Board approves front-deck replacement at 23 Beach Plum Lane with standard health conditions
Summary
James and Leona Gaeta’s plan to replace a front deck with a breezeway and dining area at 23 Beach Plum Lane was approved; the property’s existing IA septic system and prior variances were noted and the board attached deed-recording, monitoring and O&M conditions.
John O'Reilly represented James and Leona Gaeta in a proposal to replace a front deck at 23 Beach Plum Lane with a breezeway and dining area. He told the board the property already has an IA septic system with prior approvals and that the planned additions would place new elements in the front of the building on sonotubes so as not to conflict with the tank and leaching facility setbacks.
The board discussed whether town-water connection should be recommended; O'Reilly said bringing in town water was not in the owner's budget and the board did not require it. The board approved the project with the typical conditions: deed recording noting board-of-health conditions, secondary treatment and monitoring under DEP general-use approvals (including quarterly or semiannual sampling as appropriate), an operation and maintenance contract for the life of the system, and final inspections as required.
Why it matters: The item is a routine property modification on a sensitive lot. The board emphasized ongoing monitoring and deed-recording to ensure septic-system performance and compliance with previous variances.
