MIlVUTES July 30, 1998 4 BOARD OF HEALTH Mr. Grotske stated, "These lots were created originally in 1948 and they have always been shown exactly like this_" "We just reconfirmed the 1991 plans filed by New Seabury Corporation in land court." "One other point I would like to make is that the issue of providing Mr. Eynatian with public water was at his request." Attorney Snow stated, "So this is the plan based on the presumption, assumption that the well is within the house which is based on other wells in the area that their inside the house." Mr_ McQuaid stated, "You can't assume that." "You have to redraw the arc expecting the well to be at each corner of the lot." Attorney Snow stated, "If Mr. Eynatian refuses to disclose the location of the well for the purpose of variances you wouldn't be using this (shown to the Board) as the starting point, you would be using the four corners." Mr. McQuaid responded, "Right." Attorney Snow stated, "I was not privy to reviewing plans before tonight." "I will certainly talk to my client." y' Mr. Doherty stated, "We can't grant a variance based on an assumption unless you can completely rule it out by using the edges of the lot line as the possible location." "You can't say I think it's in the house so we can't grant the variance, he can't move forward with the project and it's all because somebody won't tell us where it is." Mr. Ball motioned to continue this matter until the August 20, 1998 public meeting date, Mr. Doherty seconded, all agreed. Mr. Doherty informed Attorney Snow, "The State requires 100' separation between well and septic, the town requires 150'." "The reason for that is the sandy soils on the Cape." "In a lot of the preexisting subdivisions which were all cut up and laid out before the town adopted the 150' separation it has been customary and we review them on a case by case basis, for us to grant a variance down to the State minimum." "If it comes up to the 20'h and no resolution has been found I'll motion to deny this because I can't do it based on an assumption but this Board is open and they can reapply at any time." 3.) Landfill closure SRF approval - Mr. McQuaid stated, "This indicated that Andy Gottlieb has approved us for the SRF program as far as closure of the landfill and negative interest."
