CHAPTER 136 – SEWERS AND SEWAGE DISPOSAL
RESOLUTION NO.: 363, 2005
INTRODUCED BY: Mr. Theodore Turner
WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY: Mr. Roger Boor
WHEREAS, the Queensbury Town Board is authorized by Town Code Chapter 136 to issue
§
variances from 136-44 “Connection to sewers required” which requires Town property owners
situated within a sewer district and located within 250’ of a public sanitary sewer of the sewer district
to connect to the public sewer facilities within one (1) year from the date of notice, and
WHEREAS, William and Rose Minarchi applied to the Local Board of Health for a
§
variance/waiver from 136-44 as the Minarchi’s wish not to make the connection of their Brown’s
Welcome Inn property located at 932 Route 9, Queensbury to the Town of Queensbury’s Route 9
Sewer District, as all plumbing in the basements of the three buildings on the property would have to
be reversed and new drainage pipes installed as the tap is located at the rear of the property and such
work would cost in excess of $12,500 (plus the costs of blacktop repairs), as more fully delineated in
the Minarchis’ application, and
WHEREAS, the Town Clerk’s Office mailed a Notice of Hearing to the Minarchis and the
st
Town Board conducted a hearing concerning the variance/waiver request on August 1, 2005,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that
a) due to the nature of the variance/waiver request, the Queensbury Town Board determines
that the variance/waiver would not be materially detrimental to the purposes and objectives
of Queensbury Town Code Chapter 136 and/or adjoining properties or otherwise conflict
with the purpose and objectives of any plan or policy of the Town of Queensbury; and
b) the Town Board finds that the granting of the variance/waiver is reasonable and would
alleviate unnecessary hardship on the applicants; and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Queensbury Town Board hereby approves William and Rose Minarchi’s
§
application for a variance/waiver from Queensbury Town Code Chapter 136, 136-44 “Connection to
st
sewers required” and hereby grants the Minarchis a two-year extension of time or until August 1,
2007 in which to connect their Brown’s Welcome Inn property located at 932 State Route 9,
Queensbury to the Town of Queensbury’s Route 9 Sewer District, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Town Board authorizes the Town Supervisor, Wastewater Director,
Deputy Wastewater Director and/or Budget Officer to take any actions necessary to effectuate the
terms of this Resolution.
