Joe DeGirolamo arrived at 7:08 pm. d. Shared Septic System: Wayside Estates: The attorney for Wayside Estates is in the process of completing the financial assurance document required for a shared septic system. In this agreement the Town would hold the money in escrow. Wayside would prefer not to have this arrangement. Scott recommended a Bond be issued with the Town of Mansfield as beneficiary. This project does not fall under the new regulation because it was filed before the new regulation was adopted.

A total of 40 units are planned for the site. Scott told the Board the planned units would require changing the zoning regulations. This project would fall under the new regulation, adopted October 11, 2007, prohibiting shared septic systems for new construction. Ray said the Board would not change the Board of Health regulation regarding shared septic systems for this project. e.
