Yells Fargo failed to provide written notice of responsibility t the buyer. A septic inspection was only ordered due to the new owner's request for a building permit to put up a barn. A septic inspection performed on 8/04/10 determined that a septic tank and ]each pit serviced the dwelling. The septic tank is older than 30 years and has been replaced. The leach pit passed inspection. It was assured that the property was serviced by a cesspool for the purposes f the transfer so the new owner had an engineered design plan dram for a new septic which in the end was not needed. It is obvious that both the property owner and the bank were not properly represented due to the local BOH regulation hawing been ignored. The buyer stated that she did not receive anything in writing from the bank stating her responsibility to upgrade the septic system, only that the property was sold "as-is". Burton Caplan made a motion that the Board of Health fine Wells Fargo Bank $500.00 for failure t wide by the BOH septic regulations in the transfer of ownership of 39 L vell's Lane. Lucy Burton seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved. 7:30 PM — Ed Pe ce —Title V Variances:: 4 East Road Mr. Pesche, of Pes a Engineering &Associates: Inc., introduced himself to the Board. Glen Harrington commented that the property known as the Holiday House, a -unit apartment building located at 34 East Fad, is in the process of being sold. The septic inspection indicated that the existing leach pits did not have the four-foot requirement to groundwater, so the system failed the inspection. As the proposed SAS cannot stay within the required 1 -fit. setback, a Pirana denitrification system will be retrofitted into the existing septic tank. The 12 BFB design flow requires an SAS of 80 ARC36 Bi diffusor (plastic chambers without stone). Ultra-violet disinfection is not required. Glen Harrington stated further than he had completed two rounds of technical review with Ir. Pes e, and all above comments were addressed. Burton Kaplan made a motion that the Burd approve the application for disposal system construction permits for 34 East load, llashpee. Lucy Burton seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved. 1
