LANCASTER — The Board of Health approves ADU septic variance for 172 Sterling Road. Chair Jeffrey Paster, member Sheila Roach-Mallette, and member Mackenzie Maloney voted unanimously in favor. The property owner sought the variance to avoid an intrusive water line extension; state Title V septic code permits such relief.
The Board reviewed Title V inspection results for 16 properties, documenting one septic failure at 289 Sterling Road requiring a two-year upgrade, and initiated investigations into a smoking complaint from a Bigelow Gardens resident and a rat issue at 405 Main Street.
