SECONDED BY: Mr. Harrison Freer
WHEREAS, the Lakewood Homeowners Association (HOA), a 14-lot single family home
subdivision located along Lakewood Drive within the Towns of Queensbury and Fort Ann, has
advised the Town that the HOA will be submitting a permit application to the New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) for its community septic system (system)
installed in approximately 1982 but which system apparently never received a NYSDEC
wastewater discharge permit, and
WHEREAS, the HOA indicates that it will be making a submission to NYSDEC and has
asked that the Town provide a written statement making clear its position on becoming a
permittee and/or system operator in relation to this system, and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that the Town Board hereby determines that Town operation and maintenance
of this system is not a viable option as this is an existing system, located mostly in Washington
County and the Town has no current right to enter onto the private property for purposes of
maintenance and repair, and therefore, the Town does not wish to operate or be the permittee in
relation to the system, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Town Board authorizes the Town Supervisor and/or Town Counsel
to issue a letter to the appropriate State agency or department setting forth the Town's position
on this matter and further authorizes the Town Supervisor and/or Town Counsel to take any further
actions necessary to effectuate the purpose of this Resolution.
