Tom if you want to introduce yourself and elaborate. TOM HUTCHINS, HUTCHINS ENGINEERING-I am here on behalf of Scott Erwin and Sheila Faella. There was a change in Deed. Not an actual complete property transfer, but a change in the Deed, which triggered the septic inspection. The system was due to be not passable at the current standards. It is a single vessel metal tank. It is a very small lot. Seventy five hundred square feet, point one seven acres. We have been fortunate to make arrangements with an adjoining property owner to install an absorption field in a compliant manner by easement on the adjoining property. That will solve a portion of their problem. The variances we are requesting have to do with the septic tank itself that will perceive that absorption field. Really, the only area REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 11-02-2020, MTG#34 160 for this septic tank is where some of us looked at today. Again, it is four feet from the building. Four feet from the property line. It is twenty-seven feet from a well, which is located within the basement of the residence. On that one, I would note that what we are doing is taking away a cesspool that is presently about twenty-five feet from that well and having the solid watertight septic tank off to a compliant absorption field. With that, I would turn it over to the Board if there are any questions. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Any questions from the Board. COUNCILMAN FERONE-I think John you had mentioned it today. Since this is, twenty-seven feet from the well are they going to think about putting some kind of UV system on for the water supply. MR. HUTCHINS-What I have suggested they do is run...a get an idea on the status of the well. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-I would be a little bit more concerned if it was the dispersal field, but it is a variance from the tank itself. It should be sealed with tar and everything else. There should not be any leakage from the tank. MR. HUTCHINS-Correct. It is a good point brought up to look at that well because there has been a substandard system fairly close to it for some time. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-That is a good idea. Are you suggesting we amend it by saying some kind of water test? COUNCILMAN FERONE-It is for their benefit. I do not know if we should just leave it to their own recourse to deal with that or make it part of the Resolution. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-The problem with making it part of the resolution then we would have to follow up on that and make sure that they had the well tested. I think we could after the first year. If you want to make it that, they have to submit a water test to the Town within a year. At least there would be something to show that the water is cleaned. Again, this is a variance from the septic tank itself, which is pretty much self-contained the bed is what a hundred feet? MR. HUTCHINS-One hundred feet. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-So the bed meets the criteria and that is the one I usually get worried about. COUNCILMAN FREER-John your biggest concern with the well is the previous…. MR. HUTCHINS-The impact over prior years. It is not what we are going to do… What we are going to do is solve the problem. I have suggested to them that we look at that well. They are considering that and I intend to suggest that again. COUNCILMAN FREER-It is not related to this variance. MR. HUTCHINS-It is not related to this variance. COUNCILMAN FERONE-As long as they are aware of that. MR. HUTCHINS-They are. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Are you okay with it George? COUNCILMAN FERONE-Fine. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-If there are no further questions from the Board I want to open this. There is a public hearing on this Sewage Disposal Variance Application of Scott Erwin and Sheila Faella. They live on 30 Sullivan Road. They are asking for three variances from the septic tank. I don’t think we are generating any interest on this sewage disposal variance application tonight. I will close the public hearing.

It is for two places. A three bedroom and a one bedroom for a total of four bedrooms. It is going to be an Elgin dispersal field consisting of twenty-four modules. We did a site visit today and the Engineer of the system, Dennis MacElroy of Environmental Design Partnership reacted to his neighbor’s concern. There were a line of trees that the neighbor wished to preserve. The neighbor was concerned that digging up the line and installing the septic tank would disturb some of the roots of the trees. I said to Dennis if it is all right with Town Counsel that we appreciate him moving the septic tanks a little bit. The system as he designed it is going to remain the same. He is going to move the tank over two or three feet. We said well, we are comfortable with that. We think that it improves the system. What I would like to do is open the public hearing, leave the public hearing open, and not act on this until we see the final design of the plans, which he assured us he would have before the next meeting for us to review. At the next meeting, I will carry on the public hearing. If the Board is comfortable, they will vote on it. We are not going to vote on it tonight. That will change the variances if he is going to move the tank a little bit. It is the same system. I will open the public hearing. Are there any members of the public that would like to speak to this at this time? We will be deferring the rest of the public hearing to November 16. Any thoughts or concerns on behalf of the Town Board. Town Counsel, Mark Schachner nodded his head said that seemed to be okay.

COUNCILMAN FREER-I would just like to commend Steve Lovering. A lot of the reduction in the Budget is coming out of Parks and Recreation. He has done a really tough job of trying to balance providing as much service in a weird crazy COVID environment to the people in the Town. He is working very hard at trying to bring those services forward in a crazy time. Realizing that we did have to make some tough choices with regard to reducing our obligations we will keep working it. Parks and Recreation I think have done an outstanding job the whole staff. That is kind of, where a big chunk of that reduction is coming from. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Steve and his whole Department do a wonderful job with Parks, Recreation, and Recreation Commission. They do a wonderful job. They did shear a lot from their budget this year, but all the Departments Mangers all chipped in. They understood the situation. First, I would have to say that to the public we do not deal in this Town with a lot of fluff and a lot of fat. We are lean going into this. When you say, we can cut here and snip here we run pretty lean as it is. I just want to tell you there is no fluff and no fat it is pretty lean. I want to thank all the Department Managers for everything that they did. I want to thank my Budget Officer, Barbara Tierney who is here tonight. She works very hard on this Budget year round as well as decades of training on Municipal Budgets. Thank you Barbara. The other thing with the Resolution are the Elected Officials salaries. The Town Supervisor is $67, 276 the same as it has been I think for a decade. Councilpersons get $18,000 a year the same as it has been I think for almost a decade or maybe more. Town Clerk is $77,448 up 2.5 percent over last year. Town Highway Superintendent is $78,287 up 2.5 percent over last year. Town Justices $54, 437 that is 2.5 percent over last year. As well as the Budget is adopting those salaries. If there is no further comment from the Town Board or the public, I will close the public hearing.
