CONSIDERATIONS
PG17-0315 – Michelle Finateri 14801 Island Drive

toilets and hand sanitizer instead of bath sinks with hot and cold water.
Michelle Finateri, applicant, was present. Brenden King, was present. Three
minute video was shown. They discussed the cost to run utilities on to island. It
would be very costly. Port-a-potty and out-house are not attractive and
unpleasant. A vault house would be more esthetically pleasing. Maximum
occupancy is 100. Ticket sales would be for a two hour period. Online ticket
sales. Any waste will be taken over the bridge and then a truck picks it up from
there. The Board questioned the food handling on the island. Ms. Finateri will
sell hot dogs and small food on carts. The waste from the vault will be pumped
into a trailer then taken to a truck for disposal. Mr. Measel questioned the option
of having a well. Mr. King stated that a well truck can’t get onto the island and
also they can’t get sewer onto the island. Mr. Szatkowski questioned neighbors
smelling the honey tank when it is being dumped into the truck for disposal. Ms.
Finateri stated that the tanks are emptied two to three times a year. A licensed
hauler is used for disposal. Mr. Szatkowski questioned if a rat wall is required.
Mr. Viazanko stated that it will require a rat wall if it is over 50 square feet. A
separate variance would be required if they choose not to install. Mr. Viazanko
stated that no variance is needed for a drinking fountain. Ms. Finateri agreed to
offer free water for the public if they don’t want to purchase bottled water.
