AGENDA
1. Concerns from the public. None noted.
2. Approval of Minutes of November 17, 2010. Minutes approved unanimously 5-0.
3. Variance Request – 5 C Street – This is an existing dwelling on an undersized lot
with a failed septic system. The owners are seeking a variance due to lack of
distance separations. The Board grants the variance request unanimously (5-0)
with utilization of an alternative technology septic system (nutrient reducing
technology).
4. Variance Request Discussion – HO Ray asks the Board to allow the following
variance requests to be granted in-house by the Health Inspector and the Assistant
Health Inspector without going in front of the Board of Health. This will eliminate
the monthly stream of minor variance requests in front of the BOH and will
facilitate timely repairs of failed septic systems. The BOH unanimously (5-0)
grants the following in-house variance requests: separation distance from well to
leach facility down to 100 feet; separation of leach facility to property line down
to 10 feet; separation of septic tank from foundation wall down to 3 feet; and
groundwater separation distances from 6 feet down to 5 feet with the utilization of
an alternative technology system when no other variances are required.
5. Announcement of Public Presentation of the Madaket Estuaries Report – HO Ray
announced that the Madaket Estuaries Report would be released to the public
during the month of January 2011 with those release dates to be determined
shortly. Notice to the public will be made at the Selectmen’s meetings.
6. HO Ray announced that this was the last formal meeting for the Nantucket
BOH/BOS as a new and separate Board of Health for the Town of Nantucket
would be appointed prior to the next regular meeting of the BOH. HO Ray
touched on the history of the Board’s activities and thanked all members of the
community who served on the Board over the years with a special thanks to
Charles “Jack” Gardner for his many years as a Board member.
