MINUTES July 5, 2001 2 BOARD OF HEALTH Mr. Santos motioned to grant a Food Establishment permit to Legal Seafoods to operate an outdoor clambake from July 1st, 2001 through August 31, 2001. Mr. Ball seconded the motion. Motion passed. 4. Variance request—39 Little Neck Lane The applicant is requesting a 4.5'variance from the leaching facility to the property line. A 5'variance from the septic tank to the property line, a 29' variance from the coastal bank, a local variance of 79'from the leaching facility to the coastal bank and a local variance of 17'to the wetland. Discussion took place among Board members regarding the need for a denitrification unit due to the close proximity to the wetland. Further discussion took place regarding the best location for the proposed sytem. Mr. Ball motioned to deny the variance requests as outlined in a cover letter from Down Cape Engineering dated June 28, 2001. Mr. Santos seconded the motion. Motion to deny passed. APPOINTMENT: Cape & Islands Engineering re: 186 Ninigret Avenue Mr. David Sanicki of Cape & Islands Engineering was in attendance for this scheduled appointment. Ms. Warden stated, "I requested David to come tonight because he's got a situation here where there is a failed system and there is standing water at 43 inches." Mr. Sanicki stated, "The system is over 100' from the wetlands, that's not the issue." "It is a failed cesspool system. The concern of Ronnie's (Ms. Warden) is that when we did the soil test there was some fill right to the groundwater. Ronnie's concern is that this is going to be a mounded system. Because of the groundwater at 43" we've taken the bottom of the system down to 4' and that puts us above grade with the bottom of the system. It's about V to the bottom of the system. We're trying to keep this shallow system 6" with a field." "But I'm respecting the groundwater 4', but now this is a mounded system with a containment structure around the exterior of it. That's going to be at elevation 74.5. So we're about 2-'/s'out of the ground here. But to respect the groundwater here, I'm putting in a tank with a pump chamber and then coming into this mounded system. That's the only way I can do this to get the 4' above the groundwater." Ms. Warden asked for clarification on various aspects of the plans. Board members discussed the plans and any possible alternatives to having a mounded system, which have rarely been approved by the Board. Mr. Ball motioned to approve the plans and variance request as outlined in a cover letter from Cape & Islands Engineering for 186 Ninigret Avenue due to the groundwater issues. Mr. Santos seconded the motion. Motion passed.
