PUBLIC HEARING— SEWAGE DISPOSAL VARIANCE APPLICATION OF
JONATHAN & RUTH BODENHORN
PUBLICATION DATE: May 25, 2018
PRESENT AGENT TOM HUTCHINS
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Tom if you would like to add to that.
TOM HUTCHINS, HUTCHINS ENGINEERING, QUEENSBURY-I am here on behalf of the
applicants Jonathan and Ruth Bodenhorn. It is at 9 Pine Tree Lane. The Bodenhorn's own 9
Pine Tree Lane. They have owned it since 2010. The septic system is not in failure, but it is
antiquated. They wish to make some improvements starting with a Clarus System. What we
propose is what we feel is good as we can do considering the configuration on this lot in the
neighborhood. We are showing an aerobic treatment unit an enhanced treatment Clarus, which is
an environmental NSF approved enhanced treatment unit. That would discharge subsequently
through a new absorption bed. The nature of all the variances have to do with the absorption bed
that is discharging our main stream effluent. We have located this bed at what we feel the best
location on site considering everything. We are asking for five (5) feet from the property line.
We are asking for seventy (70) feet from the well. We are asking for twelve (12) from the
residence itself. Hopefully you have had the chance to get up there and take a look at it. We
have looked at it a lot. We really see some better options considering the configuration. With
that, I think I will turn it over to the Board.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Seventy (70) feet from the well the house is in-between. There is no
slope so the flow of water seventy (70) doesn't seem to be a problem. Why don't they hook up
to Shore Colony Water?
MR. HUTCHINS-They are hooked up to Shore Colony Water. This water supply well is only
used in the off season from Shore Colony. The quality of Shore Colony water they're happy
with that. Like a lot of Assembly Point wells, it is a very very deep well. The water quality is
not the greatest. There is a treatment system that we use when they are on the well water.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Any questions from the Board?
COUNCILWOMAN ATHERDEN-Clarus Fusion.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Yes, that is very good. Since there are no questions from the Board
I will open the public hearing on this matter. Is there any member of the public that would like
to speak to this proposed variance application?
