PUBLIC HEARING ON SEWAGE DISPOSAL VARIANCE APPLICATION OF JOHN
AND TAMMY AUST
PUBLICATION DATE: JANUARY 31, 2020
TOM HUTCHINS, HUTCHINS ENGINEERING, AGENT FOR JOHN AND TAMMY
AUST-JOHN AND TAMMY PRESENT
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-The applicants’ Agent is present. Will you please identify yourself?
TOM HUTCHINS, HUTCHINS ENGINEERING-I am representing Tom and Tammy Aust who
are present.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Tom is there anything you want to share or elaborate on?
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 02-10-2020, MTG# 6 452
MR. HUTCHINS-No. The property is a little bit encumbered by location of wells as well as soil
conditions. It is in an area that is notorious silty clay soils over shallow bedrock. They own a
fairly large parcel that is adjacent, which happens to be in the Town of Fort Ann. The proposal
is to install a raised absorption field on that adjoining parcel with access maintenance easement
across the parcel even though it is common ownership. Install a new septic tank and pump
station adjacent to the residence in the general area where the current system is. I think it is a
good solution. It is not the easiest neighborhood for septic systems. We are asking to locate the
septic tank and pump station 7’ feet from the residence in lieu of 10’. That is the variance we are
asking for. Any questions?
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-There is a public hearing on this. Is there any member of the
audience interested in speaking to this application this evening? Seeing none. Is there any last
minute questions of the agent? Hearing none. How about a motion to approve it.

PUBLIC HEARING ON SEWAGE DISPOSAL VARIANCE OF WILLIAM AND KATHY BOSY
PUBLICATION DATE: JANUARY 31, 2020
MACKENZIE PELTON, AGENT -RUCINSKI HALL ARCHITECTURE - WILLIAM BOSY
PRESENT
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Would you like to explain or elaborate any further?
MS. PELTON-Based on what we found in the fields from the original variance that we had the state of the
tanks next to the current house right now it would have been too dangerous to dig for the house and IBS as
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 02-10-2020, MTG# 6 455
well. We were able to map it out and try to get some more measurements from where the future residence will
be based on where the owners would like to locate the addition.
SUPERVISOR SROUGH-Okay. Any questions from the Town Board?
COUNCILMAN FREER-The future residence has that been established and gotten the approvals or building
permits?
MR. BOSY-No it has not been done yet. It is following the same plot plan as previously was there.
MS. PELTON-The previous owners are paying for the septic. That is what the agreement was to do the septic
for them.
MR. BOSY-I recently purchased the property. The septic system failed so this why it is up to her to replace
the septic system. We are putting the cart before the horse if you will.
COUNCILMAN FREER-That is kind of my point. If there are going to be more variances for the house we
should maybe think about it all together. I understand the situation and can support.
COUNCILMAN METIVIER-Are you building the garage across the street? Is that your property?
MR. BOSY-That is the neighbor next door to me.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-My thoughts on the matter is you are talking about the septic tank and the pump
chamber. You are talking about variances. I did not think there were any significant variances. You are not
talking about a variance from a well. You are not talking about a variance from the distance from the lake to
the septic bed. It is more mechanical variances and that kind of nature to this.
COUNCILMAN FERONE-In the system notes for the drawings. There was some specific guidelines about
the septic tank being inspected annually and pumped regularly. Are there some concerns there with the system
that would require that to happen?
MS. PELTON-No. That is just standard notes that are in there. Typically, they are checked through where
someone goes and takes a look. Then it is recommended three to five years to get them pumped.
COUNCILMAN FERONE-It is recommendation for the homeowner.
MS. PELTON-Yes.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-There is a public hearing on this. Any member of the public wish to speak to this
application before us tonight. Seeing none. I will close the public hearing.
