WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY: Mr. Theodore
WHEREAS, Mr. H. Russell Harris previously filed a request for
a variance from certain provisions of the Town of Queensbury On-
Site Sewage Disposal Ordinance, such provisions being more
specifically those 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 request on February 3, 1997, 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 variance, it is felt that
the variation 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;
b) that the Local Board of Health finds that the granting
1
of the variance is necessary for the reasonable use of

the applicant that he must also secure the approval of
the New York State Department of Health;
