PUBLIC HEARING- SANITARY SEWAGE DISPOSAL VARIANCE OF THE ESTATE OF
BARBARA C. BARRY
PUBLICATION DATE: OCTOBER 20, 2017
NOTICE SHOWN
SUPERVISOR STROUGH- We left the public hearing open. We did a site visit. We have a situation
where it's the estate of Barbara Barry and there's a proposed buyer. This is at 3 Glen Hall Drive. The
proposal is to put in two 1,500 gallon holding tanks for a total of 3,000 gallons. Tom Center is the
engineer and the agent is Mike O'Connor. Holding tanks, because of probably the size of the lot and
also because of the relationship with the adjoining wells of the adjoining lots. It's a pre-existing 50 foot
lot. There was a prior camp here, it's been demolished and removed. This new owner proposes to
Vr ace that former camp. So we dealt with this October 16th and we set a public hearing for November
6t and we had that public hearing on November 6th and then we had some questions. We wanted to do
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 11-20-2017, MTG 439 519
a site visit so we did do the site visit Friday on November 17th at 3pm and so with that as an
introduction I will let the Agent and or the Engineer elaborate further if you wish to.
MICHAEL O'CONNOR, AGENT- Thank you Mr. Strough. This is a proposal for two holding tanks
that will be capable of being parked on. We have more details for you tonight. Tom has actually put
some of the engineering notes on there as to the alarm system as to what kind of a ...put into the
ground. I also have with me, I just received in my hands earlier today a set of plans for the actual house
being built...(presented to Board Members the blue prints of house).
COUNCILMAN BREWER- Is that the only difference in the map, Mike;just the engineering notes on
it, than what we had last week?
TOM CENTER, ENGINEER- Yes, that's correct. We added the holding tank notes, the holding tank
themselves...
COUNCILMAN BREWER- Okay.
MR. CENTER, ENGINEER- The location with the well set...
SUPERVISOR STROUGH- So Tom the elevation of the house and the elevation of the holding tanks
are such that they'll be gravity fed or ...
MR. CENTER, ENGINEER-No, actually a grinder pump installed in the residence which will pump it
to the holding tank.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH- So where will that grinder pump be located, in the house?
MR. CENTER, ENGINEER-No, it will be located...underneath the residence.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Okay.
MR. CENTER, ENGINEER- It's a poly tank with a grinder pump... it also comes with alarms...the
actual grinder pump system to the house within the building...
SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Okay. How many bedrooms?
MR. O'CONNOR, AGENT- Two bedrooms.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Okay, yeah alright, now I see it. Any questions for the applicant or the
agent?
COUNCILMAN CLEMENTS- I just have one. The last time we were here you said there would be
either two 1,500 gallon tanks or three 1,000 gallon tanks, are you still...
MR. O'CONNOR, AGENT- No, we come to two 1,500 gallon tanks as shown on this plan.
COUNCILMAN CLEMENTS- Okay.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Well, the public hearing is still open. Let's see if there's a member of the
public that wants to speak to this. If there is, I'll ask you to sit down temporarily and then I'll ask you
to come back and maybe respond. Is there any member of the public that wishes to speak to this
application? Seeing none, okay.
COUNCILMAN FERONE- Supervisor Strough, we don't need to go into specifics but one of the
things we've talked about that day was how... parking was going to be over the top of the tank?
MR. O'CONNOR, AGENT- Yes.
COUNCILMAN FERONE- Okay. So the tanks would have to be engineered, yeah.
MR. O'CONNOR, AGENT- Traffic top tanks.
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 11-20-2017, MTG 439 520
MR. CENTER, ENGINEER- Those are within the notes on that drawing.
COUNCILMAN FERONE- Okay.
MR. O'CONNOR, AGENT- Traffic graded tanks with traffic graded...
COUNCILMAN BREWER- We've got a note right here, George.
MR. O'CONNOR, AGENT- Also, we are going to 1,500...
SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Plus you...
MR. O'CONNOR, AGENT- Keep the tanks in the middle and it worked.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH- And I'm glad that you did the buoyancy calculation, that's nice. Any
further questions?
COUNCILMAN BREWER- No, I think no issue really. The holding tank is probably the safest thing
out there. It's not going anywhere, it's in a tank and when it gets to a certain level, it shuts off. I'm
pretty set with it, I think.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Everyone comfortable? Anyone want to make a motion?
COUNCILMAN BREWER- I'll make it.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Alright, Resolution to approve made by Councilman Brewer.
COUNCILMAN METIVIER- I'll second.
