PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE LED BY SUPERVISOR JOHN STROUGH
1.0 PRESENTATIONS
1.1 SNAP & OTHER FEDERAL FEEDING PROGRAMS
Ben Driscoll, staff member of Catholic Charities of Warren and Washington Counties spoke
regarding his duties as NOEP (Nutrition Outreach and Education Program) Coordinator where he
is charged with educating and informing the public about the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP).
1.2 PARKS AND RECREATION CAPITAL PROJECTS
Steve Lovering, Director of Parks and Recreation reviewed a slide presentation of his
department’s Capital Expenditure Request noting the project evaluation process, funding
requests with project totals in each ward and the individual proposed projects. Announced the
summer brochure and program guide will be coming out within the next couple of weeks,
residents will be receiving them in the mail and we’re excited and geared up for summer.
Supervisor Strough-Steve Lovering and the Park and Rec Commission have done a wonderful
job with our Parks and Recreation. We are very gifted to have very talented people help manage
this town and help produce a very good community that the greater community also enjoys. But
Harry Hansen who recently passed, as you may know and Park and Rec was his middle name. I
mean, he goes back in his history to 1970 where in Elmhurst, Illinois he started working for their
parks and recreation commission. In 1978 he accepted a position as Director of Parks and
Recreation for the Town of Queensbury and he moved his whole family east for that. So he was
very instrumental in developing Gurney Lane recreation area and pool, Hovey Pond Park, the
Regular Town Board Meeting, 04-15-2019, MTG #12 623
creation of Ridge-Jenkinsville Park, Hudson Pointe Nature Preserve and Hudson River Park.
Steve Lovering has brought many of those to fruition so both men deserve credit for those. But
he also coached little league, he was Den Master for the Cub Scouts, he was just very community
involved so we are going to miss Harry. The flags are at half-mast to pay respects for Harry and
I’d like to take a moment of silence for Harry because he played such an integral part of this
community while he was here. (Silence observed) Thank you Harry, we’re going to miss you.

2.1 PUBLIC HEARING – SEWAGE DISPOSAL VARIANCE APPLICATION OF
THOMAS AND MARYBETH BABCOCK
PUBLICATION DATE: APRIL 5, 2019
SUPERVISOR STROUGH reviewed the six variance requests for property located at 15
Chestnut Road. Noted that he and Councilman Ferone did a site visit today.
TOM HUTCHINS, Engineer/Agent for applicant from Hutchins Engineering, Queensbury. With
me is owner applicant, Tom Babcock and his wife Marybeth. The Babcocks have owned this
property at 15 Chestnut since 1987 and they wish to upgrade and improve this wastewater
system. We have proposed an enhanced treatment system with a Clarus Fusion Aerobic
Treatment Unit. You folks have seen these on other properties. It’s going in on a lot of lakefront
properties. It’s a highly efficient post-secondary treatment system. We’re showing a pump
station and an absorption bed located partially beneath the existing driveway because that
location allows us to maximize setbacks from adjoining properties and wells and such. I feel
strongly that this is the best option for that absorption area. Again, we’re dealing with highly
treated effluent that’s been disinfected going into this absorption system. We’re fine utilizing the
H-20 Chambers in lieu of pipe in the stone absorption bed. I would add, this is very important to
the owners.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-This is probably the best location and maybe the only location for an
infiltration bed. We talked about an infiltration bed might not be the best thing for under a
driveway with the traffic and it could get in the way of the future operation of it. But with what
you’re proposing, this infiltrator water technologies H-20 system, it seems to resolve all of the
Regular Town Board Meeting, 04-15-2019, MTG #12 624
issues that I may have had and I will let George speak for himself. Do you have detail for us as
to how that might look?
MR. HUTCHINS-What I propose, I will submit that with the permit. It will look very similar to
the detail on the back of the … sheet I’ve shown you, it will be three rows of infiltrators instead
of three rows of pipe within that bed. Physical dimensions won’t change, variance distances
won’t change and I have some more of those if you’d like. (Submitted sheets to the Town Board
and Town Clerk)
COUNCILWOMAN ATHERDEN-How does it overcome, it seems like the norm is not to put
something under the driveway so how does this mechanism overcome that?
MR. HUTCHINS-Yes, the norm is not to put a system under the driveway. However in this
case, there are not a whole lot of options. It overcomes it by the physical strength of these
chambers that are installed in a bed of stone and we also have the ability to use high strength
highway stabilization fabric which hasn’t been around forever but it does a wonderful job in
protecting subgrades, soft subgrades from traffic loads. You can put this stuff down and build a
road through a very soft area and it’s marvelous material. It helps immensely with this type of
application.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-The worry that we have with the traditional infiltration bed is that
driving over it and putting weight on it, will result in compaction which will take away from the
effectiveness and efficiency of a traditional system. Now as you can see, this is a structural
system so compaction is not the issue here and it is drivable. That’s why it’s called an H-20. We
talked to Tom earlier and he was willing to switch this system for what was proposed, the
traditional infiltration system. And Town Counsel, that’s the only real change.
MR. HUTCHINS-I have done this on a number of occasions. There’s a motel on the way to
Bolton that the entire parking area has these systems underneath it in a very high loading
situation for a motel and it’s running well and it’s functioned very well.
COUNCILWOMAN ATHEREN-How old of a system?
MR. HUTCHINS-Six years.
COUNCILWOMAN ATHERDEN-What is this replacing?
MR. HUTCHINS-This is replacing a holding tank system that is aged, from 1990.
COUNCILMAN FERONE-The only question I forgot to ask today, looking at that area, there’s
some blacktop there and I imagine that’s going to be removed so you can put in these units and
then it’s going to be repaved back over?
MR. HUTCHINS-Blacktop comes out, we put these in and then asphalt services over it, yes.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Any more questions from the Board before I open the hearing to the
public? Any member of the public wish to speak to this? We have a public hearing on this
variance proposal tonight. Seeing no interest from the public. Counsel?
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-Is this replacing the absorption bed?
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-This is replacing the absorption bed. So is there anything we need
to do? Well, we need to address that.
Regular Town Board Meeting, 04-15-2019, MTG #12 625
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-Change number 6, on the last page of the resolution which refers
to absorption bed to be located partially under the driveway.
MR. HUTCHINS-Potentially still an absorption bed, it’s just that the infiltrator unit is now
chambers instead of pipe.
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-So why don’t we say absorption bed utilizing the Infiltrator
Chamber H-20 system.

2.2 PUBLIC HEARING – SEWAGE DISPOSAL VARIANCE APPLICATION OF
10 DUNHAM’S BAY RD., LLC
PUBLICATION DATE: APRIL 5, 2019
SUPERVISOR STROUGH reviewed the variance requests for property located at Dunham’s
Bay. Noted that he and Councilman Ferone did a site visit today.
MATT FULLER, Attorney/Agent-For the record, Matt Fuller with Meyer, Fuller and Stockwell.
I have owner Matt O’Hara and we also have Tom Suozzo from Cedarwood Engineering who has
done the design work here. We’re kind of in the rebirth of the property and Matt and his wife
and the crew that he has assembled are really undertaking quite a project. We will be back,
sometime later this year with the Planning Board with some plans for the actual facility. But the
initial, critical moves were gasoline and the septic. The gas tanks have been removed and we’re
in the process of putting in a brand new tank. At the same time, since we’re in that area
disturbing the ground, the idea was to replace what we believe to be septic system that is at the
very end of its life. It was agreed that the six thousand gallon holding tank further up the road
was the better move for the property. So, the pump station will be upgraded and replaced inside
the building, seal and make sure its functions and force main up to the holding tank, fully
alarmed with accordance with town code.
Regular Town Board Meeting, 04-15-2019, MTG #12 627
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-I see that you did go along with a new storm water plan.
MR. FULLER-It does and I would call that the beginning of our storm water plan. We are with
the Park Commission at the end of the month to hopefully get the approval to kick off the
Freedom Boat Club at the Dunham’s Bay site for the summer.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Questions from the Board? Okay, there is a public hearing so I will
open the public hearing. Are there any members of the public that wish to speak to Dunham’s
Bay sewage disposal variance application? Seeing none, any further questions from the Board?
COUNCILMAN METIVIER-Just a comment, it’s just too bad John Salvador wasn’t around to
see this. This is what he’s talked about for the last twenty years. This would make him happy.
