PUBLIC HEARING -SEWER VARIANCE - ELEANOR ROWLAND
NOTICE SHOWN
7.45 p.m.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Is there anyone here who wishes to speak for or against or ask questions
about this particular variance? Mr. Hotin, would you like to tell us very briefly? Do you
have all these in front of you? Just briefly what and where. I read through mine the other
day and they're not here now.
DAVE HA TIN, Director of Building & Codes-This is a variance for Mrs. Eleanor Rowland
to place a septic line closer than the required 100 feet to her well. It's located on upper Ridge
Road, north of 149 on the left hand side.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Okoy, this is one where there are currently problems, is that correct?
MR. HA TIN-This is a replacement for on existing system.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-They wish to replace on existing system to upgrade?
AIR. HA TIN-Yes.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Dave, do you know how deep that well is? 1
AIR. HA TIN-The Rowlands are here, they can answer that probably better than I con.
MRS. ROWLA ND-167 feet.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Let the record show Mrs. Rowland said 167 feet.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Just for the record, so that you know what we're dealing with.
This is a Ridge Road property that over looks Queensbury Golf Course, Queensbury Country
195
Club. It's a pretty, it's a beautiful location. There's not much room to move on Ridge Road.
They have a magnificent old stone wall in front and there is nothing behind them except the
7th or 6th fairway.
MRS. R OWL AND-We're between whole 5 and 6 and that's where our well is going to be ...
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-So there's ample room a very large slope for some form of drainage
also. 1 think that if you take a field trip here you'll see that there really isn't too many
alternatives and they are trying to update a system.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-I've discussed this in detail with our Building and Code people and
j they believe that this should be issued. Is that correct?
AIR. HA TIN-Yes.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Anyone else? Any Board members, other questions or comments?
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-I'm just looking Steve to see if there is any, Dave, are there any
neighbors that can be effected by this?
MR. HA TIN-if you look at the map for the 500 feet, I think you'll see that all the neighbors
wells are more than the required 100 feet.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-1 think there was one.
MR. HA TIN-One neighbor was concerned. We went out in the field and measured it to make
sure that it was right and she is exactly 100 feet from this. That's the best we could do.
But the line is exactly 100 feet or will be, give or take a few inches.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Any other questions?

seconded by Betty Monahan.
WHEREAS, Ms. Eleanor K. Rowland previously filed a request for two (2) variances from
certain provisions of the Sanitary Sewage Disposal Ordinance of the Town of Queensbury,
such provisions being more specifically those requiring that there be a 100 foot separation
between the absorption field and the well, and a 10 foot separation between the absorption
field and the property line, and
WHEREAS, a Notice of Public Hearing was given in the official newspaper of the Town of
Queensbury and a Public Hearing was held in connection with the variance requests on October
15, 1990, and
WHEREAS, the Town Clerk advises that property owners within 500 feet of the subject property

RESOLVED, that the Town of Queensbury Local Board of Health grants the variance to Ms.
Eleanor K. Rowland, allowing a 70 foot separation between the absorption field and the well,
and a 5 foot separation between the absorption field and the property line, on the following
basis:
a. that there are special circumstances or conditions which justify allowing the 70
foot separation between the absorption field and the well and the 5 foot separation
between the absorption field and the property line, in that the lot size is too small
to accommodate the distances required,
b. that due to the nature of the variances, it is felt that the variations 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 variances is necessary
for the reasonable use of the land and that the variances are granted as the minimum
variances which would alleviate the specific unnecessary hardship found by the
196
Local Board of Health to affect the applicant; and

NOTICE SHOWN
7.48 p.m.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Is there anyone here who wishes to speak for or against or ask questions
about this particular request? Is Mr. Casey here? Anybody representing Mr. Casey? It's
not necessary.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Dove, any members involved?
MR. HA TIN-No Betty, this one is simply to go closer to the property line than allowed.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Yes, but I'm just wondering whose on the other side of them .
MR. HATIN-1 don't know, you'll have to look at the mop. I don't recall. He did provide o
tax mop but I don't know if there's any names on the tax mop or not. The pit is basically
closer, basically closer to the rood than the neighbors.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Are they on Town water?
MR. HA TIN-Yes. Everybody in that area is.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Any other questions or comments?
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-It's really pretty cut and dry as for as we're concerned. I mean
the biggest thing that we hove to deal with is the concern for the contamination of well water
and this is Town water. Again it is on upgrade.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-For those who haven't been here often, this is o technical step we
have to go through for many of these and we are obviously concerned and we do review all
of them. But alot of times it is pretty cut and dry as Mr. Montesi said. Okay, with that ...

PUBLIC HEARING -SEWER VARIANCE - DONALD KING
NOTICE SHOWN
7:50 p.m.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Mr. Hotin would you brief us on this please?
MR. HA TIN-1 don't know if any of the applicants ore here, they're probably more familiar
with this than I am. All I've seen is the mops. I guess they're requesting a variance to go
64 feet rather than the required 100 feet to a septic system and this is on Lake George. They
do meet the shore line setbacks. I believe this a replacement system along with on addition
to the dwelling.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-If they meet the shore line setbacks, what is it that they're asking
for? The 64 instead of 100?
AIR. HA TIN-Right, between the well and the septic.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Whot is your opinion?
MR. HA TIN-1 don't know if there's anybody here. They could answer the topography up there
better than I can. This is one that I haven't hod a chance to get to, field survey it.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-We don't hove the neighbors wells or ...
HOLLY ELMER, L.A. Group-The site plan shows a 500 foot radius, all the neighboring
properties, at the bottom.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Is your name on the authorization form so that you can property
represent?
MS. ELMER-My boss is, Jeff Anthony, L.A. Group.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Thank you.
MS. ELMER-You con see all the neighboring properties on our lake water and right now the
well is closer to his existing septic system. Its proposed to be moved further away.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-So it's on upgrade in that respect.
MS. ELMER-That's right. It's being moved to meet the Pork Commission Regs, get away
from the shore line.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Is this putting this any closer to any of the neighbor's septic
systems?
MS. EL MEP.-No it's not.
COUNCI' N MONTESI-Or wells?
MS. ELMER-No, they're all on Joke water.
198
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Which we don't know how long it con exist up there.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-No but the alternative is Town water.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Individuals, believe it or not, individuals can continue to use the lake
as long as they want to. It's just municipal supplies ...
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-No, I'm not saying that. I didn't mean that. I'm saying, there's
on awful slot of people that are not comfortable any longer using Lake George as a source
of drinking water.
MS. ELMER-Some of those homes hove filtration. I talked to the neighbors, some of the)
do, some of them don't. —
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-So you are saying, that number 1, we moved away from the Lake,
we moved farther away from his well and we're no closer to any of the neighbor's wells.
MS. ELMER-That's right.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-You can't ask for much more.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-You ore putting on addition on the house of how many square
feet?
MS. ELMER-It's looks like .07 acres. The house is sort of shaped like on H and they're filling
in the middle of it and adding a second floor in the one spot.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-No I'm just thinking of bedrooms and impact on the lake and so
on and so forth.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Well you're putting in 2 more, 2 proposed decks. There's no impact
there.
MS. ELMER-That's just decks.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-The square footage it looks like you're adding 24 by ...
DONALD KING, Plum Point, Lake George-There are no additional bedrooms. They're just-
putting a second story on and moving 2 existing ground floor bedrooms to the upstairs. There's
4 bedrooms now and there will be 4 bedrooms afterwards.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-It must hove been through the Planning Board.
MR. KING-Well we're trying to get this out of the way first before we go through there.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-1 think the Planning Board wants all variances token care of before
they consider any.
MR. KING-We're interested in getting a well, getting the septic system farther away from
our own well as it exists. That's the important consideration for us.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Are you making any changes in the bathroom?
MR. KING-Only that it will be upgraded to modern appliances. The house is not a winterized
facility right now. We'll have all new plumbing.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-It isn't a, I guess what Mrs. Monahan is working towards, it isn't
a requirement in our ordinance in our Town, but we certainly could with at least with your
good will, condition this variance by telling you that we'd like to see water saving toilets
installed.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-And it will be a part of the variance. We're doing this oroun_
the lake now that when we give a variance around any bodies of water, because you're in
on environmentally sensitive area, we're conditioning them that you will put in water saving.
When I soy water saving, I'm talking about 1.6 gallons for the seats and I'm talking about water
saver showers and the other facilities.
MR. KING-I'm well aware of it and if you want to condition it, I would do that anyway just
for practicality.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Well it makes a lot less pressure on the lake.
19`0
AIR. KING-I'm perfectly willing to go along with that.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Anyone else wish to add anything?

SUPERVISOR BORGOS-I hope so. I go there all the time. Anyone wishes to make a statement
for or against or ask questions about this application? Dave would you fill us in a bit, please?
200
MR. HA TIN-Mrs. Fosulo is asking to replace the stone around the or evaluate the system
under her parking lot. In order for us to approve this we hove to have the variance to place
seepage pits under the parking lot because it is a major alteration.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-This concept has become fairly standard in the Town with traffic
covers and all those other things.
MR. HA TIN-Right, that's the only thing the plans don't show but we will make sure that that's
there.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-1 was going to soy, I don't see that in our, is it in this, that they're
supposed to have traffic covers on that?
MR. HA TIN-It's always been the engineer's recommendation.

in here.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-That would be condition e.
MRS. FASULO-Actually we had cover on the old one, so if there's on the old one, it would
be done on the new one also.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Yes, we're just trying to do our work correctly.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-A traffic cover is a very specific term so that everybody knows it's
suitable for driving over, just to make it clear. I'm sure you would have to do it anyway.
MRS. FASULO-Yes.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-There would be o paragraph e, that the Local Board of Health hereby
imposes a further condition upon the applicant that any septic or leaching facilities placed
in the parking lot area or under the parking lot shall hove traffic covers.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Yes, traffic covers. Anyone else wish to say anything?
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Only that this is a real fine business. They've put an addition on
this year, certainly generated more sales tax for the Town of Queensbury along with all of
it's soles that you're getting now. It's part of our job to keep business in our community and
make sure that it's done right. That's why they're here.

NOTICE SHOWN
8:00 p.m.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Anyone wishes to speak for or against or ask questions about this
application? I'll ask Mr. Hatin to brief us with this one. This is up at the corners, right?
MR. HATIN-Yes. Basically a repeat of what we just hod. Mr. Legault would like to park
cars over the top of his seepage or septic system. We inspected his system when it was newly
installed over 1 believe a month and a half ago. We told him in order to park vehicles over
it he would have to apply for a variance.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-l'm wondering now that we're having so many of these coming through
if we should amend our ordinance to soy that, under certain conditions and list those conditions
that will be permitted, and that would save all this process.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-1 think this is something we have to maybe sit down with Dave
and find out if there's any time that we shouldn't and not try to do this off the top of our
heads and give some thought to it.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Not right this minute but I'm saying ...
COUNCILMAN MONTESi-When we went through the one that I think I hod the most concern
about was up on 149. Mike O'Connor represented that group, the 2 big retail outlets, they
were moving them.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-That was on Route 9 near the mobile station.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Right. There was clot of good questions that come out of the
discussion. I'm not saying that we shouldn't amend the ordinance but that was one that could
hove been cut and dry but there were o lot of good questions that came out of it. Is this going
to be paved?
MR. LEGA UL T-No.
COUNCILMAN MONTES1-Okay, this is an area that is going to remain permeable.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Good.
MR. LEGA UL T, Bayberry Corners-It will be probably dirt until spring.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Why don't you just gross it?
202
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-It's hard to plow the gross.
MR. LEGAULT-Not to have cars parked on it. They won't pork on grass.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-We don't call gravel as permeable anymore do we?
MR. HA TIN-Not that I know of, no.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-They would hove to make sure that doesn't cut down the amount
of space that you hove to have for permeability and gravel is not considered permeable anymore
in this Town.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-This is a restaurant that they went through a very trying summer.
In the peak of the season they had a fire. It's been recently totally renovated, I guess and
it looks great. They were closed for the biggest part of the season and it looks like things
are going good, you're making the parking lot bigger, so that's great Mike.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Any further comments?
COUNCILMAN MONA HA N-Dave, do you have any problems with this?
MR. HA TIN-No.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Do you put traffic covers on a parking lot that is not paved?
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Well this part will be won't it, where he's putting ...
MR. HA TIN-We're finding that generally if its for commercial use they are putting the traffic
covers on.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Okay and how do you shore it up around it?
MR. HA TIN-This particular case, these are commercial systems, this is the regular rings...
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Oh so they hove the part, like the man holes, okoy.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Is this going to be paved over where these, is that part going
to be paved?
MR. HATIN-I believe no.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-No. The only paving really is in the front, if your looking at it,
to the right and a little bit to the left. Right?
MR. LEGAULT-No paving to the left ...
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-No paving to the left.
MR. LEGAULT- ... grovel ...
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-It's all grovel then, the front, the side.
