On July 19, 2014, Mr. Harrington received an email from Peter McEntee, the designer of the septic plan. Mr. McEntee stated that the trench was 8 feet from the side property line and was placed 11 feet away from where it should have originally been constructed. Mike Labute had backfilled the middle of the trench, so lir. McEntee never saw the entire trench and did not realize there was a bend in it, which actually made it the correct length. The first engineered as built showed the trench was 11 feet off. The as built plan was re-drawn showing the accurate location of the trench. Mr. McEntee emailed a list of corrections to Mr. Harrington and Mr. Labute. Mike Labute made the corrections, and the end of the trench was brought back away from the side property line and moved the beginning of the trench back towards the septic tank to its correct location. Glen Harrington commented that this is an after-the-fact variance requested by the installer, Mike Labute. The engineer, Peter McEntee designed it 10 feet frorn the eastern property line, but the leaching was not installed in its proper location. Mr. McEntee places swing-ties on his plans so contractors know where to layout the components. Burton Kaplan made a motion that the Board of Health approve the three-foot variance requested for 2 Shipwreck Drive. calliope Egloff seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved. 5 The Board discussed options as to how to deal with the negligence of Mike Labute.

Glen Harrington commented that the Town Clerk notified Sevin Mahoney that four dogs were licensed at his property at 44 Scituate Road and met the state requirement for a kennel. Mr. Mahoney attended the Mahpee Site Plan Review Committee meeting; and therefore, the Burd must review and comment for the conditions of the kennel permit given by the Town Clerk.

He does not plan to obtain a fifth dog nor does he intend to breed, buy or sell dogs commercially with the kennel permit. The dogs are kept in the house, but they do have ars outdoor fenced in area. The dogs are up-to-date on all vaccinations and licenses. Mr. Mahoney submitted a site plan of the property at Mr. Harrington's request.

Glen Harrington stated that on December 13, 2002, the Board of Health approved a septic design plan for a � new one-bedroom dwelling at 7 Park Road. As the property was in a Zone 11 with 10,547 square feet, the dwelling was restricted to one bedroom. The Soil Absorption System was constructed for 182 gallons per day. deed restriction was also required as the Boil Absorption System was constructed for less than the three- bedroom capacity. The Zone 11's have been re-mapped and Park Road is no longer in Zone 11. Therefore, the owner, at Mr. Harrington's suggestion, had written a request to rescind the deed restriction. As the septic system has a one- bedroom capacity, it will be considered one bedroom until engineering and a new septic permit to increase the size of the Soil Absorption System are provided. 3
