APPOINTMENTS 7:15—Title V Variance,190 Monomoscoy Road Mr. Harrington stated that a new construction septic plan forthis property was reviewed and approved in 1999,with a septic permit extension granted to 2003. The septic permit had since expired,and a new application is being made. The variances to the watercourse have been mitigated by the inclusion of the FAST denitrificatlon unit and the ultra-violet light. The original proposed dwelling was to be constructed upon piles which would not require cellar wall/crawl space variances. Two properties, 265 and 266 Monomoscoy,were required to have a composting toilet because they did not have enough pervious soil, but the setback distances to wetlands were similar. There is enough pervious soil here for the primary and reserve soil absorption systems. The location of the septic system Is the best that can be done for the property. Matthew Costa, of Cape & Islands Engineering, was present to represent the applicant, He stated that the relief being requested is virtually the same as what was previously approved back in 1999. An abutter to this property addressed the Board and questioned whether or not the activity on the lot had been properly permitted and.approved. Mr. Costa started that It had, and further explained about distance to wetland versus distance to groundwater,which seemed to satisfy the abutter's concerns. Laurel Almquist moved to approve the Title V Variance at 190 Monomoscoy Road with the following conditions: 1) a denitrification FAST unit with the 19 mg/l standard Is required on total nitrogen testing, per the DEP approval letter; 2)the VV light to be tested quarterly For two years for total coliform,with a standard of 200 colonies/ml; 3) a barrier with a poly liner or equal is required; 4) all samples are to be obtained from the distribution box;5)the property line is to be staked prior to installation;and 6)an O& M contract is required for the life of the system with a minimum one-year contract by a Class II WWTP operator, and Is to be submitted to the Health Department prior to issuance of occupancy.
