TOM HUTCHINS, HUTCHINS ENGINEERING, QUEENSBURY-I am here on behalf of the applicants Jonathan and Ruth Bodenhorn. It is at 9 Pine Tree Lane. The Bodenhorn's own 9 Pine Tree Lane. They have owned it since 2010. The septic system is not in failure, but it is antiquated. They wish to make some improvements starting with a Clarus System. What we propose is what we feel is good as we can do considering the configuration on this lot in the neighborhood. We are showing an aerobic treatment unit an enhanced treatment Clarus, which is an environmental NSF approved enhanced treatment unit. That would discharge subsequently through a new absorption bed. The nature of all the variances have to do with the absorption bed that is discharging our main stream effluent. We have located this bed at what we feel the best location on site considering everything. We are asking for five (5) feet from the property line. We are asking for seventy (70) feet from the well. We are asking for twelve (12) from the residence itself. Hopefully you have had the chance to get up there and take a look at it. We have looked at it a lot. We really see some better options considering the configuration. With that, I think I will turn it over to the Board. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Seventy (70) feet from the well the house is in-between. There is no slope so the flow of water seventy (70) doesn't seem to be a problem. Why don't they hook up to Shore Colony Water? MR. HUTCHINS-They are hooked up to Shore Colony Water. This water supply well is only used in the off season from Shore Colony. The quality of Shore Colony water they're happy with that. Like a lot of Assembly Point wells, it is a very very deep well. The water quality is not the greatest. There is a treatment system that we use when they are on the well water. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Any questions from the Board? COUNCILWOMAN ATHERDEN-Clarus Fusion. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Yes, that is very good. Since there are no questions from the Board I will open the public hearing on this matter. Is there any member of the public that would like to speak to this proposed variance application?
