APPOINTMENTS 7:15 PM—Title V Variance—28 East Road. Glen Harrington stated that the proposed septic repair plan has been provided to replace a failed cesspool with a Title V system. The proposed septic system includes a two compartment septic tank/pump chamber, an H-20 d-box and three 500-gallon concrete chambers which will service the existing two bedroom dwelling. One variance has been requested which is for the proposed septic tank to the eastern property line. Mr. Harrington has reviewed the plan and made his comments to the engineer. They included the fact that the dwelling was a two bedroom per the floor plans, so the design flow should reference two bedrooms not three, a stripout inspection is required to be performed by the BOH,and the septic tank must have a minimum capacity of 1000 gallons. Mr. Harrington stated he sent the Title V reference for that, and did receive a revised plan per those comments. He further stated that 31 Park Road was the only direct abutter that was affected,and the owner of record had been notified as required by Title V. Mr. Harrington recommended that the board approve the septic variance with the following conditions: 1)that a strip-out inspection of the proposed SAS be performed by a health agent; 2)that the design flow reference two bedrooms, and 3) that the septic tank be specified as a 1,000 gallon minimum capacity. Dan Ojala, PE, PLS, Down Cape Engineering, introduced himself. Mr. Ojala indicated that all of Mr. Harrington's comments had been addressed. He stated that the variance is simply the tank to the sideline, and that the exact relief is 10'to 5.8 on the sideline. Mr, Harrington stated that, at the time of the stripout inspection, they would like to check the groundwater. He indicated that they did not hit groundwater at 11 feet,which was surprising. There being no further questions or discussion, Laurel Almquist made a Motion to approve the Title V site plan and septic variance with the condition that a stripout inspection of the,proposed soil absorption system be performed by a Health Agent, with a reference to the June 28, 2018 revision date on the plan. Motion seconded by Brian Baumgaertel. VOTE: Unanimous (2-0). 1
