MINUTES April 20, 1995 6 BOARD OF HEALTH Mr. Doherty motioned to grant the variances as stated by Mr. McQuaid, Mr. Cram seconded, all agreed. 24 Cranberry Lane - Mr. McQuaid relayed, "There are no active wells within 100' of the proposed septic system." "The applicant is requesting a 45' local variance from the proposed on-site leaching facility to the existing on-site well, a 41' local variance from the existing on-site well to abutting leaching facility, ((#20 Cranberry Lane) and a 48' local variance from the proposed on-site leaching facility to abutting well, (930 Cranberry Lane)." Mr. Doherty motioned to grant the variances as stated by Mr. McQuaid, Mr. Cram seconded, all agreed. r 91 Edgewater Drive - Mr. McQuaid relayed, "The applicant is requesting a 15' local variance from the proposed on-site leaching facility to abutting well, (994 Edgewater Road) and a 10' local variance from the proposed on-site leaching facility to abutting well, (#101 Edgewater Drive)." "The engineer has stated that, "The strict interpretation of Title V, `Breakout" would require a separation distance of 60' on this lot and that would mean the top of the leaching pit would have to be buried 22' below surface and that depth is dangerous and impractical. There is now 36' of top and subsoil on the lot creating a cap of very low permeability. This plan proposes a breakout protective distance of 35' which was determined to be sufficient in the technical evaluation of Title V prepared by Defeo, Wait and the Associates, Inc."." "If you follow Title V verbatim this system would have to be lower then elevation 64 however, in my opinion I know that lateral flow extend beyond that point." "We're talking of a 35' breakout radius where Title V might require 45' or 60'." "I would recommend approving this variance to the breakout calculations." "The new Title V states there should be no more breakout distance required beyond 15'." Mr. Doherty motioned to grant the variances as stated by Mr. McQuaid, Mr. Cram seconded, all agreed. 85 Bluff Avenue - Mr. McQuaid relayed, "This is a proposed upgrade and the dwelling will be tied into public water." "The applicant is requesting a 17' local variance from the proposed leaching facility to abutting well, (#82 Bluff Avenue) and a 49' local variance from the proposed leaching facility to abutting well, (#89 Bluff Avenue)." Mr. Doherty motioned to grant the variances as stated by Mr. McQuaid, Mr. Cram seconded, all agreed.
