There being no further comments, Mallory Langler moved to <br /> approve the Definitive Subdivision Plan for The Cottages at-New Seabury, Phase IV as presented. <br /> Motion seconded by Brian Baumgaertel. VOTE: Unanimous(2-0). <br /> 4. Review and discussion of commercial condominium septic inspection enforcement. Mr. <br /> Harrington commented that Title V does not distinguish between commercial and residential <br /> condominiums. All condominium properties are required to have septic inspections every three <br /> years, but the 21 commercial condominiums in the Town are believed to have not been <br /> complying. The Board of Health has orders against Deer Crossing Condos for failing to perform <br /> Title V septic inspections for some time. Staff are currently researching how many properties <br /> have had compliant inspections. Enforcement for not having septic inspections performed has <br /> been $300 for I/A systems for each inspection event missed. Mr. Harrington asked that any <br /> further discussion be tabled until Health Agents finish compiling information. <br /> 5. Review of proposed amendments to Food Establishment Inspection Regulation. Mr.Harrington <br /> commented that Ms. Gardipe has updated the Board of Health Food Establishment Inspection <br /> and Enforcement Regulation to reflect the new 2013 Federal Food Code. Board members and <br /> Health Agents reviewed the major changes with respect to the types of violations and the <br /> timeframe for corrections. Ms, Langler asked how many seasonal food establishments are.in the <br /> Town, and Mr. Harrington answered that there are 22. Chair Baumgaertel asked for an example <br /> of a core violation that would require 90 days to correct, and Mr. Harrington answered that it <br /> would be anything that had to do with the physical facility,such as a chipped floor tile that could <br /> be a tripping hazard and/or hold food debris. Currently the.Board requires "non-criticals" to be <br /> corrected in 10 days and "criticals" to be corrected in 24 hours, Fines were briefly reviewed and <br /> discussed, and Mr. Harrington stated that the current protocols for enforcement have worked <br /> well. 'Board members and health,egents deliberated on the number and severity of violations <br /> with respect to fines and probation, but members agreed to wait for a full Board to finalize the <br /> regulation. Mr. Harrington suggested that, once the final draft of the regulation is prepared, a <br /> public hearing and forum should be scheduled. <br /> 6. Discussion of Landfill Monitoring Reports. Mr. Harrington commented that timeliness of reports <br /> is still very poor,and advised the Board that this is the third year of a three-year contract,and the <br /> monitoring contract is going out to bid again in April. <br /> 7. Discussion of sale of paraphernalia at convenience stores. Mr. Harrington commented that this <br /> is a write-in from a concerned citizen. He stated that with marijuana legal, it is difficult to tell <br /> what paraphernalia is used for what. The former way that paraphernalia was sold was by labeling <br /> for "tobacco use only". The legalization of marijuana only complicates and legitimizes much of <br /> the products. The Board of Health will be able to tell what is used for what, especially when no <br /> illegal drug is on the paraphernalia. <br /> Mallory Langler moved to adjourn the Public Session Meeting of the Board of Health at 9:02 PM.
