Duly adopted this 6th day of August, 2012 by the following vote: AYES: Mr. Metivier, Mr. Strough, Mr. Brewer, Mr. Stec NOES: None ABSENT: Mr. Montesi BOARD OF HEALTH PUBLIC HEARING-SEWAGE DISPOAL VARIANCE APPLICATION OF ANTHONY DIBELLA NOTICE SHOWN PUBLICATION DATE: 7-25-2012 Supervisor Stec-This is for property located at 88 Rockhurst Road and the variances being sought is to allow an absorption field one foot from the westerly property line in lieu of ten feet and three foot from the northern property in lieu of ten feet. I know that last time that when we asked, when we set this public hearing REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 08-06-2012 MTG#17 370 we asked their agent Mr. MacElroy who is here to get us some information on test pits and perk tests and I believe that he has done that. The Town Board and the Clerk has all that. With that said I will open this public hearing and I will let the applicant address us and then field questions from the Town Board. Mr. Dennis MacElroy, Environmental Design representing the applicant and owner Tony DiBella for this property on Rockhurst Road as explained 88 Rockhurst Road. This is approximately ten thousand square foot lot somewhat typical of the Rockhurst Road area, which has an existing three bedroom home. The existing system is located under the paved driveway. It has served that residence for many years, forty years or so I guess it has been in existence. With the advent of some other improvements that have occurred in neighboring properties Tony had the interest in upgrading that system to Puraflo Peat fiber system. So, we looked at the property and where existing development was and where we could potentially put those modules and as you see on the plan submitted it is on the road side of the house located actually in this particular case it is beyond one hundred feet so that is not one of the variances that we need to seek. There would be a new septic tank a new pump tank with a duplex pump system, time dosed controlled that would pump effluent up to the modules that would be located in that strip of grass alongside the road between the garage and the road. Size for the three modules three hundred and thirty gallon a day flow rate. We have done the soils tests in that area we provided that to you to show that we have got sufficient depth to ground water and or ledge. In these cases we did not encounter either in those test pits. That is the improvements that the DiBella's hope to achieve here and be a new state of the art system another one we can check off as far as Rockhurst is concerned. Supervisor Stec-Any questions for the applicant before I open the public hearing? Councilman Strough-First of all you did a nice job planning this. I went up and looked at it I do not think anybody could have done better. I like your pro- active way of taking this with Puraflos minimizing the space and needs still suiting the needs of a three bedroom residence. The only question I have was, and I know you put the notes on the thing about the tanks being heavy duty is that going to be enough for vehicle loads? Engineer MacElroy-Yes, correct. Councilman Strough-I am pretty happy with this. Engineer MacElroy- Good Thank you. Supervisor Stec-I will open the public hearing and we will entertain any comments from the public on this sewage disposal variance application. Just raise you hand and I will call on people one at a time. Chris Mr. Chris Navitsky-Lake George Waterkeeper- Goodevening. We would like to say that we support the incorporation of the peat filter system for the replacement system which we feel provides a much better enhanced treatment for the effluent from the septic tank. We had a couple questions regarding the application and felt that there was possibly needed some additional information to determine potential impacts. We request the Board of Health require compliance with the Town Code REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 08-06-2012 MTG#17 371 and consider reasonable conditions during your deliberations. First off, we, I did not see the test pit information on the most recent submission, so I apologize if it was overlooked. We felt that it should be determined if a variance is required for a fill system within two hundred feet of the shore line. Notes state on page V2 that quote the treated effluent will be dispersed through the stone to the fill soils in the native overburden below. The fill soils and disposal pad areas should be retained by a stone or gravity retaining wall. So, we did not know if this was a fill system or if that could be clarified. Second question that we had was regarding the septic tank size, the first sheet states it is a fifteen hundred gallon septic tank the detail sheet on V2 in the narrative states it is a twelve fifty tank which should be clarified. The design waste flow our third question was on the design waste flow which the narrative states its one hundred and ten gallons per day per bedroom which is required for water saving fixtures, but according to the town website we did not know if there was construction after 1991. If there is not water conservation fixtures in there it is a higher design flow of one hundred and fifty gallons per bedroom. So, that should be looked at. We had a question on the soils information and I apologize if I overlooked that . The last consideration we had for the Board was if you could impose a condition on shore line buffers as per town code one thirty six dash eighteen b, states that the Board of Health shall prescribe and attach any reasonable conditions that it deems necessary. Shoreline buffers provide important water quality benefits such as uptake in nutrient's in ground water which can be associated with wastewater effluent. Shoreline buffer would be beneficial for the long term protection of Lake George which is used as a drinking water supply and contact recreation. That is all, thank you. Supervisor Stec-Ok, thank you. Is there any other comment on this application? Mr. Salvador Mr. John Salvador-Good evening, my name is John Salvador, I am a resident in North Queensbury. That map that you have before you VI you have it upper left hand corner it says deed reference I believe that it has been incorrectly noted. My drawing says Robert W. Wood and Lynn E Wood to Mary Eisenberg this is on the DiBella map. Councilman Brewer-Robert L. Wood Mr. Salvador-The deed reference Robert L. Wood I do not think that is correct. Secondly there is a map reference listed there and I believe you should require that the map reference be this map of the subdivision the Rockhurst Subdivision. I have copies of it here for you and for the applicant was well. Councilman Brewer-Why do you want us to use that? Mr. Salvador-Because this is the map referenced in their deed. (passed out map) This goes to separation distances. The subdivision plat is something that should be referenced on this permit. The map, the drawing submitted by the engineer do not define Rockhurst Road. The map scales Rockhurst Road as I see it here to twenty four feet wide. That is the scale dimension. The Highway Superintendent claims twenty feet and the subdivision plat authorizes sixteen feet. We need the lot dimension from the center line of Rockhurst Road. That is not shown here. We have no idea where this lot is, there is no fixed point anyplace. The lot line if you look here at the, you see the two iron pipe found closest to Rockhurst Road. Ok. REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 08-06-2012 MTG#17 372 There is no reference to where those are relative to the center line of the road. If it a, as I said ah, if it according to the deed that has got to be eight feet. If it is according to the Highway Superintendent it is ten feet. If it is according to this map it is twelve feet. Now the importance of this is that you must first locate that property line because it is that line that there are setting back for this variance approval. If that line is not in the right place relative to the center line of the road you could be sighting this absorption field on town property, on the town road by a foot with no setback what so ever. Just one other thing, I notice in the application that the applicant has included this owner statement and the owner is saying that by putting the septic tank or leaching field less than the required so many feet that is not filled in on my form, from V and that is not filled in, may increase the risk of pollution. There should be no chance for pollution with this variance, absolutely none what so ever. If we have such great confidence in this system that it is not going to pollute the lake why this owner statement? I just do not understand the need for this. If there is a need for this we have got problems. Councilman Strough-John before you go away, on the site plan V 1, take a look at that map up in the corner, I told you some maps we are seeing shows Bolton Line, Picnic Island and Long Island, Assembly Point. Mr. Salvador-It is not correct, this is not correct. Councilman Strough-I like that one. Mr. Salvador-You like this one Councilman Strough-Yea. Mr. Salvador-Well, get it official that is all you have to do. That issue does not impact this application that is why I have not mentioned it. But in any case what we are doing if we are not careful, we are going to be sighting these facilities on what the Highway Superintendent is claiming to be his right of way. The day may come when we have to, this town, may have to do some improvement within his claimed right of way and then you are going to have all these obstructions in there. Then you get people claiming that it is a taking it has got to be compensated for and all this sort of thing. They have absolutely no right to encroach on the right of way. It is not clear from this map that they are or are not. Supervisor Stec-Does anyone else what to address the Board on this application, yes, Sir. Mr. J. Arthur Norton-I have property on Rockhurst, I have had it since 1960 and I am aware of all the problems there and I do approve of this and you have my backing on it. I am interested, I got a kick out of the location of the width of that road but I have forgotten what Dean Howland was doing. I was there when he was laying in fact, he had wanted twenty five foot lots for the buildings in the beginning and I got him up to thirty five and most of them are a lot and a half. But anyway, talking about encroaching on the road half or most of the disposal fields are under the road in the farther down south. I back this very well. REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 08-06-2012 MTG#17 373 Supervisor Stec-Thank you, Sir. Anybody else want comment on this public hearing? Any comments from Board Members or maybe we get the applicant and Dennis to come back up and answer any questions that come up so far. Engineer MacElroy-Ok. I made a few notes, I may have missed a couple comments. First, regarding Chris's comments the fill soils. It's likely that during the construction I would have them over excavate the native soil and have a little bit more of what we refer to as Queensbury red dirt. It is a good sandy loam soil that might be used a little bit below the bed system. I would also point that the Queensbury Ordinance doesn't prohibit fill systems within two hundred feet of the lake when it is a replacement system. The hundred foot standard is still the standard for fill. Water saving fixtures Chis is right the hundred and ten gallons per day is related to modern fixtures, shower heads, toilets, that type of thing that all have been in place since 1991. So, Tony has indicated that they have had replacement fixtures in that time frame and if not all of them, all of them will be certainly by this construction and we can make that a condition of the approval if need be. Shore line buffers it is an opportunity to ask for that I do not know if it is necessarily connected to what is being done here, so I would not personally push for that. John comment regarding the deed reference, I think will probably offer John a job to proof read our plans. That is a mistake on my part the deed reference was a question of these two projects this one and the next one that are close together and we that sort of .. Supervisor Stec-Do we have the correct deed reference to substitute into this? Engineer MacElroy-Oh, certainly. Yes. I would also note in Chris, one other of Chris's comments was related to the test pit information. This is a variance plan, to seek the variance that we are requesting here the design plan would follow this and would have certainly have all that design information that is why you did not see it initially I have forwarded onto you. Supervisor Stec- He is nodding his head that, that makes sense to him, so thank you. Councilman Metivier-What about the size of the system? There are some Engineer MacElroy-The question about the fifteen hundred that is a typo. Councilman Brewer-It is twelve fifty on our map. Supervisor Stec-What is the actual size then? Engineer MacElroy-It is twelve fifty on your map Tim? Councilman Brewer-I think it says twelve fifty on the front page it said a thousand Engineer MacElroy-Sorry for any confusion the size of the proposed septic tank should be a thousand gallon minimum. Councilman Brewer-Pre-concrete concrete pump tank. REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 08-06-2012 MTG#17 374 Engineer MacElroy-Now I may have said in the basis of design that I suggested twelve fifty just to be conservative. The plan the one plan in that description by the septic tank it does say fifteen hundred so that is a typo that I will correct. Councilman Strough-Is it supposed to be one thousand? Engineer MacElroy-One thousand is a minimum size. Councilman Strough-So, I mean, there is nothing wrong with fifteen .. Engineer MacElroy-Oh, no not at all. Councilman Brewer-What is this here, what is the difference here? Councilman Strough-The other one is the duplex pump ... Councilman Brewer-That pumps a thousand. Engineer MacElroy-That is the pump tank, that is a thousand gallon tank. Councilman Brewer-The one up here in the center is fifteen hundred, ok. Engineer MacElroy-Correct and that should be twelve fifty. Councilman Strough-And it could be fifteen hundred, it is going to be more than one thousand or at least one thousand. Engineer MacElroy-Correct. Back onto John's comments, deed reference, road location, what we have based this lot depiction on is the survey. A survey that Tony had done, it is a VanDusen and Steves survey and that is our base map. Now, how that relates to a Coulter and McCormack survey and as you may be aware VanDusen and Steves are the holders of all Coulter and McCormack files. So, they certainly had access to this information to this information so I presume that the survey that they prepared is accurate depiction of the lot in question. Councilman Strough-To answer Chris's other question the test pit data shows that there is no evidence of ground water six to seven feet down, the type of sand for the most part is a sandy loam, perk tests eighteen, nineteen minutes per inch. As far as the buffer. I mean, I am the first one to love seeing buffers, but I am here for septic variance and you know if it was the Planning Board and you were putting an expansion on or something like than I would really force the buffer issue but I don't for septic issues. I see in this you have an existing septic underneath the driveway which is not a good arrangement. I am surprised it has lasted as it has. The new system, much better, even further away from the lake and a much more efficient system. So if anything is going to be polluting the lake it is what he has now. What you designed I think is the best we could do here given what you have. Supervisor Stec-Any last comments before I close this public hearing? Seeing none I will close this public hearing. Councilman Metivier-Do we need updated documents corrected documents or is that something that we get later on or how is that going to work? REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 08-06-2012 MTG#17 375 Engineer MacElroy-Well, right now there is a deed reference which was incorrect in the typo on the tank size or it is inconsistent with, is on what on sheet two. So, Town Counsel Bob Hafner-The minutes show it ... Supervisor Stec-We can condition the approval of on submitting an accurate for the town clerk's files an accurate Councilman Brewer-That will be the next map coming right. Engineer MacElroy-Well, if you wanted a correct it for the variance I would agree with Dan but the design plan that gets submitted to Dave Hatin's Office would be corrected. Councilman Brewer-It would be accurate. Supervisor Stec-We could also condition it on the low flow fixtures that are going to happen anyways or are mostly in place anyways but may as well put that in the Councilman Brewer-I do not know if you can buy any other than that can you. Supervisor Stec-Well no, not anymore Engineer MacElroy-You cannot now since 1991. Supervisor Stec-Somewhere there is a black market for high flow Councilman Brewer-I am sure there is somewhere. Supervisor Stec-Somebody is thinking about it. Any other discussion from the Town Board? No one spoke Asked for a motion. You will move it with those two conditions that we get corrected map submitted for the file for the Clerk's Office Councilman Strough-Well the design plan will be submitted to building and codes and all fixtures will be low flow performing. Supervisor Stec-Any further discussion. Hearing none lets go ahead and vote. RESOLUTION APPROVING ANTHONY DIBELLA'S APPLICATION FOR SANITARY SEWAGE DISPOSAL VARIANCES RESOLUTION NO.: 17, 2012 BOH INTRODUCED BY: Mr.Anthony Metivier WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION SECONDED BY: Mr. Tim Brewer REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 08-06-2012 MTG#17 376 WHEREAS, Anthony DiBella filed an application for variances from provisions of the Town of Queensbury On-Site Sewage Disposal Ordinance, Chapter 136 to allow an absorption field to be located: 1. 1' from the westerly property line in lieu of the required 10' setback; and 2. 3' from the northerly property line in lieu of the required 10' setback; on property located at 88 Rockhurst Road in the Town of Queensbury, and WHEREAS, the Town Clerk's Office published the Notice of Public Hearing in the Town's official newspaper and the Local Board of Health conducted a public hearing concerning the variance requests on Monday, August 6t',2012, and WHEREAS, the Town Clerk's Office has advised that it duly notified all property owners within 500 feet of the subject property, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that 1. due to the nature of the variances, the Local Board of Health determines that the variances would not be materially detrimental to the purposes and objectives of this Ordinance or other adjoining properties nor otherwise conflict with the purpose and objectives of any Town plan or policy; and 2. the Local Board of Health finds that the granting of the variances is necessary for the reasonable use of the land and is the minimum variances which would alleviate the specific unnecessary hardship found by the Local Board of Health to affect the applicant; and BE IT FURTHER, RESOLVED, that the Local Board of Health hereby approves Anthony DiBella's application for variances from the Sewage Disposal Ordinance to allow the absorption field to be located: 1. 1' from the westerly property line in lieu of the required 10' setback; and 2. 3' from the northerly property line in lieu of the required 10' setback; on property located at 88 Rockhurst Road in the Town of Queensbury, and bearing Tax Map No.: REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 08-06-2012 MTG#17 377 227.13-2-40, provided that the applicant will provide the town with a corrected map and that all water fixtures shall be low-flow fixtures prior to use of the new sanitary sewage disposal system. Duly adopted this 6t'day of August, 2012, by the following vote: AYES : Mr. Metivier, Mr. Strough, Mr. Brewer, Mr. Stec NOES : None ABSENT: Mr. Montesi PUBLIC HEARING ON SEWAGE DISPOSAL VARIANCE APPLICATION OF MARY & SHELDON EISENBERG NOTICE SHOWN PUBLICATION DATE: 7-25-2012 Supervisor Stec-This one is for property located at 98 Rockhurst Road just a little farther out. It is for a septic tank to be located four foot from a property line in lieu of ten. A pump tank to be located four feet from a property line in lieu of ten. A force main to be located seven feet from a property line in lieu of ten. A absorption field one feet and five feet from the property line in lieu of ten. An absorption field fifteen feet from the dwelling in lieu of twenty. An absorption field located ninety five feet from Lake George in lieu of one hundred. These are small lots which is why numerous variances are being sought from just about every line they can possibly even deal with which is not unusual in Rockhurst. With that said I will give it over to the applicant and his agent again Dennis. Engineer Dennis MacElroy-Thank you. Again, Dennis MacElroy Environmental Design representing Sheldon and Mary Eisenberg the owners of this property at 98 Rockhurst Road. As indicated in the listing of the variances requested there are seven in fact and it is primarily for property line setbacks. This is a lot that is roughly a hundred feet deep and therefore the location of the field the absorption field proposed again of a Puraflo Peat Fiber bioflow filtration system will be approximately ninety five feet from the lake shore where one hundred feet is required. This is a replacement system, this is the location that seemed to be the best possible location to get it away from the lake and to again provide that enhanced treatment the puraflo technology provides. The existing system as it is, it is actually two different systems on each side of the house, there is a little bit of flow that goes to each side. That obviously is much closer than one hundred feet to the lake as it currently exists. The Eisenberg's I think we're encouraged perhaps by their neighbor to the south who also has received approval for a puraflo system to be installed. They thought that it was a good way to go, so that consolidation of their flow to one tank and the dispersal up alongside the road in what is now a landscaped area won't diminish parking or anything like that on their part. But, just to go through the variances; the septic tank and pump tank would be located on the southerly side of the house location and just because of the amount of room that there is it cannot be located ten feet from the property line which is the typical REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 08-06-2012 MTG#17 378 standard. So, we have got deficiencies there and seek relief for the septic tank location and the pump tank location and then naturally the force main that leaves the pump tank can't be ten feet from the property line, so there are three of the setbacks relief that we are asking for there. As previously mentioned the absorption field itself is ninety five from the lake instead of a hundred feet required and being up by the road, we are seeking relief from the side property the northern property and to the road property line. Again, we have a survey that we have based this lot location and dimensions from. The last variance is again the area of the dispersal field is fifteen feet from the dwelling where twenty feet is the standard requirement. In trying the site a replacement field on these lots on these undersized or smaller lots along Rockhurst really we are trying to make a situation better by going up into that corner and the mitigation of all that is providing the puraflo treatment system. So, that effluent that is being dispersed to the soils is of higher quality than what you get from a conventional system or even the Elgin Systems which are pretty common as well along the lake. So, I think the owners have taken that step to make a situation better at their property. Supervisor Stec-Any questions from the Town Board before I open the public hearing? Councilman Metivier-What are you going to do with the existing tanks now, are you going to pull them up or fill? Engineer MacElroy-In both, well in the case to the south that tank will be removed. In the case to the north that tank would simply be filled in,just because of its location and ability to get the machine there. Councilman Metivier-But will they be pumped out before Engineer MacElroy-Certainly, pumped out either excavated or filled in. Councilman Metivier-What do you fill with these days, sand or stone? Engineer MacElroy-What do you fill them with? Whatever is easiest to get in whatever opening you have got. In the case of that tank on the north side, I would say I would suspect it would be sand. Councilman Metivier-Is there any absorption fields for either of these tanks now? Engineer MacElroy-Of some sort, yes, I am not sure that even the Eisenberg's are certain of what they are because they have not owned it for that long. They know the general area we know that, well the one to the north is not, excuse me, the one to the north does have a pump so that indicates that it could be up close to the area where we are proposing. We did not find any indication of it during the test pits. The one to the south is gravity so it's got to be down in that area closer to the lake. Supervisor Stec-I will open the public hearing if there are any public comment on this sewage disposal variance application I will just ask people to raise their hand. Mr. Navitsky REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 08-06-2012 MTG#17 379 Mr. Chris Navitsky-Lake George Waterkeeper Again, for this application we support the incorporation of the peat filter system for the replacement and we believe that will provide a much better treatment. We do not oppose the variances that are requested. We did seek some clarification and I appreciate Mr. MacElroy's explanation on the fill system. Again, we had that comment we did not know if there was going to be fill required, if this was going to be a raised system. Second comment again similar to our last one on the water saving fixtures, we did not know if those were involved. This was a five bedroom house so obviously higher waste flows. Soil investigation information again, I did not see that and I appreciated that explanation, thought I might be losing my touch if I am overlooking things. Again, we feel we would request the consideration for shore line buffer, again it is important for water quality the uptake of nutrients and ground water to protect the lake and to protect the drinking water supply and contact recreations. Thank you. Supervisor Stec-Thank you. Anybody else, Mr. Salvador Mr. John Salvador-John Salvador again for your record. The purpose of me make available that subdivision plot was to show that there is a required ten foot setback from the road for any kind of infiltration. You see that I have highlighted it. Now there is a purpose for that; number 1 it is a very narrow road as it was on the map it was sixteen feet. Secondly there could come a day when you might have to put utilities in that right of way. The significance of the Highway Superintendent's claim to twenty foot road is that it appears on his highway inventory that he submits every year. It forms a basis for the Chips reimbursement. So, that is a matter of public record and he can make that claim any time, it's in he has done it. That is his territory, we should not encroach on it. The center line of the pavement is not always the center line of the right of way. Pavement can meander through the right of way and often does. I do not know if we have given any consideration to the amount of disturbance that this project, or both of these projects are going to cause being so close to the road. Start excavating are you going to undermine the road. More importantly it would be nice to put a cost comparison together for what one of these systems is going to cost and it is not going to be cheap. Because what you have here are two components of a step system already in place. You have got the septic tank that is primary treatment and you have got the pump station which would, it already takes it to force main, now all you need is the header running down the road taking the wastewater off the peninsula and then we could use this modern technology for infiltration someplace like the fire house area and then take the polished effluent and dump it in the wetland and we get that wastewater off that peninsula which is very important. Now, what all these people are going to do on an individual basis they are going to go and spend a ton of money putting in the system and we are still going to have a problem with pollution of the lake. So, I think the Town should take a leadership role in this area and take a look at what this is costing and how inexpensive a step system could be with the availability of the new technology we have for infiltration and availability of land. Thank you. Supervisor Sec-Thank you, John. Anybody else like to comment this evening? Mr. Norton Mr. J. Arthur Norton-I will not repeat my earlier remarks but I am a neighbor of, for this applicant that I am the directly north neighbor and I see no problem with it. REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 08-06-2012 MTG#17 380 I think it is a great improvement to the point in all the systems and I hope that others will get the same idea and get them going. I think it sounded great when he said put a system in but I know that has been worked at for decades. Ok, I do approve of this. Supervisor Stec-Thank you, Sir. Anybody else? Comments from Board Members? Councilman Metivier-I just have one more. Actually no I don't I read that wrong, I am fine. I thought that the rocks were on the road but they are not. Supervisor Stec-Anything else for us Dennis? Engineer MacElroy-Well I not really the same response regarding fill soils, low flow fixtures, shore line buffers in the previous application. Regarding you know the road width and I understand or appreciate somewhat what John is saying the point being here we are taking this lot this physical lot that we have a proper survey of and it is not in the road surface and we are designing a system that is on that lot. Now what happens where the road is in relation not to be callus but I do not care beyond the fact that it is not in the road. Our system is on our property and that is the important thing to me in terms of this. Councilman Strough-John always comes up with something interesting like this and I do not disagree with John I agree with John about having some kind of a master system being the ultimate way to go. But, we are not there yet, but I think he is trying to push us in that direction and I commend him for that. But, I am also looking at you know this shows a house about twenty by thirty size of a small garage and it shows the cesspool should be a minimum of ten foot from the edge of the property row. Now we have gone quite a ways I hope, from cesspools Engineer MacElroy-on that map you are saying, yes. Councilman Strough-On this map. So, we have what we have and we have a house that is bigger than twenty by thirty and closer to the road and the applicant has shown that they are going to establish some kind of barrier to prevent cars from driving on that very expensive system. I think again Dennis, I think it is a well- designed system. Now, Mr. Eisenberg do you have new fixtures in your house? Mr. Eisenberg-The house I believe was renovated in 1998 and all the bathrooms were renovated. So, they have low flow. Councilman Strough-So, the low flow toilets and that kind of thing so that to your advantage especially these systems do require a little bit more attention than your usual system but they are more efficient, they are more protective of the lake and you know in looking at this plan I do not know how Dennis could have done any better of putting what he did where it is. It is the nature of the beast and I think he did a pretty good job so the same kind of issue might come up here, I do not if you plan on putting in a fifteen hundred gallon tank or a one thousand gallon tank if it is the same issue as the last one. I am sure you will submit a corrected ... Engineer MacElroy-This is all correct and fine, it is a fifteen hundred gallon tank for that particular system. One thing, I do not want to take any more of your time REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 08-06-2012 MTG#17 381 than we have but what one of the important points of this design and you have been generous in your compliments of the system and the technology but one of the important parts of this is the time dose system from a pumping system. Because, what that does and in a pumping tank that is a thousand gallons so it is a little bit larger than normal but it provides regular time dosed distribution to the field over a twenty four hour day. As opposed to surge loading when we all get up in the morning and get ready and use water and whatever, and then there is a lot of pumping events to that system. So, it potentially saturates it quickly and then there is a long rest time. Well, with the time dosed system it pumps and the simple example is every three hours it gets a dose but over the twenty four hours and Councilman Brewer-It gets the same amount just a little bit at a time. Engineer MacElroy-Correct. And that gives constant feeding to the microorganism that are at work in that system, that is an important part of that design and it doesn't necessarily have to be limited to a Puraflo System. It can be used in any pump system and I have transition in all the designs that I do now that involved pump systems use a time dosed system because it just it will extend the life of any septic system. Councilman Strough-Do you warn your clients against having a garbage disposals with this ... Engineer MacElroy-Correct. That is in the notes, if you saw that in the design basis, not recommended certainly. Councilman Metivier-Is that pumping system something that came about after the first systems were designed that were failing or is it something Engineer MacElroy-No, I think it is just the evolution of the technology of having that and I think for five years or so it has been available. I think I have been designing with those systems for four or five years. Time does distribution is how it is referred to. Councilman Metivier-I would have never thought of that. Supervisor Stec-For Chris and anybody else that is interested there is no evidence of ground water five to six foot in depth or ledge and perk tests just were dug, perk test is seven to nine minutes per inch, which is better than the other one in terms of slowing it down and in terms of the buffer. I am the first one to say everyone in Lake George put a buffer in for their own benefit to maintain their property values but also maintain the health of the lake. But I will not require it for this, but I certainly am glad Chris keeps bring it up because the more news gets out maybe when they do their re-landscaping a couple of years down the road maybe they will put that buffer in. Supervisor Stec-I will close the public hearing and entertain a motion.

The Town Board will operate and be the governing body for the District and intends to appoint a District Advisory Board to provide recommendations on various matters relating to the District. The proposed aquatic plant control plan consists of a three year treatment program that includes annual Lake assessments, annual water quality testing, triennial aquatic vegetation surveys, hand harvesting and aquatic herbicide treatment. Hand harvesting will be completed by a contractor hired by the Town and the Town Highway Department will assist in disposal of the removed vegetation at one of the Town's facilities. The application of aquatic herbicide will also be completed by a contractor hired by the Town. The Town's contractor will be responsible for obtaining all permits required prior to the application of the aquatic herbicide. Following the aquatic herbicide treatment, a full aquatic survey of the Lake will be performed once sufficient time has elapsed for the herbicide to be effective. The results of this survey, in conjunction with previous observations, will be used to determine areas of primary and secondary concern for treatment the following year. The capital improvements proposed for the District include the construction of improvements necessary to create an adequate boat launch access drive area along the Lake to function as an access point for hired contractors to implement the annual district management activities planned including hand harvesting and herbicide treatments. Currently the Town does not own land adjoining the lakeshore; however, a shoreline REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 08-06-2012 MTG#17 392 property owner has agreed to an easement which will provide the required lake access. In return for the easement the District will be required to pay the land owner $2,000 upon recording of the easement in addition to waiving the yearly District tax for the encumbered parcel. 3. The maximum estimated cost of formation of the proposed District is approximately $14,330, including engineering, survey, legal, and miscellaneous costs and fees. To reduce initial impacts to the parcel owners within the District, the Town of Queensbury has agreed to pay the capital improvement and formation costs on behalf of the District, with the District repaying such expenses back to the Town in five equal yearly installments plus interest at an annual interest rate of one percent. The maximum cost associated with the capital improvements is estimated to be approximately $1,000. Initially a boundary survey will be completed to clearly mark and identify the lake access parcel boundaries. In addition, the removal of a tree which may interfere with direct access to the shoreline and other minor improvements will be necessary for continued long-term use of the access location. Other associated potential costs with the lake access could be incurred or necessary in the future depending on the scale of the treatments and types of equipment required to perform treatment activities. Costs for future possible expenses related to lake access are budgeted in the yearly operations costs. These costs would likely include; maintenance of the shoreline, re-vegetation and repairs to the existing lawn, and site improvements to provide an improved permanent staging area to allow treatment activities to take place. To reduce initial impacts to the parcel owners within the District, the Town of Queensbury has agreed to pay the capital improvement and formation costs on behalf of the District, with the District repaying such expenses back to the Town in five equal yearly installments plus interest at an annual interest rate of one percent. The yearly costs associated with operation and maintenance of the District will vary depending on the size of the treatment areas and the treatment method scheduled to be utilized that year. These costs, based on a schedule of two years of hand harvesting followed by a year of aquatic pesticide application, will be approximately $9,612 in the first and second years of the triennial treatment program and $21,712 in the third year. Therefore, the typical three-year cost associated with operation and maintenance activities is estimated to be approximately $40,936. The District costs will be amortized over the three year treatment cycle to maintain a District fund balance and relatively equal assessments each year. Upon repayment of the formation and capital improvement costs back to the Town, the cost would reduce simply to the O&M costs in 2018. The benefit assessment formula (BAF) has been developed on the basis of a "benefit unit." The basic benefit unit for the proposed District is a lakefront parcel of land with one residential dwelling unit, being a typical one family home, and constitutes the majority of properties in the District. The major factor evaluated in deriving the recommended BAF was lakefront vs. non-lakefront lake access parcels. In addition, consideration must be given for properties of land with more or less dwellings units located upon them. These properties will have varying impact on the lake due to a more or less intense use of their property, and alternatively will receive proportionate benefit from the District management activities. The benefit units will be assessed, in addition to or in lieu of the one benefit unit based upon REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 08-06-2012 MTG#17 393 proportionate ratios for lakefront vs. non-lakefront lake access parcels and the number of dwelling units present on the parcel. Benefit Unit(BU) Determination and Criteria: BU Variable One: Each parcel of land within the District = 0.5 Plus BU Variable Two: Lakefront (LF) Parcel= 0.5 Non-Lakefront Lake Access (LA) Parcel= 0 Plus BU Variable Three: Dwelling Unit Factor(DU) = 1.0 per DU The total benefit units for each parcel in the District have been calculated and are listed in Appendix E. Based upon the above benefit unit assessment criteria developed, there are a total of 179 Benefit Units within the District, excluding the lake access parcel to be utilized by easement for treatment activities. The Total BU calculated would be multiplied by the Benefit Tax per Benefit Unit to determine the yearly cost for each parcel. The costs that will be distributed to each property on a benefit basis are the district formation costs, capital improvement costs, and annual operation and maintenance costs of the District. 4. All of the properties within the proposed District will be benefited and the method proposed to tax based on the degree of benefit will be a fair and appropriate way to pay for the District's expenses. 5. As noted above, the capital improvement costs will be distributed to each property on a benefit basis annually, so there will be no debt service costs related to the proposed District. 6. A typical property located within the District would be considered a lakefront property with a single family dwelling upon it. The estimated annual cost of the District to the typical property in the District will be approximately $188 for years one through five. Upon repayment of the formation and capital improvement costs back to the Town, the cost would reduce simply to the O&M costs and would be approximately $152 for year six and beyond. 7. A detailed explanation of how the estimated costs of the District were computed is included in the Map, Plan and Report which has been filed with the Queensbury Town Clerk and is available for public inspection. 8. The Town Board hereby determines to conduct uncoordinated SEQRA review of the proposed District establishment. 9. The Town Board shall meet and hold a public hearing at the Queensbury Activities Center, 742 Bay Road, Queensbury at 7:00 p.m., on Monday, August 20th, 2012 to REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 08-06-2012 MTG#17 394 consider the Map, Plan and Report and to hear all persons interested in the proposal and to take such other and further action as may be required or authorized by law. 10. The Town Board hereby authorizes and directs the Queensbury Town Clerk to duly publish and post this Order not less than ten (10) days nor more than twenty (20) days before the public hearing date, as required by Town Law §209-d, and complete or arrange for the securing of two (2) Affidavits of Publication of Notice and two (2) Affidavits of Posting of Notice of the Public Hearing required hereby and to file a certified copy of this Order with the State Comptroller on or about the date of publication.
