following variances are being requested:

2. To allow the reserve SAS to be 92' from Schoolhouse Pond
Mrs. Hughes asked what the groundwater flow was and if the SAS was perpendicular to the flow. Mr. Lajoie state that depth to
groundwater was between 20-30 feet and the flow he believes may be flowing towards the pond. He stated that lie was not sure if it
was and asked what the significance of having the SAS perpendicular was. Mrs. Hughes stated that the consultant for the
Comprehensive Water Planning Committee has recommended it. Mrs. Hughes asked if it would be possible for him to turn the SAS
so that it would be perpendicular. He stated that lie would need variances from the side lines and also a Title 5 variance would be
necessary.
Mr. Skidmore and Dr.Chaffee believe that the proposed system would give better treatment than what is there currently.
Motion: Finding that there is no increase in flow, better treatment is offered,distance to groundwater is substantial and the systernn is
being placed as far from the pond as possible, approve the variance request.
Motion: Joanne Hughes Second: Dr. Scherzo Vote: 4-0-0 Action: Motion carried
