3. All wastewater generated by the new Home Depot will discharge into the existing sewer
collection system within the Northway Plaza. Proposed Sewer Extension improvements consist of
extending the existing gravity sewer collection system in the Northway Plaza to within 50 feet of the new
Home Depot building. The work will include installation of 1,055 feet ofpvc sewer pipe, in-line cleanouts
and pre-cast concrete sanitary manhole structures. Ray Supply Company will utilize an existing gravity
sewer lateral installed by the Wal-Mart Sewer District Extension to connect into Town facilities and such
improvements will also include installation of 25 feet of pvc pipe, in-line cleanouts and abandonment of the
existing on-site septic disposal system. All such Sewer Extension improvements are more specifically
delineated in the Map, Plan and Report. The cost shall include a buy-in to the City of Glens Falls
Wastewater Treatment Plant for the Ray Supply Company connection in the amount of $135 ($1 per gallon
fee x 35 gpd) due at the time of initial hook-up. The Town will waive the buy-in fee for the Northway
Plaza since a net decrease in project use is anticipated.
4. All costs of construction, legal and engineering fees shall be the responsibility of the
Northway Plaza, developer for the proposed Home Depot store, and the Ray Supply Company and are not
intended to be shared by other users within the Sewer District in accordance with a formula delineated in
the Map, Plan and Report. The improvements shall be constructed and installed in full accordance with the
Town of Queensbury's specifications, ordinances or local laws, any State laws or regulations, in accordance
with approved plans and specifications and under competent engineering supervision.
5. The maximum cost for the Sewer District Extension improvements will be $27,900. Ifin
the future the new Home Depot must install a lift station and force main equipment to maintain their sewer
connection, that preliminary construction cost is approximately $39,300 The areas or properties that
comprise the Extension will be subject to the same cost for operation, maintenance and capital
improvements as in the Central Queensbury Quaker Road Sewer District.
6. The estimated cost of hook-up fees to the typical property will be $0. The estimated
annual cost of the Extension to the properties will be $4,460 and approximately $1,690 for sewer rents; the
total estimated annual cost is $6,150. Since there are none, the estimated annual cost for a one or two
family home would be $0 for debt service and approximately $0 per year for sewer rents for a total
estimated annual cost of $0. There are no one or two family homes in the Extension, so their hook-up cost
would be $0.00. The proposed Extension contains only commercial class property; there is no residential
property. However, the estimated annual cost of the proposed Extension to the typical one or two family
residence if included in such Extension would be $289.20 and approximately $60 for sewer rents. The total
estimated annual cost for such property if included in the Extension would be $350.
7. In accordance with Town Law ~206-a, all future expenses of the Central Queensbury
Quaker Road Sewer District, including all extensions included heretofore or hereafter established, shall be
a charge against the entire area of the district as extended.
8. The Map, Plan and Report describing the improvements, area involved and a detailed
explanation of hook-up fees and cost of the District to the typical property, and, if different, the typical one
or two family home, is on file with the Queensbury Town Clerk and is available for public inspection.
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, January 6th, 2003 to consider the Map, Plan
and Report, hear all persons interested in the proposal and 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 (2)
Affidavits of Publication of Notice and two (2) Affidavits of Posting of Notice of the Public Hearing
required hereby and to file a certified copy of this Order with the State Comptroller on or about the date of
publication.
12. The Town of Queensbury Community Development Department is hereby requested to
prepare a report on any environmental impacts that should be considered at the time a SEQRA review is
conducted.
13. The Town Board hereby authorizes and directs the Community Development Department
to send a copy of this Resolution, Part I of the Environmental Assessment Form presented at this meeting
and a copy of the Map, Plan and Report to all potentially involved agencies and to the New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation and New York State Department of Health together with all

ORDER SETTING PUBLIC HEARING CONCERNING PROPOSED CREATION OF WEST
QUEENSBURY SANITARY SEWER DISTRICT
RESOLUTION NO. 517,2002
INTRODUCED BY: Mr. Tim Brewer WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY: Mr. Roger Boor
WHEREAS, the Town of Queensbury wishes to create a new sewer district to be known as the
West Queensbury Sanitary Sewer District, and
WHEREAS, a District Formation Report (Map, Plan and Report) has been prepared by Barton &
Loguidice, P.C., professional engineers, concerning the proposed sewer district formation and the
construction of sewer facilities along Warren County Route 28 (Main Street and Corinth Road) to service
the area between the City of Glens Falls and Big Bay Road, west of Interstate 87 (the Adirondack
Northway), as more specifically set forth and described in the Map, Plan and Report, and
WHEREAS, the Map, Plan and Report has been filed in the Queensbury Town Clerk's Office and
is available for public inspection, and
WHEREAS, the Map, Plan and Report delineates the boundaries of the proposed Sewer District, a
general plan of the proposed sewer system, a report of the proposed sewer system and method of operation,
and
WHEREAS, coordinated SEQRA review will be conducted and the Town will send a copy of Part
I of the EAF and the Report to all potentially involved agencies including the New York State Department
of Environmental Conservation and New York State Department of Health together with all required
documentation and a letter indicating that the Town Board will be undertaking consideration of the project
identified in this Order, that coordinated SEQRA review with the Queensbury Town Board as lead agency
is desired and that a lead agency must be agreed upon within 30 days, and
WHEREAS, the Town Board wishes to establish the proposed West Queensbury Sanitary Sewer
District in accordance with Town Law Article 12-A
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS
ORDERED:
1. The boundaries of the proposed West Queensbury Sanitary Sewer District are shown on the Map of
Proposed Sewer District attached as Appendix A to the Map, Plan and Report and in the description of the
boundary attached to this Order as Exhibit A. The benefited properties proposed to be a part of the Sewer
District are as detailed on Appendix C of the Map, Plan and Report and as Exhibit B attached to this Order.
2. The proposed improvements include the construction of a ten inch PVC gravity sewer main along
Warren County Route 28 in the Town of Queensbury. The sewer main would connect the City of Glens
Falls sewer system approximately 150 feet east of the Town/City line and would be installed along the
south side of the roadway typically three feet south of the southern edge of the proposed sidewalk, crossing
Interstate Route 87 and terminating approximately 150 feet west of the intersection of Corinth Road and
Big Bay Road. Permanent utility easements would be sought, where required. In all, approximately 6,250
linear feet of PVC sewer main would be constructed. Service laterals would be provided from the sewer
main to the property or easement line for each existing developed and undeveloped parcel within the
proposed Sewer District. Property owners would be required to connect their building plumbing to the
sewer service lateral and, where applicable, to disconnect and decommission their private on-site wastewter
disposal system.
3. All proposed improvements shall be installed and paid for as described in the Report (including the cost
payable to the City at the time of initial hook -up) and shall be constructed and installed 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.

time buy-in fee to the City of Glens Falls wastewater treatment facility. The improvement costs for various
components of the proposed Sewer District are specifically described in the Map, Plan and Report.
5. The properties within the proposed Sewer District vary widely in their respected use. The estimated cost
to each property is listed in Appendix C to the Map, Plan and Report and a list of each property owner and
tax map number with the estimated costs of each parcel is attached as Exhibit B of this Resolution and is
incorporated in this Resolution. The proposed Sewer District will charge properties based on a formula,
not on assessed value.
The estimated annual cost of the Project to the typical one or two family home, which is also the
"typical" property, in the proposed Sewer District will be $361.80.
There will be only a $10 permit fee by the Town for hook-up to the proposed Sewer District.
Each property owner will arrange for his/her hook-up to the System at his/her own cost. There will be no
additional charge to the Town.
The cost to retain a private contractor to install a new collection sewer system and/or sewer lateral
between a building and the main Project sewer lines vary significantly depending on the individual
conditions including distance from the line and various subsurface conditions.
6. A detailed explanation of how the estimated cost of the District to the typical property,
and, if different, the typical one or two family home was computed is included in the Report which is on
file with the Town Clerk and available for public inspection.
7. The Town Board shall meet and hold a public hearing to hear all persons interested in the establishment
of the Sewer District, consider the Map, Plan and Report and take such other and further action as may be
required or authorized by law at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, January 6th, 2003 at the Queensbury Activities

Publication of Notice and two (2) Affidavits of Posting of Notice of the Public Hearing and file a certified
copy of this Order with the State Comptroller on or about the date of publication.
9. The Town Board further authorizes and directs the Community Development Department to prepare a
report on any environmental impacts that should be considered at the time a SEQRA review is conducted.
10. The Town Board hereby authorizes and directs the Community Development Department to send a
copy of this Resolution, Part I of the Environmental Assessment Form presented at this meeting and a copy
of the Map, Plan and Report to all potentially involved agencies and to the New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation and New York State Department of Health together with all documentation to

ORDER SETTING PUBLIC HEARING CONCERNING PROPOSED WATER DISTRICT
IMPROVEMENTS ALONG MAIN STREET IN THE QUEENSBURY CONSOLIDATED WATER
DISTRICT
RESOLUTION NO. 518,2002
INTRODUCED BY: Mr. Tim Brewer WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY: Mr. Theodore Turner
WHEREAS, the Queensbury Town Board wishes to make certain improvements to the
Queensbury Consolidated Water District being the replacement of a water main along Main Street, and
WHEREAS, a Map, Plan and Report has been prepared by Barton & Loguidice, P.c., professional
engineers licensed by the State of New York concerning the proposed Water District improvements as
more specifically set forth and described in the Map, Plan and Report, and
WHEREAS, the Town Board accepts such Map, Plan and Report as the Map, Plan and Report for
the Water District improvements and such Map, Plan and Report has been filed in the Queensbury Town
Clerk's Office and is available for public inspection, and
WHEREAS, the Map, Plan and Report describes exactly what work is proposed to be done, and
WHEREAS, the Town Board wishes to authorize such improvements to the Queensbury
Consolidated Water District and the replacement of the currently obsolete, inadequate or worn-out water
main along Main Street, and
WHEREAS, Part I of an Environmental Assessment Form has been prepared and presented at this

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS
ORDERED:
1. The Queensbury Town Board shall hold a public hearing to consider the improvement of the Queensbury
Consolidated Water District by replacing the water main along Main Street, Queensbury as described in the
Map, Plan and Report. The proposed improvements are as described in such Map, Plan and Report,
including the replacement of the aged 8" water main along Main Street with a new 12" water main and
which improvements would also provide an additional connection from the existing 12" water main coming
from the west along Corinth Road, thereby improving pressure and flow to the Queensbury Consolidated
Water District.
2. It is proposed that construction of the water main would immediately precede the currently planned road
reconstruction project. Since this is a replacement of an existing water main, it is not expected that there
will be any lands to be acquired and it is expected that the water main would be placed in the highway
rights-of-way along the northern portion of Main Street as more specifically shown in the Map, Plan and
Report.
3. The maximum estimated cost for these improvements to the Queensbury Consolidated Water District is
$470,000.

Road, Queensbury, New York 12804 at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, January 6th, 2003 to consider the Map, Plan
and Report, hear all persons interested in the proposal and take such other and further action as may be
required or authorized by law.
6. 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 ~202-b and complete or arrange for the securing of the required two (2) Affidavits of
Publication of Notice and two (2) Affidavits of Posting of Notice of the Public Hearing and file a certified
copy of this Order with the State Comptroller on or about the date of publication.
7. The Town Board further authorizes and directs the Community Development Department to prepare a
report on any environmental impacts that should be considered at the time a SEQRA review is conducted.
8. The Town Board hereby authorizes and directs the Community Development Department to send a copy
of this Resolution, Part I of the Environmental Assessment Form presented at this meeting and a copy of
the Map, Plan and Report to all potentially involved agencies and to the New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation and New York State Department of Health together with all documentation to
be sent out with a letter indicating that the Town Board is about to undertake consideration of the project
identified in this Resolution, that a coordinated SEQRA review with the Queensbury Town Board as Lead

8.0 TOWN BOARD DISCUSSIONS
Councilman Boor-Requested that a workshop be set up in late January regarding the lighting district
consolidation. Town Counsel, Executive Director of Community Development the Comptroller and myself
have met several times and come up with some good ideas and I would like to get everyone else on board
and get more input.
Councilman Stec-Regarding lighting, the Route 9 Outlets decorative lighting?
Community Development Director Round-I think we can do it under the existing lighting policy, Mr. Boor
was talking about both district consolidation and some changes to the lighting district policy. We have
talked to CT Male Associates they are working on the Route 9 sewer district and they assisted us on some
work already, we expect that they will prepare a design during that process before that gets constructed and
that will get coordinated with the sewer district project so there will be a single disruption to the road area.
Councilman Boor-We can use general funds for lights in specific areas where safety is viewed, we will
have one lighting district but we will be able to use general funds to do certain lighting in certain areas
commercial corridors that will be part of the things I would like to go over. It is a great way to save the
taxpayers money, it spreads the costs out to everybody that will be in a safer way traveling certain
commercial corridors and not over tax those people who live right next to it.
Councilman Stec-Just one thing, the Town receives the magazine Talk of the Town topics on page six there
is a handful of opinions from the State Comptroller; Opinion 2002-4 the Town may expend tax money to
dredge a privately owned water way within the Town where the dredging will provide at most only an
incidental benefit to the private owner and will primarily serve town purposes. The dredging may be
carried out by the Towns highway department provided that such work does not interfere with the usual
work of the Superintendent of Highways and the cost of the work is charged to the Towns general fund. I
know there has been debate of whether it is allowed or not and I think now the only debate is, is this at
most only an incidental benefit to the private owners and primarily service the towns purposes.
Supervisor Brower-I think the main concern that the Town had was from a liability standpoint more than
anything, we were the deep pockets that would be if we were lead agent on the project and if we are not
lead agent on the project we are not putting our taxpayers in jeopardy.
Councilman Stec-I agree but an argument was made by some that it was private and so we can't do it
according to that the publication that is not accurate.
Councilman Brewer-RE: lights Have we heard anything from NIMO?
Councilman Turner-No
Councilman Brewer-Asked that Councilman Turner call them again.
Supervisor Brower-The County on Wednesday the 18th at 10:00 AM. during the County Board Meeting
Seamans will discuss Code Generation Facilities and how they propose to potentially to interface with
Warren County in a partial or full blown manner and anyone that has a specific interest in this is invited to
attend. The Seniors had a Holiday Party at the Bavarian Palace on Friday at noon and it was well attended,
Kathleen Kathy as usual did a fine job coordinating the event and we had a couple hundred seniors there for
that party and it came off quite nicely.

SUPERVISOR BROWER-Is the applicant or the applicant's representative here? Okay, if you'd come
forward please and introduce yourself for the record.
MR. CLYDE SMITH-I'm Clyde Smith, the applicant for the variance.
SUPERVISOR BROWER-Thank you. Mr. Hatin is here too I see. Dave, would you like to join Mr.
Smith. I take it, you've reviewed this application.
MR. DAVE HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-Yes, John O'Brien has spent quite amount of time with
Mr. Smith to get the best possible solution we could. I believe the layout you have before you is the best
alternative.
COUNCILMAN STEC-You're talking about fifteen feet of relief from the hundred?
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-Right, that's the best we can do given the layout of the lot and
the septic system.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-And the existing is going to remain?
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-No, that's the existing tank and line, and that, he is going to
reuse that, yes. So, the system will be new, so.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Where was it going the other, before this, Dave, which way?
MR.HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-I believe it was right in the back.
MR. SMITH-Yes.
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-Right by the septic tank behind the garage. So, it is an
improved distance ...
COUNCILMAN BREWER-It's just a conventional system?
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-Yes.
COUNCILMAN TURNER-Elgin system.
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-Elgin system, conventional system.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-That's almost conventional nowadays.
SUPERVISOR BROWER-Further questions from board members?
COUNCILMAN TURNER-I'm satisfied, fifteen feet is minimal relief.
SUPERVISOR BROWER-Do you have anything to add Mr. Smith?
MR. SMITH -No, except there's no other possibilities.
SUPERVISOR BROWER-You have limited options, right?
MR. SMITH-Yes.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-We've granted far greater variances then this and you're the only one it's going to
impact so I have no problem with it.
SUPERVISOR BROWER-Okay, thank you very much. Do I have a motion?
COUNCILMAN STEC-You've got to open the public hearing.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-You ought to let the public speak.
SUPERVISOR BROWER-Is this a public hearing?

UNSAFE PROPERTY OF BILLY JOE MEADER LOCATED AT 24 GARNER STREET - TAX MAP

BOARD OF HEALTH RESOLUTION NO.3, 2003
INTRODUCED BY: Mr. Theodore Turner WHO MOVED FOR ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY: Mr. Tim Brewer
DISCUSSION:
SUPERVISOR BROWER-Dave, do you want to, I read your, this is the second instance of sewage
discharge.
MR. HA TIN, Director of Building & Codes-Right, this started back in April of 2002, we received a
complaint from the neighbor, Mr. Chandler, complaining of a septic order from his neighbor's property. I
investigated it, found that the septic system was over flowing on the ground. Contacted the owner, he had
it pumped, at the time refused to replace it saying that his septic contractor had told him that the system was
fine, it just needed to be pumped and they covered the area. That was fine until this fall about November,
the end of November, we received the same complaint again from the same neighbor. Went out there,
found out the dog had dug a hole in the dog yard where the dog is chained up and actually dug into the
septic effluent that was leaching out from the pit. Again, citing Mr. Meader and the tenant who lives there,
Ms. Manza. But I don't know if it's a girlfriend or who she is, found out that apparently Mr. Meader doesn't
live at the property anymore, I've heard conflicting stories, I'm not sue. Served papers on them, ordered
them to correct the situation. Received a call from Ms. Manza's mother, who works for an attorney and
told me I had no right to be on the property and that there was no problem, they had it taken care of it. I
talked to Cook's Septic System who pumped the tank at that time, they told me that the pit was full, they
had pumped it, they figured they could clean it and buy it some more time but if the pit is full, that means
it's failed basically, it's not leaching properly.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-And what was the interim on these two occurrences?
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-Oh, you're talking April to November, so. Received a letter
from the neighbor again who had complained and he called me tonight before I left work to tell me that he
was again smelling the odor from the property in the same area.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-This a single family residence?
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-Single family residence. What I suggest the board is have a
hearing, what I would like to do is, if they won't take any action to correct it which is basically to install a
new system, is to shut the water off to the house in order to vacate it until such time that they do. So, that's
what I'll be asking for.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Whose living there now? Is a family?
MR.HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-It's a, there's a male, a female and I believe two children.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Oh, there are children?
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-Yes. So, they were upset because I had ordered them to fix it
within three days last time, it was Thanksgiving, or I would take further action to have the place closed and
they were upset.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Are these owners or renters?
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-I believe she's a renter but I can't confirm that because she
won't talk to me, so and she ordered me off the property last time I was there, so I said, fine, that's why we
have the order you have before you now.
COUNCILMAN TURNER-Can you reach the owner, Meader, have you talked to him?
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-I've tried, the only address we have is the 24 Gamer Street and
the neighbor claims he doesn't live there, she also claims he doesn't live there, the tenant. So, I wanted this
served on the tenant and I'll try and I'll send it certified mail but the last certified mail I got back last week
and that's what forced me to take this action, so.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Bob, what happens when we serve to a tenant? I mean, is that valid?
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-It's not the same as service on the person but it's, you want to serve on the
location of the property.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Right.
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-And you also want to try to send certified mail to the address that we have.
We should, you know, see if there are any other ways to try to get a hold of Mr. Meader.
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-No, I've used my contacts and there is no other way.
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-And there's no mortgage on the property? We can't do like we sometimes
do?
MR. HA TIN, Director of Building & Codes-That would get us to the bank but I
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-The bank knows where the money comes in.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-I would prefer to go to the owner, I think that's the way we should do this.
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-It's often a good way to get
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-I'll do, I'll attempt, like I did service on myself, I'll send a
certified letter, I'll serve the tenant personally or leave it in the door, that's the best I think we're going to get
out of the situation cause I don't have another address for him. So, and I have tried some other means to
find out where he lives.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-This system is failed right now?
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-As far as I can tell it's failed, according to this person that
pumped the system, it was full so that means it's going to fill up and the owner called, or the neighbor
called me tonight and said that he could smell sewage again.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Well, I would propose or think about that we should do something before a
month, if this thing is
COUNCILMAN BOOR-No, I think, I agree, I would like to do something tomorrow but I think we really
have to find out the owner.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Well, we've got a letter from our Health, Dr. Evans, and it's, I mean, there
must be other children and people living right next door, I mean, it's a health hazard to them.
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-Right.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-I wouldn't, I want to do something right away.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-I agree but I don't think the tenants liable.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Understood but
COUNCILMAN BOOR-And I don't know if there's legal, I don't know if they have a legal responsibility to
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-It would always be best to give notice to the proper owner and to take the
time to do that.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-And wait a month?
COUNCILMAN BOOR-I don't think it will take a month, it should
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Well, we're setting the public hearing for the 27th
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-We're setting a public hearing for
COUNCILMAN BREWER-And then we're going to have to give them time to do it.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-What I'm suggesting is that we locate the owner tomorrow.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Right.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Or the next day and that we notify them.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Understood and I agree with you.
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-And this would do that and this would set up
COUNCILMAN BREWER-But then this resolution sets a public hearing for the 27th, Roger.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-I, you know, if you want to step it up, that's fine, Ijust, I'm trying to do it as
legally, I mean, if it hadn't, if we can't enforce it, why do it? I mean, I don't want to end up in court with
something that's unenforceable.
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-Well, we can certainly enforce it because I mean, shutting the
water off, will solve the problem.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Yea, but
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-But the problem it creates is the tenants have no water.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-But I think we could get sued if we're not, I defer to counsel on this, I'm not going
to pretend to know.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Well, I would think back to when we took immediate action on a health hazard
we had this fall or this summer and we took immediate action the next day.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-On the owner, right?
SUPERVISOR BROWER-I guess I
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-We took immediate action on things that were outside and to fix this
problem, with tenants there, is going to require going inside also.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-But if they have
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-No, it won't Bob.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-A septic system that's failed and there's septic effluent pumping out onto the
ground, I think that's worse then what we did this summer.
MR. HA TIN, Director of Building & Codes-The problem is right now I can't get on the property because
I've been notified by the tenants and through the brother of the landlord, that I can't go on the property. So,
I can take pictures from the property, I can go by the neighbor's comments to me but I haven't been allowed
on the property unless you want to get a search warrant which we can do and then they can't stop me. We
can certainly go that route too and just see how bad it is.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-I would like to serve the owner but I would like to take action as soon as we
can, in my opinion, I mean
COUNCILMAN BOOR-I think all of us want to do that.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Well, I think we have the authority to do that, is what I'm trying to say to you.
MR. HA TIN, Director of Building & Codes-Can I ask Bob a question and just want to give the board some
direction. Bob, can they do an order tonight to tell the tenants they have 'til Friday to resolve the situation
with a septic hauler or the water will be shut offby Monday.
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-The tenants aren't the liable people.
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-No, but I'mjust saying they're creating, they are creating a
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-The owner is the liable person.
MR. HA TIN, Director of Building & Codes-They are creating a hazard though. They are creating a hazard
though because they're living there.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Well,
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-And they're aware of it.
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-Shutting off the water to a house is
COUNCILMAN BOOR-No, that's bad news, that's like turning the power off in the winter, you just don't
do that those things, they have kids.
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-Well, what are you're options though, what are your options?
COUNCILMAN BOOR-The options are that we find the owner and we deal with the person that is
ultimately responsible for that property.
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-But how do you find somebody that only has an address for
that particular place?
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Well, I think there's ways to find
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-Do they have a mortgage? I mean, I think,
SUPERVISOR BROWER-It's covered by snow now too, right?
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-I think going through with the resolution setting the public hearing and
including the notice being sent to the mortgage holder will also help put pressure because that puts them in
default, frequently under their
SUPERVISOR BROWER-Yea, I'd like to find the, I'd like to notify the owner.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Absolutely, but
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-And we want to do that and I think that
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-If we can find them, that's the question. I've tried for the last
two months. I mean, since November, so.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Dennis, if we find the
SUPERVISOR BROWER-Have you checked the tax records, where the tax bill goes?
MR. HA TIN, Director of Building & Codes-The tax records come back to this property. I've gone through
DMV, I've used my police contacts to see if they can find him through complaints and things and it all
comes back to this address.
UNKNOWN-Who owns the deed?
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-He does.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-I think we try to locate him the best way that we can and tell him he's got two
weeks to get it fixed or we do it. I, because if we wait 'til the 27th, then we're going to have to give him
thirty days to do it, that's two months and you can't have that.
SUPERVISOR BROWER-Yea, you can.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Well, maybe you could live next to it Dennis, I couldn't.
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-Maybe after the public hearing, you could give him a shorter time period for
something like this. I mean, because septic is
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Yea, that's clearly health hazard.
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-I mean sewage flowing outside is a pretty serious
SUPERVISOR BROWER-It's not good, right?
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-health thing.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Right.
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-But you do have to give the best notice that you can to the owner and that is
what this is starting the process of doing, of giving him a notice.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Can we shorten the time?
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-But you're next, you're next meeting is the 27th.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Well, if we set it.
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-If you had a meeting in two weeks, you could do it then but you're not.
Next week, you won't
COUNCILMAN BOOR-If you want to have a special meeting, I'd go for that but.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-No, but what I'm saying is, if we set some kind of a time limit two weeks from
date that we serve this man, to have it repaired then that sets the clock when we get the notice in his hand,
he's got two weeks.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-The notice
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Worse case, it will be the 27th when we have the meeting.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-The notice, the responsible party is the owner and if he doesn't get noticed, and we
go and fix it, he's going to say, I didn't know, you pay for it.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-No, two weeks from the day we give the owner notice, is what I'm saying.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Oh, the owner.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Yea.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Okay. Well, that's fine, I don't have a problem with that. We've got to find the
owner.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Right.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-That's the bottom line.
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-Two weeks from actual service in hand?
COUNCILMAN BREWER-I mean, that's the only way we can do it.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Well, it's
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Well, not the only way but
SUPERVISOR BROWER-Dave, let me ask you this, what would the normal remediation of this problem
be?
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-They fix
SUPERVISOR BROWER-Let's assume you get a hold of the owner, the owner is notified he's got to fix
the problem, what are they going to do this time of year?
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-Well, they could still fix the problem, fixing the problem is not
an issue, getting a hold of the owner and making him do it, is the problem and my concern is, he hasn't
budge since April on this. I warned him back then, if I had one more failure, this was the action I was
going to take.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Did you warn the owner or the tenant?
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-I warned the owner the first time.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Okay.
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-The second time
COUNCILMAN BOOR-And he was at the residence at that point in time?
MR.HA TIN, Director of Building & Codes-From what I understand, he lives in the City of Glens Falls
somewhere. I don't know where, like I said
COUNCILMAN BOOR-He's not in the phonebook, right?
MR.HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-He's not in the phonebook but the property still belongs to him,
this, and I can't speak for this because this came third hand, is that, the woman that lives there is his
girlfriend or x-girlfriend because they had a domestic violence incident there not that long ago. So, he's
living somewhere else and he's not living there, for whatever reason. So, that's what I'm saying, trying to
find him is difficult because he's not using a legal address anywhere else from what I can tell. So, he's
using this as his legal address.
COUNCILMAN TURNER-Dave, is that a pit tank or a septic tank?
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-I don't know, Ted, I was told that it was a seepage pit by
Cook's Septic. Ultimately, the problem you're going to face is if, I can't get a hold of him and we can't get
this fixed, you're going to make a decision whether you want to turn the water off and order the tenants to
vacate the property.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Can we condemn the property?
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-That's what the ultimate result would be, you condenm it and
order them to vacate.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Why don't we, why don't we
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-There will be a process by which you'll be able to tell the tenants that they
can't live there because they've got to have
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Well, I think maybe that's the best way to get a hold of the owner, is that we do a
rapid fire condenmation of the property.
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-Well, that's not the term we use but
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Well, that's why we have you, Bob.
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-Yea, declaring it a public health hazard.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Okay.
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-And that people can't live there until it's fixed.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-I mean, maybe that's the way to get the attention of the owner.
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-And we should be ready for that at your public hearing, I would think.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Right.
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-But I still think what you're suggesting is exactly the way to go, to serve it
on the property, to try to serve it on the Mr. Meader and too, if you can get through to the people who own
the mortgage on the property.
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-I'll have to go up to the county and research that out.
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-And we'll be ready at the next meeting if he's gotten actual service on him,
then you'll be able to act and order him to do it or
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-I know he'll know about it, there's no doubt he'll know about
it, the question is
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Yea, but we have to prove
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-Knowing about it but actual service
COUNCILMAN BOOR-We have to prove he knows it.
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-Well, I've got to prove that he's actually received it, it's going
to be the other issue.
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-And if not, to be ready with, if it's not fixed by then, declaring it
uninhabitable and have to be vacated.
SUPERVISOR BROWER-So, we're going to require him to have it fixed by the next, by the 27th, is that
correct?
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-Well the hearing is to have a meeting with him on the 27th, I
don't know if you're ordering anything tonight other then him to be at a hearing the 27th.
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-That's what we have right here.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-And then what happens if he doesn't show up at the meeting?
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-That he shall immediate commence what I thought that we just decided was,
that if we get actual service on him, then we'll be ready to order him to clean up within two weeks or we'll
go and do it and it gets added, like we do with other health things.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Yea, that be great.
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-Or, alternative, if we don't get actual service on him, to declare it
uninhabitable and to tell the tenants that they have to vacate and to then shut off the water.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-So, it's still going to be five weeks before anything has to be done.
SUPERVISOR BROWER-Well, I think we should make it clear in what ever correspondence to the
property owner as well as the tenant that we expect immediate action so that there won't be any surprises on
the 27th, if that evening we order water to be shut off at the residence so that they'll be prepared to vacate
their property.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Yea, can we do that?
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-What was your, what would you do if you went on the property to fix the
problem? Is the only solution that you see is turning off the water so that it doesn't create any more
sewage?
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-Well, I mean if you want to fix the problem, that means
installing a new system, I don't think the town wants to be in the business installing new systems. So, the
ultimate, the other alternative is to shut the water off and the property's vacated then the problem goes away
until it's, the property is you know, legally occupied with a proper system.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-What wording can we have though, that would put the owner in the position
where he would act immediately. In other words, the water's going to be shut off on the 7th? I mean, I'm
just, I'm picking a date.
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-Well, I think the 27th, you could give him a time frame and
say, if it's not taken care of this week, as of Friday the, February whatever it is, the water will be shut off
and that gives the tenants five days notice and it gives the owner. They either, they know where the owner
is, they won't tell me cause her exact words to me, I'm not telling you. So, obviously she knows where he
IS.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Bob, what ramifications do they have to counter on something like that? What if
the tenants doesn't have a place to go?
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-Well, if it doesn't have working septic system, it's not an inhabitable place.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-I know.
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-AND THEY're not supposed to be there and then, that becomes their
PROBLEM TO FIND ANOTHER place like they found that place.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-It does and it has nothing to do with us.
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-That would be our position, yes.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Well, stated.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-I still think, .. five days... time, hard for me to believe.
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-Do you want to declare the place uninhabitable tonight based on the
information you have and
SUPERVISOR BROWER-I don't think that would be fair, personally.
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-One option you do have is, you could declare it uninhabitable
tonight, give them 'til the 27th to rectify the problem. In the meantime, we'll try to get service on them. If
they don't, then you can take them, action that night, it says by Friday, the water will be turned off, that
gives you three weeks.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-I feel better about that.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Your last observation of the property was when?
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-I was there yesterday.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-And you witnessed a problem, visually?
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-I took pictures, I couldn't get enough, I can't get on the
property to actually see so, I took pictures of the area just so that you'd be familiar with it, if you wanted to
look at. I can't really tell but as I said, the neighbor called me tonight and I can certainly give you his name
if you'd like to talk to him, and told me he smelled it.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-No, I'm just thinking
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-I didn't smell it yesterday when I was there but he did today,
he told me, it was very evident. So, and I have a letter from him by the way.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-I feel stronger about doing it, what Bob just said, give him 'til, or Dave said,
the 27th.
COUNCILMAN STEC-Give him until Friday the 1st, on the 27th.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-If we have to.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Right.
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-It's two weeks from tonight, oh, three weeks.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Three weeks. So, that's why I say, if we wait until the 27th, and then we have
to give him two weeks to get it done, it's still five weeks.
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-Well, can we put something in the notice that says, you have
'til the 27th, there'll be hearing on it, you must be in compliance by that time or the Town Board will take
action to have the property vacated and the water turned off by February 1st?
COUNCILMAN BOOR-And can we do that?
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-Because, I mean this is a pretty serious situation.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Yea.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Absolutely.
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-And we do have the public health officer, you know, talking about that it
needs immediate replacement. I would think that we would, let me work on some language.
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-Okay.
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-And can we come back to this at a later point in the meeting and I'll have
some proposed language to change this?
SUPERVISOR BROWER-Okay, we'll put this aside then for now.
MR. HATIN, Director of Building & Codes-Do you need me to stick around for that?
SUPERVISOR BROWER-We have a motion and a second on the floor, though. So, we would need
COUNCILMAN TURNER-Withdrawal?
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-No, we're just going to postpone action on it.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-So, just so that I'm clear, we're not taking action and we're going to have you draft
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-No, I'm going to, we're still going to do this.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Okay.
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-We're just going to add
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Are we going to do this
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-Some information, an additional resolved and additional part to the public
notice.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-And we will do that later tonight?
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-Yes, that's what I was proposing.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Okay.
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-And I would like to meet with Dave for a few minutes and work on that. Is
that okay?
SUPERVISOR BROWER-Yes.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-And I have one question, I'm going to ask when you guys out or wherever you're
going to meet.
DEPUTY TOWN CLERK BARBER-Should we adjourn Board of Health and come back?
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-Yes, you should adjourn Board of Health.
DEPUTY TOWN CLERK BARBER-We can just leave this number with the introductions?
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-Yes and we'll come back.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-And we'll have to go back into the Board of Health.

REGULAR SESSION
2.0 PUBLIC HEARINGS
PUBLIC HEARING- PROPOSED EXTENSION NO.8 TO CENTRAL QUEENSBURY QUAKER
ROAD SEWER DISTRICT NOTICE SHOWN 7:31 P.M.
COUNSEL JON LAPPER-Good evening, for the record, Jon Lapper with Dave Carr and Kevin Hastings
from the LA Group. Kevin is the project engineer for Home Depot. This is a relatively straight forward
request for a sewer district extension. Northway Plaza is already in the sewer district but because we
acquired the additional five acres in the back to build the Home Depot building, that was not part of the
sewer district. Kevin drew up the Map, Plan and Report, submitted it for view and at that point Ray Supply
asked that they'd be included if we're doing a district extension. The Wal-Mart sewer line goes right in
front of their property. So, we amended our Map, Plan and Report at the request of the town to include
their property as well. Ray Supply will be doing their own connection and Home Depot will be doing it's
own connection and this just puts the entire new Northway Plaza property in the sewer district. Kevin can
go through for the board and the public the exact location of the sewer line.
MR. KEVIN HASTINGS-Of the four parcels that are being included in this Proposed District Extension
No.8, is the Northway Plaza. There's a wetland parcel, a forever vacant parcel, and then the lease parcel
that the building is being built on and also the Ray Supply which is across Route 9. The total acreage is
14.16 acres and of that, Ray Supply is 2.19. So, the bulk of the addition is for the Home Depot's benefit
and as Jon said, the existing collection system within the Northway Plaza will be utilized for the Home
Depot. We're basically extending gravity sewer up to the new store and utilizing the existing gravity sewer
that's within the plaza and Ray Supply, they already have an existing sewer connection that was part of the
Wal-Mart sewer district extension, so, there's no additional costs there. And the last is, the annual benefit
tax resulting from this district extension will be approximately forty-five hundred dollars per year for the
Home Depot and approximately fifteen hundred dollars per year or the Ray Supply.
SUPERVISOR BROWER-Okay, thank you. Further questions from board members?
COUNCILMAN BREWER-I don't have anything.
COUNCILMAN TURNER-No. It just makes sense, it's already there.
SUPERVISOR BROWER-Alright. Thank you very much. Do you have anything else you'd like to add?
COUNSEL LAPPER-No we don't, thank you.
SUPERVISOR BROWER-Thank you. At this time, I'd like to open up the public hearing to anyone who'd
like to comment on the proposed sewer extension. Okay, hearing none, I'll close the public hearing.
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED 7:36 P.M.
(Councilman Boor re-entered meeting)
PUBLIC HEARING - PROPOSED CREATION OF WEST QUEENSBURY SANITARY SEWER
DISTRICT NOTICE SHOWN 7:36 P.M.
SUPERVISOR BROWER-Rich, good evening.
MR. RICH STRAUT -Thank you, my name is Rich Straut from Barton and Loguidice and this proposed
project is for creation of a new sewer district along Main Street and Corinth Road from the City of Glens
Falls city line with the Town of Queensbury west, beyond the Northway to Big Bay Road. (referred to
map) This is being the city line at Thomas Street extending along the south side of the road, there'd be a
ten inch gravity sewer all the way out to Big Bay Road, so it would cross the Northway. Along the way at
some of the cross streets, we'd be extending sewer lines across the highway so that there is service that
would be available on the north side as well and at each property, a sewer lateral would be extended to
service the property whether the property is currently occupied or currently vacant. The boundary of the
proposed district as shown on this map and basically it includes all of the properties along the extension
that front Main Street or the Corinth Road between the city line and Big Bay Road. Th estimated project
cost is one point one million dollars to construct the project, that includes the cost of buy-in to the city
system which is part of an agreement that you've negotiated with the city. We estimate that the cost of debt
service for the project is about three hundred and sixty-two dollars per year for a typical household. On top
of that there would be the cost of three dollars per thousand gallons of water usage, metered water usage
which brings a total estimated cost for a typical household to about five hundred and twelve dollars per
year. Commercial properties would pay a bit higher, it be, this district would be formed on a benefit basis
which means that every property based on acreage and property class would be assigned a certain number
of points and there is a formula that's in the Map, Plan and Report that describes that, it's fairly similar to
the other sewer districts that the town right now has. I think that that about covers it. I'd be happy to
answer questions.
SUPERVISOR BROWER-Any questions from board members at this time? Alright, thank you, Rich. If
you'd put the mic back, I'll ask if anyone would care to comment on the project at this time? So, I'm
opening up the public hearing for anyone that care to comment on this proposed sewer district. Hearing
none, I'll close the public hearing at this time.
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED 7:40 P.M.
PUBLIC HEARING - PROPOSED WATER DISTRICT IMPROVEMENTS ALONG MAIN STREET IN
THE QUEENSBURY CONSOLIDATED WATER DISTRICT NOTICE SHOWN 7:40 P.M.
MR. STRAUT -This is a companion project to the sewer district although there's an existing water district in
this area. What's being proposed is to improve the water line along Main Street. Both of these projects, as
many of you may know are being done in conjunction with the highway reconstruction project in order to
take advantage of some of the construction that's going to be ongoing. The water main that exists along
this area is an old 1930's vintage cast iron water main. This project is essentially proposed to reconstruct
that with a new twelve inch main which would improve some of the pressure problems that have occurred
in the area and take out of service a water main that's reached the end of it's useful life. The other thing that
this would involve is connecting the water, the end of the water main in front of the cemetery to a water
main that right now comes across the Northway but does not connect to that which would again, improve
service in the district. The estimated cost of the project is our hundred and seventy thousand dollars. The
cost to, of this project to a typical household in the district is estimated to be four dollars and thirty-one
cents a year and that assumes that none of the project would be paid for under the highway improvement
and the reason we assume that is because we haven't made a final determination yet as to how much of the
water main would actually be disturbed by the highway improvement. We believe it's going to be around
twenty-five to thirty percent which would bring this cost down to the district, commencer it with that final
percentage. But for the purposes of the Map, Plan and Report, we have not reduced or set that amount at
this point. What I'm talking about with that is that the highway improvement project where they're going to
cut the road down a bit would take some of the cover off your pipe. It's about twenty-five to thirty percent
of the length. The highway improvement project therefore would pay for the cost of replacing the pipe
along that length ad it would not be a cost to the district. And again, happy to take any questions.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Would that be the eastern end?
MR. STRAUT - To be honest with you, I don't recall where the cut was going to occur.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Okay, seemed like it would be the other way but if it's gravity, I don't know,
maybe Ralph knows.
SUPERVISOR BROWER-Further questions from board members at this time?
COUNCILMAN TURNER-No.
SUPERVISOR BROWER-Thank you, Rich. Again, I'd like to open the public hearing and ask anyone
that's present if they'd care to comment on the improvement to the consolidated water district in this area?
Hearing none, I'll close the public hearing.
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED 7:44 P.M.
MR. CHRIS ROUND, Executive Director-Dennis, ifI could, related to both the Main Street projects, we'd
given a Town Board a memorandum regarding interim use of holding tanks on Main Street. We've had a
number of projects on Main Street that are in development or nearly close to construction and it's been
requested by those developers or applicants, is there an alternative to installation of a conventional full cost
septic system. If an applicant comes in today, they would be required to install a conventional onsite
system. In many cases it could be quite expensive to construct a system that's basically going to be
rendered obsolete when this sewer main is constructed and we're hopeful that this construction is going to
occur in 2004. So, within a year and a half, hopefully no longer then a year and a half these things will be
brought on line. Bob Hafner, myself and Mike Shaw worked together to draft, outline some of those issues
that are affected. As the board's aware, a holding tank can only be used i a variance by the Town Board of
Health is issued and only in the instance, they're only allowed in certain circumstances and that would be in
the case of temporary use, failure of a system, or where no other alternative would be allowed or available
in the case of a failed system. So, what we, it's my opinion, I think it's Mike and Bob's opinion as well, that
this is an instance where it would be a temporary use that would probably be preferred by both the town
and the developer in many cases as a cost effective solution, not wasting the resources of the taxpayer. And
what I had presented to you December 18th, was a memorandum outlining these same issues and a draft of
an agreement that we would present to a developer that would bind them in the event that this Main Street
sewer district doesn't come to fruition, it would bind them to seek an alternative connection to the existing
system as it exists on Western Avenue inside the city limits or construct a replacement system onsite that
would comply with ou onsite holding or with our onsite wastewater disposal system regulations. What I'm
looking for is feedback from the board. We have a couple of people in development that are ready to make
financial commitments and do want to construct a conventional system. So, what we're looking for is for
the board to adopt a policy whether it's written or by the consensus of the board that would allow people in
the near future to come in and seek variances, they still would be required to seek a variance from the
Board of Health but you know, the difficulty is, get to the punch line here, is that, in some instances the
developer would like to consume an area that would normally be set aside or used for septic system. We do
have some circumstances where that alternative location is not going to be available and
COUNCILMAN BOOR-So, you run the risk of should some catastrophic thing happen, the project doesn't
go through, you now have a site that is unable to have it's own septic system.
MR. ROUND, Executive Director-Accommodate, what we consider conventional system. What the
agreement tries to do is put the burden, basically, it's an informational tool because we've been, the town's
been criticized in the past that, hey, we've been promised that a system's going to be constructed or
something happens and whether it's been formal or informal and it doesn't come to pass and now, the
property owner's are like, well, I was planning this development, I made business decisions. Well, so it's
number one, it's designed as an informative tool and number two, it's designed to alleviate the town board
and the town itself of any liability associated, you know, in the event the system is not, the Main Street
sewer district system is not constructed.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-So, worse case scenario is, you would have a property that would have a
permanent holding tank instead of a, what we would typically require, a septic system.
MR. ROUND, Executive Director-Well, the developer's agreement indicates that you would have X
number of days to seek an alternative system or at least present a design for either a conventional system or
an alternative means of connection to a municipal system.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Yea, I'mjust saying, okay.
MR. ROUND, Executive Director-So, worse case, Roger, worse case, Cumberland Farms, case in point,
Cumberland Farms has an onsite system right now. If they would come in and they consumed all their land
area and they didn't construct a conventional system, they put a holding tank in, the worse case is, and they
don't have a disposal field area, they have to some how re-mediate their site so that they can put a
conventional system in or be a contract user with the City of Glens Falls and construct a private line down.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-We would never allow for a permanent holding tank?
MR. ROUND, Executive Director-It's not allowed by law.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-I know, I'mjust, I just want to be clear on that.
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-No, and we drafted that very carefully to fit within this allowable thing to,
where you can have holding tanks for temporary periods.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Are these variances that we might, these temporary variances we might grant,
what about adjacent property owners? In other words, we don't allow permanent holding tanks, somebody
goes in with not enough room, now they've got, now because of the, the project doesn't go through, they
have to, let's say they have no, let's say they can't hook up to the city and if they put a conventional septic
system in, it's ten feet from somebody's whatever, yard or less then ten feet from somebody's property line.
In other words, we're guaranteeing
MR. ROUND, Executive Director-No, you're not, and that's where it gets to be a difficult situation. If
there's, if another, if a variance from the standards themselves is required, that's what you're asking about.
Hey, you need a setback variance.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Yes, yea and that's my biggest concern.
MR. ROUND, Executive Director-That's a difficult thing.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-I don't want it to affect another property owner.
MR. ROUND, Executive Director-That's where, we don't know. We're trying to look a little bit ahead and
it's very difficult to look five and ten years ahead if it doesn't happen. I mean, we have every right to
believe that this is going to happen and we're getting closer and closer to it happening, so.
SUPERVISOR BROWER-And what you're saying is the intensity of use requests, correct, for the
properties being considered?
MR. ROUND, Executive Director-Correct, yea. We have four projects on the table right now and they're
all trying to make decisions, well, do we construct a five or ten thousand dollar septic system, do we alter
our design, so.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Alright and these would be done case by case, since they're going before the
Board of the Health?
MR. ROUND, Executive Director-Yes, they would.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-So, if somebody could, if we saw that it could potentially be a variance, we could
say, you know, just can't do it.
MR. ROUND, Executive Director-No, we're not going to allow you to do this.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Alright, alright.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-I think we ought to adopt it as policy for a short period.
MR. ROUND, Executive Director-I'll have something ready for the next meeting. You know, I'll make
sure you have a fresh copy of this in your hands and have something for next meeting.
SUPERVISOR BROWER-I think it's reasonable considering the resources we've already put in the corridor
and the planning that's gone in it over the last several years, it sounds like a reasonable alternative.
MR. ROUND, Executive Director-Thanks.
SUPERVISOR BROWER-Thank you.

COUNCILMAN BREWER-Noted that he's a two year appointment.
MR. TUCKER-Questioned the South Warren Snowmobile Club?
SUPERVISOR BROWER-That was pulled because the officers of the corporation resigned... Spoke about
the problems with insurance for the Club..noted in the year 2002 150,000 snowmobiles that were registered
in 2002.
MR. TUCKER-Questioned if this works out will the Town have a contract with them?
SUPERVISOR BROWER-Yes.
COUNCILMAN STEC-Noted that future contracts will require that they have insurance.
MR. TUCKER-Noted that the activity by the Highway Dept. at the end of Division Road is still continuing,
I want it part of the record so you know.
MS. BARBARA FRENYEA- 248 Queensbury Avenue RE: Sewer Line up Queensbury Avenue, wished
that they had received some kind of warning from the Board or Councilperson, we could not receive mail
since the beginning of the year. After speaking with Mike Shaw the mail did come through...suggested that
the public be notified in situations like this.
SUPERVISOR BROWER-Noted he had spoken with Mike Shaw about the situation and he noted he will
have a meeting with the Contractor.
DEPUTY WASTE WATER SUPT. MIKE SHAW-The intentions are to meet with the contractor tomorrow
and also fliers given out to notified the public of a project.
MR. JOHN SALVADOR-Resident of Lake George, Business interests in No. Qsby. Questioned the cost
related to placing of sewer lines in January... Spoke about the use of holding tanks, residential use only.
Questioned if the Board gave Mr. Lamy any direction regarding the No. Qsby. Sewer District?
SUPERVISOR BROWER-He received some direction but he also is responsible for going through the
process and O'Brien and Gere, supposed to meet with the Town Board regarding the entire No. Qsby.
Sewer in the near future, we have not set a date.
MR. JOHN SAL V ADOR- The Town Board has been advised of some recommended changes to the Zoning

receive it a public hearing will be set.

going up 5 % my tax bill shows a 15.8% increase in library tax, am I the only one? Re: Sewer Dist.
Extension #7 requested that a second look regarding capacities be made...noted he felt that is 35% under
designed. What is going to be the flow rate of the Great Escape? I do not think that you are going to be
able to use the water flow rate as a measure of what their waste water discharge is.
DR. MARK HOFFMAN-32 Fox Hollow Lane Item for tonight a resolution to set a public hearing on
Route 9 Intersection where does that stand?
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ROUND-The public hearing is required to comply with the Capital

contact from DOT allowing us to spend the money. Sear Brown has been selected to look at the 9 and 254
Intersection.. .
MR. MARVIN DOBERT-52 Main Street Question to Chris, questioned what the temporary sewer
meant? Are you anticipating a sewer line and to satisfy developers you had proposed to make some
temporary provision for sewer discharge, a holding tank, in order to allow the commerce to plan. In order
to do this you had to relieve liability or something?
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ROUND-What you said is accurate. Construction in 2004 along with Highway
Project...some may what to redevelop their site prior to system being on line, in order to do that they would
have to install regular septic system. Noted the agreements state that if you have a holding tank you must
put in a conventional system or hook up to a municipal system.
TOWN COUNSEL HAFNER-The Property owner will have to show that they can either put in a
conventional system or hook up to a municipal system.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-There would not be pre-approval of variances?
TOWN BOARD-No
MR. DOBERT-Questioned if both applications would have to be made at the same time?
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ROUND-Not necessarily all the requirements for a permit but some level of
proof that you could install a system.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Questioned what the potential problems could be?
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ROUND-They will have to demonstrate what would be a system that would
satisfy their needs.
COUNCILMAN BOOR-Questioned if we would be looking at the maximum use for a parcel?
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ROUND-No. In the case of the septic, is a system that would comply with the
standard, and the standard is imposed upon the use.
MR. DOBERT-Commended Mr. Round on his communicative skills, thanked the Board for their feedback
on this project, hoped that the project goes through.
MR. DOUG IRISH-Buena Vista Asked the Board to be conscious of providing some provision within this
to make sure that businesses do hook into the system.

8.0 TOWN BOARD DISCUSSIONS
Councilman Boor-No discussion
Councilman Turner-No discussion
Councilman Stec-Would like the consensus of the Board to direct the Comptrollers Office to do whatever
study needs to be done for a discussion and vote before September 1st. on a rebate on County Property
Taxes with some of our surplus. Requested an Executive Session on personnel matter.
Councilman Brewer-No discussion
Supervisor Brower-2002 was a productive year for the Town of Queensbury. We instituted our Capital
Improvement Plan to plan for present, short term and long term goals of the Town. The Department
Managers prioritized projects that came forward from the various department managers, a ranking system
was developed and people that were involved the managers felt that the process was fair, they felt their
project were rated fairly and prioritized properly and the Town Board agreed with that assessment. That
was a major undertaking and a major accomplishment of this board. The fleet committee also met and
made some significant progress. We got vehicles that were listed as vehicles and not vehicles out of the
system we came up with eighty nine vehicles in the towns fleet that includes all highway equipment all
water equipment all sewer equipment all vehicles, eighty nine vehicles. The average age I believe was 8.5
years but in fairness that did include a 1955 fire truck that the highway department includes in heir vehicle
fleet. So, if that was,..Councilman Brewer didn't they take that out... Supervisor Brower-When we did the
evaluation it was in there and I think we have updated that to ...in fairness it may change the average age of
our fleet. We also, the Town was successful in receiving the first low income housing grant ever for the
Town of Queensbury. The first recognition that we have problem areas, or not problem areas but people
that lack the means to provide adequate housing for themselves. It enable, the grant of four hundred
thousand dollars it will enable a number of families to improve their housing conditions, whether it be a
new roof, whether it be improved electrical power, new furnaces whatever it is an important improvement
to the town. At the same time we have extended our sewer planning and operation. We are extending
sewers on Queensbury Avenue, we are planning on sewers for Route 9, the Bay Road Sewer District will
be coming forward and of course, Main Street and Corinth Road will be seered in the near future. That is a
significant step forward for the Town it is going to encourage economic development not only industrial
but also commercial activity in the Town. We have seen new stores the Home Depot for example
proposal come forward and move forward to where we are starting to see light at the end of the tunnel now.
I think that is going to be a significant re-development for a plaza that has seen its better days and hopefully
revitalizing that plaza the Northway Plaza for the future. The Town Cemetery situation has improved I
want to recognize Rod Mosher retirement after over twenty five years of service to the Town of
Queensbury as its Superintendent of Cemeteries. Rod has done an outstanding job at the Cemetery he is a
minister as well and he just has a unique touch. The Cemetery Commission is interviewing new potential
candidates for that position and this week and last week they met and determined who they wanted to
interview. Hopefully a new Superintendent will be coming foward. The Cemetery has provided challenges
to the board over the years the Cemetery has become a fulcrum for change, originally the Cemetery John
Webster sold off what is now the Northway Plaza for One hundred Thousand Dollars and with great
foresight built the old half of Town Hall that still exists without necessitating taxes to the average citizen of
Queensbury. He also purchased more land for development in the future with that income he derived by
selling it to a developer for expansion of a cemetery. This is well before Quaker Road was envisioned
Now or two years ago I think the Cemetery had a operating deficit of two hundred roughly fifty six
thousand dollars. Last year it was around two hundred fifty five thousand dollars and this year with some
changes in the way we hope the Cemetery will be able to operate we hope to keep the deficit to around a
hundred and fifty six thousand dollars. The Cemetery is important to people in the Town of Queensbury it
is also being challenged by the National Cemtery in Saratoga where Veterans can now be buried free of
charge in recognition of their military service and veterans status. Certainly I would not deprive anyone of
that opportunity but certainly it has reduced the demand for some services at our Cemetery and yet I think it
is still a very important venue where the Town is now taking care of about ten or eleven different
Cemeteries in the Town of Queensbury much of which is maintenance keeping them mowed and in good
order. So, I am sure I have missed some highlights of the year 2002 but I do think we have made a number
of accomplishments that are going to be important to the Town in years to come. I want to thank the Town
Board for their time and effort and staff, the managers who without their efforts the Town would not have
progressed to where it is currently. The Town Managers have taken leadership positions and moved
projects within their departments forward. I am very proud of them each and every one of them and I want
to thank them for their goodwork in 2002 and hopefully a renewed effort in 2003 to continue the progress
we are making, I am very pleased and that is all I have to say.
