MR. NAYLOR-Well for liability reasons. Right, Paul? (Dusek) We went out there as you
know, some of the folks have been in here, we looked at the situation and we looked at all
ways, upside down and backwards. No parking is the way to go. In case somebody gets foolish, y
we'll stop them from being foolish. Even if they do it just to pick up o kid on a school bus
or whatever. I don't think they'll get a ticket for it but at least the signs ore there.

law dealing with Sherman Island Road, markings. Anyone wish to speak for or against or
ask questions about the proposed markings on Sherman Island Road which I just heard has
already been accomplished? We could always use block point and wipe it out. Anyone wish
to speak about this at all?
MR. NAYLOR-To make a long story short troops, we had the point truck in Town and legally
it gets a little shaky. You don't need, really, your okoy to do it but for future and ever and
ever and ever, you kind of need a low to put it in the books forever. In case I drop dead,

and see where you guys passed a resolution, a local law that said for ever and ever and ever,
you've got to point that road.
COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-It's already painted now?
MR.' NAYLOR-Yes. Well we had to do it because the paint truck was in Town. I called my

QUEENSBURY BOARD OF HEALTH
PUBLIC HEARING -SEWER VARIANCE - MARTHA L. AND MICHAEL HOGAN
NOTICE SHOWN
8:03 p.m.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Is there anyone here who wishes to speak for or against this situation.
MICHAEL O'CONNOR-Mr. Supervisor, ladies and gentleman, I'm Michael O'Connor from
the Low firm of Little and O'Connor, I'm here to speak on behalf of the applicants Michael
and Martha Hogan, with me is Raymond Irish who is the consulting engineer on this particular
project. What we have before you is on application for o variance for a portion of the sewer
ordinance as to the separation for a holding tank from the foundation of the residence on
the lot that we're speaking of. First before we get to the actual separation, let me speak
of why we're talking about o holding tank. This is a piece of property on Glen Lake. It is
a small lot. On it exists now a 3 bedroom summer residence that the people wish to convert
that to a year round residence. In order to do that as part of the site plan review, we must
have a certification from an engineer that the septic system will support that type use on
that particular lot. The lot is of such a size that you can not under our present ordinance
put a full septic system within the lot confines. One boundary that we're talking of is 95
feet in length in total from the lakeshore, the other one is 106 feet, so if you maintain your
i
100 foot setback, you just wouldn't be able to put a septic system on that lot.
COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-You'd be into the next lot.
MR. O'CONNOR-Well, I think you've even got to go beyond that a little bit. So you've got
to go to a holding tank. The separation distance that we're talking about is the separation
distance from the foundation of the residence. The ordinance says that there will be a 10
foot separation. We are saying that the location that we propose is the only site or only portion
of the site where you can put the holding tank, we're saying that what we are suggesting is
not a substantial variation because this residence is going to be built on a slab so we're talking
about not a foundation in the normal sense that the ordinance speaks. it's not going to be
148
21 feet from a basement, it's going to be 21 feet from the frost wall of the slob. That basically
is what it is. Mr. Irish is here and I'm sure can answer better than I can, any of the technical
questions with"regard to the septic system.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-My only question is a holding tank is a fine way of handling, especially
this close to the lake. Is there going to be on alarm system on this holding tank so that in
the event that its full ...
MR. O'CONNOR-i do know enough about that but I'll have Roy address it probably. There
is on alarm system. It first goes off and then secondary to the alarm system is it shuts off
the water supply to the house long before you even reach your full capacity.
COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-Ron, we hove on ordinance for that and Dave is going to enforce
it.
MR. O'CONNOR-As I understand how it operates, is it about half capacity when the first
alarm? Why don't you speak directly about it.
RAYMOND IRISH, Consulting Engineer-Yes as Councilman Kurosoka pointed out, the ordinance
requires a complex system which includes one light going on when you're fifty percent full
and when the tank gets up to a higher level, it actually shuts everything off, you can't actually
get water so you won't hove more water going to the system.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Okay.
COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-I'm quite certain Mr. Hotin wouldn't let them put in on illegal
system.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Thank you. Anyone else who wishes to speak about this?
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Michael, do I understand you to say a new house is being built
there?
MR. O'CONNOR-Yes, a house on the existing foundation.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Okay but it's no up yet. A new bathroom is going in so we can
require water saving devices in the bothroom.li without causing them any problems?
MR. O'CONNOR-1 don't know if you honestly can require but it is port of the plan. It is
submitted on the plans that have been submitted here which are port of the site plan review.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-We typically for this type of situation like the one lost year or so,
we typically have inserted that as o condition near the lakes.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Yes, around the lokes.
MR. O'CONNOR-1 think its a very good idea. I think its a particular good idea here for these
particular applicants because they're going to be paying by the gallon a rather hefty fee for
removal of the water so its in their better interest to make it as minimum as they can.
COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-Three and a half is legal in the State.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-1 know but we require on the lake to go to 1.5 ...
COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-1 know, what I'm saying is better for them to pump 11 than 31.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-And water saving showerheods.
MR. O'CONNOR-We have no objection to that. It's our understanding that that's how we
designed the system.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Any further comments or questions? Seeing no hands ...

RESOLUTION APPROVING VARIANCE REQUEST OF MARTHA L. AND MICHAEL HOGAN
RESOLUTION NO. 12, 1990, Introduced by Ronald Montesi who moved for its adoption,
seconded by George Kurosoko.
WHEREAS, Martha L. and Michael Hogan previously filed a request for o variance from certain

RESOLVED, that the Town of Queensbury Local Board of Health grants a variance to Martha
L. and Michael Hogan, allowing a 2.5 foot separation between the septic tank and the dwelling,
and
a. that there ore special circumstances or conditions which justify allowing the 2.5'
separation between the septic tank and the dwelling in that the lot size is too small
to accommodate the 10' distance required, and
b. that due to the nature of the variance, it is felt that the variation will not be
materially detrimental to the purposes and objectives of this ordinance or to other
adjoining properties or otherwise conflict with the purpose and objectives of any
plan or policy of the Town of Queensbury,
C. that the Local Board of Health finds that the granting of the variance is necessary
for the_reasonable use of the land and that the variance is granted as the minimum
variance which would alleviate the specific unnecessary hardship found by the Local
Board of Health to affect the applicant, and

also secure the approval of the New York State Department of Health, that a 1.5
or 1.6 water saving closet and shower head be installed.

OLD B USI NESS- TOOME Y PR OPER T Y
CONTINUED HEARING LEFT OPEN
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-When lost we met we gave the Toomeys a period of time in which
to take some action or to notify us if they didn't. They were supposed to, I believe file for
a variance request some time during last week.
DAVE HA TIN, Director of Building & Codes-1 received a phone call from Kevin Toomey related
to it, some information about a variance and what would be needed, to my knowledge and
I didn't confirm with Pat today, but they haven't filed for anything.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-1 thought we gave him a little more than a week.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-1 think he said he would file certainly within lost week and if for
some reason he wasn't going to then he would comply with the shorter time frame that we
gave him, which was 30 or 60 days but I don't recall exactly. Questioned whether the Attorney
or Clerk could recall.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-Darleen (Town Clerk)seems to think your statement is accurate. I thought
it had been on for consideration tonight and the hearing was carried over and left opened.
COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-He was supposed to come back and tell us what he did or do
something.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Questioned whether Mr. Hotin could double check with his office
152
to make sure nothing has been submitted today.
MR. HATIN-''Agreed to make phone call to Pat Collard.
COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-He's been told to do things and for 2 years he's been stolling.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-We still held the hearing open so we con take action tonight and
start the clock on the 30 day ...
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-The clock is still ticking on the 30 days, is it not?
ATTORNEY DUSEK-It starts from the time you serve them with the notice except my advice
to the Board would be to consider the fact that there has been some dialogue going back and
forth and perhaps it would be a good idea to adopt a firm resolution indicating when the work
should be started and completed by just so there's no misunderstanding or claimed _
misunderstanding at a later date.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-We really need to do that if we're going to do that with some degree
of expediency so we don't we have to deal with the fact that the snow storm stop any work.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-1111 recommend that we go to Open Forum now and wait for Mr. Hatin
to return from his attempt to contact Pat with the needed information.
OPEN FORUM
8:15 p.m.
MICHAEL O'CONNOR-At your lost meeting I spoke regarding no parking on Glen Lake Road.
I would again ask the Board to consider that. After the meeting lost time we were here,
we did meet with Paul Naylor. I understand that Mr. Naylor did look at that and was going
to report to the Board.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Read letter from Mr. Naylor stating that he has made an inspection
of the Glen Lake Road near the Docksider regarding the no parking proposal and feels that
the no parking is the best solution.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-No parking from where to where?
MR. NAYLOR-From St. Mary's Bay to the bike trail on both sides of the road.
TOWN BOARD agreed and made request for resolution setting public hearing for proposal
of Local Low regulating no parking on Glen Lake Road for next Town Board meeting.
RETURN TO TOOMEY HEARING
MR. .HATIN-Noted he had spoken to Pot Collard and she knows nothing about it. There's
a possibility that he's has submitted something to the Planning Department.
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-At the previous Board meeting you were not here but i understand
that you and Mr. Montesi met with Mr. Toomey and that it was your recommendation that
the steel girders be removed, the cement slab remain and the rest of the property graded
and seeded. It would be my suggestion that we follow through with those recommendations.
Mr. Toomey was aware of what the Department Head and the Board recommended.
MR. HA TIN-The variance seemed to be the least of his options that he was considering that
day.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-We tried to. let him know realistically what he was in for with a
variance procedure and a site plan review and I think at that time, he said maybe I will try
it. We said okay, if you're going to do it, you're going to hove to take action within pretty
quick, within a week because we're not going to sit on this any longer. I feel we have played
around this for a long time and if we're going to take action tonight and give him a time frame,
I think we have to put some teeth into this thing and say, if it isn't done by this date, the
one threat that we used before that seemed to work very well is, we will do it and put it as
a lean on the property. We need to automatically at the end of 30 or 60 days, if it isn't done
than we should do it.
SUPERVISOR BOR GOS-1 want to be very careful that we don't go against what we said the
last time.
TOWN CLERK DOUGHER-Steve, I've just found the resolution on it, Resolved that the Town
Board of the Town of Queensbury hereby wishes to continue the hearing on the Toomey Property
at the meeting of September 17th.

OPEN"FORUM CONTINUED
8:35 p.m.
PLINEY TUCKER, Word 4-Questioned the contract between the Town of Queensbury and
the Warren County Sheriff's Department.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Noted that he had read through the contracts and would like to review
with our Town Attorney for legal advice.
MR. TUCKER-Noted that he had attended the Zoning Board of Appeals Meeting that was
held recently and the Town Board and the Residents of the Town should be proud of them.
Referred to the affordable housing project that was before the Zoning Board, that they got
the answers that they were looking for and I was happy with the end result. Noted that the
affordable housing figures, payments on the house including taxes, insurance, mortgage are
going to amount to 700 dollars a month, 4500 dollars down, whether they get the 25,000 or
154
not. Noted to Mr. Kurosoko the nice letter in the paper, answering olot of questions. Referred
to the position that Mrs. Pulver has on the Board and the situation she is in, noting o conflict
of interest. My personol feeling is that should she be asked to resign from the Board or removed
from the Board.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Have you discussed this with Mrs. Pulver?
MR. TUCKER-No I have not.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-1 recommend that you might wont to do that, in the respect that
as you may or may not know, the Town Board appoints the members of these Boards. It is
my understanding that none of the members can be easily removed and perhaps inappropriate
for us to request the resignation. However you as o member of the public wish to make a
statement of any sort to the individuals involved, that perhaps would be appropriate.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Noted that the law makes it very difficult to remove someone
from a Board. We can recommend that on individual not vote on a particular issue or disqualify
yourself from that particular hearing and not participate in the discussion.
COUNCILMAN MONA HA N-Questioned who would sit as the Board of Ethics.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-1 believe and I would have to go back and check the low but I believe
the Town Board that would sit as the Board of Ethics.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-So o formal complaint can be brought that somebody has done
an action that does not comply with our code of ethics?
ATTORNEY DUSEK-Would like to note that there was some kind of consultation the night
that some decision was made with the Deputy Town Attorney at that meeting or before that
meeting or some time around that time period where by which Mrs. Pulver reached a decision
that she felt she could vote. So I think Mrs. Pulver in the first instance did attempt to take
the right steps and I think what has happened here is there has been a reconsideration. I think
its important to note that in my opinion I have recommended that she not participate in any
further matters related to this although I don't know that I've really said there is o particular
conflict. i issued the type of legal opinion, that it is my recommendation after considering
all facts, considering lows, recommendations, that she not sit and listen to this particular
matter. I believe at this time the Deputy Town Attorney agrees with my opinion I rendered
and I have not heard from Mrs. Pulver to indicate that she disagrees.
MR. TUCKER-If I were to go before a Board, any Board and I felt that some member on the
Board was going to be detrimental to what I was looking for, con I challenge them?
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Yes you would hove the right to challenge.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-The law is very narrow in exactly what type of actions is said a Board
member should not do and its got to fall in one of those classifications. The law is very, very
precise. Its says this is what you can't do, it doesn't tell you how to act.
PAUL H. NAYLOR, Highway Superintendent-Referred to Colonial Court, would like to report
that I'm not sure whether we'll be able to finish the blocktopping, we've just finished 15 miles
of paving and we're 2 weeks behind schedule.
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-Concerned with the safety of allowing this to go, has been going
in the works for o long time.
DAVE HA TIN, Director of Building & Codes-Referred to the discussion of the McDonald
property at the last Town Board meeting. Questioned whether there was a decision to the
three bids that were submitted.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Noted that the time frame was still in effect and therefore we were
unable to really consider the bids. Noted that the Board was concerned that the bids were
high. Once the time frame ends, the Board will hove to make a decision.
OPEN FORUM CLOSED
9.10 P.M.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS noted the Balloon Festival Week is upon us and hopes to have a
proclamation officially declaring this Adirondack Hot Air Balloon Festival week in the Town
of Queensbury. Encourage everyone to continue to support the Balloon Festival, being here
since October, 1973.
