MEMO
TO: John Creney,Ariy.
FROM: Robert C.Lawton,Jr.��
Town Administrator
SUBJECT: Water from an Abutting Lot
DATE: March 5, 1997
�
We have received the enclosed letter from Mr. William Gagnon of 99 Old Main Street i
concerning the allegation that water from a neighbors lot is going onto his lot.
I have spoken to Forrest White and he indicates to me he is unsure as to what legal steps j
he can take to assist in resolving this issue. I am aware that the Board of Health has a '
regulation which requires that water from a particular parcel may not flow onto another ;
parcel at the time a building permit is issued. I am unsure as to the enforceability of this -�
rules after that date.
My question would be are you aware of any general law which prohibits water from
going from one lot to another? Secondly, is this matter a civil matter or is it a matter for
the building/health departments to resolve? i

Dear Mr . 1�hite: - ;
Since we last communicated wi.th �you concerning
Mr . Rolli 's property on Carrie La�e adjacent to our �f
' yard, he has evidently installed a lov► retaining item i
of several boards of about a foot in heig�it whieh he [
has braced and nailed to our fence to prevent his i
graded backyard from coming through our fenee (instead
of regrading his lot) . Sand and dirt - and small rocks
continue to wash tMrough this barrier proving that his �
ru�-off is coming into our yard and we would �l-iFce you
to come --ovEr and look at it . He has also b�i1t a per-
manent structure onto the back of his house--a deck of
railroad tie5 or treated bea.ms filled i� u�ith what looks
like gravel , which may be closer to the lot line than
allowed .
He has also installed an outdoor 5ho�er on the
back of his hou�e and we wonder if the run-off from
this is channelled into his dry we�ls as mi�ght be re-
quired by the Board of Health conditions under which
he was workir�g? �_ _ � � � ;�
;
Thank you in advanee for looking i-nto this, and
please le�. us know what you find.
Sincerely,
William N . Gagnon '

RE: 7 � Carrie Lane ( lot 2�) � i
South Yarmouth
Dear Mr . Murphy:
On February 26 , 1988, a representative of this office witnessed ;
the changes made to the rear of the above property to stab�ilize
the fill behind the dwelling . It appears that the timber wall �
built along the rear fence is sufficient to prevent significant
soil erosion from the lot, as required by the Board of Health . ,
If you have any questions or require further information , please '
contact me at my office, telephone 394-1265 .
Very truly yours ,
