Present were Chairman, Frank Lynch and members Russell Clark and Michael Vazza. Also present was Director Jennifer Sullivan.

Motion by Russell Clark to accept the Agenda, seconded by Michael Vazza and approved unanimously.

7:10 p.m. 2 Foxvine Lane/Public Hearing/McSweeney

Terrence McSweeney of McSweeney Associates presented for the homeowner. There were no abutters present.

It has a 1700 sq. ft. lot, and wetlands in the rear yard. The design utilizes an Elgin GSF innovative component in the leach area, which then allows a 40% reduction in the size. The system is currently using a leach line in the common easement for Arborway Estates. This design puts the entire system on the same lot as the house.

Local upgrade variances requested are:

Sieve analysis in lieu of perc test and locating the septic tank only 4’ from the cellar wall vs. the 10’ required and SAS from cellar wall 8’ vs. 20’.

Motion by Russell Clark to approve upgrade request provided the existing force main is removed and capped at the property line. Frank Lynch seconded and the motion was unanimously approved.
