RE: 23 Edgewater Drive - Nitrate Restriction
Dear Director Murphy,
I represent Mr. Donald Gauch, of 23 Edgewater Drive, South Yarmouth
(formerly assessors map 81 parcel B4, now map 92 parcel 9). In 1992, the owners
were issued the disposal works construction permit for their home with the
restriction that it contain only three bedrooms based upon the then applicable
Nitrate Regulations . A restriction memorializing this limitation was recorded in
the Registry of Deeds in Book 8032 at Page 20 ( copy enclosed). We now
understand that these particular regulations no longer apply and that the restriction
may be removed. The system was installed with the capacity for four bedrooms,
and it has recently been inspected and found to be in satisfactory condition ( see
Title 5 Inspection report enclosed). We request that the Board of Health issue a
release of the recorded restriction so that the home may contain the fourth bedroom
that is desired by the owner. If you wish us to appear before the Board for purposes
of this request, please advise. If you or the Board need any additional information
about the property, please contact me at your convenience.
Thank you for your assistance and attention to this request.
Vegily urs,
David S. Rei
