BOARD OF HEALTH
Minutes of May 11, 1983 Meeting
The Board of Health meeting commenced after a meeting as County Commissioners
at 8:30 p.m. All members were present. Minutes of the May 4, 1983 meeting
were approved as typed and reading of the same was waived on a motion from
Skip Cabot, seconded by Jack Gardner, so voted.
Rel ief from Covenant: Norma M. Minstrell: On August 1, 1980, Norma Minstrell
at the direction of the Board of Health, signed a covenant combining in
perpetuity two adjacent lots on Tennessee Avenue in Madaket. The convenant
held that the two lots could only be subdivided thereafter "if at some future
time the lots are served by public water supply and/or sewer systems," and
then only with Planning board and Board of Health approvals.
The Health Inspector was now requesting that this convenant be lifted as
plans have been submitted to this office for two septic systems which are in
total compl iance with both Madaket Regulations and Title Five. His letter
concluded that "any further enforcement of this covenant would prolong a manifest
injustice to the owner."
Bernard Grossman asked if there were otehr lots not in compliance with Title 5.
Mr. Ray said lots were unbuildable without a variance. None that he knew of.
Jack Gardner moved to approve the lifting of the covenant, seconded by Bud
Clute, so voted.
Variance Request: Mitchell Todd Estate, A Street, Madaket: A letter from
the Health Inspector to the Board recommending the following variances:
1. Title Five - State Sanitary Code: MCR 15.03 (7) (1) Distance from well
to leach facil ity, 100 feet mandated, 75 feet available.
2. Title Five - State Sanitary Code: CMR 15.03 (7) (1) Distance from leach
field to property 1 ine, 10 feet mandated, 1 foot available.
3. Madaket Regulations - Section 1, Distance from leach facility to well,
150 feet mandated, only 75 feet available.
Mr. Ray explained that once again we are working with an undersized lot in
Madaket. With the repairs proposed, distances will be increased over those
of the failed system allowing a greater degree of environmental and
resident protection without compromising the sanitary and well facilities of
neighboring lots. He asked the Board to declare this an emeregency situation
in order that work may commence immediately as this existing system has
completing failed and may constitute an environmental hazard.
Bernard Grossman moved to accept the recommendations of the Health Inspector,
seconded by Jack Gardner, so voted.
Jack Gardner moved to adjourn as there was no further business before the
Board of Health, seconded by Kenneth Holdgate, Jr., so voted.
Meeting adjourned at 8:35 p.m.
