1.0 RESOLUTION ENTERING QUEENSBURY BOARD OF HEALTH
RESOLUTION NO. 104, 2017
INTRODUCED BY: Mr. Brian Clements
WHO MOVED FOR ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY: Mr. Doug Irish
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury hereby adjourns from Regular Session
and moves into the Queensbury Board of Health.
Duly adopted this 17th day of April, 2017 by the following vote:
AYES: Mr. Metivier, Mr. Clements, Mr. Irish, Mr. Brewer, Mr. Strough
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Would the applicant's agent please come to the table? This is Carol
Bodette, lives at 10 Hemlock Road or has ownership of the residence at 10 Hemlock Road on Glen
Lake, Property 289.10-1-32. Tom Hutchins is before us. Hutchins Engineering has designed a Presby
system. They need because of the configuration of the lot and everything else, most of us were up there
to do a site visit, four variances are being requested. An absorption field of 4.6 feet from the north
property line instead of the required 10 foot, absorption field to be 6.7 feet from the east property line
instead of the required 10 foot setback, force main to be 4.9 feet from the property line instead of the
10 foot setback, distribution box to be 5.1 feet from the property line instead of the required 10 foot
setback, and the leech field at least in part of the leech field is under a driveway. Usually that's not
permitted, however in this case the Presby system, and I do have a letter from Presby Environmental
saying the design as done by Mr. Hutchins is appropriate. They have a ... rating of 20 which means
that you can drive and park over this system. It's designed to allow that. It's designed for three
bedrooms.
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 04-17-2017, MTG 411 154
COUNCILMAN BREWER- So it's designed to be driven over?
SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Yes. So go again, Tom, will you introduce yourself for the record?
TOM HUTCHINS- My name is Tom Hutchins, I do business as Hutchins Engineering in Queensbury.
I'm here on behalf of owner/applicant Carol Bodette. This gives us the opportunity to take an
antiquated system and install an enhanced treatment system in a modern manner. A couple
complications with the property, one is the location of the existing well, which I'm sure you all noticed
it's far away from the shoreline as it could be which isn't the way we would do it approaching it today.
So what we proposed to do is decommission that existing well, build a new well down toward the
shoreline, the location is shown, that allows us to install ... and maximize the separation from the
shoreline. The variances that we are requesting are for property line setbacks. We're meeting well
setbacks, we're meeting shoreline setbacks. So again, the variances we're requesting are for property
line setbacks. It is designed to be installed to a traffic load. There is a highway stabilization fabric layer
between the top of the trenches and then there's a one foot gravel layer. This system is vented so that
it's aerobic. A lot of the concern about installing systems under traffic conditions is not so much that
they can't stand the load, but things get compacted and the systems don't operate aerobically.
COUNCILMAN BREWER- There's a foot over the top of the trenches.
MR. HUTCHINS- There's a foot of gravel above the fabric.
COUNCILMAN BREWER- Okay.
MR. HUTCHINS- The highway stabilization fabric.
COUNCILMAN BREWER- Right.
MR. HUTCHINS- And then there's a foot of gravel there and then asphalt...
COUNCILMAN BREWER- And your four inches top soil and asphalt?
MR. HUTCHINS- Well, top soil would be in the areas that there's not asphalt. There would be ...
COUNCILMAN BREWER- All right, gotcha, gotcha.
MR. HUTCHINS- Top soil in the other areas. We have done this in other locations up to traffic
loading and it's successful. The fabric is important and the venting is very important so the system
stays aerobic. With that I think I'll turn it back to the Board for questioning.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Yeah, any other questions Board?
COUNCILMAN BREWER- ...biggest concern I had.
COUNCILMAN CLEMENTS- I just wanted to ask about...can you tell us a little bit about what the
process is for decommissioning that well.
MR. HUTCHINS- Sure, the Department of Health actually publishes guidance as to how to
decommission individual water supply wells. In this case, the process is to remove, obviously to
remove, the pumps and piping and then you excavate down to four or five feet below grade at the well.
The well casing is cut off and it's back filled with water tight gravel, with a well drillers grout mix.
Same material they'd use on the outside of a well that their grouting, they just fill in the inside of the
well with it so it's water tight, it's sealed...
COUNCILMAN BREWER- Okay, thank you.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Any other questions from the Board before I open the public hearing?
COUNCILMAN BREWER- No, I don't.
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 04-17-2017, MTG 411 155
SUPERVISOR STROUGH- All right, Tom, let me see if there's anybody from the public that wishes
to speak to this application and if so I'll ask you to sit down and then return. Is there any member of
the public that wishes to speak to this application, if so please raise your hand? Seeing none, any last
questions before we go to the motion to approve? All right then a motion to approve Carol Bodette's
application for sanitary sewage disposal variances, moved by Councilman Clements, seconded by
Councilman Irish.

3.0 CORRESPONDENCE
DEPUTY TOWN CLERK, ROSE MELLON- The monthly report for Community
Development/Building and Codes for the month of March is on file in the Town Clerk's Office.
4.0 PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR (LIMIT- 4 MINUTES)
GEORGE WINTERS-
Informed the Board of audio issues with the last couple of Town Board Meetings.
• Spoke regarding use of Capital Improvement funds.
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 04-17-2017, MTG 411 167
• Noticed a new "stop sign ahead" on Mountain View Lane. It would be a good idea to
have a sign like that on Aviation coming up to West Mountain Road, as well as
Sherman Avenue to Luzerne.
JOHN SALVADOR- Recently visited a Caribbean Island for vacation. He noticed they don't have
any traffic lights or policemen directing traffic. Every major intersection had a roundabout and the
minor intersections had right of way signs. Traffic continued to move, never stopped, it seems to
work.
RACHEL SEEBER-
• Thanked the Board for posting agendas for workshop meetings.
• Had an opportunity to meet at length with the Parks & Recreation Department regarding
occupancy tax. Noted that she was very impressed with Parks & Rees, they work hard.
• Spoke regarding Councilman Clements' comments regarding a recent Post Star editorial
and Student Connection Resolution.
TRAVIS WHITEHEAD-
Spoke regarding Occupancy tax and filing.
• Spoke on the advertisement of bids process.
RON BALL-
• Concerned about the many accidents on West Mountain and Aviation Roads. Stop
signs should be placed on West Mountain Road at that intersection before they repave.
• Commented on Councilman Clements' remarks concerning the Student Connection
Resolution.
5.0 TOWN BOARD DISCUSSIONS
COUNCILMAN BREWER (WARD IV)- Was approached by Highway Superintendent, Tom
VanNess asking for a Resolution or discussion of a Resolution for no parking on the south side of
Corinth Road from Carey Road to Big Bay. With the Stewarts right there and the new trampoline
park opening soon, he is concerned that if parking isn't enough, people are going to start parking
on the road, therefore increasing risk of accidents in that area.
COUNCILMAN IRISH (WARD III)-
• The weather is getting nice and there are a lot of bikers out. Not all of the roads have
been cleaned yet so please be careful.
• Thanked Councilman Clements for his comments.
COUNCILMAN CLEMENTS (WARD II)- Nothing to report.
COUNCILMAN METIVIER(WARD I)- Nothing to report.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-
• Reviewed the Spring 2017 pick-up schedule.
