MR. TRAVER-Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the Town of Queensbury Planning
Board meeting for Tuesday, November 27t", 2018. This is our second meeting for the month of
November and the 24" meeting for this year. We have a few Administrative Items to take care of
first and I'd like to make a couple of notifications. First if you have an electronic device please either
turn it off or turn the ringer off to vibrate so it doesn't interrupt our proceedings. Also in the case
of emergency please not that we have illuminated exit signs and those are your exit points in the event
that we need to evacuate the building. There should be some agendas on the table at the back of the
room if you need one and don't have one, and with that we'll begin with our Administrative Items.
The first one being Site Plan 57-2015 for Queensbury Partners.
ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS
PUD SITE PLAN 57-2015 QUEENSBURY PARTNERS— REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL EXTENSION
TO APPROVED SITE PLAN.
MR. TRAVER-They're asking for an additional extension and, Laura, any comments on the extension?
Six months.
MRS. MOORE-No. They're still working with the, I believe it's with the buyer and they're not certain
where they're turning to.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. They've had a number of extensions I know. I'm not sure, because they were
2015. So now we're three years down the road. Although this is six months, not a year.
MRS. MOORE-If you'd like to potentially give them guidance that at the end of their six months if
they're requesting another one that they should be present at the meeting, to give them a status
update.
MR. TRAVER-Yes. I mean, this is another one, and we had one a couple of meetings ago where we're
now getting so far out they're going to have to submit a new topographic detail if we don't get
something moving on this, but in any case we have a motion. Are there any questions on this from
members of the Board? No? Okay. Then we'll hear that motion.

from coming back and re-applying, and that's the without prejudice part. Does anyone have any,
Laura, do you have any comments on that? I see they've not submitted any information.

MR. TRAVER-And, let's see, the last Administrative Item we have I believe is a request for tabling, or

be tabled.
SP 27-2017 & SUP 7-2017 SEATON PROPERTY HOLDINGS — CONTINUED TABLING
MR. TRAVER-Did they request a specific date?
MRS. MOORE-They didn't request a specific time. The status of that application is they did do a
noise study and they're compiling that information to report it back to the Board. So I don't know
whether, they potentially have it done for a January meeting, but I have not heard back from them.
So I'm comfortable with either a January or a February meeting time for that. So I'll leave it up to the
Board.
MR. TRAVER-Why don't we, what's the, and I looked at the draft and I don't have it with me. The
January meetings?
MRS. MOORE-January meeting would be the 15" or the 22"
MR. TRAVER-Yes. How are the agendas looking thus far?
MRS. MOORE-1 have no projects for January at this time.
MR. TRAVER-All right. Well why don't we table them to the January.
MRS. MOORE-The 15t"? The first meeting or the second meeting?
MR. TRAVER-Yes. Why don't we table them to the first meeting which would be the 15t". So that
would be January 15, 2019, and we have a draft motion to that effect.
Applicant proposes operation of a wood processing facility with a new 15,000 sq. ft. enclosed pole
barn for wood products and to install two 1,200 sq. ft. kiln units on the site. Project includes merger

MR. TRAVER-Laura?
MRS. MOORE-This applicant proposed a revision based on comments from the Zoning Board of
Appeals. They went from a five lot to a four lot subdivision. Three of the lots are to be residential
and one lot that remains is 25.78 acres and that is to be undeveloped per the previous subdivision and
the applicant received a variance on 11/14/18 for lots that were less than two acres.

(Queensbury Planning Board 11/27/2018]
MR. TRAVER-Okay. Great. Thank you. Good evening. Welcome back.
MR. CENTER-Good evening. Tom Center with Hutchins Engineering. As Laura said from last time
you folks had reviewed the project we made one change, eliminated a lot. We have three proposed
new residential lots, 1.2, 1.01, and 1.04. We're leaving the remaining piece on the west side of the road
not to be developed as 25.78. We also reviewed the Town Engineer's comments regarding stormwater.
To address those we did model the lots for the 25 year stormwater per the Town of Queensbury's
design. The Notice of Intent, the DEC stormwater would be erosion and sediment control only. We
don't need to provide post stormwater controls for this development because we're under the five
acres for the residential, one to five acres. Our disturbance is 1.5 acres and our total impervious is .2
acres. So we checked with DEC regarding the question that Chazen had regarding that. It was
determined that erosion and sediment control was all that applied to this, but Section 147 of the Town
Code we have to do a 25 year design storm, which we've modeled that by guttering the roofs and
directing them towards the rear of the lot, well drained sands, and then the driveway in the front
portion of the lawn, the driveway would be shed to a stone trench alongside of the driveway.
MR. TRAVER-So you feel confident you can satisfy the Town Engineer and get the signoff you need?
MR. CENTER-Yes.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. Questions, comments from members of the Planning Board? We did look at
this, but with four lots instead of three, and we do have a public hearing on this as well, before Laura
reminds me. Do we have any questions for the applicant before we go to public hearing?
MR. DIXON-I'll just ask one quick one. So the houses that are going to be built there, are they going
to be spec houses? Are they going to remain vacant until somebody requests to build or are you
going to build houses?
MR. CENTER-I believe they're all, this parcel is under contract with someone to build the houses. I
don't believe it'll be Mr. Farone that'll be building the houses. I don't know for sure if they're going
to build a spec house or not. I believe they're going to just put the lots up for sale. I believe Mr.
Clute and Mr. Steves have bought several of the vacant lots already and are in the process of renovating
those, putting them up for sale.
MR. DIXON-I had some concerns from some residents over there. They approached me when I was
looking at the property, or these properties, and I guess there's some other homes in that area that
are left vacant. So they're concerned.
MR. CENTER-There were some previous ones. Those ones that were vacant have been purchased and
are in the process of being finished or repaired and put up for sale and weather tight. These won't
be left in that. I believe there's actually two different folks that are there, that are vying for these
three lots. I believe they're going to be turned over fairly quickly. Hodorowski has already sold
most of those. They're working on one right now. They own some of the lots in there and are
working through that subdivision fairly quickly.
MR. DIXON-Thank you.
MR. TRAVER-We do have a public hearing on this application. Is there anyone in the audience that
wanted to address the Planning Board on this application? Not seeing anyone, Laura, are there any
written comments?
PUBLIC HEARING OPEN
MRS. MOORE-There's no written comments.
MR. TRAVER-There are none. Then we will close the public hearing and proceed to look at the
application under SEAR.
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
MR.TRAVER-Does anyone have any concerns regarding environmental impacts on this project? Okay.
Then we do have a draft resolution for SEAR.

TOM HUTCHINS, REPRESENTING APPLICANT, PRESENT; CURT DYBAS, PRESENT
MR. TRAVER-Laura?
MRS. MOORE-Okay. This applicant proposes a 711 square foot single story addition to the main floor
for a new bedroom. The project includes alterations to the house including kitchen area expansion,
living room area with a raised roof, and removal of two porch areas on the shore side, and the applicant
received a variance on 11/14/2018 for setback distance to the shoreline.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you. Good evening.
MR. DYBAS-Good evening. Mr. Chairman, members of the Board. I'm Curt Dybas along with Tom
Hutchins representing David and Sally Kelly regarding additions and alterations to a house they
purchased at 17 Cliff Hollow Road in Queensbury. The house was built in 1983 and needs an upgrade.
Basically everything about it is stuck in time 35 years ago. The siding and windows and interior. So
basically we're taking it down to the framing and we're going to put a master bedroom suite on the
main floor for aging in place and eliminating one of the first floor bedrooms and making it an audio
room, opening it up to the Great Room. A couple of clarifications in the application is the 711 square
feet, that includes the basement and the first floor of the addition. That's not a 711 square foot single
story addition. The first floor bedroom will be an audio. The second floor bedroom which was the
master suite will remain and will be basically a guest suite for people to come and go and be updated,
paint and that type of stuff. Laura mentioned there is a second floor cantilevered deck that was off
that master bedroom on the second floor we've removed. The footprint will be reduced by 221 square
feet. That may not be significant but it is a reduction. The 64 foot 8 inch setback which is existing
will remain. We're not asking for a reduction in any of the setbacks, and the existing height of the
12
(Queensbury Planning Board 11/27/2018]
ridge as built will remain. Pretty much that's it for the house. As I said new siding, new windows,
new roof. Skylights will be removed. Dormers replaced. It will change the whole outlook of the
entire residence. The one thing on the brief is raising the ceiling of the second floor bedroom, what
we're doing is adding a dormer on the right hand side in that bedroom which is above the Great Room.
The bedroom is to the left of that. The second floor bedroom to remain. The screened porch is the
shaded area.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. You were granted your variance when you went before the ZBA. With your
review before the ZBA, were there any changes as a result of that discussion with the ZBA to your
plan that we previously reviewed?
MR. DYBAS-No.
MR. TRAVER-No. Okay. Thank you. Questions, comments from members of the Planning Board?
MR. SHAFER-Tom, remind me, there are four bedrooms now and there will be four in the future?
MR. DYBAS-Correct.
MR. SHAFER-I think you said that last time. Talk about the disposal field, if you would. We didn't
get into that last time.
MR. HUTCHINS-Sure. We do have documentation of it. It was a mid-1980's system. It's a true
mound. It's a very well documented design for the early 1980's. It's a mound, pressure distribution.
Designed to 600 gallons a day which was four bedrooms at the time. So the septic tank will be
replaced. That's a 1,000 gallon tank, and we're going to go to a 1250 gallon septic tank, but other
than that, the pump station, pumps will probably be replaced, but the pump station will remain and the
absorption field will remain, and there is adequate space should there be an issue in the future.
MR. SHAFER-And it's working properly now?
MR. HUTCHINS-It's working properly now.
MR. SHAFER-Okay.
MR. TRAVER-Anything else before we go to public hearing? We do have a public hearing on this
application as well. Is there anyone in the audience that wanted to address the Planning Board? Laura,
are there any written comments?
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED
MRS. MOORE-There's one written comment. "Dear Chairman Traver: We have seen the plans that
David and Sally Kelly are bringing forward for an addition and renovations to their existing structure.
We fully support the project and hope the Board will grant a variance. Thank you for your
consideration in this matter. Sincerely, Michael and Jennifer Chase 40 Dark Bay Lane"
MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you. We will close the public hearing on this application.
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
MR. TRAVER-This is a Type II. So no SEQR regulations apply, and if there are no other questions
or comments, we can move to the Site Plan resolution.

MS. FREEBERN-Hi.
MR. TRAVER-So I know we discussed the issue about the lift and the weather impacting its functionality
and you wanted to switch to a ramp and so on, and you're here basically because of the setbacks of
the property.
MS. FREEBERN-Yes.
MR. TRAVER-And then you were before the ZBA on the 14" and they granted your variance. Did
they require any changes to your project at all other than what we have already looked at?
MS. FREEBERN-None.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. Any questions, comments from members of the Board? It seems fairly
straightforward and we've discussed it.
