Brian Baumgaertel thanked everyone for their comments which will be taken into consideration. A decision will not be rendered at tonight's meeting. Amendments will be made if the Board decides to proceed with this regulation since there is a bit of opposition. Glen Harrington will compose revisions and reissue another draft for the Board of Health to review for the next Board of Health meeting scheduled on May 3, 2018. John Calahane, a resident of Mashpee and a Selectman for the Town of Mashpee, introduced himself to the Board. Mr. Calahane inquired if another public hearing would be held for the final draft rental property regulation. The Board of Health remarked that a public hearing will take place. 7:45 PM -- Public Hearing — Proposed Amendments to the IIA On-Site Septic Systems Regulation. Glen Harrington stated that he is waiting for comments from Brian Dudley from the Department of Environmental Protection, as to whether the Department of Environmental Protection still has control of the Innovative Alternative On-Site Septic Systems. Mr. Harrington recommended to have field sampling and reduce the quarterly sampling. Mr. Harrington felt that maintenance is more important than the sampling. Laurel Almquist made a motion that the Board of Health continue discussion of Amendments to the Innovative Alternative Septic System to the next Board of Health meeting scheduled on May 3, 2018. Brian Baumgaertel seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved. 8:00 PM —Commercial Site and Septic Plan Review—735 Falmouth Road. Laurel Almquist made a motion that the Board of Health move the 8:15 PM meeting regarding 735 Falmouth Road to 8:00 PM. Brian Baumgaertel seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved. Glen Harrington stated that the property located at 735 Falmouth Road is a relatively steep-sloping property that has been of interest for commercial use for the past several years. Now a proposal has been submitted for office and warehouse uses with commercial contractor bays. The septic system and storm water design have been reviewed and are acceptable. One comment regarding the uses of the contractor's bays is if the uses change, it will dictate a larger Title V flow. Therefore, it is recommended the septic system be overdesigned with a denitrification system. This allows for more flexibility with the proposed uses within the building. If not, the uses are restricted to the existing flow. Raul Lizardi-Rivera of Cape and Islands Engineering, introduced himself to the Board. Mr. Lizardi-Rivera commented that the intention of the current owner is to develop the building for five tenants. The lower level office has access to the front. The second story has both office and garage space. The current owner is Longfellow Design in Falmouth. He may use this location for his own office, unless he is able to obtain tenants to fill the space. Mr. Harrington commented that since the bathrooms are located on the second floor, the lower level occupants will not have access to a bathroom and there is no interior stairway. Mr. Harrington suggested that rough plumbing be brought into the lower level offices should they be rented individually or propose an,interior stairway on the plan. Laurel Almquist made a motion that the Board of Health approve the commercial site and septic plans for 735 Falmouth Road with the Commercial Property Requirements after a bench mark is added. If the offices are rented separately then all of the offices should have individual bathrooms. Brian Baumgaertel seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved. OLD BUSINESS 1.
