Queensbury Town Board Meeting as Queensbury Board of Health 7:42P.M. Notice Shown Variance of Henry 0. Parry of CLeverdaZe Road, Lake George, Town of Queensbury _ to install a spetic system at less than 100 feet setback from the Lake. Supervisor Walter- Asked if anyone was present to speak in regard to the variance request? Mr. Henry 0. Parry- Applicant- You all have before you the copies of the variance and the copies of the plans for the installation of the Wisconsin Mound System necessitated by the fact that we cannot meet the 100 ' restriction from the Lake Shore, we are asking for a variance to 83' dimension indicated. The shortest dimension of the Lot is only 102' from the Labe Shore, at the point indicated on the plan the 83' we would be approximately 110 ' from Lake Shore to the Road Side edge of Oe property,this is the reason for our request for a variance. Councilman Eisenhart- Steve, can you tell us if the Wisconsin Mound System would be adequate? Mr. Lynn- yes Councilman Olson- What is your situation presently, I assume you have a failing septic system? Mr. Henry 0. Parry- We have had for the last sixteen years a normal septic tank and Zeach bed and it has failed and we have tried to resurrect it so to speak without any success and we had to go for a new system, this is why we are applying for this variance. On recommendation of Mr. Lynn and Mr. Matthews who made these drawings we are applying for the Wisconsin Mound System. Councilman Olson- Do you live there year round? Mr. Henry 0. Parry- yes Councilman Monahan ' Mr. Parry what is the number of feet that seperate you and the new mound system from the Kretz property next door? Mr. Henry 0. Parry- approximately twentyfive feet. Councilman Monahan- where is their septic system? Mr. Carl Kretz-neighbor of Mr. Parry/s- I want to go on record as saying that I am One hundred percent in favor for the board to give permission to Mr. Parry to build this system as outlined. He has voluntarily agreed to build this so called Wisconsin Mound System in complete regulation, rules and regulations that have recently been adopted by the Town, which are very much stricter than anything else that has existed before. I would bring your attention to the fact that because they are bearly a hundred feet from the road to the Lake that he is simply asking to move the edge of the mound system from 1001 to the Lake to 83' to the Lakes in so doing he is still complying with all the rules and regulations for the square footage required to make the system funetionaZ. I want Pou to know that I, as an adjoining property owner would ask that you vote in favor of the variance. Noted that the systems are not togs than 75 ' apart. . . Mr. John Matthews-builder and designer of the system-I would Like to say that their 171 existing system as it stands right now is not functioning because the effluent has { no where to go. It is not running into the lake, right now it is not polluting the lake. The reason that it is not working is, that the old system was too deep in the ground, it is below the soils that would absorb water,it has no place to go and is backing up into the house. We have pZanud to .'. raise it up so it is within the limits of perculating soils, had it been a foot higher in the ground it probably would still be working, today. Councilman Olson- what you are sayings that you have a problem with the leach field and not the septic tank. Mr. John Matthews- It;wiZZ drain out of the septic tank into a pump chamber to be pumped into the mound. Mr. Fred AZexy-Mr. Parry's neighbor-I would like to add?my support,'-for this application he has no reasonable alternative. . . Mr. Jack SZopey-neighbor-I can in favor of this system. W. Lynn- the old system,as it exists wouZd be even more non-conforming than the new system would be.

TOWN BOARD RECONVENED Public Hearing Mobile Home Application of Mr. Douglas Coons of 1 Holman Ave. to locate a mobile home on Moon Hill Road - Mr. Coons will purchase property- Notice Shown- 7:53 P.M.

Councilman Olson- you will place the new mobiZe*me in the same location as that of the present mobile home? Mr. Douglas Coons-yes 3 Councilman Eisenhart- who owns the mobile home that it thererow?

The Board has been studying this for over a year— we have met. wi.th the Fire Study Committee and had some meetings, our counsel has drawn up a ZoeaZ Law and the purpose of this resolution is to hold a public hearing so we can have comments from the public relative to the fire dude.

Councilman Eisenhart-requested that any interested personsare urged to Look at the firs prevention code. .. . RESOLUTION TO AMEND ZONING ORDINANCE QIU j Nn- R7 Introduced by Dr. Charles Eisenhart who moved for its adoption, seeon ed by W. Daniel Olson: WHEREAS, certain areas of the Town of Queensbury in the vicinity, of Quaker Road and Bay Road are presently included within a zoning classification of UR-5 and' Lj WHEREAS, certain other areas of the Town of Queensbury in the Sunset Park area are presently included in a zoning classification of UR-10, and WHEREAS, the Town of Queensbury Planning Board has recommended to the Town Board the rezoning of certain premises in the vicinity of Quaker Road and Bay Road from the present zoning classification of UR-5 to a new classification of HC-15, and WHEREAS, the Town of Queensbury Planning Board has further recommended to the Town Board the rezoning of certain premises in the Sunset Park area from the present zoning classification of UR-10 to a new classification of LI-IA, and 175 come up Bay Road approaching the Co Uege, approaching the Town Office Building, some of this is farm land, country land, it is beautiful land. I strongly believe that by not touching the area on the west side of Bay Road leaving it the way it presently is zoned would make a good natural buffer or a buffer in businesses and reduce down in size and the intent of the businesses as we approach out here in the country area. Councilman Monahan- I concur with Mr. Olson sentiments. Councilman Eisenhart- I disagree I Supervisor WaZter- I would also disagree, as rZooking at good planning I think that the area is presentZy highway commercial and it would only be, the zone would only be reflecting what the area is. I feel that by not rezoning that area that we by the very nature of Bay Road and the fact that the College is there, there has been new housing introduced at the College, special needs are going to arise from that fact and we would be looking at businesses. The other couneilpeople are worried about the area and the neighborhood of the road being rura4 I think we are going to find businesses running up and down the road under a variance in the next ten yea2S I raalZy do not think that, that is good planning. . Councilman Morrell- I will vote for this resolution but I have some reservations because if we can't build'' building over forty feet high and we restrict the area where we have commercial estab Ushments� there isn't going to be a place, businesess to go. I hate to see progress but sometimes we have to do it that way. Councilman Eisenhart- It might be pointed out to the public that the college does not build housing for students. . . the housing that is going in there is private enterprise. . . Councilman Monahan- I might point out that while we do have commercial uses along Bay Road now they are not all of them permitted uses, that would be allowed under the new Highway Commercial zones, I think some of these new uses would be very detrimental to thatr;area. When we started this planning we said we did not want any more strip zoning and what this isjif we rezone those,wouZd be strip zoning. I would like to ask Mr. Gregory something, what is the maximum height that our Fire trucks in the Town of Queensbury can reach now? Mr. Gregory- with the new ladder truck it would be 75' right now it is 40 . . .

I� Discussion Supervisor Walter- Exhibit "All will describe the Lands to the east of Bay Road. Exhibit "B" will describe the lands at Sunset Park. As a further expZ f.�6nt to those of you that are here this evening who attended the public hearing Zast week, what the Town Board has chosen to do is to rezone the area to the east of Bay Road�to go along with the changes that were Listed in the paper on the public hearing relative to West rZens Falls to go along with the changes of thirty days on the article 78 proceedings and to allow fire houses in the LI zone. What we have done then is to take out of the description lands that Lie to the west of the Bay Road. Does the Board understand that,that is what the resolution is tonight? We will be acting to rezone the Land east of the Bay-Road from j UR-5 to HC and the Land in the West Glens Falls Area to a light industrial use and we are not rezoning the area that is currently UR-5 on the west side of Bay Road. There will be a vote of the Town Board and that is what they will be voting on. Councilman Olson- the only question I had was in the Sunset Park area of West Glens FaYs . . . I hope the Planning Board and the Town Board would consider sometime to extend the Line to Western Avenue. . . 1 e Supervisor Walter- the Town Board has a letter from the Planning Board where they did address the area of rezoning on. ..I think for the mecord we should mention - in our discussion of this resolution that the Planning Board after the public hearing Last week met again at their regular meeting and discussed this area in question. The Planning Board has written a memo to the Town Board indicating that they would Like to staid with their original recommendation that is to zone or rezone both sides of that road. That is not what we are presenting here tonight in the resolution. Councilman Olson- I could support this resolution it would deal only with the east side of Bay Road. I feel strongly that the present'':' businesses that have been built through variances on the west side of Bay Road lend something desirable to the area. I think it is an excellent buffer zoneja built in buffer zone between the commercial area,;:the traffic we see along Quaker Road, Route 4 or any other major road where there is heavy ommercial business. We had people in the audience Last week at the public y p p hearing that had good argue .tt -and some of their comments were that the area as you 177 I WHEREAS, this town board has conducted a public hearing in connection with said application and has heard all persons desiring to be heard in favor of or .against said application, and WHEREAS, it is hereby determined that the facts presented in said application and at said puZEc hearing are sufficient to authorize the issuance of the permit requested by said application, NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that pursuant to the provisions of the above mentioned ordinance, permission is hereby given to Mr. Douglas Earl Coons to locate a mobile home at property situated at Moon Hill Road and that the Bt6Zding Inspector is hereby authorized and directed ! to issue such permit in accordance with the terms and conditions of said ordinance.

The Board determined that they would put up a resolution with only that acreage that was to the east of Bay Road. Dr. Morrison-right, we excluded three parcels, you excluded the,*. I'know the Board holds a closed session and Supervisor Walter- no Dr. Morrison- well, it must have made that decision some time Supervisor Walter- Well, the Board went out, took a Zook at it and when I asked this evening what we were going to go with has.>far as resolutions were 'concerned we had: counsel draw up the descriptions. It was the consensus of the Board to have a resolution leaving that side of the road out. Dr. Morrison- So, that was not a closed session? Supervisor Walter- we were doing that when I was running over to the Town Clerk with pieces of paper etc. Dr. Morrison- was that a vote Supervisor Walter- no, it was a consensus It was my feeling that if the parcels were not broken out we would have had no rezoning at all. Dr. Morrison-ok, because? Supervisor WaZter-In my conversations with various members of the Board they made it very clear as to how they felt about it. There was never any vote taken. Dr. Morrison- I am curious as to how strongly in terms of the board felt against what I can going to call my parcel, . . . the only change there would be, would be my section to get a resolution back to the Board, how wound I have the Board vote again? Supervisor Walter- I do not really know what you are driving at? �--- Dr. Morrison- I would like to see, would be curious to see what would have happened if the Board had actually voted on that section. Supervisor WaZter-That is why I asked for comments when I made an explaj.?W6n1 before we had a resolution to vote on, I made sure the Board knew exactly w3,h they were voting on, nobody seemed to want to disagree with me at that time. I had given the two exhibits to the Town Clerk. In discussion I think that I asked every member of the Board to make some kind of a comment. . Dr. Morrison- two out of the five people, I am not sure was it three, felt that the east side should be possibly rezoned? Supervisor Walter- It seemed to me in my converations it was four to one. Dr. Morrison- you were kind of feeling Supervisor Walter- I very cfelt that the whole area should be rezoned highway commercial to re Pct what it was. Dr. Morrison- and the Dr. said, I was not sure? Supervisor Walter he also agreed with me ' Dr. Morrison- I was not sure how you felt sir? Mr. Daniel Morrell- I was tentatively n agreement with the planning board on thht - y gr p 9 there is a variance procedure by which you can. . . Dr. Morrison-again, we were talking in terms of last night and the zoning issue rather than the variance issue was my concern tonight, I felt kind of like they did, it was, and the Town Board did, it was commercial, I am just trying to get an idea basically had it nbt been in the twenty percent issue, you might have taken the whole thing to a vote? Supervisor WaZter- I do not think so, because the indication I got from home of the Board Members, isn't exactly what you heard here tonight. 180 Dr. Morrison- My only comment would be that I feeZ, badZy, it seems to me, I just want it on the record, that it does seem to me an Obvious commercial zone if you drive through there, especially in the evening wit some of the Zarge neon signs that are there, it is nice to have a buffer zone in the area appears nicely farm Zand and nicely Zandscaped and I do not think whenlyou are talking that smraU an area that is already commercial.,that you are going', to irreparable damage to the community by talking about this. It does seem to me politics and pressure in terms of not, not in terms of not, do not take me wrong ,II do not mean politics personally I mean just by people because of per onal? gain getting out impedus to help change other peoples opinion is really whgt caused this thing to go the other way. I very honestly feel that if we had, had a sportinggpods store who was about to lease that property]Mr. Hart would not have spent that money to motivate the people to get up the twenty percents and it would have taken thirtyseconds. Counci:tz=-Monahan- Dr. Morrison, I have got to disagree with you. In the first f place if you think the people who were against thus has anything to do with your own persZL, use of the building on your application, no. If you Zook at the uses:_ that are permitted on Highway Commercial, they arelmueh different uses then there are there aZready, and uses that I personally feeZlthat would be detz"entaZ to the area even would be detr-*nentaZ to the use you wantl, to put to your building. The other uses that are permitted] if you Zook at the new sc6duZe, on what is permitted under Highway Commercial, I feel that many of those do not belong in that particular area. It is commercial yes but the uses, the particular uses allowed in a Highway. ConrnerciaZ are much different then the uses that are fere now, With a resttur.ant would you Me ff r y an automobile sates and service next door to you? i Dr. M r son- tk Ski Doo b�sigess dg not seem mu dzd'f rent om to iZ ;,sales . . .boffy iiazn fe ing agazns �. was xt you were Rx raz dose ee s �go-&ng as one)and hav6ng an effect on the whole area? Councilman Olson-You have to Zook at the future. j Dr. Morrison- It would have to be someone big enough to buy aZZ three pieces of property. I Councilman Monahan- not really w Dr. Morrison- It is really not big enough to put anything major other than what is on them. Councilman Monahan- I think maybe what the problem is, that I think we need two highway commercials zones one.>more restrictive than the other. If there were a more restrictive zones I would not mind. Dr. Morrison, you would not be opposed to the restaurant usage? Councilman Monahan- no Supervisor Walter- I do not think any member of this board was opposed to the restruuant usage. . . Dr. Morrison with,:some of the usage that is allowed with the commercial zoning that are there. . . Councilman Monahan- two highway commercial zones, one more restrictive tha-A the '-other as we do in the industrial zone, then it would hav made a difference. ` 'I 4 Dr. Morrison- heavy commercial vs. . . .so it was not the idea of a restaurant. I Supervisor Walter- absolutely not. . . Dr. Morrison- it was the possible alternatives. . . Councilman Monahan- once;!you opened this up to highway commercial. . . Councilman Morrell- the variance procedure allows ou to do what you want. .. Dr. Morrison- and it keeps a control for you. . . Councilman Olson- . . .was permitted to build there by a variance(.,. . . Dr. Morrison- 'I realize that, I was just curious t get the feelings of the Board. . . Councilman Monahan-It defin,�,teZy was not for the e that you were going to do, as far as I am concerned. . . . i 181 Supervisor Walter-Some of the members of this Board were very happy with what was there right now, the interesting part of that is, to do what is there right now on. the lots that are currently vacant those people will hat, to apply for a variance, because it was not rezoned, it is really a strange predicdvnbrit. Dr. Morrison- Thank you very much. . . Mrs. Tessino- asked the Board to rename her road, presently Glen Road, too confusing. . . (petition was presented to highway dept. for name change) Supervisor Welter- how many residences are on that road? Mrs. Tessino- four. .. Supervisor Walter- how long is the road ? Mrs. Tessino- four house lots. . . Supervisor W&Iter- is that a Town road? Mr. Naylor- I can not sure. .. Mrs. Tessino- I have checked into that, it is a Town Road. . . The Town Board requested that W. Naylor lookiinto the situation and report to the Town Board. . . Supervisor Walter- we will see shat we can do and come up with a name that is n6t already in use in the Town of Queensbury.

At least two voil percolation tests shall be made in the area proposed for each sewage disposal system. More tests may be required. The procedure noted below shall be followed in performing a soil percolation ' test: i 1. Dig a hole approximately twelve (12) inches in diameter with vertical sides. If a the trench field is being considered, the bottan of the percolation test hole shall be six (6) inches below the anticipated trench bottan. If a seepage pit is under consideration, percolation tests shall he run at one-half (1/2) depth and at the full estimated depth of the seepage pit. In order to facilitate the running of the test, a larger excavation shall be made for the upper portion of the hole with the actual test hole in the bottom. 2. Fill the test hole with water and allow it to completely seep away. For all soils excepting clean sands and gravels this must he done at least four (4) fours but not more than twenty-fcue (24) hers before the test and again at the time of the test. For clean sands and gravels, pre-soaking must be done at the time of the test. After the water has seeped away, remove any loose soil that has fallen fran the sides of the hale. Place a one (1) inch layer of small stones in the bottan of the test hole to reduce scoring and silting action.' i -24- 3. Pour clean water into the hole, with as little splashing as possible, to a depth of six (6) inches above the bottom of the hole. 4. Observe and record the time in minutes required for the water to drop one (1) inch as measured from a fixed reference point. 5. Repeat steps (3) and (4) of the test, a minim= of three (3) times, until the time for the water to drop one (1) inch for two successive tests gives approximately equal results. , last test will than be taken as the stabilized rate of percoltion and the time recorded for this test will be the design basis for deter- mining'the square footage of leaching or absorptive area required for a subsurface absorption system (see Tables 4 and 5) of the New York State Department of Health's Waste Treatment Handbook Individual Household Systems.

This.dra n ge water can be discharged to the ground surface without treatment; make sure it drains away from your sewage disposal system. - Roof downspouts should not drain toward the disposal field. - Roots from trees in the inmediate area of the absorption lines may clog the system. - Keep swimming pools (above cr in-ground) away fran the disposal field. Never permit heavy equipment to pass over the disposal field. Conserve water usage; this can prolong the life of your sewage disposal system. Check defective toilet tank valves, repair leaky fixtures, install appliances and fixtures which use less grater, and avoid wasteful practices. - Water softener wastes (salts) can destroy a disposal system and caution should be advised in their ueeage. -2f A sewage disposal system is ncrmally designed to accamicIdate tv?O 'Persons per bedrocm.
