and as more specifically set forth and described in the Map, Plan and Report.
3. The existing Town of Queensbury municipal sanitary sewer along Luzerne Road
extends from City of Glens Falls (hereinafter the “City”) owned property at the northwest corner of
Veterans and Luzerne Roads, easterly to the City boundary. The sewer connects to the City
municipal sanitary sewer system just east of the City line on Luzerne Road. New sanitary sewer to
be constructed to serve this proposed Sewer District Extension will be 10” PVC along Luzerne
Road and 8” PVC along the proposed Main Street Connector Road in accordance with Queensbury
Wastewater Standards and “Ten State” Standards. The 10” sewer will extend west along Luzerne
Road from the existing manhole to the southwesterly corner of Luzerne Road and the new
Connector Road wherein an 8” PVC sewer will extend approximately 400’ south to serve potential
commercial development along the Connector Road. The sewer along Luzerne Road will be
installed at minimum grade to facilitate future sewer extension to the west. Plans and details for this
new connection are shown on the Map, Plan and Report. Flows from this proposed Extension will
be transported and discharged to the City of Glens Falls Wastewater Treatment Plant which has the
3
capacity to provide the Town of Queensbury with the capacity necessary for this Sewer District
Extension.
4. The cost of installation of sewer laterals shall be the responsibility of the property
owners. Legal, engineering and construction costs to form the Sewer District Extension are to be
paid by the property owners and/or grant funding for this purpose and members of the Sewer
District will not be responsible for these costs. 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 amount proposed to be expended to form the Sewer District Extension is
approximately $220,000 which would be borne by the property owners. This estimate includes the
capital cost of construction, as well as the one-time buy-in fee for capacity at the Glens Falls
Sewage Treatment Facility (calculated at $1.00/gallon of average daily flow to be paid by district
members when they join the district) in the following amounts:
A.$150 for the West Glens Falls EMS;
B.$8,800 for the Schermerhorn housing complex;
C.$5946.60 for commercial development along the Connector Road; and
D.$1,760 for the Laconia Realty Parcel.
The current operation and maintenance use fee in the district is $3.50 per 1,000 gallons of metered
water usage. The property within the Extension will be taxed and/or assessed user fees for the
operation and maintenance charges required for the entire district. All user fees and taxes will be
based upon the same formulas as are presently used in the Queensbury Technical Park Sewer
District.
6. The capital cost of the project will be totally financed and paid for by the property
owners and/or grant funding and therefore, there will be no financing cost or tax increase in the
4
existing Technical Park Sewer District. The operation and maintenance cost for the properties in
the proposed Sewer District Extension are estimated to be:
WGF EMS$191.63
A. – 150 gpd x (365 days/year/1000) x $3.50 =
Schermerhorn housing complex
B. – 8,800 gpd x (365 days/year/1000) x $3.50 =
$11,242
Commercial development (3 parcels)
C. – 5,946.6 gpd x (365 days/year/1000) x $3.50 =
$7,596.78
Laconia Realty$2,248.40
D. – 1,760 gpd x (365 days/year/1000) x $3.50 =
There are no residential properties in Extension No. 6. Therefore, typical costs for residential
properties of varying assessments are not required.
7. All future expenses of the Queensbury Technical Park 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 and area involved and a
detailed explanation of the fees and costs 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
th
Center, 742 Bay Road, Queensbury at 7:00 p.m., on Monday, April 16, 2007 to consider the Sewer
District Extension and to hear all persons interested in the proposal and to take such other and
