Re: Variance request from the Madaket Regulations
Dear Board members,
Please find enclosed correspondence from Arthur Gasbarro of
Blackwell & Associates requesting waivers from sections 51.02, A 8s B,
Distances of the Town of Nantucket Board of Health Regulations
Affecting, Madaket.
• The property- in question is outside the Madaket Harbor Protection
District and contains a garage and a single family dwelling serviced by a
currently failing system.
As is noted on the enclosed plans, over 90% of the property is
unusable for septic system design due to placement of abutter's wells. In
noting the previous, the only appropriate location for the leach facility is
in the south west corner of the property abutting Hampshire Avenue.
Thusly, distance waivers are required for placement of the leach facility
closer to the roadway while maintaining a maximum distance away from
abutters wells. Also, the owners of the property will be installing and
alternative design system for nitrogen reduction.
Recommendation:
This Office recommends granting the above noted variance with the
stipulation that a maintenance agreement for the alternative design
system be provided to the Health Department annually for the life of
the system.

Re: Variance request from Title Five — 63 Wanoma Way
Dear Board Members,
Please fine enclosed correspondence from Blackwell & Associates requesting waivers
from denoted sections of The State Environmental Code — Title Five.
The property in question is located in Tom Nevers and encompasses substantial areas of
barrier beach. Currently, the property contains an existing 4 bedroom dwelling with a
non code compliant septic system.
In seeking a repair to this system, the proponents are proposing to install an
alternative /innovative system in order to receive the approvable 50% reduction in leach
facility sizing to offer minimal impact on the existing primary dune on the property.
Even with the 50 % reduction in leach facility size, the system encroaches upon sideline
setbacks due to abutters well placements and the primary dune which will be 85 feet from
the leach facility instead of the required 100 feet.
RECOMMENDATION
This office recommends granting the above noted variance with the following
provision(s).
1. The property owners will be required to furnish this Department with a signed
maintenance agreement prior to the occupancy of the residence. Said agreement
shall remain in agreement for the life of the system.
