Todd and Laurie Jorgensen has asked AJA Architecture & Planning to provide a
septic system review for their property at 141 Big Bay Road in Queensbury. The
Jorgensen’s are proposing an addition to their current three bedroom home that
would add a family room, a walk-in closet, and laundry room that would replace
their laundry room in the current structure. Accompanying this letter are the
original documents pertaining to the septic system from 2001:
1.Septic Disposal System Permit Application
2.Town of Queensbury Septic Disposal System Inspection
3.As-Built Septic Plan
Below is a summary of the existing septic condition.
Existing Conditions:
Number of Bedrooms: 3
Garbage Grinder Installed: No
Spa or Whirlpool Installed: No
Septic Tank Size: 1250 gallon
Septic Field
o Total Length: 200 ft.
o Each Trench: 50 ft.
Based on our review of the proposed addition, there is no increase in load and
the existing sizing for the septic system complies with current NYS codes. The
existing septic also complies with current Town of Queensbury zoning for
waterfront residential. The septic is not within the 30’ front yard setback, the 25’
side yard setback, or the 100’ shoreline setback.
