I know the question is going to be coming up. How is a pumping truck going to get down that steep, steep, steep driveway? MS. PELTON-The existing system is there now. I think they previously had it pumped by IBS. They were the ones that had first brought the job to us. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-How about in the winter? REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING MTG# 21, 07-01-2019 45 MS. PELTON-I would not know. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Is it a year round residence? That is the concern George and I had when we did the site visit this afternoon. It was getting a pumper truck down there in the winter. I like holding tank especially as close as this residence is to Glen Lake. I know where it is. I know where it is not going. Given the terrain, there is very little else, they can do here. I mean I like it. COUNCILMAN METIVIER-John I can attest to the fact that you are looking at about fifty- seven feet of distance between the road and the tanks. I know that IBS houses hoses that are at least a hundred feet. They do not even have to go down the hill. They can stay at the top of the hill and pump it. The reason I know that is our system is a hundred feet back from the road and they pump from the road. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-That’s good to know. COUNCILWOMAN ATHERDEN-What is there now? MS. PELTON-A septic tank and two dry wells. It is kind of right under where the new tanks are… SUPERVISOR STROUGH-The lids of these tanks are going to be highway rated. MS. PELTON-Yes. They are called out for H-20. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Any other questions at this time from any Board member before I open it to the public? COUNCILWOMAN ATHERDEN-So there is no space at all for septic and field? SUPERVISOR STROUGH-No. COUNCILWOMAN ATHERDEN-I did look at Google Earth; there is nothing. COUNCILMAN METIVIER-We are blessed that they want to do holding tanks here, I think anyways. COUNCILMAN FERONE-The pump that is going to pump to these tanks is in the home. MS. PELTON-I believe so. I think it is a grinder pump. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-It has an alarm package and all the bells and whistles. Any member of the public wish to speak to this application for 61 Fitzgerald Road on the shores of Glen Lake, an application for holding tanks in lieu of a septic system. Seeing no member of the public interested in discussing this. Any last questions or thoughts on behalf of the Town Board before we go to a vote?
