4' 3. Huntingest Group/Pheasant Run—Pool Violation Jane Curtis, representing the Pheasant Run Condominiums, introduced herself to the Board. Glen Harrington summarized the background of the case. On July 24, 2006 an inspection of the Pheasant Run Condominium semi-public pool was conducted by Emily Coyne, agent for the Board of Health. The pool did not contain any residual disinfectant and was posted closed. The BOH contacted Ed Morgan, Certified Pool Operator for the pool and informed him of the situation. Mr. Morgan stated that chlorine was added to the pool and the check valve and filters on the chlorinator were replaced. On July 25"', a reinspection of the pool was performed by the BOH. The following violations were noted: (1) the free chlorine level was less than the required 1.0" level (2) tests for residual disinfectant are required four times per day. According to log sheets contained in the log book, tests are being performed once daily (3) the required first aid equipment kit was incomplete (4) the bottom of the pool was not clearly visible from the surface area, violating the Water Clarity requirement (5) Both sets of stairs leading into the pool do not have handrails. This is in Violation of the State Sanitary Code which states that a minimum of one ladder shall be provided for each 75 feet of swimming pool perimeter and not less than two such devices shall be provided at any pool. Both sets of stairs leading into the pool do not have handrails. Lucy Burton made a motion that if any violations are found during the 2007 Huntingest Group pool season, a $100 fine will be levied to the Condominium Management Association. Steven Ball seconded the motion. All approved. 4. Steven D'Angelo—8 Sand Dollar Lane—Title V Variance Request Robert Martin introduced himself to the Board, representing Steven D'Angelo, the property owner. Glen Harrington gave the following background. This was a Title V transfer inspection which indicated that the first component to the septic system is a cesspool acting as a septic tank. Our local BOH inspection regulation says that the initial cesspool fails. Otherwise, the system would pass a straight Title V inspection. The leaching pit with one or two feet of stone around it has had no more than one foot of liquid in the pit. Glen Harrington stated that he met with the prospective buyers of the property. One option available to them is to request a variance from our BOH regulation so that a septic tank could replace the initial cesspool. The leaching pit was installed in 1978 which makes it in compliance with Title V code at that time. Glen Harrington's recommendation was that they install a 1500 gallon H-20 tank with a Distribution Box(D-Box). The leaching pit is not under the driveway. Lucy Burton made a motion that the BOH grant a Title V variance request to add a 1500 gallon H-10 septic tank where the first leaching pit is located, with a D-Box added. Steven Ball seconded the motion. All approved. 5. Dunkin Donuts—Food Violation. Selma Reynolds, District Manager for Dunkin Donuts, introduced herself to the Board. Glen Harrington stated that on Saturday, August 19"', 2006, Dunkin Donuts personnel were observed offering food and beverages for sale at the"Rising Tides Arts Festival"held at Heritage Park, Route 130, in Mashpee. Dunkin Donuts had failed to obtain a temporary food permit from the BOH. Selma Reynolds stated that she was sorry for the oversight on the part of Dunkin Donuts to obtain the temporary food permit. Dunkin Donuts has since paid the temporary food permit fee. Lucy Burton made a motion to fine Dunkin Donuts$50(two times the permit fee)for applying for the temporary food permit after the fact. Steven Ball seconded the motion. All approved. 2
