WHEREAS, Janet M. Westcott (Applicant) filed an application for a variance from Town of

obtain a variance for holding tanks, as the Applicant wishes to replace an existing wastewater system
with a new, 3,000 gallon holding tank system, and
WHEREAS, the Applicant has also applied for additional variances from Chapter 136 to allow
placement of such holding tank system:
1. 1' from the west property line in lieu of the required 10' setback; and

on property located at 50 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 3rd, 2015, 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

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
