7:20—Title V Variance,7 chart Way <br /> Mr. Harrington stated that this property'was constructed in 1971, pre-code, making it a repair of an <br /> existing septic system. The variances required for this repair are the one-foot drop to estimated seasonal <br /> high groundwater and lack of four feet of pervious soil above groundwater. The lack of four feet'of <br /> pervious soil is a Board of Health variance. Mr. Harrington stated that, If this were new construction,the <br /> Board would require a composting toilet. However,as this is a repair and four feet or pervious soil can be <br /> provided with Title V sand, no compost toilet is typically required. <br /> Matthew Costa was present to represent the applicant. He stated that this request was reviewed with <br /> Mr. Harrington, who recommended that a pressure distribution field be used in place of a low-profile <br /> chambered system. Mr. Costa supported the recommendation, as it would benefit the client in terms of <br /> cost, and benefit the environment in terms of improved treatment. He indicated his Intent to submit a <br /> revised plan,and asked the Board to conditionally approve the variance. <br /> Ms. Langler moved to approve the modified septic plan for 7 Chart Way pending the submission of the <br /> revised plan to the Health Agent, and provided the waterline be re-routed or sleeved upon installation. <br /> Motion seconded by Laurel Almqulst.
