PUBLIC HEARING— SEWAGE DISPOSAL VARIANCE APPLICATION OF
KATHERYN &DAVID MCMORROW
PUBLICATION DATE: JULY 15, 2016
PRESENT AGENT LUCAS DOBIE, HUTCHINS ENGINNERING
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-There is a public hearing on this tonight. You can stay right there
Lucas let me see if any member of the public wants to speak to this. If so I will ask you to sit
down for a minute then I will call you back up to respond to any public concerns there might be.
Is there any member of the public that wishes to speak to this sewage disposal variance
application? Yes there is. Lucas if you will please sit down for a minute we will see what the
concerns are and will address those.
JASON GOTTLIEB, 389 CLEVERDALE ROAD, QUEENSBURY-I am actually speaking in
support of this project. I want to recognize the great precedent that this will be setting given that
this is within a hundred (100) feet from the road. I think the fact that they are using great
technology to utilize this. I think it makes tremendous sense that....before thinking and take this
as an opportunity to let homeowners that have problems, such as this with tired septic tanks, with
homeowners before...they fail in utilizing this great technology. We are fully in support of this
approach. It is important to point out that there are other approaches that are very similar that
have been taken not so long ago that were declined so we are hoping that this is a path forward
for many of the other approaches that were taken that were not in effect supported.

JOHN SALVADOR, ALEXY LANE, QUEENSBURY-Spoke to the Board referring to the Book
of the Proceedings of the Warren County Board of Supervisors. Noted that it includes the Town
Budgets of every single Town and that the Town of Queensbury does not include the financing
of the Crandall Library in their budget, which is not included in this volume because we don't
include the Library in the Town Budget. Spoke to the Board regarding an Environmental
Conservation Law that goes back to 1972 that was adopted in anticipation of the State raising the
funds through a Bond Act to purchase wetlands. Spoke regarding a situation currently where the
Lake George Park Commission and the Town of Queensbury permitting through the issuance of
Mariana Operating Permits using these wetlands noting he has brought this to the Park
Commission's attention many times. Finds that the record is woefully incomplete at the Town on
how and when we did this. I have brought this to the attention of the Inspector General's Office.
They are currently looking at this.
7.0 TOWN BOARD DISCUSSIONS
COUNCILMAN METIVIER(WARD I)
• Attended the Grand Opening of the Eagle Flyer. Congratulated the Macchio Family on a
fantastic project.
COUNCILMAN CLEMENTS (WARD II)
• Transfer Law is moving along. Maybe next month we will have something we can show
to people.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH
• I could not make it to the Eagle Flyer because I was at the Fund for Lake George Annual
Meeting at the Sagamore Resort. I had to be there because I was accepting an additional
fifty five thousand dollars ($55,000) Grant dedicated to the North Queensbury
Wastewater Disposal District. For those who wanted to install new systems that they
could get up to half up to twelve thousand five hundred ($12,500) of the cost of installing
a new more efficient septic system. The Town is very thankful for that.
