Environmental Health Update /Reports Plumbing Variance Request for 3 Forbes Road - Cody informed the Board that Anthony Staffier, Plumbing Designer for AHA Consulting Engineers has requested a letter from the Board of Health to support or not support the variance request to Sections 10.06 and 10.09 of the Plumbing Code requiring approved materials to be located within the footprint of the structure and requiring a second gas /sand interceptor to the State Board of Examiners of Plumbers & Gasfitters. Cody introduced Staffier who provided an overview of the project at 3 Forbes Rd. Staffier advised the Board that the existing parking lot has a drainage system that currently discharges through a separator. The design intent for the elevated parking deck is to bring the new deck drains into the existing site drainage system, and leave the lower level site drainage as is, thus the reasoning for the variance request. After a discussion, Perlmutter motioned that the Lexington Board of Health supports the variance request from the requirement of materials to be located within the footprint of the structure and the requirement of a second gas /sand interceptor as noted in Sections 10.06 and 10.09 of MGL c 142 § 13.
