Board notes septic system limits bedroom expansion for 13 Brook Road
Summary
Board members warned that septic design and approvals are tied to bedroom counts; converting a loft into an additional bedroom may require sewer/septic upgrades and reassessment before occupancy limits can change.
Board members told the applicant that septic systems are a limiting factor because permits and system design are based on the number of bedrooms. One committee member said septic approvals depend on bedroom count and that any increase in bedrooms could require upgrades.
The applicant acknowledged that conversion would likely require reassessment and that the sewer/septic implications could be costly. The board flagged this as a constraint if the owner later seeks to change the official bedroom count.
