-13- Pauline: Can I go back in history for a minute? That area, Daniels Island, is all fill and we questioned what was under there -- whether there is bog under there. Be- cause that Island was a complete island at one time. We were questioning whether or not that fill which was put in would filter through. Mr. Benway: I know this area. This is .not fill. Nobody could afford fill then. The only fill on the Island is that portion to the left where Wiseman's built a garage. Atty. Boyd: (Reads Barbara's question to Mr. Hannigan on page 2 of January 9, 1980's minutes "My question is with this septic system that you are going to put in, how far are you from this water?" and Mr. Hennigan's replies: "We will be within 60 feet or 50 feet." If you are within 50, are you within the limits? Pauline: No. The Wetlands Act, Chapter 131, Section 40, says anything being built within 100 feet has to come to the Conservation Commission and that is whyyouu.are here. And this is part of it. It is less than 40 feet on the original plan. Barbara: I questioned it because he didn't show water on his plan on the other side of Daniels Island. Pauline: He didn't show any marsh. Barbara: And I wanted to make sure that you were all aware that there is definitely tidal waters. Mrs. Sanchez: How do we proceed now? Who does the staking? Pauline: You do. Then you file a Notice of Intent. Mrs. Sanchez: And then you people will approve the stakes and we will submit a new drawing and then we should be all right. .Pauline: Gives the Sanchez 's a form to file and tells them to make sure it is all sent certified mail and send a $25 check to the town when filing Notice of Intent. Mrs. Sanchez: And should we come back again and have another meeting? Pauline: I will notify you when we have the hearing. As soon as I receive the Notice of Intent, certified mail, within so many days I have to set up a hearing. Then we will take it from there and will issue an Order of Conditions. Mr. Benway: I would like to do this if it is agreeable for both parties so that we know we are headed in the right direction. After these proposed locations for the leaching fields or diffusers is located and staked, then Pauline or somebody from the Conservation come down and say this is okay and we will just make a note of that and send it to the Sanchez's so that they know they are on the right track. Mrs. Sanchez: Could you do that and then we will go ahead with the drawings? Mr. Sanchez: Because up to now we have been confused by the whole thing. Mrs. Sanchez: We didn't really understand it. Wayne: What it boils down to is that the board cannot design the system. We have to take explicitly what is presented to us and that is why the denial was made.
