Members present were: Dr. William L. Cosgrove, Chairman; James W. Lambie, Dr. Charles Ellicott and Robert C. Heustis, Director of Public Health. The minutes of the September 10, 1973 meeting were approved as read. 492 The final regulations governing the Agriculture Land Im- provement Project for Ralph Cataldo, 81 Bow Street, was dis- cussed by the Board. Dr. Cosgrove explained that Mr. Cataldo had requested that CATALDO'S the permit state that any member of his family could carry on LAND FILL the project in case something happened to him. Dr. Cosgrove said he would agree to let the permit pass to Ralph's wife or son but not to other members of the family such as one of the brothers. Mr. Lambie said according to the regulations this permit had to be renewed every 12 months. Dr. Cosgrove said he agreed that the permit had to be re- newed every 12 months but we had given Mr. Cataldo a letter approving the project for a period of 3 years to give to the Town of Arlington. Dr. Ellicott said no matter how the permit is worded we still have the power to revoke this permit if there is any violation to these regulations. Mr. Heustis said he thought if the permit was issued in both Mr. Cataldo's name and his wife's name that would cover the immediate family. Dr. Ellicott said not with standing this permit is non- transferable and therefore must be renewed every year according to our Rules and Regulations, Chapter IV, section 6. Mr. Cataldo had also requested a starting time change from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. because Arlington Public Works Department starts to work at 7:00 a.m. This was approved. The Board approved these changes and the permit will be granted to Mr. Cataldo for his Agricultural Land Improvement Project at 81 Bow Street under the following conditions: (1.) The operation shall be conducted Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (2.) Trucks shall be covered and protected. (3.) The access road shall be secured so that only authorized vehicles may enter. (4.) The fill material shall be graded at least once a week after being placed on site. (5.)

To the extent possible the cell method of land fill shall be used in order that the amount of area excavated at any one time may not exceed 30,000 square feet. (7.) Dust and erosian measures shall be used as needed. (8.) Bench marks shall be established so that the depth and extent of fill may be easily determined. (9.) Only clean fill, free of offensive material, paper and trash, shall be allowed. (10.) A plan shall be filed with the Board of Health and will show a finished grade of at least twelve inches of loam ex- tending to the bottom of the slope and the slope shall be seeded. (11.)

(14.) The permit is issued for the purpose of agricultural land improvement only and shall be non -transferable and shall im- mediately expire if the use of the land for agriculture purposes is discontinued. Mr. Heustis reported that a letter had been received from MASON - the County Commissioners which stated that they would sustain MacDONALD the ruling of the Board of Health in the case of Russell B. Mason and Walter MacDonald horse hearing held September 19, 1973 at the County Commissioners Office. Dr. Cosgrove reported that he and Mr. Heustis had checked the Battle Green Inn twice since the last Board Meeting and conditions were very bad. He said they have started to clean a:nd paint BATTLE but they were not moving as fast as he thought they should. GREEN INN Mr. DeVries said he would do 4 rooms at a time but with only one man working this procedure c()uld take quite a long time. He went on to say there was no xageration with the con- ditions in the kitchen, but the hot water booster had been in- stalled. Mr. DeVries had fired the manager and hired a new manager. Mr. Hanafin, the new manager, told Dr. Cosgrove he was a restaurant man more than a hotel man. Dr. Cosgrove said he felt they were not making much progress and after talking with Mr. O'Connell he felt the Board should set 494 FLU CLINIC a reasonable time for Mr. DeVries to get this place cleaned up. Dr. Cosgrove said he felt a reaonable time was ninety days, then the Board could see how much of the job Mr. DeVries had done and if he was sincerely trying to get this work done an extension could be granted. Mr. Heustis said he would take the memo sent to the Board listing the things that had to be done and send a letter to Mr. DeVries stating that he had ninety days to make the corrections. The Board approved this action. The Flu Clinic for the citizens 65 years of age or older was discussed and it was agreed that the Clinic would be run in conjunction with the Town Employee Clinic on October 18 and November 1, 1973. A notice with a rear off registration blank will be mailed to all members of the senior citizen group, an ad will also be placed in the paper. It was agreed that if any of the senior citizens attending the Well Elderly Clinic could not attend the clinics at Cary Hall provisions would be made to take care of them at the Well Elderly Clinics, this information would not be advertised. L.V. N. A. The request from the Lexington Visiting Nurse Association BUDGET for a $2500.00 increase in payment of services to the Board of Health was discussed. Dr. Ellicott stated that the L.V.N.A. would be going up on their costs per visits and also there was no indication that the Trustee of public Trusts would give the Health Department any funds for the Well Elderly Clinic for another year so that was considered in this increase. A number of questions were asked about the services and the sources of referral. After a short discussion it was agreed to ask Mrs. Tapier and Mr. Frank Totman to attend our next meeting to discuss this $2500.00 increase. SUBDIVISION The premiminary plan of a subdivision entitled "Farmhurst" "FARMHURST" off Bridge Street. Mr. Heustis reported that this subdivision will have public water and sewer but the Board of Health will be concerned with the drainage. The plan submitted did not have enough information shown on the plan therefore he will have to request that the developer submit more information regarding the drainage and also a plan showing the finished grades. MEDAS Mr. Lambie said he thought Mr. Heustis should check out ANIMAL the horse stable located in the Lexington -Waltham line. He PERMIT said there was new buildings being built in that area and he wondered if these would not make a difference in the keeping of the horses there.
