Members sitting: Cheryl Hawver, William Hanrahan, Michael Makunas Mr. George Thorng of Arrow Engineering presented the plans. Mr. Thorng stated that the applicant is proposing to build a house addition and deck within 50 feet of Santuit Pond. Mr. Hanrahan questioned the lot coverage percentages on the present house and • the proposed additions. Mr. Thorng replied that the present lot coverage including all of the walks and decks is 8.6%. The lot coverage with the proposed additions will be 16.97,. Mr. Thorng reviewed the septic system plans with the Board and stated that the grade of the lot prevented expansion in other areas. The Board was informed that the lot lines in the area had been incorrectly recorded with the result that a corner of the house is only 4' from the lot line. Mr. Boyd stated that the applicant would also require a Special Permit. Ms. Hawver read a memo from the Conservation Area concerning the septic system. The memo stated that the plans do not show Title V Compliance and that the current conditions of Santuit Pond indicate an over abundance of nutrients. Ms. Hawver also read comments from Elias McQuaid, Health Agent, who stated the the type of septic system planned uses a sewer ejector pump and this has to be approved by Mass. D.E.P. The Board determined that the Title V concerns are not within the authority of the Board of Appeals and would be under the jurisdiction of the Board of Health. Mr. Makunas moved to grant the variance to build within 50' of the • water. Mr. Hanrahan seconded. All agreed.
