Board of Appeals Minutes—April 28, 1999 3 Mr. Nelson questioned what the applicant proposes to do to improve the road since it is not 20 feet wide. Mr. Regan stated that when this particular subdivision was approved over 15 years ago,the Planning Board purposely reduced the requirement for the width of the road since Punkhom Point is an old ancient way. Mr. Nelson questioned if the applicant would have a problem installing a sprinkler system since the road is not really accessible for any kind of emergency vehicle. Mr. Nelson suggested that the road should be graded to 16 feet wide. Mr. Slavinsky stated that the applicant would be happy to comply with that condition. He also stated that the area below the property is a shellfish area. Mr. Slavinsky stated that the existing cesspool will be removed and a denitrification system for the five-bedroom house will be installed. He stated that it is called a "fast system"which takes approximately three months to take effect in reducing the nitrates. No comments were received from abutters.
