Mr. and Mrs. Willis offered to include in their leases a requirement that the building’s residents and the shopkeeper park their cars in the lot behind the building, thus freeing the spaces in front for customers.
After hearing concerns from councilman William Wickens about problems with the septic field at the rear of the property, former owner Nina Norman told the council that the problems had been traced to malfunctioning septic systems owned by Dr. Krebser and The Inn at Little Washington. The Willis’s told the council that sanitarian Jack Lockhart had inspected the field and certified it to ee adequate.
“I have a problem,” Mr. Wickens said, “with accepting Jack Lockhart’s word. Mrs. Willis is the one who told me that he approved the soil on her Wheeler St. property by walking over the wrong field.”
“No,” Mrs. Willis retorted, “I absolutely did not say that.”
“Do you have a problem with certification by an independent soil consultant?” Mr. Wickens asked.
“If Mr. Wickens has a problem with Mr. Lockhart than he should put it on paper and go through the state Health Department with his complaint. But until he is removed from his job I think we should accept his certification as valid.”
After accepting conditions on the special use permit, including limiting the apartments to six full-time residents, a limit of two shops, a sign directing customers to the parking lot at the rear, a lease clause requiring tenants to park in the rear, and a lease clause with their consent to be towed if the park in front of the building, the council approved the special use permit by a vote of 5-1, with Mr. Wickens voting against it and Mrs. Willis abstaining.
