Jean Bryant-variance request for 162 Owl Pond Road(Leaching Facility Setback Regulation) t Jean Bryant,owner and Paul Bryant,son of owner were present. They are requesting to keep the SAS in its current location. Dr.Chaffee asked why inspection was done, Mr, Bryan stated that right now it is needed for a reverse mortgage,but eventually down the line the house could be sold. Mrs. Ice pointed out that the regulation states"real estate transfer"so the regulation does not apply to this. Mr. Bryant stated that he would like to get the variance because it may be sold if a reverse mortgage does not come through. Mr. Ford stated that the system is over 20 years old and the board may want a new system put in, Dr.Scherzo asked how many bedrooms. Mr, Bryant stated that currently it is 4 bedrooms. Dr.Scherzo stated that the system was designed for a 3 bedroom. Mrs.Ice stated that the capacity in the ground was 440 gallons but approved capacity is only for 3 bedrooms. This creates a problem for the Board. j Dr.Scherzo mentioned that there is only about 5'of separation to groundwater. Mr. Bryant stated that they are only using 13,000 gallons of water every 6 months. It is way below what it is designed for.

Mr.Gallagher stated that he is not ready to vote to approve the variance right now. He did visit the site and noted that not only is Owl pond there, but across the street is Vesper pond. So the further you get away from Owl pond,the closer you get to vesper pond. If there is no RET, nothing needs to be done at this time. Dr. Chaffee explained to Mr. Bryant about Title 5 and that hiring an engineer would show you what you have for options. Mr. Bryant asked if there was a new leaching field put in,would the board be ok with it. Dr.Scherzo stated that more than likely it would be approved. Motion:Continue this indefinitely.

Discuss addition of fine amounts to I/A Monitoring Regulation Dr.Scherzo stated that there is no time included in the regulation with regards to fines. Mr. Gallagher would prefer to see a scale. Thinks a fine of$30/$60/$90/$120 with sixty day intervals would be appropriate. Should be capped at a number that is higher than the average contract. Start by giving a letter then if in 60 days they don't come into compliance,the first fine will start. Mrs. Ice will make the changes and bring back before the Board. 16.
