MR. TRAVER-Let me welcome everyone to the Town of Queensbury Planning Board meeting for Tuesday,
th
September 17. Hard to believe it’s September already. This is our first meeting for the month of
September and it is meeting number 18 for 2019. I want to let Board members know that following our
regular agenda this evening we have a brief training that Laura is going to provide us of about 10 minutes
or so on Workplace Violence. We have two administrative items. One is, you should have before you a
draft resolution that I wrote, that I wanted to discuss with the Board. This would make a change in the
way the agenda is established. We currently have, as you know, classifications for tabled items, Planning
Board recommendations and New Business and what I’m asking the Board to consider is a change in that
agenda to add a category for Unapproved Development. This I think would help identify that category of
application. It would help, you know, there’ve been a few instances where you see something on the
agenda and it isn’t necessarily clear. I think it will call, perhaps, some attention to the issue and I have a
draft resolution. Does anyone have any comments on that suggestion before we entertain a resolution?
MR. MAGOWAN-I would just like to say I like that idea.
MR. TRAVER-Okay.
MR. MAGOWAN-It brings more attention to it. So we have a better understanding at the beginning.
MR. TRAVER-Yes. Any other comments? All right. Then I have a draft resolution.
RESOLUTION APPROVING NEW AGENDA CLASS FOR UNAPPROVED DEVELOPMENT
The Planning Board has previously identified applications which contain unapproved development.
The Planning Board wishes to identify, in advance, those applications which may contain unapproved
development.
The meeting agenda for Planning Board meetings has historically been divided into sections which
categorize applications into at least three categories, those being Tabled Items, Planning Board
Recommendations and New Business.
The Planning Board believes it would be useful to create a similar category specifically for unapproved
development and therefore directs that the formal agenda for Planning Board meetings be expanded to
subdivide a section of the agenda into applications which fall into the category of unapproved
development effective with the meetings beginning in October of 2019.
MOTION TO APPROVE CHANGE TO EXPAND THE MEETING AGENDA CATAGORIES, Introduced by David
Deeb who moved for its adoption.
Seconded by Brad Magowan. Duly adopted this 17th day of September, 2019, by the following vote:

RICHARD JONES & BRENT STEENBURGH, REPRESENTING APPLICANT, PRESENT
MRS. MOORE-So just as a reminder this project has three projects involved. A 28 unit independent living
addition, a memory care unit separately, and then a wellness center to also be constructed within the
building and the applicant has met, or not met but has had discussions with the Town Engineer and has
submitted a revised set of plans for this Board to review and during that time they review it for the
upcoming agenda in October, it’ll go back to the Town Engineer. My understanding is that there’s details
to be worked out.
MR. TRAVER-So in anticipation of the Board needing time to review the application and also comments
from Town Engineer, we will be tabling this application tonight, but if you have anything that you would
like to address the Board regarding the revised plans, please do so and state your names for the record
for our minutes.
MR. JONES-Yes. For the record Richard Jones. I’m the architect working with The Glen at Hiland
Meadows, and with me here is Brent Steenburgh, the professional engineer for the project, the Civil
Engineer.
MR. TRAVER-Good evening.
MR. JONES-Basically as Laura had indicated we have addressed the comments from the Fire Marshal. We
did get comments from the Water Department. I’m not sure if they.
MR. STEENBURGH-They were addressed as well.
MR. JONES-Yes, they were addressed, but I’m not sure, were they responded to?
MRS. MOORE-I have not heard from Mr. Harrington yet. So we’ll follow up.
MR. JONES-Okay. Yes, and with regard to the engineering review for the Town, we’re down to nine
comments, seven, I’m sorry, I stand corrected. So we have seven comments left and basically over the
last two weeks Brent has had a series of discussions with both the Town Engineer and Craig Brown, the
Zoning Administrator, and basically we think at this point we’ve got everything worked out. There was
additional site testing done approximately two weeks ago. The engineer had requested that we do some
tests which were done on site, basically to indicate the permeability of the site which is sketchy at best.
So those have been completed and I know Brent has worked out the SWPPP now so that we’ve addressed
the concerns for the Town Engineer. As I stated at the last meeting, the approval for the project is very
important to The Glen because they have to submit their plan to the State Department to get an approval
for the Offering Plan and they cannot start marketing units until they have that.
MR. TRAVER-Sure.
MR. JONES-So right now I believe that our original schedule had indicated an approval no later than
October so we’re hoping at this point that at the October meeting, and I’m hoping we can get on the first
meeting for that agenda.
MRS. MOORE-The first or the second. We had discussed the second one, but if there is a preference for
thnd
the first one which is October 15 versus October 22 .
MR. JONES-I guess when will the Town Engineer get the revised information that we submitted?
MRS. MOORE-This week. So you submitted it yesterday. It’ll go to them this week.
4
(Queensbury Planning Board 09/17/2019)
MR. JONES-Okay. So we can anticipate something probably shortly within a week after that?
MRS. MOORE-Within a week potentially. Now that it’s in the queue, it’s already being reviewed, this is
just part of the process versus not a new application. So that it should have a different turnaround time.
MR. JONES-Okay. All right.
thnd
MR. TRAVER-So having the option of the 15 or the 22, is there a significant difference for you between
the two?
th
MR. STEENBURGH-I would prefer the 15 if possible just from a timeframe standpoint for the applicant.
th
MR. TRAVER-Will that work agenda wise, Laura, the 15?
MRS. MOORE-Yes,
MR. TRAVER-Okay. Well we actually, you know, our process as we began with working out issues with
the engineer typically tends to expedite these type of applications. So this will presumably with
everything from the engineering standpoint, I know we’ve looked at the plans quite extensively, and the
updated information will be distributed by Staff tonight and we’ll certainly be prepared to review and
th
discuss that with you then on the 15.
MR. JONES-Yes. The only real issues left, there are no planning issues right now from Laura and the
Planning Department. So it’s basically just the engineering review from Chazen that we’re waiting for.
MR. TRAVER-Yes. I mean I guess the only caveat is, and it doesn’t sound like it’s going to be an issue, that
occasionally engineering will result in changes that impact the plan. It doesn’t sound like that will happen
in this case, but that’s why it isn’t over until it’s over.
MR. JONES-Yes, and I realize that.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. Then do Board members have any questions or comments for the applicant before
we do a tabling motion? All right. Then I guess we’re ready for a motion.
MS. GAGLIARDI-And you’re still leaving the public hearing open?
MR. TRAVER-Yes, thank you for that. Yes, there is a public hearing. I should do that before we actually
entertain the motion. My apologies. We do have a public hearing on this application. Is there anyone
that wanted to address the Planning Board this evening on this? I’m not seeing any hands. Are there any
written comments, Laura?
PUBLIC HEARING OPEN
MRS. MOORE-There are no written comments at this time.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. All right. Because we’re tabling, the public hearing, just for the information of the
public, the public hearing will remain open and be available the next time this application is reviewed on
th
the 15 of October. Thank you, Maria. So with that, we have a tabling motion.
RESOLUTION TABLING SP # 44-2019 & FWW 4-2019 THE GLEN AT HILAND MEADOWS

JOE DIDIO, PRESENT
MR. TRAVER-Laura?
MRS. MOORE-So this applicant proposes a 174 square foot single story addition over an existing deck and
under the main floor deck. The existing deck, only a portion of that deck is being used. The existing home
has a 1,096 square foot footprint. The new footprint would be 1,270. The existing floor area is 2,096
square feet. That is at 28% and the new floor area would be 2,230 square feet, which is at 30%. The
variance relief requested is for setbacks, Floor Area Ratio and expansion of a non-conforming structure in
a CEA.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you. Good evening.
MR. DIDIO-Good evening. I’m Joe Didio. I own the property. We were here in the spring if you recall,
I’m sure you probably don’t, but we originally submitted to the Board for a second story addition.
Required Area Variances for yard setbacks, height, gross floor area. The proposed addition was, the
increase in square footage of the house was 565 square feet. The ZBA was opposed to the project as
previously submitted for the height variance. it seemed excessive, and the Floor Area was too excessive
for the allowable by lot size. So taking this Board’s recommendation actually we have the minutes from
the spring, we have devised these plans, instead of going up over our second, over our living room/dining
room, out from the bedroom area we’re down now expanding slightly a basement area out to the side
about two feet, two and a half feet. I can’t remember, but anyway, going from 565 square feet to 174
additional square feet. You can see from the attached drawing we’re going out over the existing deck so
we’re not increasing the footprint. There’s no height variance needed because we’re not going up any
longer. The only variance that we need for setback is due to there’s an overhang, a cantilever. We’re
coming out underneath that and a stairway that runs underneath that cantilever tends to flop outside.
So I guess that brings us closer to our neighbor’s lot, empty lot.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you for that introduction. Questions, comments from members of the Planning
Board?
6
(Queensbury Planning Board 09/17/2019)
MR. DEEB-You scaled it back.
MR. DIDIO-Yes, way back. I have the minutes. I think Mr. Hunsinger asked couldn’t we do it lower, closer
to the lake because we are setback so far and we have all that so that’s what we did. Lost some living
space, but we’re getting the bedrooms that we need.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. And again, the applicant this evening is here for the variances which is the setbacks,
Floor Area Ratio, and expansion of a non-conforming structure in a CEA. So we’re making a
recommendation to the ZBA. Does anyone have any comments or questions for the applicant or
comments regarding referral to the ZBA?
MR. MAGOWAN-Yes, I do, Mr. Chairman. I read on the back of the on-site engineering letter, and it said
that the, attached you’ll find two copies of the wastewater treatment system. I didn’t get them. Did
anybody else get them?
MR. DIDIO-The wastewater treatment system is up by 9L. It’s on the other side of the house. It’s a brand
new Clare system that we just had installed this spring/summer.
MR. MAGOWAN-Okay.
MR. DIDIO-It’s been inspected and operational for, you know, six months, I don’t know, eight months. It’s
a new Clare system as suggested by the Town and again we received a grant from the Town to assist us in
paying for that.
MR. MAGOWAN-Good, but I mean it’s up to 450 gallons per day?
MR. DIDIO-I’m not sure of that.
MR. MAGOWAN-Well I think that’s what the 450 gpd means.
MR. DIDIO-Okay.
MR. MAGOWAN-The gpd is gallons per day I think.
MR. DIDIO-None of that, I mean we’re staying at three bedrooms. So it’s not like we’re, and that’s what
it’s rated for I guess. Again my son is the engineer, the environmental scientist who’s at another meeting
this evening and he will be with me hopefully.
MR. DEEB-You’re not increasing bedrooms.
MR. DIDIO-No.
MR. DEEB-The bedrooms are the say as they were before.
MR. DIDIO-Yes, exact same bedrooms.
MR. MAGOWAN-You’re just moving them down lower.
MR. DIDIO-Yes, moving them down lower. We have no basement. We have no garage. So one very,
very small bedroom is becoming a storage space.
MR. TRAVER-Anything else?
MR. MAGOWAN-No thank you.
MR. TRAVER-Any other questions or comments before we entertain a motion?
MR. MAGOWAN-The other thing I’d like to say, Mr. Chairman, is reviewing the pictures and in looking at
that puppy, it’s come a long ways for a rock. You’ve done a nice job and your letter really explained you’re
trying to do all you can. I do like the sprinkler system in this picture there, but it really looks like you’ve
tried a lot to secure from there down to the lake. So I want to thank you for all those pictures.
MR. TRAVER-Any other discussion before we entertain a motion? I guess we’re ready for a motion.

TOM HUTCHINS & MATT CIFONE, REPRESENTING APPLICANT, PRESENT
MR. TRAVER-Laura?
MRS. MOORE-Okay. So this applicant proposes to maintain their existing 1,480 square foot home and
then add three new additions. This includes a new deck of 144 square feet, a screened porch of 143.75,
an entry porch of 84 square feet, and then enlarge the dormer on the second floor. The main component
of this project is that there’s a new basement, new foundation being installed for the home.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you. Good evening.

(Queensbury Planning Board 09/17/2019)
MR. HUTCHINS-Good evening, Board. Tom Hutchins of Hutchins Engineering with builder Matt Cifone.
We’re here on behalf of George & Christine Hearst at 244 Lake Parkway. They have a 1920’s era camp
on this property that they wish to improve. They wish to keep the structure but they’re going to
essentially completely renovate the interior, construct a new foundation beneath the structure and
there’s a couple of porches and screened in areas and a deck that would be in addition to the floor area,
in addition to the basement area which now counts as floor area. The reason we’re here is because
although the building is 51 and a half feet from the shoreline, the property to the north is 80 feet from
the shoreline which puts them, which makes their average setback 65 feet instead of 51. Somewhat
uniquely the applicant also owns the property to the north which is, because of that distance from the
lake, is what presents him with a structure that is not compliant because his other house is 80 feet from
the lake. So in theory he could build a 30 foot deck on his house to the north and then he wouldn’t have
to ask for a variance, or not really in theory. He could do that, but that’s not what they propose to do.
So we’re seeking your support with a variance request to the Zoning Board of Appeals, to maintain the
structure at 51 and a half feet from the lake in lieu of the calculated 65 foot setback.
MR. TRAVER-Okay.
MR. HUTCHINS-And we’ll open that for questions. Anything you want to add?
MR. TRAVER-Questions from members of the Board?
MR. MAGOWAN-You’re basically just raising the house.
MR. HUTCHINS-Correct, constructing a foundation.
MR. MAGOWAN-Have you got a house lifter or are you going to do it?
MR. CIFONE-We’re going to have somebody lift the house up, yes, a company.
MR. MAGOWAN-You as Cifone?
MR. CIFONE-No, Larmon.
MR. MAGOWAN-Larmon. I was going to say, because I did it once. You don’t want to do it. It was
interesting. Let’s put it that way. So basically from what I understand you’re just going to lift it there
and then you’re going to add on some porches.
MR. HUTCHINS-Correct. And the project also includes a new compliant wastewater system.
MR. MAGOWAN-I’m happy to hear that.
MR. TRAVER-So you’re literally going to jack up the house, work underneath and then lower it back down
again, basically.
MR. CIFONE-Yes.
MR. TRAVER-A few years ago I read an interesting article about a company that moves like really, really
giant structures and pieces of equipment and their motto is if we can get it loose we can move it. I
thought that was pretty amazing. It’s quite something.
MR. MAGOWAN-This Larmon company it’s amazing. They come in and the next thing you know it’s up.
Do they do the digging or do you do the digging?
MR. CIFONE-Chris Crandall is going to do it.
MR. MAGOWAN-Okay. Yes, they usually they just come and they eye beam it across and it’s all
computerized. They have a truck and it’s up.
MR. TRAVER-Yes, it’s amazing.
MR. HUNSINGER-Well let us know when you’re going to do it.
MR. TRAVER-Yes, we’d all like to watch. Wow.
9
(Queensbury Planning Board 09/17/2019)
MR. DEEB-It’s the numbers. You have to acquiesce to the numbers and that’s what you’re doing. You’re
not moving it at all. It’s the same distance.
MR. TRAVER-Yes, it’s purely a setback issue. So do any members of the Board have any concerns
regarding the referral to the ZBA for the setback issue?
MR. HUNSINGER-Well, let me ask the question, though. I mean if you’re going to jack the house up, how
hard would it be to move it, though?
MR. DEEB-You’re talking probably 16 feet.
MR. HUTCHINS-I mean it would be additional work to re-locate it.
MR. TRAVER-A lot of extra work probably.
MR. HUTCHINS-Yes.
MR. CIFONE-It would change the integrity of the property, the way it’s always been. That’s one big thing
he’s trying to preserve. He could take it down and build a new place, but he wants to preserve the
structure of the house.
MR. HUNSINGER-It seemed like an obvious question to ask.
MR. TRAVER-Yes. Interesting. It probably could be done but it would probably be double the
undertaking.
MR. MAGOWAN-Yes, it’s one thing jacking it up in the air and leaving and then lowering it back down on
the foundation and getting it up and then building the foundation and then moving it back.
MR. TRAVER-And then what do you do with the old foundation.
MR. MAGOWAN-It’s all piers.
MR. HUTCHINS-It’s on piers, yes.
MR. HUNSINGER-We used to live across the street from a house that they moved for a flood control
project. They moved it, it was a couple of miles, and when we’d tell people in town where we lived they’d
say by the house that was moved. We thought it was recently, but it was 30 years ago. It was so
memorable.
MR. TRAVER-Yes. Well especially then what a thing it was. I saw and have a documentary about the
creation of Sacandaga Lake and that shows pictures of a lot of buildings being moved. Back in those days
in the 30’s it was really something. All right. Any other questions or concerns regarding the referral to
the ZBA on this variance for setbacks? I’m not hearing any. So I guess we’re ready for a motion.

ETHAN HALL, REPRESENTING APPLICANT, PRESENT
MR. TRAVER-Laura?
MRS. MOORE-This project involves a 1,749 square foot footprint addition to an under-construction
building project of 33,800 square feet. The addition will be constructed between the two buildings
proposed at the front to connect the buildings for the purpose of installing one elevator. This project was
previously approved in 2017 where there were two I guess long buildings with no connection. They were
each proposed to have an elevator and this way this resolves the issue and costs less money.
MR. TRAVER-Sure. Okay. So the buildings that were previously approved are still being built. You just
want to make an addition that would allow them to be joined together.
MR. HALL-Correct. For your records Ethan Hall. I’m a principal with Rucinski-Hall Architecture, here
tonight representing Boguslaw Bielecki. Yes, basically once he got the bill for the elevator and once he
saw what the bill for the two elevators was going to be he said, wow, I can build one elevator and a
building between them for less money than the two elevators combined. So that’s really where we’re at,
and it gives him the ability to conjoin the two office buildings in the front. If somebody wants more than
what’s available in that one floor he can connect them through and let them use more than one. Once
we got laying the building out, I mean when we initially looked at it he was considering phasing the project,
doing one of the buildings first and then once that was up and running building the other building. When
he got to looking at the site work and the price of the building he said I’m going to buy them both and get
them both under construction, which they are, footings and foundations have been started, and then he
got the bill for the elevators and he said I’m not buying those because there are two elevators, the two
rear buildings, the back, the two rear buildings in the back also have freight elevators in them because
those were looked at for manufacturing. So instead of buying four elevators he’s going to buy three
elevators. So that’s really where we’re at with. Fairly minor change but it does trigger.
MR. TRAVER-Well we appreciate your coming to discuss it with us.
11
(Queensbury Planning Board 09/17/2019)
MR. HALL-Certainly.
MR. TRAVER-Questions, comments for the applicant?
MR. MAGOWAN-Ethan, just a quick question on the elevators. Is a freight elevator a lot cheaper than a
human elevator?
MR. HALL-It is because there’s not as much creature comforts in them so to speak.
MR. MAGOWAN-All right.
MR. HALL-It’s more or less of a steel box that moves up and down and you don’t care how much you
thrash around in it.
MR. MAGOWAN-All right, but it still has its safety factors.
MR. HALL-Yes, but it doesn’t have the Formica finishes. It doesn’t have the carpet in it. It doesn’t have
the tiles or the lights, you know, the high intensity LED’s. They’re, compared to a personnel elevator
that’s going, it’s considered four stops because you’ve got the ground floor and two above. So it’s
considered a four stop elevator where the other one is only a two stop elevator. It’s a little more
expensive.
MR. TRAVER-More doors and all that stuff.
MR. HALL-More doors and more operating mechanisms. Like I said, once we got pricing for elevators,
let’s do one.
MR. MAGOWAN-I have to say, though, you know before with the two separate buildings I liked the
courtyard effect and everything, but I really think having it tied in together would look nicer aesthetically
and also work more functionally for him with the tenants and everything.
MR. HALL-I think it’s going to work out well for the tenants.
MR. DIXON-I think it’s a very attractive solution.
MR. HALL-Thank you.
MR. HUNSINGER-Has he identified any tenants?
MR. HALL-He’s working on a couple of them but he doesn’t have anything solid yet. He’s got to get, the
actual, the pre-engineered metal buildings, two big pieces, two high bay pieces, he’s already purchased
them and they’re sitting on site waiting to get everything finished. So we’re kind of a on a roll with this
thing. As soon as we get this, hopefully get approval tonight, he can continue on down the road. It’s his
intent to get those two pieces up and use that as his staging areas to build the rest of the buildings. Get
something under cover and dry this fall and hopefully get the rest of it on the way.
MR. TRAVER-All right. It seems very straightforward to me. Are there any other questions before we
entertain a motion? This is a SEQR Type II. There is a public hearing on this application. Is there anyone
in the audience? Mr. Durlacher, would you like to comment on this application?
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED
GLENN DURLACHER
MR. DURLACHER-I don’t like elevators.
MR. TRAVER-Do you have any written comments?
MRS. MOORE-There are no written comments for this project.
MR. TRAVER-All right. Then we’ll close the public hearing.

GLENN DURLACHER, PRESENT
MR. TRAVER-Laura?
MRS. MOORE-This project is for the applicant to use a portion of the existing Great Escape barn for storage
and work area. The building is 1,250 square feet and he’s proposing to use 748 square feet and the Fire
Marshal and the Building and Code Director have communicated with Glenn and there are some things
that he needs to address in reference to being Code compliant and he’s aware of those items as far as I
know. If not he’s going to continue talking with them, but this is, originally we allowed the applicant to
use this for storage and now the applicant proposes to do some work in there.
MR. TRAVER-Okay.
MRS. MOORE-And just as a note, and I did not realize this. It’ll probably be brought up, but apparently
when this electronic copy was given to us it was scanned in backwards and I apologize for that because
when I saw it it was correct. It was the other way around because I saw the hard copy before it was
copied. So I’m not quite sure why that happened, but I apologize for not catching that.
MR. TRAVER-In my office we have some copy machines where when you make a copy you put the print
down and we have one bigger one which also does everything else that you have to put it in right side up
and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve e-mailed myself blank pages. So I know how that works. Good
evening.
MR. DURLACHER-Good evening. So I’m here to see if I can.
MR. TRAVER-Start by stating your name for the record if you don’t mind.
MR. DURLACHER-Yes. I’m Glenn Durlacher.
MR. TRAVER-And so you are expanding.
MR. DURLACHER-Yes.
MR. TRAVER-Congratulations.
MR. DURLACHER-Thank you.
MR. TRAVER-I must say personally I go by your site periodically and your artwork is really quite amazing.
MR. DURLACHER-Thank you.
MR. TRAVER-Yes, congratulations on all that. So you are just expanding the amount of space you have to
use space basically like an indoor workshop?
MR. DURLACHER-Yes.
MR. TRAVER-As Laura mentioned there are some outstanding issues I guess with the Fire Marshal or
whatever that need to be resolved. Do you feel comfortable you can address those concerns?
14
(Queensbury Planning Board 09/17/2019)
MR. DURLACHER-Yes, well I’ve talked to Dave Hatin and he talked to Mike the Fire Marshal to see exactly
what we need to do and I’m going to do the, it just basically requires a non bondable heating system and
an exhaust like a dust collection, a fire extinguisher.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. Yes, dust can be explosive.
MR. DURLACHER-Yes. So a fire extinguisher and I have to raise the entry level by an inch. So it’s nothing
outlandish.
MR. DEEB-Is it expensive?
MR. DURLACHER-Not really. I mean it probably totally costs around $500. So I’m renting from The Great
Escape and I told them I’m going to take care of it. So I think they’re fine with it.
MR. DEEB-Have you priced it?
MR. DURLACHER-I’ve priced it. Yes, no, I’m taking care of the expenses.
MR. DEEB-You don’t want any surprises.
MR. DURLACHER-Yes. It has to be semi reasonable.
MR. MAGOWAN-So are you predicting a colder winter, Glenn? Can you be our Farmer’s Almanac and tell
us what’s going on this winter? I’m going to be shocked to not see you outside in your coveralls.
MR. DURLACHER-What I’ve been telling people is that, mainly with rain, if you give me $50 I’ll stop it from
raining, and for $100 you get the deluxe dance. So anyway, this would just make life a lot easier.
MR. MAGOWAN-It seems like a nice location for you. I hope to come out of Round Pond Road all the
time. I live right around the corner. It’s always nice to see you and I like the flow of people always there,
some eating the ice cream. So I hope they don’t dribble anything on your woodwork.
MR. DURLACHER-I have a golden retriever and when they come over with the ice cream I tell them that
he won’t bite you if you give us ice cream, but his tail is wagging. So he’s not very helpful for me.
MR. MAGOWAN-But I’m glad it’s worked out well for you. At Great Escape they haven’t really done much
with the old zoo. Wasn’t it Animal Land? Animal Land.
MR. DURLACHER-Yes, Animal Land.
MR. MAGOWAN-I mean I remember hearing the animals back there.
MR. DURLACHER-Actually the adult children now of the original owner came by about like a month ago
and were telling me about where things were and it was quite interesting. Like there used to be a coy
pond out back. They kind of dammed it.
MR. TRAVER-And there was a bear pit out there. Pau, Jr. was a friend of mine when I was a kid. We used
to, when we had nothing better to do our parents would basically confine us to Animal Land for the day.
So we would hang out and watch the pig races and feed the geese. That was a lot of fun. It’s interesting
because Paul Lecarre, Sr., when my parents had parties at our house on Pine Point, whenever he came by
he would always bring an exotic animal. Always. It was usually like an Ocelot or sometimes it would be
like an owl or a snake or something like that, but I remember that as a kid just sitting on the floor being
amazed at this guy that would come in and bring these wild animals. It was really neat. He was neat
guy.
MR. DURLACHER-So that was the owner then.
MR. TRAVER-Yes. That was Paul, Sr., and then Paul, Jr. may be the person that stopped by to visit with
you, was my age. We went to school together.
MR. DURLACHER-These, the woman and fellow that stopped by, they’re probably in their late 40’s I’d say.
15
(Queensbury Planning Board 09/17/2019)
MR. TRAVER-Okay. No, not my age. I’m much younger than that. Anyway. I digress. So we have a
public hearing with no public. So we’ll open the public hearing. Laura, are there any written comments?
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED
MRS. MOORE-There are no written comments.
MR. TRAVER-All right. Then we’ll close the public hearing.
