MINUTES March 17, 1999 5 BOARD OF HEALTH permits have expired and forcing you to expend additional funds in order to re- design them, especially if nothing is going to change. I don't believe anything substantial has changed. The basis for my opinion is that you've been, in good faith, actively working on it and that some delays came up that were unforeseeable and I'm not going to penalize you for that." Mr. Cram stated, "In looking at the footnote at the bottom of the application, it says that we must wait for proof of tax payments. Has that been satisfied?" Mr. Grotzke responded, "Yes, since Icahn took over he paid all of the income taxes to the town. All of the company's taxes have been paid." Mr. Cram stated, "Well need proof of that." Mr. Grotzke added, "Okay. We had done the peres on these between March 14-28, 1998. It was before then that we had sent our contractor in to pull the permit and I sent him in with the check for $1400. That was when, during Elias'review prior to signing off, he determined that there were some discrepancies in the septic system design. At that time we entered into a dialogue and Elias said we could have some more time. We had that resolved and the contractor came in and signed for the permits and that was where there was no check associated with those permits. I confirmed that with the contractor. He didn't pay for the permits." Mr. McQuaid stated, "On March 19, 1998 we granted a 60-day extension on the perc tests from that date. Which means that everything would stay valid, but the permits would have had to be issued within those 60 days. The permits were signed for by the installer, but never paid for. Therefore, none of the permits have actually been issued. I hear what Mr. Doherty is saying and I'm certainly not going to object to what the Board decides to do. I think this is at the end of a long struggle and let's just get the check in and issue the permits. Otherwise he's going to have to start from scratch which means a whole new design." Mr. Doherty motioned to grant a 30-day extension of the perc tests on the following lots: 55 Uncle Edward's Road, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 14, 15, 16, and 20 Aunt Jane's Road, pending receipt of the required fees due. Mr. Ball seconded the motion, all agreed. Mr. Grotzke then asked the Board for a few minutes of their time for a discussion of preliminary plans regarding the Popponesset Inn. Mr. Grozke informed the Board members of the current status of the Popponesset Inn. Mr. Cram expressed his concern with the revision of the plans since the Board last met to review the project. Mr. McQuaid express concern regarding using the existing leaching facility since it is known to be not working properly.
