MINUTES December 29, 1994 5 BOARD OF HEALTH Mr. Ball questioned, "Are all utilities up there." Mr. Raymond responded, "There is water and gas to the property." Mr. Doherty stated, "We do need a legal document stating you own to the center of the road or at least shows property lines to where the center of the road is." Mr. McQuaid stated, "Great River is a tidal influenced wetland." "Our regulation states that the septic leaching facility must be 100' from the top of the bank from a tidal coastal bank." "You can see what Mr. Raymond has designed for a designated discretionary zone that the leaching facility, even in the middle of the road, is within the 100' buffer from the top of the bank." "We use the Conservation Commission's definition of wetlands just as a matter of concurrence." "The system as proposed definitely falls within the 100' separation that we have under regulation." "This Board has in the past allowed for the installation of either a well or septic system across the paper street as long as the owner of the property in question also owns the property on the other side of the street." "We have never allowed anything be it a well or part of a septic system to be developed on a paper street be it privately owned or not." "In my opinion, those two are key issues." "We can't go by the edge of the vegetated wetland we have to go by the top of the bank." Mr. Ball stated, "We have gone by the edge of the vegetated wetland before." L Mr. McQuaid responded, "Not on a coastal bank." 6 Mr. Ball questioned, "Did Bob Sherman have any question with this?" Mr. Raymond responded, "No, I showed it to Bob today." i Mr. Ball stated, "If the Bob Sherman does not have a problem I'm not sure why we would." Mr. Raymond stated, "We did not hit groundwater." "We did a 10.5' test hole at ` elevation 12.37." Mr. McQuaid commented, "We also have a soil stability regulation which requires 150'." "The other issue is the septic system in the road." 4 I L - -
