SUBDIVISIONS:
Subdivision No. 7-85 - Burnt Ridge (Cobe, Inc.)18 lots off Upper Sherman Avenue
Public Hearing. Ray Cowen present. Mr. Cowen presented plans with redefined lines to coincide
with zoning and removal of one lot. Letter read from Supervisor Walter indicating that paperwork
is commencing to extend Sherman Avenue water district to include subdivision. Charles,
Scudder, P.E., said he had received letter from Supervisor requesting an engineering proposal
for district extension. Mr. Roberts questioned timetable for completion of extension and
Mr. Scudder said it might be possible to have it done by other than town forces. Developer
has not yet received final approval from Department of Health. Mr. Sorlin read letters from
Highway Superintendent Naylor and Water Superintendent Flaherty recommending approval.
Mr. Cowen has met with Mr. Scudder, made the suggested changes and Mr. Scudder said he
',- was satisfied with the revisions. Mr. Cowen gave Board draft of proposed deed restrictions.
Mr. Roberts asked what would be done with old slaughterhouse on property. Mr. Cowen said
it was a good sound building and may be converted to a duplex (lot #14). Board reviewed
Parts I and II of EAF. Motion for negative declaration by Mann, seconded by Sorlin. Motion
carried. Mr. Scudder noted that project should get approval from Health Dept. with private
water supply, however, everyone would prefer to have town water. Motion for preliminary
approval offered by Mrs. Mann, seconded by Mr. Macri. Motion carried unanimously.
RESOLVED: Preliminary approval granted. Need more info on water supply.
Subdivision No. 1-86 - Van Howe Estates, Section II off Potter Road
Leon Steves present. Mr. Steves noted developer is no longer Howe, but Farone. Long discussion
of 961' section of paved road (Stewart Road). Not town road but paved and plowed by Highway
Dept. to fire hydrant. Steves would like to have Section II road connect, but it is not only
alternative. Drainage will all go to brook. They will put in a culvert crossing the intermittent
stream. Highway Superintendent would like cul-de-sac to be same size as one in first section.
Mr. Dybas offered motion for conceptual approval, seconded by Mrs. Mann. Motion carried
unanimously.
RESOL VED: The Board gave conceptual approval as this fits masterplan
with no negative aspects. Board recommends connection to Stewart Road
across questionable property which borders Lot 11 on preliminary sketch
be the preferred plan, but alternatives are possible if this cannot be done.
Board, applicant and Town must ascertain ownership of the strip in question.

OLD BUSINESS:
~
Site Plan Review No. 27-85 - Eugene Lisewski, Jr. (PC-l A)
To operate an automotive repair facility in existing building in Plaza Commercial 1 Acre
Zone on property situated at 680-682 Upper Glen Street.
Tabled from November 19, 1985. Bill Montgomery, Esq. representing Mr. Lisewski. Mr.
Montgomery presented new plan for parking and more detailed map. Warren County Planning
Board has not seen new plan, they had recommended disapproval of first presentation.
There will be no parking between building and firehouse. There will be two working bays,
room for a total of 4 cars inside the building. Mrs. Mann expressed concern that vehicles
would not necessarily park where they were supposed to and that it would be impossible for
Mr. Lisewski to police the situation and run his one-man business at the same time. Mr.
Macri offered motion for approval with stipulations, seconded by Mr. Dybas. There were
four "yes" votes and one "no" vote.
RESOLVED: The Queensbury Planning Board approve Site Plan #27-85 with
stipulation that only 3 parallel parking spaces be provided in space as delineated
at "C" on plan (Foster Avenue) and that signage be provided on the building
to restrict parking in these spaces. Parking in alleyway between fire station
and site be prohibited and pavement marked appropriately.
Also, parking in lot "A", as designated on plan, be provided by building owners
for this applicant as long as it exists. These restrictions must be passed
on to any future owner of this business.
'----
The vote on this resolution was: 4 yes (Macri, Dybas, Roberts, Sorlin)
1 no Mann
1 member absent
1 vacancy on Board
This constitutes a non-aCtion as the Queensbury Planning Board needs a
majority plus one or 5 yes votes to override the Warren County Planning
Board recommendation fo~approval.
