Minutes of March 11 1981
The Meeting of the Board of Health was called to order by Chairman Kenneth W.
Holdgate, Jr., at 7:45 p.m. Board Members present: Mr. Roger Young, Mr.
Jack Gardner, Mr. Walter Knott and Mr. Donald Oliver.
Upon motion made by Mr. Young and seconded by Mr. Knott, it was voted 4-0
to accept the Minutes of the Meeting of March 4th as typed and waive the
reading thereof.
HUMMOCK POND FARMS SUBDIVISION was presented for approval. After discussion,
a motion was made by Mr. Knott to accept the plan as conditioned by Mr. Ray,
Mr. Gardner seconded, so voted 4-0, accordingly:
Lots 1 through 9, 13, 14, 22, and 24 through 36 are acceptable for
septic system design, and offer no health hazards to the surrounding areas.
Lots 10 through 12, 15 through 21 and 23 are acceptable for septic
system design incorporating the stipulation that all clay shall be removed
from around the leach facility for a distance of ten feet and replaced
with clean fill.
Mr. Ray noted for the record that as of Saturday he would be gone on a two
week vacation.
Mr. Gardner stated that as the Board of Health, the permits could be signed
by the Board, but that an engineer was needed to inspect. t1r. Holdgate stated
that when the Town was between Health Inspectors, an engineer was hired to
do the inspections. Mr. Oliver questioned the dependency on one person for
the inspections and was there anyone available in the Town employ that could
handle the inspections.
Mr. Visco suggested that Mr. Chaleki being an engineer could handle the
inspections while Mr. Ray was away. Mr. Ray noted that Mr. Chaleki could
do the inspections, however, he case load was very heavy at this time and
Mr. Ray was in the position of even suggesting such a thing.
Mr. Young asked if a perk test had to be done by a registered engineer. Mr
Oliver stated that the point he was trying to make was if sombody needs
him (Mr. Ray), we should not be at a standstill in his absence. Mr. Visco
stated that perhaps Mr. Ray does not like to see anybody else sign the
permit. Mr. Ray stated that there could be problems with small lots, in-
fringement problems and in developments, but at this point he did not an-
ticipate problems while he was gone.
There being no further business before the Board, a motion was made by
Mr. Knott, seconded by Mr. Oliver, so voted 4-0 to adjourn at 7:54 p.m.
