Road. Ms. Coombs read a memo from Health Inspector Ray dated May
18, 1990 recommending denial of the variance sought from section
15.03(7): Distance. Mr. John Shugrue said if the well was moved to
the northwest as suggested by Mr. Ray, it would put it in the same
area as the old system. He stated that the house is limited to two
bedrooms and that the Conservation Commission had stated that the
proposed location was the only place it could be located. Mr. Ray
explained where he thought the system should go. Mrs. Sevrens
stated that this application was for replacement of a failed
system. After some discussion regarding location of the present
well and wetlands boundaries, Mr. Borchert said the Board of Health
should take no action until the applicant provides all information
on the existing septic system's location. The Board generally
agreed with Mr. Borchert.

requests. Noting that the property owners properly obtained a
septic system installation permit and unintentionally allowed it to
expire, Mr. Viera moved to grant the variance as recommended by Mr.
Ray. Seconded by Ms. Coombs. So voted. Mr. Ray suggested that
there could be a blanket variance granted for Teasdale Circle
residents. Ms. Coombs moved to grant a blanket variance for
Teasdale Circle residents from the above-mentioned Board of Health
regulation with the stipulation of a six-month deadline, until
November 23, 1990, for obtaining the septic system installation
permits which were unintentionally allowed to expire; and to direct
Mr. Ray to notify all Teasdale Circle residents concerned. Seconded

for septic system design, with the understanding that all septic
, systems should be located a maximum distance from Polpis Harbor and
its associated Wetlands. Mr. Ray said that the lots meet the
zoning requirements and are restricted on the design and placement
of the septic because of the wetlands. Mr. Ray explained that this
was a preliminary recommendation to the Planning Board. A
discussion ensued regarding perc tests. The Board generally agreed

that it would be a good idea to have an independent witness present
when these tests take place; Chairman Grossman suggested that Mr.

recommendation to the Planning Board as outlined in his memo of May
