APPOINTMENTS 7:15 PM —Title V Variance Request— Seoonsett Point Road. 1. Michael Borrelli of Falmouth Engineering, representing Robert Roche of 37 Secon eft Point Road, introduced himself to the Board. Mr. Borrelli commented that he is seeking 4 variances for 37 Secon ett Point Toad. Three variances are setbacks to the property-line or proposed structure, and the fourth variance is from the requirement to dig 3 additional test holes on the site. Mr. Bor elli requested to withdraw the variance for Soil Stability that was originally submitted and add the test-hole variance. The applicant is proposing to demolish and reconstruct a dwelling similar in size to the surrounding houses. The house position was determined to meet certain wetland requirements, which restricts the area for the new septic system. Mr. Bor elli requested the following variances for 37 Secon ett Point Road- 1. Soil Absorption System to a property linel o feet. The distance provided is 5 feet. A 5-foot variance i requested. 2. Reserve erve Area to a property line 10 feet. The distance provided is 7 feet. A 3-feet variance is requested. 3. Deserve Area to a slab 10 feet. The distance provided is 4 feet. A -foot variance is requested. . A variance from the requirement to dig 3 additional test holes on the site to perform 3 additional soil evaluations. In Mr. Borselli's opinion, the relief requested is reasonable and granting the variances from the setback requirements would not create any further impact for public health or the environment. Glen Harrington stated that: 1. The concern with the -foot variance to the street line is the location of the water main that services the other homes on the street. This needs to be located and shown on the plan. If it is less than 10 feet from the primary Soil Absorption System to the water main, some (mitigation should be provided. 2. The soils are consistent in that area. Percolation tests have been performed with new systems installed on either side of this property. 3. The -foot variance to the reserve is closer than normally approved, but it is for a slab and does not create an impact. A rubber membrane needs to be shown as mitigation.
