Request for Rel ief from Pervious Board Vote: Wauwinet House Inn:
Letter from Robert B. Bowman requesting the the Wauwinet House be allowed
to open and operate at fifty percent occupancy "due to seasonal nature
of our business" and in order lito attempt to meet the financial
obligations incurred by the installation of (a new septic) system.'1
Health Inspector Richard Ray recommended that the request be denied on
the grounds that they had not completed the necessary work to reopen
as was mandated in September, 1912.
Mr. Bowman said he had ordered all the parts but they had not arrived on
island yet. He included a report from Camp Dresser and McGee the engineers
for the project to show he was acting in good faith. And that he was moving
a head wi t h the proj ect.
Mr. Grossman asked if one half of the system had been installen.to which
Mr. Bowman repl ied that it hadn't. Should be -in by Friday of this week.
Mr. Grossman said he \~uld agree to applying for half occupancy after half
had been initalled. It was a short season and Mr. Bowman would need to make
some sort of investment on the business. Possibly if he operating within
a certain timeframe with inspections at his expense, and has a successful
inspection on 50% of the septic system.
Health Inspector Ray agreed that Mr. Bowman could run half the hotel on
half a system, but was against granting him a permit. Fear that Mr. Bowman
could try to go to 3/4 full. Letter was too vague.
Mr. Clute was opposed to any extension. He was told as early as April 1982
to have it fixed.
Mr. Grossman moved to approve 50% occupancy subject to successful inspection
of 50% septic system by Health Inspector, weekly inspections at least -
thereafter by Health Inspector (at Mr. Bowman's expense), 30 days to get
100% of the system injtalled and approved by Health Inspector. Failure
to meet any of these \\Ould lead to immediate action by Mr. Richard Ray.
This was seconded by Jack Gardner, so voted.
Mr. Holdgate reminded Mr. Bowman that Mr. Ray would handle any violations.
Mr. Gardner said he better stick to his side of the bargain and not put the
Selectmen in a bind to which Mr. Bowman agreed.
Skip Cabot moved to adjourn the meeting at 8:00 p.m. , seconded by Jack
Gardner, so voted.
