3. Nitrogen Aggregation Plan: 78 Alma Road. Matt Costa of Cape and Islands Engineering requested an indefinite continuance for the discussion of 78 Alma Road. 4. Variance Request — Camp Regulations: Boys and Girls Club of Cape Cod. Lucy Burton remarked that J. R. Melt from the Boys and Girls Club was in attendance, but since this variance is requested yearly, the Board allowed Mr. Melt to leave without appearing before the Board. Glen Harrington commented that 120 campers are allowed to attend the Boys and Girls Club. The Board has approved this variance for 130 campers since 2009. They are now requesting a variance for 140 campers for the 4 hand washing sinks. However, a quarter of the campers go to the beach daily. There is a hand washing sink in the Staff restroom, and bottles of hand sanitizers are available. Kalliope Egloff made a motion that the Board of Health approve the request for a variance from the Sanitary Code for the Boys and Girls Club with the condition of an inspection by the Health Agent during operation, and any complaints regarding the convenience of using the bathroom facilities shall require Board of Health review of the variance. Burton Kaplan seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved. 5. Emergency Condemnation. 71 Lakeside Estates. Glen Harrington stated that 71 Lakeside Estates is a severe hoarding situation and needs to be addressed. This is a situation that must be considered a public nuisance. Mr. Harrington remarked that this unit is owner - occupied and is one of the newer units. Mr. Harrington feels the unit may not be demolished, as it can be cleaned and rehabilitated. However, Mr. Harrington is not comfortable with leaving the contents in the unit as there is an attraction for rats and animals with the potential for spread of disease. Burton Kaplan made a motion that the Board of Health approve the condemnation for Trailer #7, 71 Lakeside Estates, 300 Nathan Ellis Highway as a public health nuisance according to MGL Chapter 111 Section 122. The Board of Health and Mr. Harrington discussed a time frame and the best way to deliver the tetter for the emergency condemnation to the owner. A 30 -day notification will allow the family to clean the unit. Lucy Burton amended the motion to require that the nuisance be removed no later than 30 days from receipt of the letter for the emergency condemnation based upon it being a public health nuisance. The letter will be sent certified mail, first class mail, and the dwelling will be posted. If after the 30 days there has been no action, the Board of Health gives the Health Agent the authority to send notification to raze and remove the unit with a 7 - day time frame from receipt of that letter. Kalliope Egloff seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved. 6. NSTAR Right of Way Herbicide Spraying of Electrical Easement: Comments to Selectmen.

Renewal of Title V Design Plan Approval: 87 Surf Drive. Glen Harrington commented that the original approval for the septic plan and nitrogen aggregation plan for 87 Surf Drive was on January 11, 2012. The nitrogen aggregation plan documents have been recorded at the Registry of Deeds, but the approval for the Title V design plan, which is valid for three years, expired January, 2015.
