Duly adopted this 14th day of September,2015,by the following vote: AYES : Mr. Metivier,Mr. Clements,Mr. Irish,Mr. VanNess,Mr. Strough NOES : None ABSENT: None REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, MTG#28, 09-14-2015 956 PUBLIC HEARING—LOCAL LAW NO. 2015 TO AMEND TOWN CODE CHAPTER 179 "ZONING" SECTION 179-3-040(B)(2)(A)(1) TO CHANGE RESIDENTIAL SETBACK IN OFFICE ZONE ALONG BAY ROAD FROM 300' TO 600' AND SECTION 179-12- 010(A)(3) TO ALLOW PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT(PUD) IN OFFICE ZONE PUBLICATION DATE: AUGUST 28,2015 POWER POINT PRESENTATATION MADE BY SUPERVISOR STROUGH REGARDING THE BAY ROAD CORRIDOR PUBLIC HEARING OPENED KATHLEEN SONNABEND, 55 CEDAR COURT, QUEENSBURY-First, I want to thank the Board for taking the sewer issue seriously and doing a Sewer Study. I think most of the credit is deserved by the three newest members of the Board; Bill VanNess, Doug Irish, and Brian Clements. Prior Boards prior Wastewater Superintendent, prior Town Counsel, Planning Board, and Zoning Board they were deaf to the issue. By doing the study you guys got evidence, facts...to sit down and be able to make decisions. I don't know if six hundred (600) feet is enough especially if you have more Cottage Hills, I think it is going to be a problem. I am very concerned about the idea of a PUD because now, by the way I am concerned about the terminology setback. In the legal efforts of trying to get the Town to understand that a use variance is needed for Fowler Square not an area variance. Part of the argument was that the setback terminology applies to the setback of the building and to other than that you need an area variance and that is the variance that the Zoning Board gave Fowler Square. When, in fact the prohibition of residences within the first three hundred (300) feet was a prohibition of a use not a setback and therefore needed a use variance. I am a little concerned that whatever you guys end up doing you have the right terminology because I don't want to see this happen again. It is very important that Town Counsel agrees that the terminology does in fact reflect what you intended, which is no residences within that six (600) feet. Also the Planning Board and the Zoning Board have to understand that is really what was meant by the Code; otherwise we are going to be back to where we were before. I am concerned about the PUD because if the PUD does not have any setback or as I think it should be prohibition of residential uses within that first six (600) feet that means that they could, actually ask for even more residences on that property. I know that it isn't your intention but PUD`s are approved by the Town Board. Town Boards change over time. So, I am not sure how this is going to solve the sewer issue if you can do a PUD that could possibly allow even more residences than is even currently allowed under the current zone with the three hundred (300) foot prohibition of residences. This is all legal stuff that is really beyond me, but I think you have to be really careful so that you get the result that you want to get. John, I appreciate your presentation. I think that was very clear what the history has been and what the limitations are with the sewer and that we want is a good result that we can all live with. I think you received a lot of pressure in the past. You probably will continue to receive pressure from certain property owners. I think we have to remember that when Queensbury Partners purchased the Fowler Square property the prohibition was a thousand (1,000) feet. When they put forth their sewer district extension proposal, they weren't planning any apartments or residences in that property. They had a plan for twelve (12) individual professional offices so six hundred (600) feet is a gift to them. So don't let them put pressure on you because a thousand (1,000) feet was the case when they bought the property. Mr. Valente when he started developing his property Baybridges not quite, but almost a thousand (1,000) feet back. Fairfield Park which was originally intended for just offices was within that remaining almost thousand (1,000) feet. Again I know he is not happy that you are talking about changing it for the three hundred (300) feet to six (600) feet, but it is still a gift to him because what he had before was a thousand (1,000) feet. Thank you. REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, MTG#28, 09-14-2015 957 DOUG AUER, 16 OAKWOOD DRIVE, QUEENSBURY-I want to thank you. You've finally listened. It was a different Board here. You are moving in the right direction to correct an egregious not mistake because it was done quite deliberately. The code change was done to satisfy a few people. I want to thank you for doing what you have done. You went out and you got competent engineering people to look at this. This was already done in black letter type in 2002. If the previous Board would have read this, there would have been a red flag that would have gone up and said, oh we better not do this so quickly. We really should hire somebody like a MJ to do an in depth study. We did a precursory study and we came up with a solution that would have worked. This discussion would not even be taking place had the code not been changed or at least changed perhaps the way you wanted it to six hundred (600) feet. I don't think we would be in this pickle John if you would have got what you wanted. You told me yourself you were pressured to move this to three hundred (300) feet or else there were going to be no setback. That is bad business right there to pressure you to do that, you told me that yourself. It is not speculation, conjecture; I am educated as an Engineer. I don't deal in speculation and conjecture, Lawyers do, I don't. I probably know more about the history of the sewer district that exists now on Bay Road absent Cronin Road and that because that was well before my time. I just want to for a little bit want to give people some history on this and the viewing public needs to know this because this is how things go off the rails. I think it was in ninety six or ninety seven I was contacted by then resident of Baybridge, Bob Vollaro. I see there are folks here from Baybridge tonight. Bob is a retired Aero Space Engineer he heard from somebody I don't even remember how that I knew a little something about sewers and wastewater treatment at one time. He said hey, there is a guy that is active in the Community maybe he can help me out so I got involved with Bob. To make a long story short we came up with a plan to create an out of district sewer plan for the Baybridge folks. They had failure essentially on their property of an on-site wastewater system. They had to do something. The DEC was involved. Mike Dalphane is up there in Warrensburg. Basically he said you guys need to do something. We came up with a plan. Actually Valente was very kind. He allowed us to put a pump station on the corner of the existing road that was there. We were going to build a pump station for Baybridge. Everything was going to be okay for them. The Town Board said hey since you guys are going to do this why don't you design something more robust. That was under the leadership of Dennis Brower at the time I don't remember who all the players were at the time I was in transition. I had left the employer of Baybridge because I was their Office Manager, Business Manager and I went to work for Rich Schermerhorn because he knew that we were in the process of doing a sewer district. The Town Board said hey why don't you guys build something more robust to handle additional sewer capacity. Of, course, Rich wanted to develop his property and we said sure if you pay me for the additional cost to do that. We said how much bigger should we make it? They said very simple just do a build out analysis of what exists on Bay Road, which at the time had a thousand (1,000) foot setback so we did that. We incorporated that in this Sewer District No. 7 Extension it....right here you read this it is very very clear. One of things in here that we identify when they start about capacity with this very salient point downstream gravity sewer conditions suggest the five thousand (5,000) gallon per day limit. That is just what you said four hundred twenty five (425). We were given ballpark on that. It wasn't within our spectrum to look at what the downstream capacity was we were just told that. It was approximate five hundred thousand(500,000) a little bit more than the four twenty five (425)we included that in here. That is your boggy. That is your upper limit for this thing. We designed it so that with some upgrades it could go up to four hundred and fifty (450). That would take care of everything and we stated that in here. Everything assuming you stuck with the code. The code is put in place so that Engineers can design a system that can be useable so we were just doing what we normally do as engineering people. This Engineer came out actually under Tom Nace's stamp. Tom is a P.E. I am not a P.E. I am only a lowly Mechanical Engineer by education not a P.E. I am not really a Civil Engineer guy. I understand a little bit about the hydraulic principals of it, but I am not that kind of person. Tom and I worked on this. We came up with this plan. It was a good plan. It was accepted by the Town. A short period of time later BRB came along. REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, MTG#28, 09-14-2015 958 Let's see we did ours in 2002. This was done in 2005 it was amended and improvised in 2006. In this report they said all future phases of the development will comply with the zoning regulations of the Town of Queensbury. You know what they did. Somebody got the smart idea, some hotshot Lawyer got the idea that, hey we just go pressure the board to change the code. Then we will jam whatever we need to and we will max out the capacity. That is exactly what happened here. This is a self-created problem. This did not happen because of poor engineering or people that started using tons more water or whatever. It was because the code was changed. I will go back and say again it is a good thing that you are doing to move it in the right direction. There has already been damage done to the capacity of the system because of the additional stuff that has been added. Rich Schermerhorn, the smart businessman that he is the moment that the code went to three hundred (300) feet he built some great big building a three story building. He never built a three story building before he put one in at Willowbrook. They put in bunch of apartments over there that was never in the calculation. M&J very wisely in doing their build-out analysis showed that in there. Again this has stressed the system significantly. This problem is due to I cannot phrase this any other way, but Dan Stec your former Supervisor was pressured and he caved in on it and we are in the mess that we are in today. In my humble opinion you are not doing anything really bad to the developers. They are still getting a gift as Kathleen just said. It was a thousand (1,000) feet, now it is six hundred (600) feet. People will argue that at one point in time they were allowed to build out to Bay Road that is correct. Valente has a plan that had townhomes built right out to Bay Road, but the reality is the soils up there don't support onsite septic. That is spoke to in both of these reports. They talk about it. They say those soils for lack of a better word are piss poor for on-site septic. They had problems so he didn't built out. Actually he is fortunate that had he built out and had this colossal problem they really would be in trouble up there. They would have had to spend a lot of money. It would have probably fallen on the homeowners in Baybridge to come up with the funds to do this. Fortunately a vertically integrated developer by the name of Rich Schermerhorn came along, built out additional capacity to handle all of Bay Road at the time. Adopt this philosophy that says first come first serve; that is nonsense. I don't want to be here tonight, I really don't. People up on the Board that know me I don't get paid for this. I get nothing from this. What I get is Agida by seeing this stuff. This is a classic example of government running off the rails not paying attention to good engineering. All you have to do is to be able to read black letter type fairly literate I think not much high school education would do it. One would be able to say gee whiz there is something wrong here we really need to think about it. But no, they raced head long into changing the code and here is where the problem lies now and you guys are trying to correct it and that's a good thing. So that is in twenty minutes what would really in detail take me about eight hours to explain to people. There is one other thing I want to point out. The developers up there are going to say, oh well we made it possible to put in additional development up Bay Road. That's true, but they had to do that anyway just like Rich Schermerhorn had to put in sewer to do that. The capacity that was built into that system really has certain limitations by virtue of the slope and whatnot; I'm talking about BRB what they put into this thing. They really should have had a lift station somewhere around where the stream crosses under Bay Road; I don't know the name of it. There is a stream that goes underneath by ACC. That would have been a little better. It would have allowed perhaps a little bit more capacity up stream. But, still you would have to work within the confines of what the limitations are on Cronin Road and so forth. Actually beyond Cronin Road because your own Town Engineer said you can't just make that big enough to do everything everybody wants to do because you create a problem further downstream. There are limitations on your Meadowbrook Pump Station close to Quaker Road so all of this stuff has to be in balance. It reminds me of years ago I remember I will give you this little anecdote thing and then I will shut up for the night. There was I believe a US Congressman somewhere from North Dakota or somewhere wanted to pass a law to make Pie 3 (three) believe it or not. He didn't understand that Pie was an irrational number and you can't make it three (3). You guys are doing the right thing. Don't bow to whatever the hotshot Lawyers have to tell you and a few money interests. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Anybody else from the public that would like to speak to the board about this? Any board members? REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, MTG#28, 09-14-2015 959 COUNCILMAN IRISH-I would just like to say good job on the presentation. We started to look at this very quickly in our first term of last year, the Bay Road capacity. We probably should have let you do that last year. We would have been all set, but good job on the presentation. I think Kathleen and Doug's point we did take a hard look at capacity along Bay Road. We wanted to be able to develop according to the vision set forth in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. We had some concerns based on usage from current users and some that were thinking of becoming users in not being able to build that property or those properties out in the manner that the Town is looking to develop that area thank you both for your kind words. I think that we don't necessarily bend to pressure too much on this Board probably quite the opposite most of the times. You people don't see that part of it. We have worked very hard together to make sure that we came up with a good plan for Bay Road. I think M &J that was the recommendation that the Wastewater Director to bring them on board because they are a disinterested third party. I think that was a great idea. We have used them a couple of times. I've heard some feedback from folks that they thought we wasted a lot of money and time doing that; I happen to disagree. I think we've got the best bang for our buck that we could have gotten out of that. I think at the end of the day over the next five or ten years we will see how the development goes, I think it will come up the way the Town is looking for it to be developed. COUNCILMAN VANNESS- M & J when we looked at them when this thing started originally a year and a half ago we were pretty much in agreement we wanted to see what the capacity was. I think M& J went above and beyond. There were several times when we asked them to come back because we didn't get quite get the vision with the cameras that we wanted to see. We wanted it checked again in the middle of winter. Even our own crew went out there from the Waste Treatment Plant and dug up manholes in the middle of winter. I am very satisfied with the work that they, did I think they were a great choice as well. COUNCILMAN METIVIER-I just want to address Kathleen's comment about Residential PUD's. I was not under the impression that we would have additional residential if a PUD was established. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-The PUD is an entity all to its own. It is up to this Board to approve it. TOWN COUNSEL, SCHACHNER-Or not. COUNCILMAN METIVIER-The point that a PUD comes before us would have more residential than otherwise allowed may not be correct. COUNCILMAN IRISH-They can suggest that, but as Mark said say you need to scale it back. We have more flexibility there because it comes to the Town Board instead of the Planning Board for that type of review as I understand it. TOWN COUNSEL, SCHACHNER-Correct. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Then does it come to the Town Board first then go to the Planning Board how does that work? TOWN COUNSEL, SCHACHNER-Yes, but it depends on what you are referring, too. It depends on which part of the process you are talking about. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-From beginning to end. TOWN COUNSEL, SCHACHNER-There can be a referral to the Planning Board for advisory opinion, but the decision of whether to adopt a Planned Unit Development is up to the Town Board. There might be some subsequent site plan review that could be part of a process. Something could come back to the Planning Board after adoption, but not before. COUNCILMAN METIVIER-So, while their point was valid it is not necessarily true. I hate to say it that way, but.... REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, MTG#28, 09-14-2015 960 COUNCILMAN IRISH-I think it would depend on if a Town Board just ignored it and let the Planning Board do what they wanted to do then yes she would be correct. COUNCILMAN METIVIER-I am not saying Kathleen that your point wasn't, I think you know what I am trying to say. MS. SONNABEND-Yes I understand. COUNCILMAN VANNESS-That was part of our plan when we put that together because we wanted that control to be able to say.... COUNCILMAN METIVIER-I understand that, but I wondered where that point came from. COUNCILMAN IRISH-I am hopeful that our focus on the capacity along Bay Road has more of an impact. I know we have talked over, over and over about site plan review approval and variances from the ZBA being given without considering those types of things. I think we've made pretty good progress in having all of the folks talk to each other before they start giving out approvals for those types of projects. I know Chris has been in the loop a lot more now than he was in the past about those types of projects that are coming forward. He is left to figure out, how do I service this customer. I am hopeful that nobody ignores everything that this Board has done, we are all gone in two months or two years or whatever it is. Then you have another thirty(30) acre parcel that wants to be developed and they just say, sure come in and build. I hope they take a hard look at the work that was done there along Bay Road for sewer capacity. COUNCILMAN METIVIER-So Mark we could send specific directions to the Zoning or Planning Board with what we want. TOWN COUNSEL, SCHACHNER-No I didn't say that. Nothing I said should be interpreted that way. The question was I thought from John does the Town Board have control over....Planned Unit Development as opposed to...inaudible....Doug just said something similar different words, but if any Town Board decide to allow four million residential units the Town Board.....inaudible the Town Board has the lawful authority to do that because a Planned Unit Development is a zoning amendment it unto itself. COUNCILMAN IRISH-Or they could deny the application. COUNCILMAN METIVIER-You had to throw that out there didn't you. TOWN COUNSEL, SCHACHNER-I thought that was the question. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Any thoughts? COUNCILMAN CLEMENTS-Just that I hope that our due diligence has been done. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-I think we did due diligence. If everyone is all set you will see that there is a SEQRA, Environmental Review. It is a full environmental assessment form. You have looked over Part I and you probably have noticed that not all of Part I is filled out, but it doesn't have to be. If you see in Cl,where it discusses planning and zoning actions that if this is a regulation to amend zoning and not for a specific project you only need to fill out C, F, and G. The rest are to remain blank and that is why they are blank. In reviewing Part I does anyone have any questions on Part I.
