Alison, can I get a motion to 13 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,160 accept the agenda for today's meeting? 14 00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:40,960 >> You have a motion to accept the agenda 15 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:41,520 for today. 16 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,680 >> I'll second and say yes.

Well, let's start with 20 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,480 the first uh item on the agenda, and 21 00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:52,960 that is seven Garfield Street. So, Morse 22 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,079 Engineering. So, Greg, we'll send it 23 00:00:56,079 --> 00:00:58,160 over to you to present. 24 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,239 >> Great. Thank you. Um, for the record, 25 00:01:00,239 --> 00:01:02,320 Gregory Morse, registered engineer, 26 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,080 Morse Engineering, representing the 27 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,799 property owners, John and Joanne, uh, 28 00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:09,600 Connley at 7 Garfield Street. This is in 29 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,080 the Hummer section of town. I'm going to 30 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,240 do a share screen and put a copy of the 31 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,479 plan up for you to take a look at. Um, 32 00:01:18,479 --> 00:01:21,280 bear with me one second. 33 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:22,799 See 34 00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:24,479 there, you should see a copy of the 35 00:01:24,479 --> 00:01:25,119 plan. 36 00:01:25,119 --> 00:01:26,560 >> Yep, got it. 37 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,320 >> Perfect. So down here where my cursor 38 00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:31,119 is, this is Garfield Street here. The 39 00:01:31,119 --> 00:01:33,520 property line itself is the black bold 40 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,320 line. Uh it's a relatively small lot, 41 00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:39,680 approximately 3,200 square ft. Has an 42 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,360 existing house on it. This is a 43 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:42,880 three-bedroom 44 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,240 uh house. It has a cesspool located in 45 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,040 the backyard right here. That cesspool 46 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,280 has failed. It's actually physically 47 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,799 caved in at this point. So, it's in 48 00:01:54,799 --> 00:01:56,320 desperate need of a septic system 49 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,280 upgrade. What we've proposed here is 50 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,439 we've proposed a new septic tank, a 51 00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:04,000 1500-gallon tank in the backyard, and 52 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,560 then a crush stone leeching field again 53 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,599 in the backyard. This is an area that's 54 00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:12,879 um pretty open uh and it's open sand. 55 00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:14,800 It's not lawn surface. There are no 56 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,040 utilities in the way. So, that's where 57 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,640 we've put the system. and we did two 58 00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:21,520 test pits to verify soils um with 59 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,400 Barbara Rear and Barbara Thel uh on 60 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,800 behalf of the board of health. 61 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,720 What puts us in front of the board is 62 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,720 we're seeking three local upgrade 63 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,160 approvals as part of this. Um the first 64 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,800 one is a reduction in the property line 65 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,879 setback. You'll see that the soil 66 00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:41,120 absorption system to the rear lot line 67 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,400 is 8 ft and to the side lot line is 6 68 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,599 1/2 ft. 10 feet is what's required per 69 00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:52,000 title five. Um the second reduction that 70 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,160 we're asking for the local upgrade is 71 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,920 for the soil absorption system to the 72 00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:00,959 seller wall. We'll see that we have a 73 00:03:00,959 --> 00:03:05,760 setback of 11.1 ft proposed. Um 20 ft is 74 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,120 typically the requirement for title 5. 75 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,360 And then the third one is a reduction in 76 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,319 the separation from the soil absorption 77 00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:16,879 system to the groundwater table. 78 00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:19,840 Typically a 4ft separation is required 79 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,519 from the groundwater to the bottom of 80 00:03:21,519 --> 00:03:24,400 the SAS. We've asked for a reduction to 81 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,519 3 ft from the groundwater to the SAS. 82 00:03:27,519 --> 00:03:29,680 Um, in regards to the first two 83 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,920 requests, the setback to the lot lines 84 00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:34,959 and the setback to the foundation, um, 85 00:03:34,959 --> 00:03:36,799 there's nowhere on this lot where you 86 00:03:36,799 --> 00:03:39,519 could comply with foundation and 87 00:03:39,519 --> 00:03:42,400 property line setbacks due to the 88 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,560 location of the existing structure, the 89 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,200 location of utilities um, in the small 90 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,319 size of this lot. So, where the existing 91 00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:52,159 system is in the backyard, that's where 92 00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:53,840 the plumbing is. We figured the new 93 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,519 system would be best suited in the 94 00:03:55,519 --> 00:03:57,920 backyard. Um and we tried to kind of 95 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,799 split the difference on those setbacks. 96 00:04:00,799 --> 00:04:03,439 Um you'll also note on the plan between 97 00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:07,519 the foundation and the SAS, this bold 98 00:04:07,519 --> 00:04:10,799 dotted line represents a barrier, a 40 99 00:04:10,799 --> 00:04:14,000 mil um breakout liner, if you will, 100 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,400 between the foundation and the SAS as 101 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,840 extra protection. Um, with regards to 102 00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:22,639 the groundwater separation setback, this 103 00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:25,440 property is not in a zone 2 or an 104 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,000 aquifer protection area. Um, the 105 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,440 reduction allows this to be a 106 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,160 gravity-fed septic system versus 107 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,880 necessitating a pumped septic system. 108 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,759 So, we think this is maximum local 109 00:04:37,759 --> 00:04:40,639 upgrade approval. And, uh, I'm going to 110 00:04:40,639 --> 00:04:42,000 turn it over to you. 111 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,440 >> Great. All right. Thanks for that. That 112 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,520 was very helpful, Greg. The description. 113 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,840 Um Joan, any concerns from a board of 114 00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:48,639 health perspective? 115 00:04:48,639 --> 00:04:50,800 >> Um nope. I just want to make a note that 116 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,360 we did get the buttercards. 117 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,720 >> And secondly, this is currently a two 118 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,520 twobedroom house, but Title 5 says they 119 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,160 have to have a three-bedroom septic. So 120 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:03,280 that's why they're designing a 121 00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:05,120 three-bedroom. I just want to make that 122 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:05,680 point. 123 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,840 >> Got it. Okay. And 124 00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:09,919 >> if I could add one more thing, I 125 00:05:09,919 --> 00:05:12,000 apologize I didn't say this earlier. Uh, 126 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,759 the Conservation Commission did approve 127 00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:15,680 this at their last meeting. 128 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,520 >> Okay, great. So, that's taken care of, 129 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,960 too. Great. Um, Allison, do you have any 130 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,160 questions? 131 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,680 >> I do not. No. 132 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,280 >> All right. Are you in a position to make 133 00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:26,960 a motion or would you like me to do 134 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,240 that? 135 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,199 >> Um, I'd like for you to make the motion. 136 00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:34,080 Uh, I don't have it everything right in 137 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,440 front of me. It's on my 138 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:36,960 >> Yeah, I know you're at work that No, no 139 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,840 worries. Okay. Um so let me make a 140 00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:42,400 motion to approve uh the local upgrades. 141 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,759 And so that is um number one uh the 142 00:05:45,759 --> 00:05:47,840 request from required 10 foot setback to 143 00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:50,320 6.5 ft from the SAS to the property 144 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,360 line. The second is the request for a 145 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,240 required 20ft setback to 11.1 ft from 146 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,800 the foundation wall to the SAS. And the 147 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,560 third is the request to allow for 148 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,479 reduction in groundwater separation from 149 00:06:02,479 --> 00:06:06,639 4T to 3 feet. Um Alison um how do you 150 00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:09,919 vote? I vote to approve 151 00:06:09,919 --> 00:06:12,160 >> and I do too. So, um, we're all set, 152 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,160 Greg.

Um we are 178 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,199 in the Hummer Rock area. Um the access 179 00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:16,240 to 102 Hummer Beach is actually off this 180 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,080 um thing, this public area called a 181 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,560 public green on the uh plan of record. 182 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,560 Um which has access to then to Central 183 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,440 A.

And we also have um 284 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,440 some state um a state bill that's in the 285 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,200 House Ways and Means Committee now to 286 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,360 really look at how the state overall is 287 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,000 going to control this this product. So 288 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,320 um so what we thought we'd do is just 289 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,160 see, you know, from a board perspect 290 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,320 perspective, um if we've missed anything 291 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,680 there. Um, I I don't think that we're 292 00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:35,519 going to take any action tonight, but 293 00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:39,519 just wanted to kind of give Allison you know the opportunity to ask any 294 00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:40,959 other questions that you have or have 295 00:11:40,959 --> 00:11:42,560 any more discussion and and the board 296 00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:46,480 members as well. So Allison um thoughts 297 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,959 from your end on this? 298 00:11:48,959 --> 00:11:52,079 >> Um you know I'd like to see what happens 299 00:11:52,079 --> 00:11:55,040 um at a state and a federal level. I 300 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,240 know that it's a only a temporary um 301 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,360 hold. Uh 302 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,839 I'd like to see it also out of you know 303 00:12:03,839 --> 00:12:05,839 not I'd like to see it banned from 304 00:12:05,839 --> 00:12:08,399 Situit. That's just my opinion. But I 305 00:12:08,399 --> 00:12:11,360 did hear that there's very very few um 306 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,360 places that it's available um in you 307 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,560 know our town. So, 308 00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:20,079 um 309 00:12:20,079 --> 00:12:21,600 I'd like to take it I think under 310 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:26,560 advisement and we can discuss it more. 311 00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:27,120 >> Yep. Thoughts? 312 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,040 >> I think Nope. I think I think that's 313 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,680 fair. Um I think the the um evaluation 314 00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:33,360 you did in town there are three 315 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,040 locations that are selling it right now. 316 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,000 So, um not as many as I think we thought 317 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,440 uh were selling it. So, I think that's 318 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,480 the good news. Um I'm with you as far as 319 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,959 you know a ban as as far as the um you 320 00:12:46,959 --> 00:12:49,120 know the manufactured version of this 321 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,760 and an age ban too. And I think it's 322 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,360 just making that decision of do we go 323 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,519 ahead and do something within the town 324 00:12:55,519 --> 00:12:57,360 >> while there's active legislation going 325 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:58,800 on the state and the federal level right 326 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,720 now. And I think you know I think I'm 327 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,120 leaning towards let's hopefully see how 328 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,959 this plays out and hopefully it's not 329 00:13:04,959 --> 00:13:06,720 going to take very long. But, you know, 330 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,079 I'm I think I'm willing to wait to see 331 00:13:08,079 --> 00:13:09,760 how that plays out and just to go along 332 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,920 with what the state and the federal 333 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,320 legislation has to say about the 334 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,240 substances. That's that's kind of where 335 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,000 I'm leaning. So, 336 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,399 >> I agree with you. 337 00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:23,200 >> Uh, Drew, any other comments from your 338 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:24,480 perspective? 339 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,480 >> No, I I mean, I do see a lot of people 340 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,600 with their hands raised and I know we're 341 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,680 not taking questions or comments 342 00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:33,440 tonight. We've already had a period of 343 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,600 that way. Um, I kind of agree with you 344 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,360 guys seeing what's going to happen with 345 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,920 the state. I'd hate to do something and 346 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,040 then six months all of a sudden it's 347 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,639 something else. 348 00:13:48,639 --> 00:13:52,800 >> So, and I really like consistency. 349 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,000 I'd love to see the state do something 350 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,959 that way if we do something and two 351 00:13:58,959 --> 00:14:01,440 towns over doesn't, 352 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,199 you know, they only have to go two towns 353 00:14:03,199 --> 00:14:07,519 over. I love, you know, consistency. Get 354 00:14:07,519 --> 00:14:11,040 it out of the entire state. So, I agree 355 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,880 with you guys on it. 356 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,160 >> I think, you know, my one concern would 357 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,480 be is if this drags on for another year, 358 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,160 I think that's a huge concern, you know. 359 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,920 >> Yep. I I agree. 360 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,240 >> Yeah. But I think that if um it sounds 361 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,320 like these these um bills are moving 362 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,800 along. So I'd like to at least give it a 363 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,320 little more time to see if they play out 364 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:29,839 because I agree with you Drew like we 365 00:14:29,839 --> 00:14:31,040 need to be consistent and I don't want 366 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,079 to come up with something that's more 367 00:14:32,079 --> 00:14:34,480 stringent within Situit that the state 368 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,240 maybe doesn't agree with or other towns 369 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:37,600 don't agree with and you're right I mean 370 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:43,040 people can easily drive other places and get it. So, um, so I think I'm I'm 371 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,199 good in a holding pattern for now and, 372 00:14:45,199 --> 00:14:47,760 um, just to keep it on the agenda as we 373 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:48,959 learn more about the how the 374 00:14:48,959 --> 00:14:51,360 legislaturator's doing. 375 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:52,480 >> Okay. 376 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,519 >> Yeah, I I agree.

We 449 00:17:49,679 --> 00:17:53,280 have had one in a neighboring town. I 450 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,640 believe it was Cohasset. I'm not 100% 451 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:01,039 sure, but we have had many positive West 452 00:18:01,039 --> 00:18:03,039 Nile pools 453 00:18:03,039 --> 00:18:05,679 within uh Plymouth County. We haven't 454 00:18:05,679 --> 00:18:09,360 had any triple E in Plymouth County and 455 00:18:09,360 --> 00:18:12,559 we've had no human cases in Plymouth 456 00:18:12,559 --> 00:18:15,360 County. So, make sure that you get rid 457 00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:17,840 of any standing water. Not that we've 458 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,679 had a lot with all the heat that we've 459 00:18:19,679 --> 00:18:22,080 had lately, but you know, get rid of any 460 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,240 standing water and make sure you're when 461 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,000 you're out at dusk or dawn that you have 462 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,679 mosquito repellent on with DE. 463 00:18:29,679 --> 00:18:33,360 and make sure all your screen doors and 464 00:18:33,360 --> 00:18:36,080 make sure you wear long sleeves and long 465 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,400 pants during those early morning and 466 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,520 late evening hours. We've also been 467 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,679 testing our beaches. All of the beaches 468 00:18:43,679 --> 00:18:46,160 have been fine so far. We haven't had to 469 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,440 close any. We did have one high test 470 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,320 come in on Peggy and when it retested, 471 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,960 it came back less than 10. So, because 472 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:56,559 it was not two in a row, it did not 473 00:18:56,559 --> 00:18:59,679 require a closing. So, we were thrilled 474 00:18:59,679 --> 00:19:01,280 that all the beaches have been open, 475 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:02,720 especially with this hot weather that 476 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,400 we've had. I know they've all been 477 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,080 mobbed, and I can't believe the number 478 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:07,679 of people I've seen in the water this 479 00:19:07,679 --> 00:19:10,160 year. 480 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,160 And uh also, we just finished up uh 481 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,120 Heritage Day.

No 483 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,000 issues at all, as did the KC Carnival, 484 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,520 which was back on July 10th.

I drove by about 11 o'clock 489 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,039 and you could still you see the smoke 490 00:19:41,039 --> 00:19:42,960 coming out of the two huge smokers they 491 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,880 have, Joan.
