1.2 PUBLIC HEARING — ADOPTING SEQRA NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND
ENACTING LOCAL LAW OF 2016 TO AMEND QUEENSBURY TOWN CODE
CHAPTER 179 "ZONING" TO ESTABLISH COMMERCIAL INTENSIVE EXIT 18
ZONING DISTRICT, RE-ZONE CERTAIN AREAS AND REVISE THE TOWN'S
ZONING MAP
PUBLICATION DATE: APRIL 8,2016
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED
STEFANIE BITTER, ESQ.-I am here as local Counsel for Cumberland Farms. I apologize
coming a little late to the party. Corporate had just reached out to me because they were notified
of this public hearing and had just a couple of questions. As you know they own the parcel
almost on the edge of this rezoning district. I think it is referred to as Parcel K in the rezoning
study it is an existing convenience store. I just want to confirm that the convenience store use
definition is not being modified with this rezoning change.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-No.
MS. BITTER-So the use that Cumberland Farms has today will be a permitted use in this zone?
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Yes.
MS. BITTER-It will just be permitted with a special use permit as opposed to just a site plan?
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-I don't believe that the property that you are talking about is even
within this zone.
COUNCILMAN IRISH-Just within the zone it changes.
MS. BITTER-So it is not actually....
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-It is just within this particular zone.
COUNCILMAN VANNESS-It doesn't expand that far down.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Is that Cumberland Farms property.....
MS. BITTER-It is listed in this rezoning development CPA prepared and I believe that it is
referred to as Parcel K. It is no longer in the rezoning district.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Do you have the parcel number?
MS. BITTER-309.14-1-80.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Yes, 309.14-1-80 is included in this zone.
COUNCILMAN VANNESS-It is not going to any effect on the existing buildings and properties
that are there?
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 04-18-2016, MTG#13 403
MS. BITTER-Right, their concern is only in the future when they go to raise and rebuild what
impact is it going to have relative to that redevelopment project. Right now as it is defined with
the new rezoning it is now going to require a special use permit as opposed to just site plan
review.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Do you mean if they want to expand or improve it?
MS. BITTER-Correct.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Because the allowed uses right now are amusement center, bank,
business service, convenience store.
MS. BITTER-Correct.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-I mean they are all there.
MS. BITTER-They are allowed it is just under special use permit.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Yeah. If there was a new convenience store being proposed for this
it would have to go through the special use permit, but there is one already existing right?
MS. BITTER-Correct. I apologize, I reached out to Craig Brown and wasn't able to connect. If
it maintains its dimensions it is going to be allowed. If it is expanded then it goes into the
criteria of requiring a special use permit?
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-How would that work Bob if it is going to be expanded, but already
a use that is an allowed use?
COUNCILMAN IRISH-It is allowed with special use permit.
ATTORNEY HAFNER-It is allowed with a special use that is what the SUP is. Special Use
Permit is what it says.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-What if they wanted to add five hundred (500) square feet onto to
the store?
ATTORNEY HAFNER-I think they would have to go through the special use permit. You are
changing what they have. Grandfathering would be where it currently is I would think.
MS. BITTER-That is how I understand it.
ATTORNEY HAFNER-But, that is really a question for Craig as our Code Enforcement Officer
to answer.
MS. BITTER-The other question I have is relative to the architectural elements. Are those just
guide lines or are they criteria that will need waivers if they can't be met?
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-They are pretty much the same guide lines that have been in this
area.
MS. BITTER-Okay so no waivers will be required by the Planning Board?
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Not for your project.
MS. BITTER-I am just speaking for example one of them is about the facade to incorporate
regular pattern of windows....
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-It is the same language that is in the Main Street Program that
Cumberland Farms was in.
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 04-18-2016, MTG#13 404
COUNCILMAN METIVIER-You guys started that program, Cumberland Farms was the first
one to come in.
MS. BITTER-Those were my questions. Thank you very much.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Any other members of the public wish to speak about the proposed
zone.
JOHN SALVADOR-Will you be accepting comments on the SEQRA Negative Declaration?
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-If you have a comment I believe now is the time to bring it forward.
MR. SALVADOR-The Town's Part II of the Full Environmental Assessment Form
Identification of Potential Project Impacts. Specifically Section 3, Impacts on Surface Water.
More specifically sub section 3k. The proposed action may require the construction of new, or
expansion of existing, wastewater treatment facilities. On your application for impacts on surface
water you have checked no. Yet every single one of the items that you are to consider has
relevant Part I questions associated with it.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-There is no specific project involved here John.
MR. SALVADOR-There is a project involved here.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Not before us tonight we are changing the zoning.
MR. SALVADOR-It could have detrimental impacts....
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-It could have when those projects come before the Planning Board.
They will deal with that.
MR. SALVADOR-No you are dealing with the subject of impact on surface water in general. Of
course, we know the impact is going to be on the Hudson River. The wastewater from all of this
development is envisioned to flow through the City's combined sewer system to its treatment
plant. In the event of a storm event, it will be discharged directly to the Hudson River. That is a
fact. One of the questions asked here the proposed action may create turbidity in a waterbody.
Have you ever seen when they open the flood gates in a storm event the turbidity of that water in
the river.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-We did a sewer study in the area. We have the capacity for the area.
The City has the capacity to treat the effluent coming from any even worse case scenarios from
this area.
MR. SALVADOR-Not at all times.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-The City is working under a multi-year remediation plan to assure
that less of the outflow of raw sewage does occur. They do have the ability to treat all the
wastewater being put into the system by any project in this area.
MR. SALVADOR-Providing it is not raining and the snow isn't melting. Also their remediation
plan is dependent highly on getting grants. You know that is a come and go situation. Is there
any appreciation for the fact that the Town might have to participate in the expansion of that
wastewater treatment plant someday?
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-We do right now so we will continue participating with the City.
MR. SALVADOR-I am talking about capital costs.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-We do contribute to capital costs. Anybody else like to speak to the
Board, have questions to the Board about the proposed Exit 18 Zone. Seeing none any further
thoughts by the Town Board? Bob will you lead us through SEQRA.
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 04-18-2016, MTG#13 405
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-Sure.

colors to reduce their perceived mass and maintain a pedestrian scale. Buildings
shall incorporate appropriately scaled features that express architectural or
structural elements (cornices, lintels, columns, frieze, etc.). These features may
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 04-18-2016, MTG#13 413
be incorporated into doorways, windows, and along rooflines. Large blank walls

retail uses along roadways a majority of the ground floor (as measured by a
percentage of the overall wall area) shall be transparent.

entrance(s). In order to fulfill this requirement entrances may include the
following design features:

the unbroken walls and neglected areas that often characterize building facades
that face bordering land uses.
(i) The number of entrances for the principal building shall be addressed at site

[2] Concrete panels.
[3] Prefabricated steel panels.
The Planning Board may consider the use of these materials in areas that will
not be viewed by the public (e.g., service and delivery entrances, etc.).
(1) Loading docks, truck parking, outdoor storage, utility meters, HVAC
equipment, trash dumpsters, trash compaction, and other service functions shall
be incorporated into the overall design of the building and the landscaping so
that the visual and acoustic impacts of these functions are fully contained and
out of view from adjacent properties and public streets, and no attention is
attracted to the functions by the use of screening materials that are different
from or inferior to the principal materials of the building and landscape.
