The meeting reconvened in the South Cape Meeting Room at 7:05 PM. APPOINTMENTS 7:15—241 Monomoscoy Road TN. Title V plan or'ginally s;.hm teed has kioen revised;therefore,the only requested variance now is fta 5' from the property line to the reserve area. As long as there is no septic system located within 10' of the proposed reserve area then there is no impact to the abutting property. Raul Lizardi,of Cape&Islands Engineering, introduced himself for the record as representing the property owner. He gave a history on the property stating that,in 1999,the Board of Health did approve a design plan with two variances—4'to groundwater and 0'to street lien for the Soil Absorption System (SAS)and reserve area. This is proposed new construction of a two-bedroom home,with a two-bedroom system. The entire site is in the flood zone, so the first floor has-to be above the flood zone and will be used only to store a car and boat. The lot is adjacent to another vacant property, and the lot adjacent to the back of the property only has a shed on it. Mr. Lizardi provided details of the proposed septic system. He stated that Mashpee regulation requires that at least 4'of naturally occurring permeable soils must occur above groundwater,and identified the only area on the lot that would meet that requirement. He stated that the only component in.the proposed plan that does not conform to the required setbacks is the reserve area, but the reserve area will never be built. If the system were to ever fail,it would be replaced in the same location. A stripout'is proposed. ConCom requires that land-lock properties within a flood zone preserve roughly 10% of the lot in its natural state. DPW also asked the engineer to do some additional drainage,to account for the flooding. The driveway will be pervious gravel. Chair Baumgaertel opened a period for public comment,and Mr. Harrington read into the record an email from Wayne and Susan Simmons,the owners of 105 Monomoscoy Road West,objecting to the variance requests. Ms.'Gardipe read into the record an email from Ron and Vicki Bourque, the owners of 96 Monomoscoy West Road,also objecting to the variance requests. Mr. Lizardi commented that one of the setback variances mentioned in the emails was no longer requested on the revised plan. The size of the proposed dwelling had been reduced to conform with the setback requirements for the primary system. 1
