10 some excavation to do when the time came. It is some of the same setback variances. There is one less since he has a 10' separation from the front lot line. It is the same variance and same distance from the setback from the edge of the salt marsh for the leaching system. The final variance from the Town of Mashpee bylaw for less than 2' of naturally occurring permeable soil between the bottom of the S.A.S. and groundwater. They did perform a deepwater perk to demonstrate that the soil was there. He was aware of the controversy over that whole effort. He wanted Mr. Harrington to comment on anything further that he might have missed. Mr. Harrington wanted to bring a couple of items to the BOH members' attention. He reiterated that they were requesting a variance from the Town of Mashpee for less than a 100' separation from the S.A.S. to the edge of the salt marsh (75.1' feet shown.) Mr. Harrington was wondering what they should do about the wetlands across the street at 61.8' away. At less than 75' the BOH requires UV disinfection. The Town has a local bylaw that is a black water gray water regulation which requires that if you are going to use the black water gray water or Clivus Composting Toilet you have to have at least 4' of naturally occurring pervious material above the groundwater. That is not the case here. There is also an exception in that same regulation that if you don't have the 4' you can go down to the 2' and in this case you don't even have the 2' of naturally occurring. They had to go down into groundwater to obtain naturally occurring pervious material. Also, this is a mounded system. He wanted to make sure that the BOH is aware of the items that were being presented before them. Mr. Pesce responded to the UV disinfection. He would argue against that because he has in the past been before the BOH where they have required him to put a UV disinfection system in for a conventional septic system on Surf Drive not too far away from this location. But, that was for a conventional septic system. It was only a black water source that most of the viruses and pathogens would be generated from are not going to be transmitted into the groundwater system. He would then argue that that is not the same condition and ask for the BOH's understanding in that regard. The other issues are issues that he and Mr. Harrington have talked about. He completely agrees and understands. Mr. Harrington felt that it was important for them to be before the BOH tonight to make sure that all of the discussion is complete and the file is complete. The BOH had approved it before. They then went down the road with the BOH's concurrence to the other two Boards in Town. They are basically just trying to button it up this time. Mr. Ball then asked how high the foundation was going to be. Mr. Pesce replied that the first finished floor would be above the 100-year flood plain. But the top of the foundation would be 1 P above sea level. What they are doing is getting the first finished floor elevation out of the flood plain so that the construction can be conventional above that surface. Ms. Warden recommended that BOH have the homeowner file the maintenance contract with the registry of deeds so that it goes into perpetuity.
