BOARD OF HEALTH
MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF DECEMBER 19, 1973
AMERICAN LEISURE CORPORATION
American Leisure Corp. submitted supplemental documents on their
proposed subdivision at Hummock Pond. Inspector of Health Purdy
informed the Board that the additional material did not contain
anything that had not been sent before and that it would be necessary
to have more information on percolation tests and staking.
TRISTAM'S LANDING - ANGELASTRO
Attorney Tillotson spoke to the Board regarding the previously-
requested variance for Michael Angelastro. He informed the Board
that a Quit Claim Deed was delivered to him on October 5, 1973
showing Mr. Angelastro to be the owner of the property. This had
not previously been recorded and the Board did not have verificatidn
of ownership, but recording had been accomplished 12/19/73.
Selectman Lowell brought out the fact that the regulations for
Madaket were established on September 15, 1973, prior to sale of
the property in question. Atty. Tillotson then commented that he
felt it was too restrictive and did not allow a person to build on
a 20,000 foot lot. He brought up the Whitman and Howard report,
stating that he felt the density of Madaket would not reach the
proportions where there would be problems. Chairman Haley said
the Board could not be certain that, in the future, present summer
residents would not decide to occupy homes year-round. Atty.
Tillotson stated that rearranging the lots would produce quite an
inconvenience to Mr. Perry and that the Board could expect other
property owners who had not built in the 4-year-period from date
of purchase to apply for variances, since different regulations
were in effect when they bought. The Board felt Mr. Perry should
give serious thought to re-subdividing so the lots would comply
with the necessary dimensions. Selectman Gardner commented that
a study is being made of the Long Pond area and he felt no varianc
should be given until this study is available. Selectman Lowell
thought a point in Mr. Tillotson's letter should be cleared up--
namely, that it might imply that there was some agreement reached
when the Board met in Boston with Mr. Anderson, Mr. Tillotson
readily agreed that no agreement had been made and apologized for i
the impression the letter gave. Mr. Small brought out the fact l
that not only was the Whitman and Howard report taken into conside~-
ation in making the Madaket regulations, but that consultation hadl
been made with state geologist Joseph Sinnott, Paul Anderson, who !
was District Sanitary Engineer, and Roland Dusseault, current i
District Sanitary Engineer. Atty. Tillotson asked for an extensioJ
of time to present additional comments on the Whitman and Howard I
report and Board agreed to this. Selectman Lowell said that he I
felt no definite date should be set for decision, that this shouldj
be taken under advisement indefinitely because it would affect I
many other people who might request a variance, also noting that t'
the Board did not wish to consider Mr. Angelastro's request lightl
without all the facts. It was moved and seconded to take this
under advisement for an indefinite time.
