Duly adopted this 26th day of September,2016 by the following vote: AYES Mr. Clements,Mr.Irish,Mr.VanNess,Mr. Strough,Mr.Metivier NOES None ABSENT: None PUBLIC HEARING- PROPOSED LOCAL LAW TO AMEND QUEENSBURY TOWN CODE CHAPTER 140 "SIGNS" AND CHAPTER 179 "ZONING" AND REVISE THE TOWN'S ZONING MAP NOTICE SHOWN PUBLICATION DATE: SEPTEMBER 16, 2016 SUPERVISOR STROUGH- I will open the public hearing. Anybody like to speak to any of these proposed zoning changes? Yes, Ma'am. VICTORIA BOSSONIS- I have a couple of questions and a couple of comments. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Alright, I didn't catch your last name, Victoria. MS. BOSSONIS- Bossonis. B as in boy, o-s-s-o-n-i-s. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Okay, Victoria. MS. BOSSONIS- Okay. So first I'd like to know about the area near the Aviation Mall. I would like to know who the developer or builder is. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- I'm not allowed to divulge who the developer was that came to me. MS. BOSSONIS- That's okay. I have another question. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- But, it was the developer as well as representatives from the Aviation Mall came to talk to me about this because I had a concern that the Mall live up to its obligation that when it goes to further develop the property behind Ambrosia Restaurant, which used to be the old Holiday Inn, not Holiday in... COUNCILMAN VANNESS- Howard Johnsons. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Howard Johnsons. That they create a connection that will connect the upper parcel to the signalized intersection and they assured me that that would happen. I told them that would have to happen before any development be allowed up there because let's say you put a hotel up there and the buses, you know there are certain AM or PM...they are not going to get back on the interstate unless they went to a signalized intersection. So this is just a common sense thing. So maybe that might be helpful knowing that that's got to happen before any development up there happens. There's also an allocation for a right hand turning lane in front of Ambrosia so that traffic entering this area shouldn't be at levels that would impede the REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 09-26-2016, MTG 430 695 normal traffic flow on Aviation Road; and I'm talking about the eastward bound traffic flow. That the right hand turning lane would have to be constructed. It's already shown on the plans for the Ambrosia Restaurant. If those two things help. MS. BOSSONIS- Okay, I have a couple more questions and a couple comments. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Sure. MS. BOSSONIS- Can I continue? Okay, so the other question is part of the property that you're talking about does that butt up against Coles Woods? COUNCILMAN IRISH- Not, it butts up against the water tower. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Yeah. MS. BOSSONIS- Because I know when you're in Coles Woods and you're walking around, you see part of the Mall. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Yeah, but this is up further. This is where the Howard Johnsons used to be up there. MS. BOSSONIS- I know where it is. COUNCILMAN IRISH- If you look right behind the restaurant, it's all the vacant property right behind the restaurant. MS. BOSSONIS- And then you mentioned that it was to be a motel but to me 70 feet is a hotel, not a motel. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Yeah, well it's the same in our definition, hotels, motels are treated the same in our definition. MS. BOSSONIS- And regarding the multi-use area it sounded something like an arena of some sort where you would have events and so forth. From my knowledge the Civic Center can barely make any money on the events that they hold, I don't see how we can support that. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Well, it would be a private developer if one was to be put in. And a sports arena or permanent facility structure or combination of structures offering at least ten thousand square feet of space dedicated to a meeting space and designed to support as its principal uses, receptions, banquets, entertainment events, community events, school and use events, religious events, conferences, trades, storage, arts, craft shows, exhibits, expos, animal shows or consumer shows, annual conventions, corporate conferences, educational meetings, garage sales, sales incentive meetings as secondary uses any such facility may provide food service or may sell items related to the events in progress. That's the definition. Now we would not be building it. It would be a private developer and, I'm assuming, would be in conjunction with a hotel. You know, like Fort William Henry has a conference center. COUNCILMAN VANNESS- I think that's been one of our biggest complaints, Victoria with the hotels that are coming in off the exit corridor and off exit 19 are the convention spaces to be able to hold, bring a convention in to have a display area. As I'm sure you've been to them yourself where you're going into the vendors. We really don't have that in the immediate area to have a hotel and a vendor spot where they can go into them. So that's something we're trying to cover to try to get them to bring vendors and have an area that vendors can set up in. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Okay? MS. BOSSONIS- Yes, thank you. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- And the definition of motel is a facility offering transient lounging accommodations for a daily rate to the general public in which no provision is made for cooking in any individual room or suite except that such facility may be provided and facilities REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 09-26-2016, MTG 430 696 designated as housekeeping units, housekeeping cabins or other similar terminology. A motel may provide additional services such as restaurants, conference and recreational facilities. Motels may include outdoor athletic courts and facilities and swimming pools for the definition for the term of"hotel" and "bed-and-breakfast"with more than 10 rooms is included. So... MS. BOSSONIS- Okay, thank you for the information. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Alright, thank you. Yes, John. JOHN SALVADOR- With respect to the last resolution, the zoning, I don't think we should forget that the Adirondack Northway is classified as a scenic bi-way, and there are restrictions on what you can build within certain distances of the road. They are not too often recognized but they do exist and I think you should check. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Yes, well we do have, you're not allowed to go to the 70 foot unless you have 100 foot setback or greater. MR. SALVADOR- That's part of the SEQRA? SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Yeah, that's part of it, yeah, I didn't throw that in but I did now. MR. SALVADOR- Only 100 feet? SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Yeah. MR. SALVADOR- Okay. With respect to the changes to the zoning map, I don't see that there's an effort to correct the Town boundaries as they are presently mapped...qualified for a special use permit, which was approved by the Planning Board. On my map, my site plan map, I mapped the Town boundaries as I understand it and as the County has mapped it, and it was approved. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Well, John, our boundary is as it has been established... MR. SALVADOR- Incorrectly for many years. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- No, for a couple of hundred years now. It's shown on all of the maps and there hasn't been any legislative change in that boundary. But, now that you speak of it... MR. SALVADOR- Yes. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Speaker Heck is in the Town and I don't know if we zone that, so thank you, John. MR. SALVADOR- No. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Another loose end I'll pick up, okay. MR. SALVADOR- In any case, I have brought up the subject many, many times. As I tell you that I correctly mapped that boundary and it was incumbent upon the Town to notify the Town of Bolton that they were issuing special use permit and property that bordered their Town. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Well, the border is actually quite a distance from your piece of property. COUNCILMAN IRISH- Are you asking us to revoke your permit, John? MR. SALVADOR- No I'm not. COUNCILMAN IRISH- It sounds like that's what you're asking. MR. SALVADOR- No, I'm asking you to correct the Town boundary. REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 09-26-2016, MTG 430 697 SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Well, the Town boundary is as it's been for 200 years, John. We're not going to change it to accommodate you. MR. SALVADOR- Steak dinner, remember. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Alright. COUNCILMAN IRISH- He's still waiting for one from me too so... MR. SALVADOR- Okay, the other thing in the write up on the zoning changes, section six is a repealer clause. All local laws or ordinances or parts of local laws or ordinances in conflict with any of this local law are hereby repealed. Now I've got to tell you, it's very difficult to sort out what's revised and not revised in the Code. Now here in this text that he presented to us, you have italics and cross outs. That doesn't appear in the Code. That doesn't get there. Now I had to, for this special use permit I speak of, the Zoning Administrator required me to conform to the special use permit criteria that was adopted in the year of 2002 on April I", okay. Now I had to go out, I had to search like hell to find out the criteria for that special use permit at that time, okay. Now it's extremely important when you get a permit based on a code, you have rights. You have rights in that permit and if they get eradicated through a replealer clause, you don't know about it. You do understand that the way the Town Code is written, the avenue to get any kind of a permit requires a conference with the staff, okay. In that conference if you're not careful, your staff is legislating. The first thing you got to do is prepare your application on forms that the Town supplies. Read those forms carefully, they are legislating. Why not put that requirement in the Code so everybody can see it, okay. So that's... SUPERVISOR STROUGH- John, I'm going to disagree with you, they're not legislating. They may be interpreting, there may be administrative judgement. Well, for example, on the Bay Road Professional Office Zone and the 600 foot setback, it was clearly understood by the Board that that 600 foot setback was set aside from everything else, shouldn't be used as it might by some developers to determine densities of residential units behind the 600 foot so that they get more, and then use up any potential commercial use of that 600 foot. That was not the intent of the law. So sometimes administrators have to say, listen, because it's vague, here's my judgement, here's what I think the Town Board meant. Sometimes that's the zoning administrators call. That's not legislating necessarily. MR. SALVADOR- The requirement of need was to produce a valid, a permit valid that had been issued by an involved agency before April 1", 2002. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- When did you submit your application for your marina? MR. SALVADOR- The first one was in 2003. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- And what special use permit analysis applied then? MR. SALVADOR- Um... SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Is that what you had to do? MR. SALVADOR- ...But it's been changed three times. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Alright, well the special use permit analysis that we have now would apply to these zoning changes that we're supposed to be talking about now. MR. SALVADOR- I was required to produce something that pre-dated April 1", 2002. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- We're not going to use that special use permit on this. We're going to use the new one that was produced in 2007. Alright, thank you, John. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Anybody else? You okay, Steph? STEPHANIE BITTER- Yes. REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 09-26-2016, MTG 430 698 SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Alright, I think it's a good idea. Yes, sir, please come forward. ROMAN JAROSH- I'd like to know more about the indoor storage facility. Do we have any other facilities like that in the Town? SUPERVISOR STROUGH- No we don't and that's one reason why we were asked to do it. Zoning in itself is a fluid program. We want to update it with anticipation, or as new things come forward we never anticipated, and allow those uses if they seem appropriate. Now in this case, it was Sokols Market. Sokols Market is sitting there vacant, as it has there for a long time, and that is in the neighborhood commercial zone. Now... MR. JAROSH- Where were the other storage facilities located? Are they... SUPERVISOR STROUGH- There are exterior storage facilities, and those are the ones that you see in a row. MR. JAROSH- Right, but are they neighborhood commercial zones? SUPERVISOR STROUGH- No, this would be the only one that we know of right now. MR. JAROSH- So, what kind of safety precautions do we have as to what people store... SUPERVISOR STROUGH- First of all, it's got to be an existing building, and you can't change the exterior. MR. JAROSH- I understand that. What safety precautions do we have as to what people store in there since it's in a neighborhood commercial zone? SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Oh, you mean like not combustibles and things like that? MR. JAROSH- Yeah. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Yeah. MR. JAROSH- And explosives. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Well, that's a good... MR. JAROSH- Ammunition. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- I don't know if we control that in any of the storage facilities to be honest with you. MR. JAROSH- Well, but they're like not in neighborhood... SUPERVISOR STROUGH- They are in commercial zones, yes, this is not a commercial zone. COUNCILMAN CLEMENTS- I'm assuming that would be under the Fire Marshal's discretion on things like that, wouldn't it? SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Yeah, well the other thing too is that is goes through what we call SUP (special use permit). Another words, when somebody brings their proposed use, and let's say it's an interior storage facility, they go through the SUP process, which Mr. Salvador was referring to. It is more stringent than a site plan review where the Planning Board takes extra concern to make sure that it fits where it's being proposed to. MR. JAROSH- So I have a bunch of chemicals in my cellar and I don't want to keep them there and I put them in a storage unit, who's controlling that? SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Yeah. REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 09-26-2016, MTG 430 699 COUNCILMAN IRISH- Well, I think we could restrict that in the Code, but to be honest with you I'm not sure how you would... MR. JAROSH- My concern is that it's in the neighborhood zone. COUNCILMAN IRISH- Right, but what I'm saying is we can restrict those types of uses or those types of products from being included in that zone, but how would you monitor that? COUNCILMAN METIVIER- But the fact that you just said that I'm storing them in my basement, what's the difference between storing these chemicals in the basement versus a storage facility? There's no difference. We can't monitor what you put in your basement so how would we restrict... MR. JAROSH- Well, it's a single house so if something does happen, it's not going to go through the whole neighborhood. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Alright. COUNCILMAN METIVIER- That's the same basic thing here. It's a single structure. MR. JAROSH- With a lot of different units. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- This may be, you know, like I said, it can't be a warehouse. What it does say is, I didn't read you every single word, I highlighted it. You bring up a good question. But, it does say this that it has to be for storage of items of personal property. I could say this ammunition is my personal property I suppose, you could say, right. So there's still no protection there. MR. JAROSH- Well, give it some thought. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- I will, it's thought provoking. MR. JAROSH- Thank you. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Thank you. COUNCILMAN VANNESS- The other thing, you brought up a good point. It's a very valid point. Again, our relationship with our Planning and our Zoning sometimes isn't so where we like what they're doing and they don't like what we're doing either. But, I think this is going to, especially under and SUP, which is a much stricter policy to get the permit to put it there. I would hope and I would think that, and Bob, correct me if I'm wrong, you know how many times I talk about of Zoning and Planning, but isn't that a criteria that they would set on it as far as what can be stored in it or is that something... TOWN COUNSEL, HAFNER- I don't know what they will consider as part of their process. But I have the same concern that Doug has, how are you going to enforce it? COUNCILMAN VANNESS- I guess my suggestion to you would be to go to the Planning Board when they go for this SUP and voice these same concerns. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- They can condition any approval. COUNCILMAN VANNESS- They have a little more authority than we do, to be honest with you, as far as what can go in there, what can be in there, and what doesn't. I understand and I don't necessarily agree with it and I've said this several times. I understand why the Zoning and Planning is a separate entity from the Town Board even though appoint them, they are a separate entity. So our discussions with them are very limited as to what we can discuss with them, but I would by all means, make a recommendation that you do attend that, I mean, it's a valid point. REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 09-26-2016, MTG 430 700 MR. JAROSH- Alright, but you know most storage unit's people come and go. Nobody is controlling what they put in there, what they're doing. COUNCILMAN VANNESS- Right, in any of them. MR. JAROSH- Right and this is going to be right in the middle of Aviation Road. It's not going to be next to the Northway. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- It's a legitimate concern. MR. JAROSH- Right. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- And Councilman VanNess did point out that as this goes through the special use permit process on the Planning Board they can condition it and disallow certain types of materials. COUNCILMAN VANNESS- And to be honest with you, I mean, I personally know the owner of this and believe me... COUNCILMAN IRISH- Given the other ancillary uses I don't think he would want that there. COUNCILMAN VANNESS- He wouldn't want it either with some of the businesses he's got around it as well, but we understand what you are saying. MR. JAROSH- But he wouldn't even know. COUNCILMAN IRISH- But even if they restrict it how are you going to know? MR. JAROSH- Right, exactly, that's my concern. COUNCILMAN IRISH- But I think that would be the same for any business in Town regardless of what you're... to report. MR. JAROSH- Well, with storage units a lot of people are transient. COUNCILMAN IRISH- I think this will be a much different type of use than what you see at exit 18. They are going to be smaller units. I think the intent is really more toward a professional...I could be mistaken. COUNCILMAN VANNESS- Temperature controlled. COUNCILMAN IRISH- Yeah. COUNCILMAN VANNESS- I think that's the important thing. COUNCILMAN IRISH- They're more for maybe a doctor's office that needs additional storage. I've got a home office, maybe I need additional storage. Those types of things. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Items of personal property is what it says. COUNCILMAN VANNESS- To be honest with you, my previous job as a police officer and a drug and narcotics guy, I'd be more concerned about these ones that are out in left field about what they're making and building in those than I would be right in the center of town, to be quite frank with you, and I've seen it. MR. JAROSH- Sometimes they like to put it right under your nose. COUNCILMAN VANNESS- Yeah, yeah, you're right. MR. JAROSH- Alright, thank you. REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 09-26-2016, MTG 430 701 COUNCILMAN VANNESS- Yeah, you're welcome. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Thank you, Mr. Jarosh. COUNCILMAN IRISH- I know you left you a message and I haven't forgotten about it. If you want to give me a call tomorrow we can talk about it. MR. JAROSH- That's why I came to see who you are. COUNCILMAN IRISH- Okay. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Alright, thank you. Anybody else have thoughts or concerns or anything on any of the zoning changes? Yes, sir. MEMBER FROM THE AUDIENCE- Is this just on the zoning right now? SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Yes, this is on the zoning right now. If you have a general Town question, I do have another segment of this. As a matter of fact, we have two more segments. One speaks to the resolutions, and then one speaks to any Town issue and that's at the end. Okay. Alright, seeing no other concerns from the public as far as the zoning changes, thoughts from Town Board before we go into SEQRA. COUNCILMAN VANNESS- I'm fine, I just hope somehow we can get the message to the Planning Board, with the legit questions that he has and hopefully it's something they can talk about and I'm sure if they met with Matt, I'm sure it's something that they could work with him on. Other than that, I'm fine. SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Alright, Bob...Now has everyone reviewed Part I?
