185 BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING December 5, 1952 A special meeting of the Board of Health was held on Friday evening, December 5, 1952 at 8:00 P. M. Chairman McQiillan, Dr. Cosgrove and Mr. Russell were present. Mr. Jackson, Health Sanitarian, was also present and kept a record of the meeting. Mr. James Carrig, Mr. Robert Carrig and Mr. Wilbur Nylander appeared before the Board relative to Sections I and III, Minute Man Highlands subdivision. Carrig; We like Chapter 134, Acts of 1952; it protects people by making sure that there is proper drainage. We do not want the buyer to be turned down by the Building Department or the Board of Health. We engaged Whitman & Howard, consulting Engineers, to investigate and make recommendations on any lots where poor soil or poor drainage is a problem. Here is a copy of the Engineers' report which we will leave permanently with the Board. Also there is a plan for each lot, a copy of which will be given o ;the buyer with his agreement, and the Board of Health will have a copy. McQuillan: If we approve each lot with the provision that plans are followed, will the Planning Board accept this? Carrig: By filing these plans with the Board of Health, the Board has complete control and does not have to pass the systems unless each person complies with the plan. McQuillan: We might pass Section III provided certain conditions are met. Carrig: We ask you to pass the subdivision as a whole. The Board of Health retains control of all lots that need special attention. McQuillan: We could Okay Section III with the Planning Board and tell them the conditions of the Okay. In.other situations we have told the seller that he must remedy the situation before the sale. Russell: He would bring all lots up to grade. Carrig: We have made an agreement with Greenough Bros., Contractors, to do all drainage work before the streets are completed. This would include connections from the typical leaching bed to the drain. McQuillan: When we give our approval we want to be assured that the buyers of the lots know con- ditions before the sale. The Board of Health needs protection as there is no sewer near.
