Public Comments
There
were none.
Old Business
4 Garfield Road - Variance Request
Alan
Cabral from Felco Engineering presented the case to the BoH. The plan proposes moving the leach area and
tank further within the lot lines and doing this will allow for the continued
use and enjoyment of the easement walkway which will be replaced. The reduction in the leach area allows the
installer to restore the walkway – more or less – to the way it was.
An
abutter, Eric Mitkus, was very pleased with the proposed plan and restoration
of the walkway. He further explained
the roughly drawn floor plan that was presented is for the 1st floor
only. There are 2 more bedrooms on the 2nd floor.
Motion:
Duane Gregory made a motion to approve job no. 03031 dated May 28, 2004
for 4 Garfield Road with the condition that the Health Agent verify that the
property has 3 bedrooms. Also a deed
restriction has to be recorded for 3 bedrooms once that number has been
established. Ken Janson seconded the
motion and it was approved 5-0-0.
New Business
Scott Barry - New Tattoo Artist Permit
The
Health Inspector says most of the paper work is in order but he still needs a
copy of his CPR certification and a negative TB test. The applicant said he is licensed with three other towns in the
state. It was suggested that he get his
last CPR certification and fax it to Pat; then the only test he needs to have
is a negative TB test. He plans on having the test done wherever his permanent
home is.
Motion:
Cynthia Gast made a motion to approve the permit provided he give the
Health Inspector his CPR certification and his negative TB test. Ken Janson seconded the motion and it passed
5-0-0.
Joanna Riggaro - New Massage Therapist License
She
will be practicing at 132 Commercial St. She is nationally certified in cosmetology and all her appropriate
paper work has been filed.
Motion:
Duane Gregory made a motion to approve the license; Cynthia Gast
seconded the motion and it was approved 5-0-0.
226A Bradford Street - Plan Review
Motion: Mark Baker made a motion to take this case out of order since their architect hadn’t shown up. Ken Janson seconded the motion and it was passed 5-0-0.
20 Aunt Sukeys Way - Variance Request
Alan Cabral presented the plan to the BoH. During conversation with the Board it was thought that another location on the property would be a more economical place to site the system due to the proximity to a wetland and the BoH’s most likely desire to see an enhanced de-nitrification system used. Because of this, Alan decided to withdraw the plan without prejudice and reschedule after he discusses the issues with his clients.
226A Bradford Street
- Plan Review
Neal
Kimball, the architect, arrived and presented the proposal to the Board. Eventually the owner, Pat Patrick, would
like to demolish the existing structure at this location and build a new
one. Ideally he would like to construct
a new larger home on this site. Jane
Evans Raasch did a walkthrough and made the following determination. The main residence on the property has five
existing bedrooms and a garage on the property has a one-bedroom residence over
it. The cost of construction will
exceed $50K and increase the space greater than 50 square feet, thus both
septic systems must be upgraded to Title 5’s.
The owner wishes to end up with a three bedroom dwelling so he must be
able to fit an eight-bedroom septic system on the property without any
variances.
The
construction plan will have a phase 1 and phase 2 stage. Mark Baker told the Patricks that he
appreciated having them come before the BoH so the Board can more easily
understand the project as it unfolds.
Motion:
Duane Gregory made a motion to allow the Health Agent to sign off on the
building permit for 226A Bradford Street (8 bedrooms) provided a non-varianced
septic system is installed before a COO is issued. Dan Brown seconded the motion and it carried 5-0-0.
15 Creek Round Hill Road - Variance Request
Gary
Locke, a surveyor who works for
William Rogers, II, told the Board that the owners, David and Anita Butler,
have received ZBA approval for a brand new house on this property. They want to build a 2-bedroom house with a
septic system of 2K gallons. The owners
also own the abutting lot, #13 Creek Round Hill Road, and they are proposing
moving the lot lines so that a Title 5 can be installed without requiring
variances.
Motion:
Mark Baker made a motion to approve the Title 5 for 15 Creek Round Hill
Road (P-04-1807) with the following conditions:
1.
A deed restriction limiting
the number of bedrooms on the property to two (2) must be recorded.
2.
Prior to the issuance of the
septic system permit, a signed maintenance agreement for the fast system that
meets all Title 5 requirements must be provided to the Health Agent.
3.
The 40 ml poly liner must
extend around the entire soil absorption system.
4.
The proposed lot line must
be finalized before the issuance of septic installation permit.
Ken Janson seconded it and
it was approved 5-0-0.
A mini discussion was held regarding the 50’ setback required. Duane felt that maybe the BoH regs should be changed to read – ruling is firm unless it’s adjacent to a wetland.
Approval of Minutes
for June 10, 2004
One
change was noted – that CG will not be present on July 8.
Motion:
Cynthia Gast made a motion to approve the minutes with the one
correction. Ken Janson seconded the
motion and it passed 4-0-1 ab (DB)
Any other business that shall properly come before the Board
Mark
Baker said a publication called the MAHB/MA Association of Health Boards was
very interesting to read. He continued
that if the town does have a special town meeting in the Fall, that he feels
the BoH should ask for a change in the
charter as previously discussed.
Jane will look into procedures for accomplishing this.
William Rogers II’s
subdivision proposal was given to the BoH as a heads up.
It refers to the property adjacent to his home.
There
is purported to be $14K in surplus
county funds awarded to the Town and the BoH wondered where it is
going? Maybe ConCom assistance?
The Transfer station ad appeared regarding closing hours.
Health Agent’s and Health Inspector’s Reports
Strangeways (record shop) at
289 Commercial Street has had a sewerage spill. It
was reported to the HA and sewerage was found to be filling up the basement. Jane thinks they were a blue-dot mandatory
hookup to the sewer. She will check and
then follow-through with solution.
Pat
Pajaron gave a rabies update on the
Cape. There have been 22 confirmed
cases on Cape of rabies in raccoons.
The latest one was in Osterville.
Pat will be putting through public information to warn owners of
domestic animals to have them receive updated shots and to not take in strays.
The town also suggests we want to get rid of the no-leash law. Pat feels
rabies will come here since the state’s bait program has ended.
Ms. Pajaron did a routine inspection at Burger Mary’s and - besides the food code violations – she found mattresses on the 2nd floor in a windowless room. The owner when questioned said the wall-to-wall mattresses on the floor were for his workers when they go on breaks. It was deemed to be a habitable area which is not allowed; Pat will be checking on the removal of the mattresses.

Baker will not be here on September 23rd.
