RESOLUTION APPROVING A SANITARY SEWAGE DISPOSAL VARIANCE
FOR KATHLEEN E. WILLIGAN
RESOLUTION NO.: 10.94
INTRODUCED BY: Mrs. Betty Monahan WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY: Mrs. Carol Pulver
WHEREAS, Ms. Kathleen E. Willigan previously filed a request
for four (4) variances from certain provisions of the Town of
Queensbury On-Site Sewage Disposal Ordinance, such provisions being
more specifically that requiring that there be a 150' separation
between the seepage pit and a well or suction line, and
WHEREAS, a notice of public hearing was given in the official
newspaper of the Town of Queensbury and a public hearing was held
in connection with the variance requests on August 15, 1994, and
WHEREAS, the Town Clerk advises that property owners within
500 feet of the subject property have been duly notified,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED,
a) that due to the nature of the variances, it is felt that
the variations will not be materially detrimental to the
purposes and objectives of this Ordinance or to other
adjoining properties or otherwise conflict with the
purpose and objectives of any plan or policy of the Town
of Queensbury, and particularly the Town Board
acknowledges the objection filed by the estate of Griggs
but also notes that the property is further than 150'
from the septic area and therefore at a greater
distance than is required by the ordinance and therefore
1
the Town Board feels that there would be no harm to that
particular property; and
b) that the Local Board of Health finds that the granting
of the variances is necessary for the reasonable use of
the land and that the variances are granted as the
minimum variances which would alleviate the specific
unnecessary hardship found by the Local Board of Health
to affect the applicant; and
c) that the Local Board of Health imposes a condition upon
the applicants that they must also secure the approval
of the New York State Department of Health, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Town of Queensbury Local Board of Health
grants the variances to Ms. Kathleen E. Willigan allowing the
placement of the seepage pit:
1. 117' from a neighbor's well;
2. 125' from a neighbor's well;
3. 128' from a neighbor's well; and
4. 100' from her own well;
rather than placing it at the mandated 150' distances, on property
situated on Sullivan Drive, Glen Lake, Town of Queensbury, New
York, and bearing Tax Map #: Section 38, Block 2, Lot 17.
Duly adopted this 15th day of August, 1994, by the following
vote:
AYES : Mrs. Pulver, Mrs. Monahan, Mr. Champagne
NOES : Mr. Caimano
ABSENT: None
ABSTAIN: Dr. Wiswall
