and that there is no conflict between the BOH and the State.
Weld—We've granted Meadowview Drive a 10 year grace period;asked if that applies to this area.
Santamaria — That grace period is Island wide for anyone who installs an I/A system. They are
part of the sewer district;it's a matter of hooking up.
Cooper—He would like to tie the variance into a date for sewer.
Santamaria — Though this is part of the sewer district, there is no plan to connect Woodland
Drive to sewer;the dry line was installed as part of the master plan not the CWMP.
Crowley — If the variance is granted, they should have a plan for the sewer; currently there is no
area plan for hooking to sewer.
Visco—Granting this could trigger other new construction in the subdivision.
MacNab —We could grant the variance with a 5-year grace period;if sewer is not in, I/A must be
installed.
Discussion about how to handle other requests from residents on the street and not exceed
nitrogen loading.
Action Motion to Grant the variance only for a 5-year time period in which to tie into sewer
starting from this date; at the conclusion of the five years, if there is no sewer, I/A system
is required. (made by: Visco) (seconded by: Weld)
Vote Carried unanimously
2. Richmond Development Bathroom Request
Sitting MacNab,Visco,Cooper,Weld
Documentation Supporting documents and plans, staff recommendations.
Discussion Santamaria—This is for retail space requiring two bathrooms. The tenant wants to have only one
bathroom.The Building Inspector has indicated it is not a problem.
Patty Roggeveen,Richmond Development—The code is for two bathrooms for every 5,000 SF.
This is a retail space for which there is a signed lease; the bathroom would be for employees only.
In their current location, there are three employees including the owner. It would be Handicapped
accessible.They have to seek a waiver from the State but that requires a letter from the BOH.
Action Motion to Approve the waiver for one bathroom. (made by: Weld) (seconded by: Cooper)
Vote Carried unanimously
