After a discussion by the Board, Mayor Cohen moved to continue the appeal until the October 17, 2005 Board of Health in order to receive additional information on: (1) easement issues, and (2) to allow more time for discussion between the designer and the on-site reviewer to address the soil profile and how that affects the design of the septic system.
