BOARD OF HEALTH
Minutes of February 6, 1985 Meeting
The Board of Health commenced at 7:33 p.m. with the following members
present: Chairman Bernard D. Grossman, Selectmen Charles "Jack" Gardner,
Harry "Bud" Clute, Rogers "Skip" Cabot, Nancy Sevrens and Executive
Secretary Ethan W. Aronoff. Also in attendance for discussion, Richard Ray,
Health Inspector.
Variance Request: C.W. Moores: Request for a septic that will be
addressed by Health Inspector Richard Ray. The subsurface disposal of
sanitary sewage and its impact on this site will be described. There are
well/each separation requirements imposed by the proximity of Hummock Pond
Road to be considered.
Selectmen Cabot read letter from Health Inspector regarding this request.
Mr. Ray writes, "These variances, if granted, are from 310 CMR 15.00 (Title
five) minimum requirements for the subsurface disposal of sanitary sewage:
(1) Subsection 15.03 (7) distances, which mandates a fifty-foot
separation between a leach facility and any water course
(Hummock Pond). In this instance there are only 42 feet available.
(2) Subsection 15.14 (8) reserve area, which mandates a 100% reserve
area shall be provided on the existing lot".

Comments from Mr. Ray as stated in letter, "In reviewing the submitted plot i
plan, it becomes immediately apparent that this existing dwelling is severely!
limited in septage trench placement due to existing well placements on both I
the subject lot and the abutter's lot. It should be noted that these wells
are already placed a maximum attainable distance from the subject leach
trench. In keeping the proposed leach trench 100 feet from these wells it
necessitates placing the proposed trench 42 feet from Hummock Pond instead
of the mandated 50 feet. This office discussed this situation with members
of the Conservation Commission and we have decided that this decrease in
distance is acceptable; placed closer to the pond than the present proposed
trench. This statement necessitates a second variance be granted to elevate
the need for showing a separate area for 100% expansion on the plot plan.
Both this office and the Conversation Commission feel that should this new
system eventually fail, a replacement system may be installed in the exact
location of the now proposed system following guide lines in title five
for construction in fill".

"For the noted above reasons, this office recommends granting these variances
with the below listed condition:
Neither the existing structure nor any proposed future construction on this
lot shall contain more than a total of two bedrooms".
Discussion followed, one topic brought forth from the Chairman, restrictions
on variance should be passed on with deed to the Registry. Selectmen Clute
moved to approve, seconded by Selectmen Gardner, so voted. The vote
of the board included the stipulation that the restrictions be placed on
the deeds in the Registry. Mr. Ray stated he would check with the Registry
of Deeds.
Being no further business before the Board of Health, Selectmen Clute moved
to adjourn, seconded by Selectmen Cabot, so voted. Meeting adjourned at
7:42 p.m.
