Duly adopted this 191h day of November, 2018, by the following vote: AYES: Mr. Strough, Mr. Metivier, Mrs. Atherden, Mr. Ferone, Mrs. Switzer NOES: None ABSENT: None QUEENSBURY BOARD OF HEALTH Public Hearing on Sewage Disposal Variance Application of Joyce & Ronald Egnaczyk Notice Publication Date: November 9, 2018 TOM HUTCHINS-Good evening Board, my name is Tom Hutchins, I do business as Hutchins Engineering in Queensbury and I am here on behalf of the applicants Ron and Joyce Egnaczyk. They have a very small parcel, 114 Sunnyside North. They actually own two (2)parcels of property. They're bisected by the road, however, the northerly parcel is entirely vacant but it's completely encumbered by neighboring wells. So, if you drive up there and you know they own that parcel, it looks like a great place for a wastewater system but there's neighboring wells that completely encumber that. We've laid out what we feel is a very good alternative for them to allow replacement. Again, the parcel, this particular parcel is just over five thousand (5,000) square feet so it's rather small. It's a two (2) bedroom residence and we're proposing the replacement of the septic tank, pump station and absorption bed. I think Mr. Strough was there today and he agrees that the space availability is the issue here and I think we've done the best we can. The neighbor with the well is aware of the application and has signed on the application in the space for a neighboring signature. So with that, I will turn it back over to the Board for questions.
