Dear Mr. Pearson,
This correspondence is in regards to your application for a building permit for an addition above
your existing garage at the address above. As I indicated in our conversation on March 14,
2001the Health Department cannot approve the building application because the existing septic
system does not meet the requirements of the current Title V that was revised in 1995.
According to the Health Department records, your septic system is over thirty-three years old and
was originally designed for a three-bedroom house. In 1992 the Board of Health voted on and
allowed you to add an addition to your home without increasing the size of the septic system.
Your recent application indicates that your home is now eight rooms and you want to add one
room. Title V states that to calculate the number of rooms, you divide the total number of rooms
by two.
To accommodate the addition, your septic system would need to be sized for a four-bedroom
house. Exact calculations of your system capacity cannot be made without additional
information, which would normally be obtained through requiring a Title V inspection and soils
testing, but it is clear that since you have already increased the homes size, your system is not
adequate by today's standards.
For these reasons the Health Department has disapproved your application. If you do decide to
move forward with your addition plans and choose to have your system upgraded, I have
enclosed a pamphlet, "My Septic System Has Failed" for your convenience. Although your
system has not failed a title V, the procedure for upgrading your septic is basically identical. If
you have any additional questions please call the Health Department Monday—Friday, 8:30-4:30.
Sincer

To the Town of North Andover Board of Health,
It is our intent to remove the roof on our existing
three bedroom ranch house . The plan is to put the three
bedrooms upstairs , to open up the downstairs for more
living space , kitchen, living room, den, and office .
The fact that we are not increasing the number of
bedrooms , we hope you will allow us to do this project
without modifying the septic system.
Sincerely,
tt

4 . Don Pearson - 1030 Johnson Street - Homeowner is requesting
approval of building plans from the BOH.
Potential for an increase in the number of
�� bedrooms. However, seems unlikely given the
size of the house.
Agents recommendations: Approve request to sign building permit
as renovations will not result in any additional bedrooms (3
max) , unless a- plan, upgrading the septic system is submitted.
