One of the out-buildings labeled as a shed was observed with a set of bunk beds in it but, even <br /> though it had enough square footage for a bedroom, it has no heat and, therefore, cannot be <br /> considered a primary bedroom. Mr.Harrington stated that,if the bedrooms are determined using <br /> square footage,then there is enough area to make the main dwelling a two bedroom. The septic <br /> system will not make the 75' setback from border of vegetative wetland/salt marsh so it will be a <br /> UV and denitrification system regardless of how many bedrooms are in the dwelling. Even though <br /> the property is not in a Zone II, it is in an area where abutting estuaries are considered impacted. <br /> Chair Baumgaertel asked how the property was deeded, and Mr. Harrington answered that the <br /> property is in its original condition from the 1930s, and the Assessor currently has it as a one <br /> bedroom; however it falls on the Board of Health to determine the number of legal bedrooms. <br /> Mr. Harrington stated that if/when the house is torn down, the owners will have to raise the <br /> house/property in the same manner as was done at 265&266 Monomoscoy. The only difference <br /> between those properties and this situation is that this property has existing dwellings and an <br /> existing cesspool. If the third bedroom is requested,then it was Mr. Harrington's opinion that a <br /> composting toilet be required, as was the case with 265 & 266 Monomoscoy Road. <br /> There being no further comments or discussion,Veronica Warden moved to restrict the property <br /> at 257 Monomoscoy Road to a 2-bedroom dwelling.

Mr. Harrington commented that the <br /> dwelling is proposed to be renovated with the septic system being replaced. Mr. Harrington <br /> reviewed, the proposed site and septic design plan prepared by Falmouth Engineering, and <br /> comments were provided to the engineer. Those corrections have been made and abutters were <br /> notified. Three variances are being requested. <br /> Michael Borselli, of Falmouth Engineering, introduced himself for the record as representing the <br /> property owner, Philip George. He addressed the Board stating that the current owner Is <br /> proposing to do some renovations, and to install a pool and patio, but the current system would <br /> be in conflict. As part of the septic replacement,the current tank and leach pit would be pumped <br /> and removed. Additionally,an impervious membrane along the cellar wall Is proposed to mitigate <br /> a setback variance for the SAS to the cellar wall. In an effort to maintain the 10'setback from the <br /> abutter's property line, an additional variance was being requested to reduce the setback from <br /> the septic tank to the cellar wall. Mr. Borselli stated that the Conservation Commission voted to <br /> issue an order of conditions for these improvements,and he stressed to the Board that there is a <br /> public health and environmental benefit to the proposed system. <br /> Ms. Warden expressed concern that the relocated shed was too close to the septic system. Mr. <br /> Borselli stated that it could be moved closer to the road, but still behind the house. He further <br /> advised the Board that the only renovation to the dwelling was a 2' bump out in the area that is <br /> currently a deck. <br /> There being no comments or discussion,Veronica Warden moved to approve the Title V variances <br /> as presented at 25 Naushon Road, with the condition that the shed be relocated 10' or greater <br /> from the system,and the new location be approved by a Health Agent. Motion seconded by Brian <br /> Baumgaertel. Roll call vote: Brian Baumgaertel (yes);Veronica Warden(yes). VOTE: Unanimous <br /> (2-0). <br /> 4 <br />
