PUBLIC HEARING— Sewage Disposal Variance Application of Judy Pontiff
PUBLICATION DATE: December 8, 2017
DENNIS MACELROY-I am Dennis MacElroy with Environmental Design representing the property
owner Judy Pontiff for this Board of Health variance application. With me also is the applicant Craig
Fredette. Craig hopes to purchase this property and as it currently is situated, it shares a septic system,
an onsite septic system with the property to the south which is also owned by Mrs. Pontiff. In the
future, perhaps over time, when either through operational issues or just the property ownership, may
Regular Town Board Meeting, 12-18-2017, Mtg#42 561
have to have an option for wastewater, this proposal with the holding tanks provides that option. That
option of being able to go to a holding tank in the future.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-So they are not going to do it now?
MR. MACELROY-Correct.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-And the other resident who is John Ellis sent us a letter saying that he
resides at 54 Sunnyside North and he writes in support of the sanitary variances being requested for my
neighboring property to the south and I have reviewed the proposed plan and understand and am in
agreement with the variances as requested. My own property is served by a holding tank system so I
am aware of the difficulty of meeting the required setbacks on the small lakeside lots. Thank you for
your review of this request and please understand that I have no objection to the approval of this
application. (letter of support on file in the Town Clerk's Office)
MR. MACELROY-Mr. Ellis is here tonight as well in support of this application.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Do members of the Town Board have questions.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-I have one question for the attorney. Can we approve a variance that's not
going to take place? I mean it may at some point but it's not going to happen right now.
COUNCILMAN METIVIER-I think they get renewed, I think they get renewed every year, right?
MR. MACELROY-No, a variance runs with the land.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Understood but he's asking for a variance that he's not going to do unless
he has to right? Is that what you're telling us?
COUNCILMAN CLEMENTS-I don't think he will do it until he purchases the property.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Alright,just until he purchases the property, I thought, I misunderstood
you then.
MR. MACELROY-Well, I'm not saying...
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Am I misunderstanding you or am I understanding you?
MR. MACELROY-No, well, let me restate it to make it clear. My understanding is that this is a
provision for an option for a wastewater system in the future.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Right.
MR. MACELROY-Whether it's next year or five years from now because it's currently shared, on a
shared system that is functional, operational and as the owner of the property...
COUNCILMAN BREWER-I've never...
MR. MACELROY-Well, I think that we've done this...
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Well I won't say that we haven't but I've been around a long time and I
can't remember ever doing it. I won't say that we haven't but I just don't recall.
MR. MACELROY-It's a buyer's insurance that you know in time...
Regular Town Board Meeting, 12-18-2017, Mtg#42 562
COUNCILMAN BREWER-No, I understand that point but legally.
TOWN COUNSEL MICHAEL CROWE-I guess, the point being, if it's in the plans, what they're
asking for is part of the plans and proposals that they are putting forward, the variance can be granted
if it's acted upon or if it's not acted upon, can be the decision of the applicant.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Suppose,just hypothetically, he sells the land ten years from now and it's
never, it never happens?
TOWN COUNSEL CROWE-The variances are still approved.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-They are still approved?
TOWN COUNSEL CROWE-They would not need re-approval.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Do we need to approve from both parties or just the one party? Well, no,
I guess it wouldn't matter from the other party because it's a shared system now.
TOWN COUNSEL CROWE-You would not need new variances but you may have some oversight in
the construction or the buildout of whatever is proposed but the variance would still exist. They would
not have to come back for a variance.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Okay, as long as it's...
MR. MACELROY-What an applicant would have to do is get a septic disposal permit from Building
and Codes, that's the next step from Dave's department, correct. Right now, this grants the variance, it
allows the applicant to make that application.
COUNCILMAN FERONE-And this protects him in the event that Ms. Pontiff sells the other property
and whoever buys that property doesn't want to share that septic any longer.
MR. MACELROY-Correct. That's exactly correct.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-I get that so he's in a position so that he can have this variance. Okay, its
fine, I guess I just, it's unusual, I just don't ever remember doing this.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Any other questions from the Board? Any member of the public have a
question in regards to this variance? Question or observation? Seeing none. Thank you Dennis for
accommodating us that did the site visit that day and came up with this. It delayed it a couple of weeks
but I think we have a better plan. So, if there's no further questions, is there a motion?

RESOLUTION NO.: BOH 43,2017
INTRODUCED BY: Mr. Anthony Metivier
WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY: Mr. George Ferone
Regular Town Board Meeting, 12-18-2017, Mtg#42 563
WHEREAS, Judy Pontiff (Applicant) applied to the Local Board of Health for variances from
Chapter 136, §136-11 which requires an applicant to obtain a variance for a holding tank, as the Applicant

REGULAR SESSION
2.0 PUBLIC HEARING—Enacting Amendment to Ordinance No. 30 and its Subsequent
Amendments Concerning Increase in Fees Associated with Town Building Permit Process
Regular Town Board Meeting, 12-18-2017, Mtg#42 565
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Dave, would you mind coming up and speaking to the proposed
Ordinance Number 30 increasing fees associated with the town building permit process?
MR. DAVE HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-I guess is there any questions from the Board? I
can explain the process that I went through if you'd like to hopefully make sense.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Well first of all it hasn't been done since 2001, right?
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-Correct.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-And so you went and you kind of ascertained about how long it takes us
and the fees that we're looking at are closer to the approximate costs of doing business.
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-Yea, it was kind of a drawn out process. There is no exact
science to this, there is no place you can go and look for what municipalities charge. The fees,
everybody does it differently. Some people by the cost of construction, some people by the square
foot. Some just have flat fees that escalate ... So what I did was try to analyze the cost of salaries, the
cost of benefits, cost of vehicles, travel expenses to sites, clerical staff review, staff review .... and roll
that all into a formula, if you want to call it that, and I came up with a cost per inspection and then
multiplied that out by the number of inspections that we actually do on the average permits and it
seems to cover the costs. There are some permits where we are going to break even, some will go
over, some will go under, and it's not perfect science. But I think it's the closest I could come to, to
make it fair and equitable to all parties. So, that's where we came up with these numbers.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-So an example would be, let me say, I'm going to put a deck or a porch,
the 2001 fee was ten cents (10) per square foot or a minimum of sixty dollars ($60.00). The new fee
will be twenty cents (.20)per square foot with a minimum of a hundred and twenty-five dollars
($125.00). Solar panels, the 2001 fee was thirty dollars ($30.00), the new fee is seventy-five dollars
($75.00). Carport, it would be fifteen cents (.15) per square foot, minimum of fifty dollars ($50.00),
the current will be seventy-five dollars ($75.00) flat fee. Cell towers a hundred ($100.00), the new one
will be a hundred and fifty ($150.00). A shed was forty (40), the new one will be seventy-five (75)
unless it's over three hundred feet (300') then it will be a garage fee, right.
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-Correct.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-A pavilion, pole barn, canopy, gazebo was forty dollars ($40.00), it will
not be seventy-five dollars ($75.00). A dock was forty (40), now it will be seventy-five (75) and so
forth. There's two pages, I just want to give the public an idea of what we're proposing here to
increase the fees. Questions from Town Board Members for Dave about the fee increases?
COUNCILMAN CLEMENTS-I just have two and they're both dealing, one is dealing with a dock and
the other is boat house, with or without a sundeck. I realize that they can be done on Glen Lake, Lake
Sunnyside. Does that include Lake George?
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-Yes.
COUNCILMAN CLEMENTS-It does?
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-Yes.
COUNCILMAN CLEMENTS-I didn't think that we had jurisdiction over the docks.
Regular Town Board Meeting, 12-18-2017, Mtg#42 566
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-According to the Supreme Court we have no jurisdiction
when it comes to the zoning but we do have jurisdiction when it comes to building permits and
structural issues relating to building permits because of building codes. So we can require dock
permits.
COUNCILMAN CLEMENTS-Ok, that's interesting, I thought you would have somebody that would,
okay, I just wanted to, thank you.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Okay, anybody else, questions? Okay, it is a public hearing, I will open
to the public, is there any member of the public that wishes to speak to the amendment to Ordinance
Number 30 concerning increase in fees associated with the Town Building Permit process. Yes sir.
Thank you Dave.
RON BALL-Good evening everyone, Ron Ball, Queensbury. It appears like everything has doubled or
even gone more than doubled, all the fees. And what it looks like to me is like John took the couch
cushions and started shaking for change and this is how he increases all the taxes in Queensbury by
starting off little things like that. I just think the building code department should be, they are all
professionals in there and we shouldn't go to use any outside help at all and it should be done in our
department and everything should be reviewed there and nothing should be sent to Chazen for another
review. That's a total cost that isn't necessary when we pay all these people quite well I believe and
they're all professionals and they know their job and I think you can draw the line here and maybe
even back it off a little bit to encourage people to start building. And the more taxes you put on solar
panels, the less you're going to see them. And I understand too that the solar panel companies, they
start to slow down a little bit, not increasing like it was. And if you want to go green than you should
give people some kind of encouragement or coupon or something that will allow them to go ahead and
put the solar panels in instead of putting a tax on it. That's all I have to say, thank you.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Okay.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Ron, in reference to what you're saying, I understand exactly what you're
saying but in any costs associated with review, not necessarily review but these building permits that
have to go out and inspect them, the costs have not gone up since 2001, sixteen (16) years.
MR. BALL-Right. When I built my first house, way back in 65, it cost me ten dollars for a little
permit and that's all there was to it.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-I understand that, that was back then.
MR. BALL-I know.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-But these guys all have salaries, we have benefits we pay them.
MR. BALL-That's, we're paying our taxes, our land taxes, our property taxes.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Yea, okay. Well, all I am saying is the costs have to go along with the
times. If they haven't raised them in sixteen (16) years, it ...
MR. BALL-No, you're nickel and diming us, that's all you're doing.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-We're not nickel and diming you, it has to be paid and we're going to pay
for it one way or another, let's put it that way. Either the people that are building are going to pay it in
fees or
MR. BALL-I don't agree with you.
Regular Town Board Meeting, 12-18-2017, Mtg#42 567
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Yea I know you don't care.
MR. BALL-No, I do care, I just don't agree with you.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Well that's fine.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-I just want to point out to the public that these fees are for inspections of
building projects, have nothing to do with environmental or engineering reviews.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-No, I know that.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Okay,just so that we have it straight. Anybody else from the public like
to speak to this? Seeing none, Town Board thoughts? Any last thoughts?
COUNCILMAN CLEMENTS-I don't agree with the dock subject so I'll be voting no on it but
otherwise I think everything's fine.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Well nobody agrees with everything.
COUNCILMAN CLEMENTS-I know.
