I Mrs. Sevrens moved approval of the ~1inu tes of Wednesday, February 17, 1988 at
!7:30 p.m. Seconded by Mr. Clute. So voted.
Mr. Richard Ray, the Health Inspector, submitted his nomination form to be app-
ointed Animal Inspector for the Town of Nantucket. It was stated that the Ani-
:mal Inspector records the census, makes sure the animals are properly cared for,
etc. Mr. Clute moved approval of said appointment; seconded by Mr. Gardner. So
voted.
Mr. Ray brought before the Board a proposed 100 foot Sewer Septic Health regul-
ation to be approved and adopted, this regulation dealt with sewers being placed
as far back as possible and the house will be limited to three bedrooms. Mr. Ra
mentioned that there was a per ulation test done geared toward the maximum "wet
time" of the year but the perrenial rainfall proved that there was no one time
of year that was the wettest. It was decided that the sewer must be placed 5
feet below the perculation line at the wettest point. The sewer permit expir-
ation time has been changed from two years to one because the island ecology
(geography) changes so drastically. Larger systems must be installed now due
to heavier sewage flow from an increase in the number of bedrooms. Mr. McLaugh-
lin inquired as to whether a Public Hearing was necessary to pass said regulatio
Mr. Ray replied no, and that all was in accordance with the General Laws of the
Comnonwealth of Massachuset ts . Mr. Gardner moved approval of said regulation;
seconded by Mr. Clute. So voted.
Mr. Gardner moved approval of a subdivision inspection and plot plan reVlew on
Eel Point Road, which was brought before the Board; Seconded by Mr. Clute. So
voted.

ourned the Meeting at 7:54 p.m.
