Duly adopted this 9th day of March, 1992, by the following vote: AYES Mr. Caimano, Mr. Tucker, Mrs. Monahan, Mr. Brandt NOES None ABSENT: Mrs. Goetz Discussion held before vote: Attorney Dusek-Mr. Smith from National Church Residences questioned who would construct the road on this portion of the land conveyed by the State? He noted that he could not use their funds to construct anything off site... Councilman Monahan-There has been differences of opinion about that...Attorney Dusek recommended two changes to the resolution after Mrs. Monahan's name to say on behalf of the Town Supervisor on page 1 last WHEREAS CLAUSE after the word Manor Drive, the parcel to be developed does not directly adjoin Fox Farm Road... WORKSHOP Town Clerk spoke to the Town Board regarding the possibility of having a Farmers Market at the Tyrer Galleries on Glenwood Avenue, one day a week during the summer...noted that this does fall under the Transient Merchant Market Law...it was the decision of the Town Board that the Clerk would contact Code Publishers and request copies of other Transient Merchant Laws in New York State in the hopes of revising our Local Law, as soon as these are received a workshop will be held... PINE VIEW CEMETERY PRESENTATION-Pre sent-Mrs. Peggy Prime and Mr. Bob Edwards-of the Cemetery Commission- Mrs. Prime, spoke to the Board in regard to the establishment of the Commission noting that it was formed through an act of the State Legislature and is the only commission like it in the State of New York...reviewed with the Board the financial status of the retort...when the crematory was purchased the funds were taken from the perpetual care funds, with the idea that the crematory would generate funds and replace the perpetual care fund, noted that not all funds have been paid back, requested that a schedule of payments be established such as a 10 year pay back at $35,000 profit from the Crematorium...this would replenish the fund for both the crematory and the new retort... Supervisor Brandt- Questioned if the perpetual care fund could be used to expand the cemetery? Mr. Edwards-technically speaking if there is an adequate perpetual care fund the income that it would derive in theory would take care of basically the operation of the cemetery...Councilman Monahan-all those cemetery monies have been invaded over the years...funds going into the general fund.. put the second retort right in with the first money that was used to purchase the crematorium and then use the profits for the crematory to pay the cemetery commission perpetual care fund... Supervisor Brandt-I will speak to the bookkeeper and set something up ....Councilman Monahan-I want to thank the Cemetery Commission for the excellent service they are giving this town. DISCUSSION RE-V AL - Supervisor Brandt-Set up Workshop on Wednesday March 12, 1992 regarding assessments...noted he had been called by several people that are upset about the town not doing a Re- Val...questioned Mrs. Otte, can we or can we not do a re-val this year? Mrs. Otte-reviewed the procedure with the Town Board ...spoke to Equalization and Assessment to see if Queensbury could be re-instated on the schedule for assistance with a State re-imbursable revaluation program, they said yes... regarding the printing of the mailers no one there to answer when they could be done...spoke to one contractor regard field reviews they felt that it could still be done...spoke to E. 1. regarding the financing of this project to spread over '92/'93...noted that there is in the Governor's budget there is a proposal for a $5.00 reimbursement to towns that will do a reval in 1992-93 or 94 those having met other stipulations earlier, in otherwords an '87 reval which we meet....I had told you $3.00 which is certain the $5.00 is proposed...my recommendation as of this date is for a reval...I am concerned over the time schedule, we have to act soon..my recommendation still remains that we do the 1993 revaluation according to the project as it was outlined and distributed to you... Supervisor Brandt-If that decision was made do you feel you have enough time to do it and do a decent quality? Mrs. Otte-I will do a decent quality job, we will have to use the resources that we will need to turn out the number of parcels that are required to be completed for this town wide project but it will be a quality project. DISCUSSION-Re: Queensbury Factory Outlet-Mr. Shaw Director of Wastewater... discovered sewer mains on Queensbury Factory Outlet Property and we do not have an easement for these mains...two alternatives, to get an easements for these mains or turn the two pieces of sewer mains over to the property owner...noted that there is a proposed building to be placed within 5 feet of the main, this is not allowed .... regarding the easement the Board requested that Bank Street deed be reviewed to see if this pipe is laid in the street easement... DISCUSSION-Attorney Dusek, spoke to the Board regarding SEQRA and when they should be done...there is not a direct legal rule that says you have to do them before you set the public hearings however there is sufficient authority to say you should always do them as soon as you can and if you can do them before you set the public hearing you should...in the case of rezonings if you are going to go through a rezoning or legislative action where you feel that you are going to deny an action the SEQRA regulations actually say that you do not have to do SEQRA up front...the bad part of that is if you do decide that you are going to entertain it at that point you have to go back and do SEQRA and you may have to do some of the steps that you previously did in terms of notifications to people and it might delay the project. ...I would recommend that you do as much of the SEQRA process up front as you can and if you can do the whole thing up front you do it because your SEQRA, EIS and all that other stuff that comes later would corrolate very nicely with the public hearing that you have to hold on Town Law, whereas if you did not do that you would hold one public hearing on Town Law and another on SEQRA...Councilman Monahan-questioned doing the negative declaration before the public hearing, mentioned the information that came out of the public hearing on the Girard property was not known ahead of time by the Board...Attorney Dusek-noted that the Town Board has the right after a public hearing to rescind the negative declaration... Supervisor Brandt-There is some logic of doing this up front in that you state to the public what your opinion is of the environmental impact and if you think the environmental impact is relatively negative from the information you have and people in the public know information that you don't have, it is going to encourage them to bring it forth... Councilman Monahan-If a negative dec. is done, it has to be stated very completely to everyone that this negative dec. may be rescinded because of information that comes out. Board requested that Mr. Dusek give a memo on this to the Board... DISCUSSION-McDonald Subdivision-(Southern Exposure)-36 lot subdivision carry over from 1981....undersized 10ts...Attorney Dusek suggested that the Planning Board be notified that they have something that is not conforming with what the laws were that they approved...I did find legal authority that would allow them to rescind their previous subdivision approval if they felt it was warranted, if they did that then they could ask that the map be pulled as well and make this thing get corrected... Councilman Monahan-Have any of the lots been sold? Councilman Tucker-None...Councilman Monahan-There is no reason that he could not redraw that subdivision and make it legal to what the Zoning Board allowed instead of having undersized lots, that is what he ought to have to do. Councilman Tucker-The way it was set up the minutes would show, the building dept. was instructed not to issue any building permits for the undersize lots in that subdivision, that he was allowed to sell the conforming lots.... Agreed to by the Board to send this back to the Planning Board... DISCUSSION-Councilman Monahan-spoke to the Board regarding problems in Ward I. 1. Possible Board Health Issue-Pickle Hill-Mr. Harris, neighbors feel that there is garbage being brought in to feed the pigs and as a result of that they are getting a population of sea gulls up there and the neighbors are concerned about dropping on their lawn for children and etc. are going to be... 2. Upper Bay Road Stranahan Lumber Mill was...he is doing a chipping process from bark...bark being brought in, chipper being worked early in the morning and numerous days.. . neighbors concerned if they will be able to sit outdoors. .. also concerned over the large pile of material is there danger of spontaneous combustion... Supervisor Brandt-noted from personal experience that, that process has been going on for some time...Councilman Monahan-noted another concern was the tractor trailers missing the turn and having to back up on the road...3. Received a letter from Carol Martindale re: farm produce..noted that I do not make zoning decisions... Supervisor Brandt -asked if anyone from the public had questions... Mr. John Salvadore-Re: Pine View Cemetery-were referendums held on those? Supervisor Brandt-The 1940's that is all I can tell you. Mr. John Salvadore-The fact that the Town is going to get into this area of business I believe by Town Law... Attorney Dusek-It was by separate, like the Town Law was passed by the State Legislature this is how we got Town Law that is how we got the cemetery, it was passed by the State Legislature it was not done on the local level... Supervisor Brandt-It is the only one in the State... Mr. Salvadore-What about the other cemeteries? Councilman Monahan-Isn't also Town Law that the Town is obligated to take over abandon cemeteries, historical cemeteries? Attorney Dusek-Under Town Law you have separate provisions, right...it is not just the cemetery that the commission is tied to it is the commission itself that is set up it is called the cemetery commission and I am not quite sure how they inherited the cemeteries of the town but I presume that is part of their duties... Mr. Salvadore-It seems like a classic case of circumventing town law, they went to the State they got a commission and you got the problem. Supervisor Brandt-The auditors criticize us severely because you cannot hold funds in large quantities while you tax people ... they criticize and then they walk away... Mr. Salvadore-Questioned the status of their landfill presentation... Supervisor Brandt-Noted that he was going to bring that up at a County Board Meeting...
