2.0 PUBLIC HEARINGS
SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Our Town Attorney felt that the notice needed to be clearer in terms of
amending or proposing to amend the Code. There was a public hearing scheduled for tonight so in
reference to the commercial sand, gravel, topsoil extraction to rural residential and heavy industrial
zones and more specifically they want to put out a notice that makes clear that part of what's being
proposed is the 1,000 foot buffer, which still stays 1,000 foot buffer, but who has jurisdiction over it,
does the ZBA or the Planning Board? What is being proposed is that the Planning Board would have
jurisdiction over that 1,000 foot buffer. I see some emails and such that it's a guaranteed, it's not
guaranteed. It might be likely, the Zoning Board could change it, the Planning Board could change it,
the Zoning Board could keep it the same, the Planning Board could keep it the same. It's not
guaranteed, it's the standard. What we're proposing is that with the Planning Board reviews everything
that it might behoove us and it might be in the best interest to give them the power to change or not
change based on what they're hearing from the public, based on what they're hearing from the
applicant, based on their sense of community planning and so forth. In any event, we're going to re-
notice this and we have a Resolution before us that I'll get to shortly that is going to set the public
hearing for August 20th here in the building at 7:00pm.

REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 08-06-2018, MTG 430 121
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY
ORDERED:
1. The boundaries of the proposed Sewer District Extension are as set forth in the Map,
Plan and Report and as follows:
All that certain piece or parcel of land situate, lying and being in the Town of Queensbury,
County of Warren and the State of New York, more particularly bounded and described as
follows: BEGINNING at a point in the easterly bounds of NYS Route 9, Upper Glen Street,
said point marking the southwesterly corner of the lands as conveyed to Everest Enterprises
LLC by deed book 2953 at page 292; thence running in an easterly direction along the
southerly bounds of Everest Enterprises LLC, North 81 degrees, 22 minutes and 18 seconds
East, a distance of 223.13 feet to a capped iron rod found in the ground for a corner, said point
marking the northwesterly corner of the lands of the Town of Queensbury by deed book 4722
at page 303; thence running in a southerly direction along the westerly bounds of the lands of
the Town of Queensbury, South 08 degrees, 37 minutes and 42 seconds East, a distance of
249.99 feet to a capped iron rod found in the ground for a corner on the northerly bounds of
Montray Road, said point marking the southwesterly corner of the lands as conveyed to the
Town of Queensbury, by deed book 4722 at page 303; thence running in a westerly direction
along the northerly bounds of Montray Road, South 81 degrees, 54 minutes and 04 seconds
West, a distance of 208.68 feet to a concrete monument found in the ground for a corner, said
point marking the intersection of the northerly bounds of Montray Road with the easterly
bounds of NYS Route 9; thence running along the easterly bounds of NYS Route 9, the
following two courses and distances:
(1) North 53 degrees, 22 minutes and 20 seconds West, a distance of 36.67 feet to a
concrete monument found in the ground for a corner;
(2) North 05 degrees, 41 minutes and 59 seconds West, a distance of 222.31 feet to the
place and point of beginning, containing 1.3 acres of land to the same more or less.
Bearings given in the above description refer to grid North. SUBJECT
to easements of record.
2. The proposed improvements consist of a 6" SDR gravity sanitary sewer lateral to be
used to connect a proposed 11,400 sf commercial building into the existing 8" gravity sanitary sewer
main located along the west side of New York State Route 9.
3. The facilities for this Sanitary Sewer District Extension have already been constructed
and are in place; therefore, there are no capital costs associated with this District Extension. The
service lateral to serve the parcel will be paid for by the Developer.
4. The estimated annual cost of the District Extension to the developed parcel would be
calculated as follows: The parcel would be designated Class F, occupied commercial. Based upon a
total lot size of 1.3 acres and an average water use of 2,640 gallons per day (gpd), the annual benefit
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 08-06-2018, MTG 430 122
tax based on current fee rates would be $192.20 per unit. For commercial classification, the current
sewer user fee is $7.00 per 1,000 gallons so for this property based on an actual use rate of 2,640 gpd,
the cost would be approximately $6,745 per year. The total annual charge for sewer district is
therefore $6,937.20.
5. The Developer of the Property will pay all costs of the improvements and has already
paid the one-time buy-in cost and Town connection fee, so there will be no financing required by the
Town on behalf of the District or otherwise.
6. A detailed explanation of how the estimated costs of the District Extension were
computed is included in the Map, Plan and Report which has been filed with the Queensbury Town
Clerk and is available for public inspection.
7. The proposed improvements shall be constructed and installed as specifically delineated
in the Map, Plan and Report and in full accordance with the Town of Queensbury's specifications,
ordinances or local laws, and any State laws or regulations, and in accordance with approved plans and
specifications and under competent engineering supervision.
8. The Town Board shall conduct uncoordinated SEQRA review of the proposed District
Extension to serve the Property.
9. The Town Board shall meet and hold a public hearing at the Queensbury Activities
Center, 742 Bay Road, Queensbury at 7:00 p.m., on Monday, August 20th, 2018 to consider the Map,
Plan and Report and to hear all persons interested in the proposal and to take such other and further
action as may be required or authorized by law.
10. The Town Board hereby authorizes and directs the Queensbury Town Clerk to duly
publish and post this Order not less than ten (10) days nor more than twenty (20) days before the
public hearing date, as required by Town Law §209-d, and complete or arrange for the securing of two
