5.10 BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING MARCH 25, 1986 The regular meeting of the Board of Health was held Tuesday, March 25, 1986 at 7:15 p.m. in Room G-15 of the Town Office Building. Members present were: James W. Lambie, Chairman; Dr. Donald Goldmann, Dr. Howard B. Asarkof, Goerge A. Smith, Jr., Health Director; and Jacqueline H. Selway, Sanitarian. Minutes of the January and February meetings were approved as read by the Board of Health. TREETOPS OF Treetops of Lexington Health Care came before the Board to explain what LEXINGTON type of facilities they plan to construct if the Planning & Building Depart- ments give them the permits to build. Dennis Sargent, Jim Paino of Treetops and Frank Miller, Health Admin- istrator came before the Board and brought with them a slide show of all the facilities they plan to build if they are able to continue with this project. They have a big drawback - there is only one exit from the the property and there has to be two. They have talked to the Elks and have tried to buy the up front property but to no avail. They said if the situation does not change and they cannot obtain a second exit they will have to find another site somewhere else out of town, for this project. After further discussion, Mr. Sargent, Mr. Paino and Mr. Miller thanked the Board of Health and retired. MALFUNCTION- Mr. Huang and his wife of 22 Mason Street came before the Board at Mr. MING SEPTIC Huang's request for a hearing in regard to his rental property at 31 James SYSTEM Street, Lexington. 'JAMES ST. The Health Director has received complaints from the tenant in regard to the malfunctioning septic system and that the yard was all mushy. He said there had been a problem with the system from time to time for several years but there never was a permanent soluction at that time because there was no sewer on the street. The town has since put town sewer on the street and the house at 31 James Street could and should be connected. Mark Rolsema, the tenant, and Jill Langton of 21 Rangeway and Mr. Rolsema's next door neighbor came to the Board Meeting also and spoke of the problem of the malfunctioning septic system. Mr. Smith told the Board that he recommends the Board order Mr.Huang to tie the house at 31 James Street into the town sewer because the ground won't take any more affluent. If he doesn't want to tie in the Board should order Mr. Huang to put in a whole new septic system that could cost as much or more than tying into town sewer. It could be more expensive in the future. The Board all agreed Mr. Huang should tie into the town sewer and they would give him a couple of months to get his arrangements made and sewer tied in. They told Mr. Huang to get back to them in three or four weeks to let them know how things were going. The Board thanked everyone for coming into the Board Meeting. 1 1
