Board approves septic variances to permit ADU at 259 Hines Point
Summary
The Board of Health granted variances from coastal-district separation requirements to upgrade a septic system and increase flow to support an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) at 259 Hines Point; applicants and their architect said lot constraints prevent meeting standard separation distances.
The Board of Health approved variances allowing an upgraded disposal works plan and increased flow for an accessory dwelling unit at 259 Hines Point, following a presentation by Tracey Smith of Schofield, Barbini & Hoehn and architect Jeffrey White.
Tracey Smith explained that separation requirements in the coastal district could not be met because of the property's location on Hines Point. The board voted to grant the requested variances by motion of Commissioner Malcolm Boyd, seconded by Commissioner Dr. George Santos; the approval was unanimous.
The minutes record the relief granted but do not include engineering-detail excerpts or specific flow numbers in the transcript. The approval permits the homeowners to proceed with the proposed system upgrade subject to any standard permitting conditions and engineering plans required by the Health Agent.
