ADMINISTRATION
Brad Banner, Health Services Director went over the types of situations with septic permits related
to building permits according to the newest draft of the "Environmental Health Building Permit
Review Requirements". Mr. Banner gave several examples when people would need to up-grade
septic systems under certain types of permits, Ex: remodels, expansions, up-grading, new
construction, shorelines, non-shorelines, etc. Board Member Porter was concerned of the problem
of people adding onto their residence and claiming bedrooms as other (sewing room, office space,
etc.) to avoid this policy. The question was asked, could a certain percentage of construction be used
to make this determination and avoid naming the rooms? Mr. Banner felt that 20% could be used
which is the same percentage used for non-shoreline expansions. Planning uses the rule and if the
expansion was on shorelines it would be an automatic up-grade in septic systems.
A question was brought up by Mr. Banner about the fees being assessed for Environmental Health
Review. He felt that possibly his dept. was not charging enough for this permit review. Board
Member Porter commented that in the past Mike Byrne had outlined the review fees, and instead of
the customer making out three or four checks they would write out one check and the money would
be divided accordingly. Mr. Banner said he would talk to Mr. Byme about this.
ADJOURNED
It was moved and seconded by Board Members Porter/Faughender that the meeting be adjourned at
5:00PM. The motion passed unanimously
