FOR DAVID MARGISON
BOARD OF HEALTH RESOLUTION NO. 14, 97
INTRODUCED BY: Mr. Theodore Turner
WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY: Mrs. Betty Monahan
WHEREAS, David Margison 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 10 feet (10') distance between the
septic tank and the dwelling and that there be 20 feet (20')
distance between the absorption field and the dwelling, 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 May 19, 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
of the variance is necessary for the reasonable use of
the land and that the variance is granted as the minimum
variance 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 applicant that he must also secure the approval of
the New York State Department of Health;
d) that as a further condition, the applicant shall provide
the town with an appropriate waiver regarding placing
the system closer to the foundation than allowed;
and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Town of Queensbury Local Board of Health
hereby grants the variance to David Margison allowing a six feet
(6') distance between the septic tank and the dwelling rather than
the required ten feet (10') distance, and allowing six feet (6')
distance between the absorption field and the dwelling rather than
the required 20 feet (20') distance (Chapter 136, Appendix A) on
property situated at 18 Hampton Court, Town of Queensbury, New
York, and bearing Tax Map #: Section 121, Block 14, Lot 12.
