1 1 July 6, 1981 Mr. Francis W. K. Smith 49 North Hancock Street Lexington, Massachusetts 02173 RE: REQUEST FOR VARIANCE TO REDUCE THE LEACHING AREA FOR A SUBSURFACE SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEM - LOT A & C CLEMATIS ROAD - PLAN DATED AUGUST 1980 BY MILLER AND NYLANDER Dear Mr. Smith: At its regular meeting on June 8, 1981 the Lexington Board of Health reviewed your request to reduce the size (leaching area) for the above referenced subsurface(septic) system plan which was previously approved by the Board of Health in September of 1980. As the Board of Health understands this request, it is made based on the fact that municipal sanitary sewerage which was anticipated has not yet been constructed as of this date and your request is necessary to facilitate occupancy. After reviewing your situation in consultation with the Town Engineering Department it was voted to approve your request for a variance with the following conditions: 1. Application for a permit to construct a subsurface (septic) sewage disposal system be made prior to any construction on this system. (Application enclosed) 2. A copy of the new plan showing changes be submitted for approval. (A new plan has already been submitted by your contractor) 3. That the area for construction be the same as originally approved and that the system be constructed in such a way that should it be necessary to construct the system as originally designed and approved the new design will not impede construction. 4. That this house be connected to municipal sewerage as soon as practicable after municipal sewerage becomes available. 5. That the system as originally designed and approved be completed should a premature failure of the revised plan (system) occur. 6. That the system be constructed as originally designed and approved if it becomes apparent that municipal sewerage will not be made available to service your house. (The status of municipal sewerage is to be reviewed with you at 12 month increments until such time as your house is connected to municipal sewerage or the system is constructed as originally designed and approved. 7. That if your property should be sold that the status of municipal sewerage and/or construction of the originally designed system be re-evaluated. 8. That this variance is not transferable without approval of the Board of Health.
