RE: Extension request for septic system installation for Paul Derby at 25
Canterbury Drive
To Supervisor John Strough, Queensbury Board of Health:
This is a request for an extension to install a septic system at 25 Canterbury Drive,
Lake George (Queensbury), NY 12845 [tax map # 289.17-1-20, owner Paul Derby].
An inspection on May 20, 2022 by John O'Brien, Director of Building and Code
Enforcement., determined that the existing holding tank does not meet Town
requirements per the Septic Transfer Law. The owner wishes to remedy this
situation and requests a six-month extension to November 20, 2022 to allow
sufficient time to obtain an updated elevation survey of the property, develop an
engineered septic system (working with Eric Murdock of ONSITE Engineering), and
secure the necessary variances from the Board of Health. In the meantime, the
structure will be very minimally used, and the holding tank will be monitored and
pumped on a regular basis until a new system is installed.
Thank you for your time and consideration on this matter. if you have questions
