The Meeting took place in the Selectmen's Hearing Room, Town and County Building, Nantucket, MA 02554. All the Selectmen were present with the exception of Mr. John McLaughlin. Chairman Cabot opened the meeting at 8:36 AM. Variance request for septic system. Attorney Richard Glidden requests a variance from the 40,000 square foot minimum lot size for all undeveloped lots in the Pine Valley Subdivision. The three-year exemption from the minimum lot size ends on September 24th and the developers have not yet obtained the State sewer extension permit. Thus a septic system plan would have to be approved within these remaining 5~ weeks for any lot which must be developed . before that permit is obtained. Mr. Bourgoin explained the issue of the variance request for Pine Valley. He said that Town Counsel recommends acting only on the basis of a health issue. Mrs. Sevrens asked how many have septic systems now, Mr. Glidden said there were now 21. Mrs. Sevrens asked how many were sold, Mr. Glidden said most have been sold (91 lots sold). Mr. Lanman reinforced that the decision should be made essentially on the basis of health. Mr. Ray said that the "leach trench" method would provide less nitrates. Mr. Clute moved to accept the recommendation of the Health Officer with amend- ments. The motion is to grant Pine Valley Realty Trust up to a one year extension of its exempt status after September 24, 1988 (up to September 24, 1989 or until the Trust obtains the sewer extension permit from the State) with the provision that all septic systems submitted for approval in this subdivision during this period are to be of the leach trench configuration and with the added provision that all proper ties with septic systems approved I during this period shall be connected to the sewer line within five months after the State sewer extension permit is obtained. There being no further business before the Board, Chairman Cabot adjourned the Meeting at 8:58 AM. r/ Respectfully submitted for review the /!~ i'day of August, 1988. ~~~~ Lee Bourgoin U Executive Secretary 1f.
