Resolution No.: BOH 8, 2016
Variance Application: West
Tax Map Number: 226.15-1-17
Dear Mr. Hatin:
Adirondack Park Agency staff review of the above referenced variance determination
has been completed. The applicant proposes to replace the existing on-site wastewater
treatment system with three (3) 2,000 gallon septic holding tanks for a total of 6,000
gallons of capacity. Relief is required from §136.11 of the Town Sewage Disposal
Ordinance which prohibits holding tanks unless a variance is granted by the local Board
of Health.
Based on the information presented in the record, no further Agency review is required
• for this variance since the project does not vary provisions of the Adirondack Park
Agency Act.
Thank you for your referral of this variance determination.
Sincerely, _,__,�,
// .
