Presently the home is served by a unknown sized seepage pit which is far from adequate and they desire to bring the parcel up to the town's current on-site wastewater system standards. Given the terrain and site constraints, it is not feasible to install an absorption field system, therefore we are pursuing the holding tank system. A change of Deed for the property occurred on September 1 , 2022_ The required septic inspection found the existing wastewater system to be deficient. Presently the house is served by a seepage pit, which is far from adequate and the applicants desire to install (2) 1500-gallon tanks to support the existing 1 -bedroom cottage. Relief is requested for the installation of the holding tank system which is detailed in the application . We are also requesting a 6 month extension from the property transfer law requirements for the installation of the holding tank system and force main, Enclosed please find ten submission packages for this project. We respectfully request, if possible, that this item be placed upon the agenda of the next town board meeting. Please contact me if you have any questions or if you require additional information .
