MINUTES OF MEETING
SHARON BOARD OF HEALTH
February 22, 2010
A meeting of the Sharon Board of Health was held on Monday, February 22, 2010, beginning at 7:30 PM at the Sharon Town Office Building. In attendance were Stan Rosen, Chair, Andy Stead, Vice-Chair; Suzi Peck; and Jay Schwab. Also present was Jim Andrews, Health Agent for Engineering.
75 Beach St.
Jim Miller, P.E., and Nelson Brenner, homeowner, were present for a preliminary discussion re 75 Beach St. Three homes...currently occupied: one is a 2 bedroom; 2 are 3 bedrooms. Looking to replace septic systems with three systems for one property under the same ownership. Failed system at 75A Beach St. in 2006....not replaced...property occupied since then. At that time owner was looking to sell the property at 75A. Constrained by lot area. Proposing the “Drip Disposal System”...approved by DEP ...appropriate, according to applicants, for areas such as this. Would like to provide separate system for each home. Suzi Peck: would be more comfortable with one treatment system which is properly maintained - for 8 bedrooms on a small lot - in this sensitive area. Andy
Stead stated that the owner might be better served by caring for one system, rather than 3....would be less expensive in the long run. Mr. Brenner stated he has no immediate plans to sell the properties.....does have the option to turn them into condominiums. Property is in a surface water protection district.Stan Rosen suggested owner might reduce to two homes.
The Board foresaw no problem with the drip technology.
Paul and Fred Bisceglia re: 57 Walpole Street
New owners of property; want to tear down home and replace; new septic system was installed in 2006; ZBA appointment scheduled for March 10th. 10,000 square foot lot – will require variances for new construction. Currently 3 bedrooms - to propose 3 bedrooms. Working with architect on plans. Wouldn’t be able to reuse the existing system. Current system, done as a repair in 2006, is only 8' from the home.....would be able to get to 20'. Suzi Peck: first hurdle would be to prove the new home would contain only 3 bedrooms.... deed restriction would be required. Stan Rosen stated that every situation is different....need to look at the plan in its entirety. Applicants to provide plans for the BOH in preparation for the next meeting...March 8th.
Stan Rosen noted that a vote for chair/vice-chair should be taken on March 8th. The last vote was taken on March 9th....unless there are members absent; in which case the vote would be delayed until there is a full board present.
Linda Rosen updated the Board on the reception by residents of the availability of additional various vaccines for adults...free of charge. There have been about a dozen residents, to date, taking advantage of the Zostavax (shingles) vaccine free of charge.
Minutes of meeting of February 8, 2010
VOTED: (Schwab/Rosen) unanimously to accept the minutes of the meeting, as amended.
Jim Andrews suggested that the BOH develop a formula to determine the number of bedrooms in proposed new construction.
