Duly adopted this 6th day of June, 2016, by the following vote: AYES: Mr. Metivier, Mr. Clements, Mr. Irish, Mr. VanNess, Mr. Strough NOES: None ABSENT: None BOARD OF HEALTH MICHAEL SHEARER'S APPLICATION FOR SEWAGE DISPOSAL VARIANCE NOTICE SHOWN REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 06-06-2016,MTG#18 498 PUBLICATION DATE: MAY 20, 2016 SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Okay, is there a representative for Michael Shearer's application for sanitary sewage disposal? All right, identify yourselves for the record, please. BOB HOLMES, AGENT- Good evening, my name is Bob Holmes. I'm with Jarrett Engineers in Glens Falls. Joining me is Gabby and Mike Shearer. We are obviously here before you seeking some relief and asking for variances for the placement for a new onsite wastewater system. Briefly, the variances we're seeking is separation to property lines, one from the leach bed and obviously one from the basil fill limit; and the third one we are seeking is actually to the side slopes. Instead of a three (3) on one (1) slope from what the code request, we're asking from a two (2) on one (1) slope. Councilman VanNess, this is the drawing that I will need to revise. COUNCILMAN VANNESS- Right. This is the one, I know Doug and I did a visit and I know that John went up. I think Brian, did you go up today, Tony? COUNCILMAN CLEMENTS- I went up today, yeah. COUNCILMAN METIVIER- I went up. COUNCILMAN VANNESS- Okay, when we went up we discussed there was a shed involved in this one here and we talked about that. The first thing I want to say is I'm glad to see these coming back away from the Lake. I think that's important to all of us and important to everyone up there; obviously, important to you as well. But it's an improvement that it's moving back away from the Lake. We have discussed about putting a fourth variance in here, moving the septic tank back a little further from the Lake, making it closer to the road. I know that you were going to discuss that with them to see how they felt about it. I'll let you take it from there. MR. HOLMES- We had discussed that and they seemed to be willing to entertain that, they actually liked the idea; if it can help save them from having to move their shed. Just one clarification Councilman, is we're moving the leach field not the septic tank. COUNCILMAN VANNESS- Right, right. I'm sorry, correct. MR. HOLMES- And what we would be looking at is instead of the ten (10) foot setback from the driving surface of the roadway, we'd be looking to have a four (4) foot setback to the roadway instead of ten (10). COUNCILMAN VANNESS- And I think that's what Counsel was looking for to see what the measurement was. So, we can add that, Bob, as number four (4), to be a four (4) foot setback from the road driving surface. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- I think all we need to change is the first item. Is that right, Bob, where it says leach field to be five (5) foot nine (9) inches from property line instead of the required ten (10) foot? We would just change leach bed to be four (4) foot from property line. MR. HOLMES- That's the side lot. TOWN COUNSEL, ROBERT HAFNER- That's an "and", it would be an "and" I think. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- And... TOWN COUNSEL, HAFNER- And four (4) feet from road boundary instead of the required ten (10) feet. COUNCILMAN VANNESS- Correct. COUNCILMAN IRISH- We didn't see any, when Billy and I were up there, we didn't see any real need to move that shed if we could move the leach field further away from the Lake. That would probably save you a little bit of money. So that was probably a good alternative. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Yeah. REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 06-06-2016,MTG#18 499 TOWN COUNSEL, HAFNER- It's farther away from the Lake... SUPERVISOR STROUGH- I think you're right. Okay. TOWN COUNSEL, HAFNER- I made that change. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- So, leach bed will be five (5) foot nine (9) from the property line and four (4) foot from the road boundary instead of the required ten (10) foot setback. Mound and basil limit will be one (1) foot four (4) inches from property line instead of the required ten (10) foot and mound system fill side slope will be two (2) to one (1) instead of the required three (3) to one (1). MR. HOLMES- Correct. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- And you're putting a pureflow system in? MR. HOLMES- Correct. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Which is a nice upgrade. Does the applicant have anything additional to say? Does the Town Board have any further questions before I open this up to the public hearing? COUNCILMAN METIVIER- I do have a question. I looked online. Did you recently purchase the property? GABBY SHEARER- No. MICHAEL SHEARER- We've been there since ninety seven (97). COUNCILMAN METIVIER- Oh really, because that's not the name that was on our property locator online. I was just curious. All right, that ruins everything for me. I was going to ask you questions about the process because we're working on something, but if you've owned it then it wouldn't help me so. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Okay, stay there and I'll ask you to move if a member of the public wants to come up and speak to this sanitary sewage disposal variance request. Is there any member of the public that wishes to speak to this application? There is so if you would, please, have a seat and I'll ask you to come back in a minute. Ron, come on up. RON BALL- I didn't catch the address of the place but I understand it's near the Lake. What's the road they're going to be encroaching? SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Russell Harris Road. MR. BALL- Russell Harris Road. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Yeah. COUNCILMAN VANNESS- Do you know where Lake George Boat Company is? MR. BALL- Yes I do. COUNCILMAN VANNESS- Okay,just before Lake George Boat Company it tees off to the left hand side and it goes along the shoreline quite a distance up from the shore, Ron. MR. BALL- Okay. COUNCILMAN VANNESS- On Russell Harris Road. What they're doing is moving them from where they are now that are several feet closer to the Lake, this system is going to come back several feet... MR. BALL- Is it a private road or is it a Town road? COUNCILMAN VANNESS- Town Road. REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 06-06-2016,MTG#18 500 COUNCILMAN METIVIER- It's a road by use. COUNCILMAN VANNESS- Road by use. MR. BALL- So when you say four (4) feet from the road is that measurement taken from the center of the road or what's the width of the road? SUPERVISOR STROUGH- From the boundary, the edge of the road. MR. BALL- A property boundary. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- From the edge of the road. MR. BALL- So his property boundary, he's going to be back... SUPERVISOR STROUGH- And you're not talking about the filtration bed itself. MR. BALL, Right, that's right. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- You're talking about the mounding and the tethering of the mounding. MR. BALL- Right. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- And it's the very end of the tether that happens to be encroaching on the ten (10) foot. The filtration system itself is further inland. MR. BALL- Okay. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- But, yet, far enough away from the Lake. COUNCILMAN VANNESS- But because it's a mound system... MR. BALL- Right, yeah, right, and I know that it's a very... COUNCILMAN IRISH- And I think, and Bob correct me if I'm wrong, I don't even think we know what's in there now, it could be just a pit for all we know. MR. HOLMES- As far as we know. COUNCILMAN IRISH- So it's really a better alternative to... MR. BALL- Is it going to be a larger system than what was there or is it going to be the same size or... COUNCILMAN IRISH- It will be sized for the house, correct, for whatever... COUNCILMAN VANNESS- It's a requirement size, right. MR. HOLMES- Sized for the house. COUNCILMAN VANNESS- For the Code... COUNCILMAN IRISH- It's not oversized. COUNCILMAN VANNESS- But the problem we've got Ron, we don't know what's in it, and we don't know if it's a septic tank, cesspool, whatever. MR. BALL- Yep. REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 06-06-2016,MTG#18 501 COUNCILMAN VANNESS- And that's the stuff we're working on with Jim Mackey to find out. This is going to be a plus for us. There's going to be three (3) or four (4) more properties. In fact, Bob was telling us that there may be another property right next door that's going to be doing almost the same thing. That was something he was working on the same day we were up there doing a visitation. It's quite an improvement. MR. BALL- So the last question I have for you, it's a mound system. What would that be compared to the ...what would be the extreme height of the mound to the ...? SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Yeah, well I think it's two (2) feet but Bob will answer that. I'll ask him when he comes back. MR. BALL- Okay, all right, that's all. COUNCILMAN VANNESS- Thanks, Ron. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Any other member of the public wish to speak to the Mike Shearer application for sanitary sewage disposal variance? Seeing none, will the applicants and the agent please return to the table. Bob, above the... MR. HOLMES- Above existing grade, the overall height of the system is going to be in the neighborhood of four (4) feet. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Four(4) feet, okay. COUNCILMAN IRISH- But that will be a gradual mound correct? It's not just going to be... MR. HOLMES- Yeah, I mean, obviously we've got a little bit of stone retaining wall we're going to try to, you know, dress it up a little bit and then we're going to have a little bit steeper slopes compared to the Code. Remember it's going to be two (2) on one (1) instead of three (3) on one (1). That's just going to allow us to keep a bit more compact footprint, given the space we have available. So, hopefully it will solve what space we have available... there's not a lot there. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Okay. MR. HOLMES- We're going to utilize what we can. COUNCILMAN VANNESS- Does that answer, Ron? MR. BALL- Yes. COUNCILMAN VANNESS- Okay, thank you. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Okay, is there anyone willing to bring the Resolution forward? I'll close the public hearing. Anybody want... COUNCILMAN METIVIER- I'll introduce. TOWN COUNSEL, HAFNER- Did you introduce it as amended? COUNCILMAN METIVIER- Oh, as amended. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- As amended, seconded as amended by Councilman Irish.
