Review and approval of expense warrants. It was understood that expense warrants would have <br /> to be signed outside of the meeting,due to there being no Board members physically present. <br /> 3. Review of request for Title V variances—56 Alma Road,,Down Cape Engineering. Mr. Harrington <br /> commented that this matter concerns a septic repair with two maximum feasible compliance <br /> variances and one full Title V variance. There are no septic systems on abutting properties within <br /> 10" of the proposed system. The health agent observed groundwater at the septic inspection in <br /> an augered hole, and the engineer used that information to determine groundwater. The <br /> engineer was asked to check for abutting potable wells. <br /> Chris Ferrari, of Down Cape Engineering, introduced himself for the record as representing the <br /> applicant. He stated that he had checked with the Water Department and all abutters are hooked <br /> up to Town water. Ms. Warden noted that the Water Department typically prepares a letter to <br /> that effect, and asked that one be provided for our office records. <br /> Chair Baumgaertel asked if the structure was on a slab or a full foundation, and Mr. Ferrari <br /> answered that it is on a full foundation, and added that the variance was just for the setback to <br /> the bulkhead. He also stated that the plan shows a 40 ml liner would be used, along with an H- <br /> 20 d-box. <br /> There being no further comments or discussion,Ernest Virgilio moved to approve the septic repair <br /> plan for 56 Alma Road as presented. Motion seconded by Veronica Warden. Roll call vote: Ernest <br /> Virgilio(yes);Veronica Warden(yes); Brian Baumgaertel (yes). VOTE-. Unanimous(3-0). <br /> 4. Review and approval of request for Marijuana Cultivation Permit—Aspen Blue LLC, Kyle Baker. <br /> Mr. Harrington commented that Aspen Blue, LLC is requesting a Marijuana Cultivation Permit <br /> from the Board of Health for their facility at 14 Wags Road. Wags Road was a former boat repair <br /> and storage facility, but it has a secured yard and a building with a sprinkler system. The septic <br /> system has passed inspection. A tight tank is proposed for the storage of irrigation water used <br /> within the facility. Floor drains will be installed to collect the irrigation water. One of the main <br /> public health concerns with a grow facility is odor. Noise is also a concern from the equipment <br /> used at the facility. An odor mitigation plan was prepared and provided for the Board's review. <br /> The plan has also► been submitted to DEP Air Quality Section for review. Tom Cushing, of the <br /> Southeast Region, will be the person to comment on the plan, but Mr. Harrington stated that he <br /> did not know how long that review would take. <br /> Mark Goudreau, Esq.and Kyle Baker participated in the meeting on behalf of the applicant,Aspen <br /> Blue LLC. Attorney Goudreau reviewed details of the odor mitigation plan and the equipment <br /> that would be used. Mr. Virgilio asked who does the inspections and monitoring, and Attorney <br /> Goudreau answered that that is a growing question. He further answered that the odor is not a <br /> risk to public health,so the state is leaving it up to cities and towns through their local ordinances. <br /> 4 <br />
