ATTORNEY DiLALLO BITTER-The structure is set back quite a distance from the road so it's not as if he could tie into the public system which is why it's supported with a holding tank. But as the Supervisor noted and was on a site visit today, it's just a small bathroom for convenience purposes. It's distance, not only from the road but from the residence. REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 12-17-2018, MTG#46 354 SUPERVISOR STROUGH-It seems to be fairly cut and dry. Any thoughts, concerns, questions for Ms. Bitter while she's here over this resolution? COUNCILWOMAN ATHERDEN-I guess I have a question. So, I know that you've been in front of the Zoning Board many times and this time, there was, a permit should have been required and it wasn't sought, is that correct? ATTORNEY DiLALLO BITER-That's correct. COUNCILWOMAN ATHERDEN-Yea, so I just wonder if there's ever going to be a need for a larger tank or if it's asked for, if there's ever going to be any extension to that? ATTORNEY DiLALLO BITTER-No, I am glad you asked that question. This is purely a garage, there's no living quarters suggestion, no bedrooms anticipated, it's purely for purposes of an accessory structure for storage. So that's why the bathroom is just there to wash hands and ... but no living quarters, no extensions. COUNCILWOMAN ATHERDEN-And no anticipated extensions or anything, okay thanks. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Okay any further questions from the Board? Okay, none. There is a public hearing on this. Anybody from the public wish to speak to this resolution to approve a sanitary sewage disposal variance. Okay, Stefanie, thank you. Yes, sir. RON BALL-Ron Ball, Queensbury. Many homes in Queensbury convert their garages to living space. It happens all of the time. That's all I have to say, thank you. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Okay. Anybody else from the public wish to speak to this? Alright, Stefanie, if you want to return. I visited the site. It is a garage. There is no indication of it being a residence and like I said, there's a small sink and a small toilet and that's it. Alright. Any questions from the Board, last minute? COUNCILWOMAN ATHERDEN-I just have one. It is understood that should there ever be a need, that a larger tank would be required. ATTORNEY DiLALLO BITTER-Absolutely and if any further modifications are necessary, permits will have to be sought. COUNCILWOMAN ATHERDEN-Permits, yes. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-It's only a five hundred (500) gallon tank and that's really a good thing. COUNCILWOMAN ATHERDEN-Correct but if that was extended, they would have to come back and ask for a larger tank, if it was built into something else. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Yes. COUNCILWOMAN ATHERDEN-Yes, that's what I need clarifying. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Okay. Alright, no further questions, is there a motion?
