MASHPEE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS OCTOBER 9, 2013 ' MINUTES Kevin Olsen, Representative of Wright -Pierce stated he is one of the consultants working with Mr. Perrine and Community Builders. His focus with Community Builders is the 40 year old waste water infrastructure site. The time has arrived for an improvement of the waste water collection system as well as treatment and disposal. He gave an overview of the project and site of the building location. He stated there are currently three different systems in place. This project will basically provide one common system and provide a near term solution. It will help mitigate the current pumping needs but will also provide a long term reliable sustainable solution. The proposed structure will be designed and constructed in conformance with DEP permitting. He stated he consulted with Tom Fudala on several occasions to make sure the solution on the wastewater side was consistent with the Town's overall comprehensive wastewater management planning, is consistent with the Mass Estuaries Project nitrogen goals, and will provide improved discharge quality to the ground water. The current system is putting out 30 milligrams per leader of total nitrogen into the ground water. The new system will put out 5-10 milligrams per leader to 700 lbs. year, or less. Stephanie stated there are currently three separate systems.'The individual septic systems that exist under Title 5 will be properly abandoned and require emptying and filling them with sand or appropriate material. Each of the homes and apartment buildings will no . longer have or share any Title 5 Systems. This new system will connect all the homes and apartments. Besides the obvious benefits of one centralized treatment facility, and enhanced treatment of the wastewater, is the allegations imposed by the grandfathered discharge permit issued by the department including monitoring, making certain the plant is working at the appropriate level, as well as financial assurance requirements for ongoing maintenance and replacement of the system. This is a significant commitment by the applicant and well worth to the existent that it overlaps with the Board's authority and the 1974 Special Permit. Mr. Furbush stated he, Mr. Blaisdell, and Mr. Morgan met with Town Counsel and discussed whether this is a minor or a major modification and there are no problems with this project being a minor modification and does not require a special hearing. Mr. Blaisdell made a motion to approve TCB Mashpee Village LP, request a modification to the 1974 Special Permit under § 174-24(C) 9 (a) (b) of the Zoning By-laws and M.G.L. Chapter 40A §6 to allow for construction of a single additional accessory building on property located in an R-5 Zoning District at One Wampanoag Drive, (Map 66 Parcel 1-0- R), Mashpee, MA.
