RE: Jeff Godnick Septic System
Glen Lake Road
Dear Board Members:
on today 's date , I inspected an existing septic system
located on the property for which Jeff Godnick proposes to place
a new structure . I observed two eight by eight seepage pits
connected to a D Box , and from the D Box , a line lead down to a
pump station for the existing residence .
Mr . Godnick is proposing to put a two bedroom home on his
property which would require only one eight by ten drywell . He
currently has two eight by eight drywells , which meet the
standard for a three bedroom home . They are approximately 130
feet from the lake and , therefore , exceed the setback from the
lake , which is only required to be 100 feet .
The system as it stands right now is allowed to continue as
is , even though it is nonconforming in relation to setback to
neighboring wells , and Mr . Godnick should be able to provide a
map to you at this meeting showing the setbacks to the three
neighbor 's wells .
To clarify the Town Law regarding septic systems as it-
stands before you , Mr . Godnick is allowed to maintain the system
as long as it does not fail . If there is a failure of the
system , then he would have to replace it with a conforming
system , or apply to the Town Board of Health for variances to
replace the system .
It is my understanding that Mr . Godnick will replace the
septic tank , which is now nonconforming , with a conforming septic
tank , and also meet the setbacks to neighbor 's wells and the lake
when the new septic tank is installed .
Should you have any further questions , please do not
hesitate to contact me and I will make myself available to you at
this meeting if need be .
I have also been in contact with Jim Martin and discussed
this situation with him so he understands the law as it applies
to this system .
Thank you for your time and consideration -
