Chair Robert Collett and members voted unanimously to grant relief from Title 5 standards for new systems at 11 Bryant Road and 37 Head of the Bay Road, with deed restrictions mandating three-bedroom and one-bedroom designations respectively, and authorized Collett to execute engagement letters for the upcoming Site Assignment process with Tighe & Bond, KP Law, and Hearing Officer John Shea. The board also granted a waiver allowing a four-bedroom septic system at 537 Scraggy Neck Road to continue operating if the garage room is designated as non-bedroom and used only in summer months.
