MINUTES March 31 , 1994 5 BOARD OF HEALTH Mr. Doherty commented, "At this time we cannot include the 1995 ban as the restaurant owners have agreed to the fi- nal draft regulation presented this evening. " Mr. Heufelder commented, "There are some restaurant own- ers in Falmouth that are concerned that their patrons may prefer to dine at Mashpee restaurants if smoking is permit- ted. " Mr. Doherty commented, "The quicker the County adopts a regulation the quicker the towns can adopt it. " Mr. Doherty stated, "The matter will be continued until next week's meeting. " APPOINTMENT: John Slavinsky (Cape & Islands Eng. ) - 29 Seaview Avenue Mr. John Slavinsky was in attendance for this scheduled appointment. Mr. Slavinsky presented preliminary plans and informed Board members, "This is an existing four bedroom house. " "There is a 6' x 8' cesspool servicing the dwelling which may be sitting in groundwater. " "The basement is, finished off with a bedroom and there are three bedrooms on the first floor." "The owner is proposing to eliminate two bedrooms on the main level and add a second story with two bedrooms therefore, the number of bedrooms will remain the same. " "The owner would like to upgrade his system to meet Title V requirements. " "In order to upgrade the system we will re- quire an 8' variance from the wetland area. " "This is neces- sitated as the Conservation Commission is requiring we main- tain 50' from the top of the embankment. " "We will also require a sideline variance from the reserve. " "No wells are located within 150' of the proposed leaching facility. " Mr. Evans relayed, "on May 10, 1993 a septic evaluation was performed at which time the system was found to be func- tioning properly. " Mr. Doherty informed Mr. Slavinsky, "This Board does not grant variances from the wetlands regulation. " "I would rec- ommend the installation of a trench system which would main- tain 100' from the wetland area." Mr. Slavinsky agreed to revise plans incorporating Mr. Doherty's recommendation to install a trench system.
