VARIANCES FOR JOHN AND KATHLEEN SALVADOR
RESOLUTION NO.: 3. 99
INTRODUCED BY: Mr. Richard Merrill
WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY: Mr. Theodore Turner
WHEREAS, John and Kathleen previously filed an application for five (5) variances from
provisions of the Town of Queensbury On-Site Sewage Disposal Ordinance, such application
requesting that variances be granted to allow:
1.a fiberglass, stainless steel (type 404) or equivalent septic tank rather than the required pre-
cast reinforced concrete holding tank;
2.a minimum 200 gallon holding tank capacity rather than the required minimum 2,000
gallon holding tank capacity;
3.that no field test be required for determination of high seasonal groundwater as applicants
state that this has already been determined;
4.that the holding tank be located within the perimeter of the hunting and fishing cabin rather
than located 10’ from a “dwelling” as required; and
5.that the holding tank be installed above grade (above 100 year flood level of 321.0’ MSL)
rather than below finished grade as required;
and
WHEREAS, a notice of public hearing was given in the official newspaper of the Town of
st
Queensbury and a public hearing was held in connection with the variance requests on December 21,
1998, and
WHEREAS, the Town Clerk advises that property owners within 500 feet of the subject
property have been duly notified,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED,
a) that due to the nature of the variances, it is felt that the variations would 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; and
b) 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 granted are the minimum variances
which would alleviate the specific unnecessary hardship found by the Local Board of
Health to affect the applicants;
and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Town of Queensbury Local Board of Health hereby approves, with
conditions, the application of John and Kathleen Salvador for variances from the Sewage Disposal
