i Mr. Slavinsky commented that this is a little cottage that will be torn down and reconstructed. A new septic system will be installed, and a 13-foot variance from the Soil Absorption System to the crawl space is requested. By installing flow diffusers a foot in depth is gained, which will use less fill. This increases the requested variance a bit, but it also averts the request for a variance against property lines. Mr. Slavinsl y stated that nothing is allowed in a crawl space located in a flood zone, Uti I ities cannot b below the base flood elevation. The floor must be at ground level and not below. 1r. Slavinsky commented that there were two test holes. The first test hole passed, but the second test hole did not. There were trees, stumps and debris, which must all be removed. John Slavinsky stated that the plan indicates two retaining walls, but it appears that drainage may be a problem. Therefore, a third retaining gall will need to be installed. Mr. Slavinsky commented that the retaining wall is required for the Soil Absorption System. Glen Harrington suggested retaining the area around the septic system and not along the property lire which will use less of a retaining gall. Drainage is not allowed to flow into the street. There is no paged driveway, and it will all be landscaped. There will be a system for the roof runoff, probably trench drains along the foundation. Mr. Sla in ky proposed the installation of a trench drain across the entire frontage 2 feet wide and 4 feet deep, which will prevent drainage into the street. Kalliope Egloff made a motion that the Board of Health approve the variance at 16 Squaws Lane with the following conditions: 1.,Property lines and corners to be marked prior to retaining wall construction. 2. The gall location is to be certified by a land surveyor. 3. The wall construction is to be certified by an engineer. .
