7:20 PM--Title V Variance—47 Bearse Road. Glen Harrington stated that the proposed septic repair plan has been provided to replace a failed soil absorption system due to distance to GW during a property transfer inspection. The proposed septic system includes a 500-gallon pump chamber, an H-10 (needs to be H-20) d-box and six Cultec C-4 low profile plastic chambers which will service the existing three bedroom dwelling. One variance has been requested which is for the proposed soil absorption system to be installed four feet to GW in lieu of the required 5 feet. I have reviewed the plan and made my comments to the engineer. They included the removal of the existing SAS rather than the in-place abandonment, a correction to General Note#14 and the d-box to be H-20 rated...add "not" as a property line survey or flood elevation, etc. Mr. Harrington recommended that the board approve the Title V variance as presented. Peter McEntee, PE, Engineering Works, stated it has been his experience with mounded systems that, when using an H-20 d-box, the covers are so thick they are almost resting at the ground surface. He requested the use of an H-10 or H-20 without the thick cover so that it doesn't present a freezing problem in the winter. Mr. Harrington stated his concern that the H-10 d-boxes do not last and the Town requires H-20 for all new installations, but suggested a liquid sealer could be used to waterproof the H-10 in this case. Mr. McEntee agreed and indicated his intention to submit a revised plan with those changes. A Motion was made by Laurel Almquist to approve the septic variance for 47 Bearse Road, to include removal of the existing soil absorption system. Motion seconded by Brian Baumgaertel. VOTE: Unanimous(2-0). Mr. Harrington asked if the Board wanted to approve the requested variance for use of an H-10 d-box in lieu of an H-20, provided a revised plan was submitted. Ms. Almquist made a revised Motion to include the additional variance for use of an H-10 d-box, to be included in the revised plan. Motion seconded by Mr. Baumgaertel. Mr. Harrington asked that the Motion be further revised to state that the d-box be sealed to ensure water tightness. There being no further questions or discussion, Laurel Almquist made a second revised Motion to approve variance relief for 47 Bearse Road, to include removal of the present soil absorption system and also to have a revised plan submitted with a variance for an H-10 d-box which will be sealed and waterproofed. Motion seconded by Brian Baumgaertel. VOTE: Unanimous (2-0). 7:25 PM—2018 Food Service Permit: Laurentide at Mashpee Commons--64 Great Neck Road South. Glen Harrington stated that this request is for a new assisted living/memory-care facility on Great Neck Road South to obtain a food establishment permit to serve food to the occupants. He advised the board that several preliminary inspections have been performed to monitor progress,and that Ernie Virgilio had been overseeing construction and acting as liaison to the Town. The floor plan was reviewed by staff during the building permit process. Mr. Harrington recommended that the board approve the 2018 food establishment permit with the condition that a final inspection be performed by a health agent. Samantha Lavoie, Resident Dining Director, was present at the meeting. Mr. Baumgaertel inquired about the official opening date of the facility, and Ms. Lavoie stated it was tentatively set for August 1, 2018. 2
