Revisit failed septic system 39 Popponesset Island Road - Mr. McQuaid stated, "This was before the Board on several occasions." "The Board denied preliminary plans based on the fact that the Board requested a denitrification unit." "Subsequently, the applicant submitted a letter to the Board indicating from his point of view a hardship with the installation of a denitrification unit." "I put this before you again for you to reconsider based on one single fact." "I was out there again with Mr. Bortolotti to certify it in failure a second time." "I would like the Board to reconsider their decision based on the fact that this is only going to be used seasonally, at most 8 weeks per year." "The denitrification aspect of a denit. system really doesn't kick in for six to eight weeks." "The applicant has already gone through the expense of an engineer." Mr. Doherty stated, "If the owner were to sell the property it would become a full time residence." "I do understand that if it's not used continually the benefits derived from the system are lost." Mr. McQuaid stated, "The owner has gone through the expense of an engineer." "He is not increasing habitable space, the system is in failure."
