SUPERVISOR BORGOS opened meeting ...
PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT
7:35 p.m.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-The public hearing will continue on the zoning ordinance amendment
related to Aviation Mall. Just check to be sure, I think the lost time, we left that open. Is
that correct? So we don't need to follow all of our procedures.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-There's also a new public hearing scheduled for tonight as well or a further
public hearing so that one should be formally opened.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Thot's right, we changed the numbers to correct. I'll ask the Clerk
if the further public hearing has been appropriately noted?
TOWN CLERK DOUGHER-Yes it has.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Thonk you. It's been advertised. Now we are open. Anyone may step
forward to soy things for or against or ask questions about, the proposed rezoning. Everything
that was said the lost time, is incorporated in this hearing already. I see no hands from the —
audience. Any Board members with any comments?
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-There's nothing of record, letters that we haven't seen? They've
all come to us, right?
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-To the best of my knowledge everything has gone to the Town Clerk.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Is there something from Rist Frost, some concerns that they hod
for the Planning Board that night?
ATTORNEY DUSEK-gist-Frost did do on advisory letter and it was responded to by Pyramid
in one of their documents.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Yes, that was in that lost packet that they sent to us.
COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-I'd like to hear what Paul suggests.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-1 wont to see if we've got anymore public comment first then we'll
close the hearing and we go into our discussion. Seeing no hands from the general public or
• any more questions from the Board, we'll close this public hearing.
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Now, we'll ask the Boord if you hove any comments to make. We hove
2 prepared resolutions in front of us. First is the required SEQRA finding of no significance
and then the resolution to adopt the omende� zoning ordinance.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-So which one do you want to talk about?
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Let's do the non-significance first. I'll check with our attorney. Would
you prefer to have it that way Paul?
ATTORNEY DUSEK-The non-significance actually sets forth the full ordinance so you may
110c1 2•
wish to comment on the full ordinance first because whatever changes that you might want
to make to that, it'll be applicable to both documents.
SUPERVISOR hORGOS-Whot if we get this on the floor and then discuss it and during that
time we con comment about both items?
ATTORNEY DUSEK-Okoy. Con I just make one further comment so that the Board when they
go through this they'll understand what I did. I gave you 2 extra pieces of paper for everybody
tonight that you did not see at the time, when the resolutions were drafted i hod to put these
together relatively quickly so that you could see at least generally what they would look like
and for the most part, correctly. Then afterwards i went through all of my records to try
to put together these 2 extra documents that you see here. The one document with nothing
on it that starts with number, actually they both have numbers but one has a resolve on it
at the very top. Not that one but the other 2 page document, that one is designed to assist
you in the SEQRA resolution that you ore now about to consider and if you'll notice or if you'll
remember from reviewing it over the weekend at the very end of the SEQRA resolution, the
next to lost resolve clause there's a big blank in there and that is because the Board is required
to state your reasons why you feel that there will not be any negative, or why you feel there
will not be any significant impacts. This listing of items that I drafted were from a review
of the records which I feel might reflect some of the Board's reasoning however you of course
ore free to change this document to make it your own, as well as both of these resolutions
for that matter because they should become your own documents in your own words. There's
obviously certain legal perimeters that we hove to stay within but our certainly be available
as we go along here to help you through that. But basically you should make these words and
these reasons your own.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Okay we need someone to introduce this resolution adopting determination
of non-significance of amendments of zoning ordinance and waive the reading.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-That's the one you want to do first?
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-1 thought we were going to discuss both of them at once?
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Yes, we have to get this one on the floor.
COUNCILMAN MONTES0111 introduce it.
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-Second.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Okoy, introduced and seconded, now we're ready to discuss this which
contains the other resolution also or the some words as the other resolution, all the concepts.
So let's discuss what we've heard in the public hearing, what our outside investigation has shown.
Any Board member may start anywhere.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-A real small technical, is the address by the Pyramid Company,
is it Glens Falls or Queensbury?
BOB STEWAR T-Of Glens Falls is the formal name.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Paul I have a question for you and we keep getting new ones of
these documents so maybe I'm missing something. But I know that when we discussed the actually
definition of the zoning ordinance itself, I question why there was not a definition within that,
of common moll area. The Planning Board also in their minutes questioned that and suggested
it. Dave Kenny mentioned it. I still do not see that in this document at all.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-Two reasons for that. One being the fact that I did not wont to change
anything in this document other than what was discussed at the previous 2 Board meetings,
at /east that was my intention and I hope I haven't. So I did not feel 1 could change that, just
voluntarily.chonge thot. However, I did speak briefly with Bob Stewart and we're prepared
to address that issue tonight and as it turns out it looks like we may be able to not have to
define that because maybe we con just leave out, at least the recommendation for the Board
would be to simply leave out common mall area, those words and up above where it says, the
total floor area designed for attendant occupancy and exclusive use, in parenthesis, it could
be put, including Kiosk in parenthesis and that would seem to specifically address everything.
That way we don't get into terminology that we haven't used in the ordinance.
COUNCILMAN MONA HA N-Okay, Paul you're losing me of what part you wont to change with
all these pages.
Attorney Dusek noted to Councilman Monahan and other Board members the corrections ...
COUNCILMAN K UROSAKA-1 wasn't of the public hearing so I don't know what happened.
I understand you didn't have o very good turn out.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-We were hereabout 3 hours George. There was relatively few people
but it went on forever.
COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-Long session but not many people.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-1 apologize for this but we really didn't get this tied down until just today,
otherwise I would have given you a separate call on that as well.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Paul, someplace in here we had to change this gross floor area,
if I remember right.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-Yes that was in ...
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-I mean maximum density, is that going to stay 12,000 square feet
of gross floor area per acre?
ATTORNEY DUSEK-Yes.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-All right then the change is going to come, wasn't that port of
the readvertising? Okay, the change apparently is under VII or 2 little i's, I don't know if you
call them VII, 1 do.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-It says under this, the required number of off-street parking?
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Yes, is that the only place that that square footage is going to
change because I thought it hod to be changed in another area?
ATTORNEY DUSEK-1 think the, originally the gross leasable area hod been referred to in the
maximum density clause under roman numeral 2, very early on in that resolution.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Yes but it seems to me that we were in a problem there with that
12,000 square foot.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-We did have originally there, 12,000 square, it simply was 12,000 square
feet gross, I think at one point it was even gross leasable floor ...
MR. STE WAR T-Gross leasable floor area.
COUNCILMAN MONA HA N-Under the maximum density or are you under the car part?
ATTORNEY DUSEK-Maximum density and we did 2 things there. We took out the leasable —
part of it and we also put in per acre because the 12,000 didn't make any sense the way it was
before.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Okay, no that's what I remember and I was trying to make sure
that it got corrected.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-As I'm looking at that maximum density clause too, if you'll notice it
says, on additional 500 square feet of land area will be required.for each 150 gross floor leasable
area, once again that leasable should be stricken there. It's still cropping up on us. That was
in that maximum density clause.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-1 would like to indicate for the record that we did hold the original
public hearing, we've now held this further hearing and in addition we've received many communications
in person, over the telephone and through the mail, related to this proposed rezoning. i know
I personally hove and I think other members of the Board hove carefully, considered what's
being done here. We recognize the fact that some soil will be moved and the shape of the
land will change a bit. I recognize that hopefully many cars will drive to the newly expanded
moll and that according to the engineering predictions supported by DOT, New York State
DOT, there may be a lessening of the level of service at one particular location during one
• very small period of time occasionally. I personally don't see that as o major problem. I would
like to think we're going to be drawing in hundreds or thousands of cars from out of the area
but realistically I don't think so. 1 think realistically what we're doing with this expanded area
because of the designation, we have to be careful to separate our desire to have the project
here and the topic that we're actually considering, the rezoning, I think what we're going to
be doing is preventing of people from driving from this area south. That is keeping the business
local. That is, not to soy anything bad obou0preos to the south of us but realistically if we
can,hove more opportunity for better shopping here, I personally think that's o good idea.
So I think that impact from the SEQRA point of view, that economic impact is good. 1 think
the extra 200 jobs good. I think the extra soles tax revenue is good. I'm not concerned about
the possibility of o slight increase in the noise level because I don't think it's going to be o
negative type thing. Sometimes if there's no noise at all and we hear a bird sing, then there's
a noise there and 1 really don't think that this is going to be much greater the background noise
that we already have. 1 think the location is ideal for this particular type of expansion in new
area. It's not opening up a new section of Town to new traffic that it hasn't had before, it's
all there already. I'm pleased that the applicant for one of the first times ever of any applicant,
brought in a dery complete package the first time in. That has cut down o great deal on our
questioning. Usually we have to say, what are the perk tests? When ore you going to do the
traffic studies? When ore you going to do this? When are you going to do.that? It come into
us all done already. That dramatically reduced our work. it resolved slot of the questions
and it made us soy this applicant has done it's homework before it came to us. This applicant
is ready to spend millions of dollars based on the homework it has done. It would seen foolish
if someone just come in and started from scratch and hadn't done that. So 1 personally am
very pleased with the proposal. I think we've learned through the public hearing session that
perhaps we should be looking at other areas of Town for commercial area changes. Perhaps
in particular we should be looking of 9 foot wide parking spaces throughout'the Town for commercial
locations. It seems very reasonable. We've heard experts in all areas of concern soy that that's
the good thing and no one has refuted that number in any of our hearings. So that's positive.
I hove reviewed with the Fire Chief of the local fire deportment, the fact that he has met
with the applicant and I've reviewed the water deportment, water and sewer department, the
fact that they've met with the applicant and that they're able to handle whatever development
would come up under this newly expanded category. So if there should be another 100,000
square feet or more, this can be taken core of by current Town services. No major expense
on the base of the Town. I've heard one or two people talk about the widening of the bridge
on Aviation Rood over the Northwoy and I just happen to be vice chairman of the regional
traffic committee and I've assured those people that widening the bridge has been in the works
for many years. The State is planning to widen the bridge. I would hate to guess when based.
on the fiscal crunch but the widening of the bridge has been necessarily for some period of
time and in my opinion, is not created by Aviation Mall expansion or the creation of this new
zone. Therefore again, I see no adverse impact in terms of the economics for individual tax
payers. I personally think its o good idea and we should move forward with it.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-I would like to ask the moll a question and I asked this when it
first started and that is that work was going to be done during the normal work day and I asked
you to define what o normal work day is because I know what some construction companies
consider a normal work day and because of the people around this I think they need o commitment
of what hours they con expect this work to be done during. I did not see that in your reply.
If its there and I missed it, 1'opologi ze.
LOU CAGLIANO, Aviation Mall-Betty you made that comment at the lost meeting. I called
Dave Hotin and asked him if the Town had any regulations or ordinances regarding times of
days when you could do construction. He indicated that the Town has no specific ordinance
however they fall back on either ... requirements or what I guess is standard operating procedure
in the area. He suggested i contact a gentleman named Chet South which I did do and he indicated
that standard operating procedure in the Town of Queensbury has been 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-I'm afraid we're going to hove a few neighbors that ore going to
be a little unhappy with those kind of hours.
MR. CAGLIANO-Again if there ore problems that arise during construction, I mean we will
address those. Those are the hours that we're planning on. If there are any problems that
arise, I'm sure we can deal with those.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-I would gother that the only impact on the neighbors if there's on
extended period would be the removal of fill. Initially that part is what would transpire off
the site if you will, I mean when the trucks ore hauling fill. Other than that, everything else
is pretty much contained right within the site there.
MR. CAGLIANO-That's correct and the majority of the construction is:on the western portion
of the site and away from any residential areas.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-1 make the comment because grovel beds around here hove been
the subject of many, many phone calls when the hours that they work hove been extremely
long.
w
MR. STEWART-My only comment and I hove represented some clients who were upset grovel
bed, so I've seen both sides, is gravel beds ore continuing on going operation, week after week,
year after year. Here, you're talking about a relatively short intense building period of which
time it's over and done with, which is I think quite a bit different than just knowing that you're
going to have to put up with noise for the next 15 or 20 years.
1
SUPERVISOR BOR COS-Any other comments by any member of the Board?
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-I don't think that we hove adequately addressed some of the comments
at the lost meeting and that was by some of the owners who have said they were going to be
adversely effected economically. One was another shopping moll who felt that this mall was
getting some privileges that they don't have and I realize Steve you're going to soy that they
can come in of any time and request this. I'm saying what the low is and that's what's important
and I am rather concerned about that. I really feel frankly the Town would have been doing
it's job much more correctly hod we amended the shopping plaza area and hod on enclosed
standard or,plaza commercial I should soy and hod o subheading for the enclosed shopping moll.
I'm a little concerned that we are, as I said, making a decision that is going to effect one moll
and I go back to what Bob Stewart said right during the Planning Board meeting when he talked
about o detriment to other areas, that it become o spot zone and to the detriment of the surrounding
neighbors. We do have neighbors, another moll and another property owner who said that this
at the way that's done at present, not giving them the some benefits, is going to be a detriment
to them and I think this is something we do have to consider.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Let me respond first with my opinion of what you talked about, what
you mentioned, spot zoning. I think we adequately addressed the concern for spot zoning at
our lost meeting and that our Town Attorney very clearly and specifically indicated very carefully
that this is not spot zoning because of the size, because of al/ the other considerations from
the legal perspective and I'll ride with his decision on that because he's the one who obviously
will hove to go to court if it goes that way. In regard to the other people, I would soy again
what l said the last time. Another competitor has come in and charged discrimination in that
we're not rezoning their property. They haven't asked for it. If they haven't asked for it, there's
no way we can possibly imagine who in this Town would want it.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Steve, that is not true. We ore making rules for one specific applicant.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-No, well ...
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Yes we ore.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-The applicant came in but just as though, just as my property was
changed from 3 acre zoning to 10 acre zoning and this Board has now denied me the right to
further subdivide my property and the people across the street are still at 1 acre in the some
neighborhood, I'm saying that's the way it is and hod I wonted to protest at that time, I could
have come in and protest it and I said, no, that's fine. Now if the other molls want to come
in as some hove done and soy we want narrower parking spaces, fine, let them come forward,
we'll give them the some careful review, the some close look at all the statistics, all the facts
and figures and perhaps we'll decide to change the rules. In fact I believe it's been proposed
already that that porticular firm send us a letter and request that the parking regulations and
any other regulations be changed. It's been 2 weeks now, I've received no such letter so apparently
so there's no great interest out there. I think it's time for us to say we've had a project come
to us with a new requirement that's been brought to our attention. We've looked long and careful
at it. It's time to move. I can imagine that sometime in the next year or 5 years or 20 years,
we'll see 4 or 5 or 10 or 100 other projects and we may need some new zoning for those other
people. We sow something o few months ago in West Glens Falls on Corinth Road. We.were
asked to rezone on area to light industrial but the neighbors there didn't wont light industrial
with botch plants and they didn't wont something else, so we went through and changed and
in that particular case, light industrial throughout the whole Town to get rid of botch plants
and sand and gravel extraction. Each case is a little bit different. We try to respond as best
we con to the public concern and what is best for this community. I think so for what's been
done is correct. I think it would be a tragedy if we did not respond in this way, to permit this
development at this location. I think the long range impact on a negative side would be extremely
detrimental to this community if we don't move forward in the direction we're going. Any
further comments from the Board members before we vote? 'Okay, we've hod our discussion,
I'll ask our Attorney if there's any other fine tuning he would like to see in this?
ATTORNEY DUSEK-1 think that the only question that would be before the Board in addition
to the main port of the resolution would be that extra handout and whether or not there's anything
in there that you want inserted.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-1 looked through. I think we've covered most unless you see one thing
in particular you would like us to include. You should know that the Zoning Board of Appeals
and the Planning Board routinely work from a list of things that they incorporate into their
findings and we typically do also. So just for the record it would be wise sometimes to add
things. I think we've o€idressed most if not ali of these.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-Well this would be ... on the negative declaration...
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-What you're saying is that this second handout that says Polkowitz
up on the top?
ATTORNEY DUSEK-Polkowitz?
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-That's not Polkowitz, that's Paul's notes.
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-Ron, the other one.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-This one that says Paul's notes, is what you wont us to use as a
L�
justification for ...
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-No the other one.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-No. The problem is that if you note in your negative declaration form,
at the very end there's on open paragraph and it says, resolved that pursuant to section 617. 15
the annexed negative declaration is hereby completed to state the reasons that support the
SEQRA determination and that's what I'm asking you to do. To state your reasons and what
I hove put together for you is that if this is acceptable, this 2 page outline that sets forth the
reasons and I picked this up from o review of the record believing that this might be what
the Board thinks is the case. However I don't want to be the one who actually says this, I would
like you to read it to make sure you're happy with what I've suggested.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-1 would like to incorporate this into this motion. I don't know, will
it have to be introduced and seconded again or how do you want to do this?
ATTORNEY DUSEK-It would hove to be amended then to include this.
SUPERVISOR BORCOS-1 would like to amend the motion to include this. I've read it through
very carefully. I thought I have in the last few minutes, try to dictate for the record a number
of the items here plus some additional items. But I would move to incorporate this in.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-1 set the motion so I would accept this amendment.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Which one ore you doing?
SUPERVISOR BORG OS-This is the 2 page report.
COUNCILMAN M0NTESI-This is the 2 page report thot s tor ts with, the proposed action and
involved agency approvals, including authorization for the sole of Town of Queensbury and
ends with a sentence saying, the Town of Queensbury finds that there will be no significant
impacts as a result of undertaking the action proposed.
A T TOR NE Y D USEK-Yes.
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-Councilman Montesi, where are you going to insert that?
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-The resolution of non-significant. Whot page.is it Poul?
ATTORNEY D USEK-It's the next to the lost page, the page just before where i t soys, duly
adopted.
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-No its part of the resolution Ron, that's the point I'm trying to make.
The port that goes into part of the resolution, the second to the lost page.
SUPERVISOR BOR COS-Okay.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-Right.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-It also will appear on that form on the end, I believe.
TOWN CLERK DOUGHER-Mrs. Potenzo, you agree to that then?
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-Yes.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Okay, we've had an amendment mode, do we hove to vote, we've got
the amended motion on the floor, we haven't voted on anything yet. Okay, we're ready to
vote:

with respect to compliance with SEQRA which requires environmental review of certain actions
undertaken by local governments, and

on the project from the Pyramid Company of Glens Falls and comments relative to the project

hearings prior-to consideration of the SEQRA Resolution,
NOW, 'THEREFORE BE IT
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury, after considering the action
proposed herein, and a// components there to previously described, including the sale of certain
property by the Town, considering all comments and observations made by government agencies
and other interested parties and citizens, reviewing the Environmental Assessment Form, reviewing
all materials and documents submitted by the Pyramid Company of Glens Falls, including,
but not limited to, the Traffic Impact Study, Drainage Report, Soils Report and response to
comments by the LA Croup, reviewing the criteria contained in Section 617. 11, and thoroughly
analyzing the project with respect to the potential environmental concerns, determines that
it has sufficient information and determines that the action, as currently proposed, will not
have a significant effect on the environment, and
BE IT FURTHER
RESOLVED, that the Town Supervisor is hereby authorized and directed to complete and execute
Port 111 of the said Environmental Assessment Form and to check the box thereon indicating
that the proposed action will not result in any significant adverse impacts, and
BE IT FURTHER
RESOLVED, that, pursuant to Section 617. 15, the annexed Negative Declaration is hereby
completed to state the reasons that support this SEQRA determination as follows:
1. The proposed action and involved agency approvals, including authorization
for the sale of Town of Queensbury land have fairly predictable impacts as it is known that
the proposed action and approvals will essentially result in an expansion of an existing enclosed
shopping mall. As a result, the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury is of the opinion, based
on all the documentation and comments received, that it has sufficient information to make
determinations required under SEQRA and that the impacts will be minimal and not significant.
2. Traffic,and drainage concerns hove been addressed by the Pyramid Company
of Glens Falls and the Town finds that the information and reports submitted persuasive in
terms of establishing that there will be no significant impacts.
3. Noise levels are not expected to be any different than they are currently,
with the exception of some temporary construction noise.
4. Soils and permeability will not be significantly impacted and soils in the area
seem capable of supporting the type of.development proposed.
i
5. Other site specific issues such as parking, fire access, solid waste are persuasively
addressed and mitigations proposed as necessary, in a report entitled, "Response Report for
Review Comments of the Town of Queensbury", doted November, 1990, and developed by the
L.A. Group.
6. The sole of the Town of Queensbury property constitutes the sale of surplus
property and is generally located between existing business development and is curently looted
in the commercial zone, which zone is currently serviced by municipal sewers and water and
all available information would indicate that there would be no significant impacts under SEQRA.
7. The reasons supporting the Town of Queensbury determination in this case,
are further supported by a review of al/ documentation and comments submitted, and after
taking a hard look, the Town of Queensbury finds that there will be no significant impacts
as a result of undertaking the action proposed.
and,
BE IT FURTHER
RESOLVED, that the annexed Negative Declaration, as completed, is hereby approved and
the Town Attorney is hereby authorized and directed to file the some in accordance with the
provisions of the general regulations of the Department of Environmental Conservation.
Duly adopted this 17th day of December, 1990, by the following vote:
Ayes: Mrs. Potenza, Mr. Montesi, Mr. Borgos
Noes: Mrs. Monahan
Absent: None
Abstain Mr. Kurosako
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN - No and for the record I would like to state my reasons and I hote
to do this to the Pyramid Mall because i think its a good project but I don't feel that we as
a Board are approaching this correctly. One, I think that it is a site specific. I think that
it can be a detriment to the other shopping malls that are playing under a different set of
rules. Secondly, I will go to their impact statement where it says the impacts from this project
will be positive which will be true as for as they are concerned but it may hove a very negative
impact on some of the dther malls in this Town therefore I do not say, I con not give this a
negative dec because I can't agree with a// the statements that ore in here.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS - I would say yes, a very strong yes and I would like to add that not
only do I think this won't adversely impact the other malls, I think it will be beneficial to them.
Not just a person driving by but some of you have to know that I taught courses for over 20
years and a good share of that specifically was retailing,retail monagement, marketing and
one of the interesting parts, one of the interesting phenomena of retail I guess is that the more
you hove the more it begets others and the more it helps others:
COUNCILMAN MONA HA N-Steve, I completely agree with you. I hove people in that some
kind of business circumstance who tell me that the four filling station on the corner increases
their volume and I would completely agree with you if they were all playing with the some
set of rules. My objection is because we are not doing this in the proper sequence so that every
mall here is playing with the some set of rules and that's my problem. We're asking one person
to play the boll game with one set of rules and we're giving another person the some ball game
with a different set of rules.
SUPERVISOR BOR COS-We obviously disagree and I don't-think we'll resolve it tonight.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-That's right.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Okay; we have a componion resolution, that is the resolution to amend
the zoning ordinance which sets forth the changes that we've been discussing here and we've
just declared to be of no significance.
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-1111 introduce it and waive the reading,
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-I'll second it.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Introduced and seconded, any further discussion.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-Yes. First thing / would like to bring to the Board's attention is thot
since the ordinance was amended in the negative declaration, it would also hove to be onended
here to match and I think the Clerk con probably do that for you. The second thing is tos
is where that second handout comes in. This is what I would recommend to the Board'fq your
consideration is the first resolve clause after all the whereas clauses now, so it would cone
right there in the middle and that is once again only if that is something the Board feels{t
agrees with or if it wants to change it, it's more than welcome to change it.
SUPERVISOR BORCOS-Once again, / think you've done a nice job. Wemayfindowordir
two that we would want to change, we'll take a look. Paul where do you wont to put this exactly?
ATTORNEY DUSEK-Right after the, now therefore be it, the third page in. What this does
is that, before I hod just set forth the ordinance in your typical legal language and I felt it
would be important to state some reasoning behind why your doing what your doing and that's
why that's been proposed to you.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Okoy, so your saying even though this other really says it also, you
want each document to carry it's own weight.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-Right, one is primarily dedicated to SEQRA and the environment whereas
this document is dedicated towards your legislative enactment.
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-1111 accept the changes and add it to the third page after the lost
whereas clause. The page that starts,, resolved that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury
finds as follows and numerates 1,2,3,4,5, and ends, the Town insofar as it's assessed valuation
and utilization of municipal water and sewers in that area of Town.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-I'll second it.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Any discussion? V e're ready to vote.
