Mr. Rosati presented to the Board an update of the situation at 1160 Salem Street. Mr. Rosati stated that according to ZBA, Mr. Voris is proposing an addition of a one bedroom family suite. Mr. Rosati is concerned that the design capacity of the septic system may be exceeded by this addition and as per Title V and local subsurface disposal regulations the system should be enlarged. Mr. Rosati stated that there is no indication that the system is failing and that Mr. Voris has a couple of options 1) Add on to the existing system 2) increase the size of the system or 3) to do nothing. Mr. Rosati recommend that they increase the size.

OTHER BUSINESS: Dr. Pasanan - 117 Osgood Street: Mr. Rosati stated that eight (8) months ago he sent Dr. Pasanan an order letter to tie-in to the sewer system. Recently, Mr. Rosati did a site inspection and found that the septic system was leaching onto the surface of the ground. A second order letter allowed Dr. Pasanen an additional thirty (30) days to tie-in. At the present time no hook-up has been initiated. Mr. Rosati wanted to know what direction the Board wants him to take. The Board Members agreed to send a letter to Dr. Pasanen stating that he is to comply with the April 5, 1991 order letter within forty-five (45) days and to present evidence of having initiated plans to hook up to the common sanitary sewer within fourteen (14) days. Failure to comply will result in court action. The Board Members requested a copy of the list of addresses capable of hooking onto sewer who have not yet done so. Discussions - Mr. Rosati: Mr. Rosati informed the Board that an installer' s permit was issued to Tim Melvin who has recently taken the installer's test and passed. Mr. Rosati stated that Scott Quinn wanted to be re-instated as an installer. Mr. Quinn does not have recommendations and Mr. Rosati is inclined not to give him a permit but stated if there is a problem he will suggest going before the Board. Mr. Rosati stated that Fred Horne submitted a septic design for a new lot and that it required additional soil testing. Mr. Rosati stated that if he was to do a repair, the area would be adequate, but he wants to take the carriage house and the guest house and relocate it onto this new lot and service it with this new septic system which he has upgraded. Mr. Rosati stated that he came in with a design proposal not only for a variance from Title V, for depth of ledge, but he also wants to put in clay barriers. Mr. Rosati denied the plan and wanted to update the Board. Page 3 Minutes: May 23 , 1991 Mr. Rosati stated that now that there are new regulations, he will be denying old plans in the files which do not comply. He stated that engineers will be asking if the Board will consider granting variances on these lots. If the Board will consider granting variances, Mr. Rosati will let the engineers know its okay to proceed. The Board members agreed to consider granting variances and Mr. Rosati will inform the engineers of this. Discussion - Ms. Conboy - Policy Regarding Complaints: A lengthy discussion ensued in reference to establishing an informal policy as to how the Board wants to see Ms. Conboy go about complaints. Animal Regulations: Ms. Conboy stated that the Board of Health permits animals but has no regulations on them. She stated she will accumulate data from State Laws and Regulations and compose an animal regulation and bring it before the Board. Massage Regulations: Ms. Conboy stated that the Massage Regulations back in November of 1990, that the Board passed, were never printed in the newspaper. Ms. Conboy will arrange for them to be printed in the Citizen. Pools: Ms. Conboy stated that all pools are all going ahead - most will be open tomorrow - no major problems. Heritage Green is the only one that Ms. Conboy sees as a possible problem. Heritage Green put a flow meter on their pump for the first time and State requirement is that your total volume of water in the pool goes through and re-circulates every eight (8) hours. Heritage Green's flow meter indicates that it is re- circulating every sixteen (16) hours. Ms. Conboy stated that Heritage Green has been operating like this for twenty (20) years. The Board agreed to grant a variance for this weekend with the stipulation that the chemical standards are okay and that they reduce the volume of bathers and that they come before the Board in June for a variance for the remainder of the summer season.
