Doug Karson, of the Air Force Environmental Clean-up Program at Joint Base Cape Cod, introduced himself to the Board and provided a thorough update on the clean-up efforts being provided by his agency in Mashpee including updates on the chemical and fuel spills affecting the local ponds and cranberry bogs. Mr. Karson provided maps, charts, and hand-outs to the Board and to Mr. Harrington for the Board of Health office. Progress continues to be made in the clean-up of the plumes from the Base affecting Mashpee. 7:35 PM — Mike Aucoin — Title V Variances — 31 Nick Trail. Glen Harrington stated that the variance to groundwater has been requested for 31 Nick Trail to allow the Soil Absorption System to be a little over 4' to estimated seasonal high groundwater. As there was no floor plan, the engineer inspected the interior of the house and provided a sketch on the design plan. Even though the engineer reported four existing bedrooms, the design will be held to three bedrooms since the Board of Health/Building file indicates three bedrooms. This property is located in a Zone II area where the number of bedrooms are restricted. Lucy Burton made a motion that the Board of Health approve the variances for 31 Nick Trail with the following conditions: 1. The family room that is outlined on the floor plan must have at least a six-foot wide cased opening. A Building Inspector or Board of Health Agent shall verify the opening of the room prior to issuance of the Certificate of Compliance. 2. A red flag is to be placed in GeoTMS so that no permits are issued to alter the number of bedrooms. 3. The upgrade shall occur prior to the sale of the property in accordance with the Board of Health Cesspool Regulation. 4. A deed restriction is to be placed on the property to limit the number of bedrooms to three in perpetuity. Kalliope Egloff seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved.
