A <br /> five-foot strip-out is required to keep the Soil Absorption System within 3 feet of grade. The plan was reviewed, <br /> and some technical comments were made. <br /> Jack Landers-Cauley, P.E., representing 161 Timberlane Drive, introduced himself to the Board. <br /> Mr. Landers-Cauley commented that he appeared before the Conservation Commission about 20 minutes <br /> before this meeting. The Conservation Commission requested that they continue because of mitigation issues <br /> not septic. Because of local Board of Health regulations Mr. Landers-Cauley is requesting three variances and <br /> is proposing an Innovative Alternative septic system. There will be a reduction in nitrogen as well as a <br /> reduction in virus and bacteria. <br /> Mr. Harrington stated that the property is not located in a Zone II, so there are no restrictions regarding <br /> nitrogen loading: Mr. Harrington did suggest that the blower be relocated closer to the garage or underground <br /> in order to avoid the noise complaints from the neighbors. <br /> Brian Baumgaertel had two comments: <br /> 1. Place the vent on each end of the leach field. <br /> 2. The alarm panel for the Innovative Alternative system be placed on the exterior of the dwelling for <br /> service. <br /> Mr. Landers-Cauley reiterated the Board's requests of moving the blower closer to the house, add a second <br /> vent, and depict the alarm on the plan. <br /> Mallory Langler made a motion that the.Board of Health approve the septic plans for 161 Timberlane Drive with <br /> the following conditions for variances: <br /> 1. Sampling requirements for Total Nitrogen quarterly for two years. <br /> 1 <br />
