WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY: Mr. John Strough
WHEREAS, the Queensbury Town Board is authorized by Town Code Chapter 136 to issue
§
variances from 136-44 “Connection to sewers required” which requires Town property owners
situated within a sewer district and located within 250’ of a public sanitary sewer of the sewer district
to connect to the public sewer facilities within one (1) year from the date of notice, and
WHEREAS, the Estate of Edward T. Gardner, a/k/a and d/b/a Lake George Campsite (LG
§
Campsite) has applied to the Local Board of Health for a variance/waiver from 136-44 as the LG
Campsite wishes not to make the connection of its property located at 1053 Route 9, Queensbury to
the Town of Queensbury’s Route 9 Sewer District, as LG Campsite states that the installation of sewer
laterals throughout such property will disrupt and cause relocation of existing water, cable television
and some electrical wires; there is no history of failure of the eight on-site leach fields and all are in
excellent working order; all leach fields are maintained annually; soils are excellent for on-site
treatment; and there are 230 total campsites including 58 which are full hookup including septic, as
more fully delineated in LG Campsite’s application, and
WHEREAS, the Town Clerk’s Office mailed a Notice of Hearing to LG Campsite and the
st
Town Board conducted a hearing concerning the variance/waiver request on August 1, 2005,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that
a) due to the nature of the variance/waiver request, the Queensbury Town Board determines
that the variance/waiver would not be materially detrimental to the purposes and objectives
of Queensbury Town Code Chapter 136 and/or adjoining properties or otherwise conflict
with the purpose and objectives of any plan or policy of the Town of Queensbury; and
b) the Town Board finds that the granting of the variance/waiver is reasonable and would
alleviate unnecessary hardship on the applicant; and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Queensbury Town Board hereby approves the Estate of Edward T.
Gardner, a/k/a and d/b/a Lake George Campsite (LG Campsite)’s application for a variance/waiver
§
from Queensbury Town Code Chapter 136, 136-44 “Connection to sewers required” and hereby
st
grants LG Campsite a two-year extension of time or until August 1, 2007 in which to connect its
property located at 1053 State Route 9, Queensbury to the Town of Queensbury’s Route 9 Sewer
District, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Town Board authorizes the Town Supervisor, Wastewater Director,
Deputy Wastewater Director and/or Budget Officer to take any actions necessary to effectuate the
