Notes from Staff, Subdivision No. 14-1998 - Preliminary and Final, Rose Prototo Brandt, Meeting
Date: January 26, 1999 “Description of Project The applicant proposes to subdivide an 86.9 acre
parcel into two lots of 6.0 acres and 80.9 acres. The applicant’s project was previously reviewed by
the Planning Board for Sketch Plan stage. Staff Notes The applicant has complied with the
subdivision requirements for the Preliminary and Final Phase. The applicant has requested waivers
from the preliminary application, see attached. Staff would recommend that the waivers be granted
as part of the preliminary resolution. Provided the certified mail receipts are received Staff has no
additional comments.”
MRS. MOORE-And we did receive certified mail receipts.
MR. MAC EWAN-As far as your request for the waivers, is this what you got, they just took the
Preliminary plan requirements and put whether they wanted a waiver next to them? Nothing more
formal than that?
1
(Queensbury Planning Board Meeting 1/26/99)
MRS. MOORE-No. I assisted in that.
MR. MAC EWAN-You assisted in that. I mean, just how do we know that we can document this
that it came from them? It’s not signed or anything, for the files.
MRS. MOORE-So you want them to sign it?
MR. MAC EWAN-Before they leave.
MRS. MOORE-Okay.
MR. MAC EWAN-Good evening.
MR. KELLY-Good evening. This is the applicant, Rose Prototo Brandt, and I’m Robert E. Kelly,
her attorney, and we would ask the Board to grant the waivers as indicated. We did have one
question. We know there’s another $500 fee, recreation fee, due upon signing of the mylar. We
would like some guidance as to when we might expect the mylar to be signed or released.
MR. MAC EWAN-The mylar would be signed as soon as you get it to the Planning Department, if
it’s approved by the Planning Board. So anytime you got the mylar prepared and up there with
whatever conditions that are on the approval, if we approve this tonight. It’s up to you how soon
you get it there.
MR. KELLY-Okay. Thank you.
MR. MAC EWAN-Is that it?
MR. KELLY-Again, we’d just ask that the application be granted.
MR. MAC EWAN-I think everything was pretty well covered last month. No outstanding issues.
The only thing I think we really had outstanding was this waiver issue. Is that not correct?
MRS. MOORE-Yes.
MR. MAC EWAN-Any questions?
MR. PALING-No questions. I noticed that there’s a new note on there from the engineer. I think
that clarified the arithmetic, where there was question. Should you mark on there that that’s a
revision to the original print, and put a date on it?
MR. MAC EWAN-Yes, we’ll do that.
MR. PALING-So you can differentiate between that and the original. That’s the only question I
had.
MR. MAC EWAN-Okay. Does Staff have anything? I’ll entertain a motion, if someone will put one
up.
MRS. MOORE-You need to do SEQRA.
MR. MAC EWAN-We did SEQRA last time, didn’t we?
MRS. MOORE-No.
MR. MAC EWAN-No, we did not, pardon.
MR. SCHACHNER-We don’t think so.
MR. MAC EWAN-You’re probably correct, then. Go ahead, lets do SEQRA first.
MR. SCHACHNER-I hate to interrupt.
MR. MAC EWAN-You’re right. I caught it. We need to open up a public hearing.
MR. SCHACHNER-Well, aside from your public hearing issue, which is also true, as Bob Vollaro is
pointing out, I think Cathy’s reading from a Short Form EAF, and I think the applicant’s prepared a
Long Form EAF.
2
(Queensbury Planning Board Meeting 1/26/99)
MR. MAC EWAN-Okay.
MR. SCHACHNER-But you also have a public hearing issue.
MR. MAC EWAN-All right. We’ll get it squared away. Does anyone want to comment regarding
this application?
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED
NO COMMENT
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
MR. MAC EWAN-We’ll close the public hearing. Now lets do our SEQRA.

MATT STEVES & JOE LEUCI, PRESENT
MRS. LA BOMBARD-And the public hearing on the 27 of October and the 24 of November,
thth
1998, those public hearings were tabled.
STAFF INPUT
Notes from Staff, Site Plan No. 55-98, Joseph Leuci, Meeting Date: January 26, 1999 “Description
of Project The applicant proposes to construct a used automobile sales, service and repair building.
The application was tabled at the October 22 Planning Board meeting. Auto sales, service and
nd
repair require site plan review in the HC-1A zone. Staff Notes The Planning Board requested the
applicant provide an updated drawing demonstrating the existing and proposed landscaping and an
architectural rendition of the proposed structure. Clarification was requested of the type of drain
used in the service center, who is responsible for maintaining the dry wells, and the term “flat ditch”.
The Board also requested the Stormwater Management Plan be corrected concerning permeable
surfaces. The applicant has submitted an updated drawing addressing landscaping and building type.
Staff would encourage landscaping around the immediate perimeter of the building. Staff would
recommend that a provision in the resolution stipulate that display of vehicles will occur only on the
gravel or paved surface, there is to be no display of vehicles on any green area. Nace Engineering
was informed that clarification was needed for the stormwater and drainage issues of the site. The
applicant has submitted an architectural view of the building and floor plan. The drawing indicates a
block building with enough space to accommodate display and service area. The Board may wish to
include in the resolution if any expansion of auto use, including but not limited to, service of
5
(Queensbury Planning Board Meeting 1/26/99)
vehicles other than for sale or autobody work on any vehicles that site plan review will be required.
The applicant should submit an updated drawing that represents type, size, location, and schedule of
new plantings. The updated plan should include the existing plantings as shown on revised drawing
December 29, 1998, and the existing plantings surrounding the existing building. This drawing
should include all the Planning Board recommendations, if any. Staff has no additional comments.”
MR. MAC EWAN-Would you read in the Nace letter of January 24?
th
MRS. MOORE-Okay. “In response to your letter of January 4, I offer the following: 1. The
th
owner has not yet decided if he will install a floor drain in the service repair bay. I have advised him
that, if he does install a drain, it must empty into a holding tank for disposal at the sewage treatment
plant or, if he discharges it into a drywell or other infiltration device, it will require a SPDES
Industrial Waste Discharge Permit. 2. The existing drywells located on Mr. Passarelli’s property
along Round Pond Road were installed at the request of the Warren County Highway Dept., when
the property was originally subdivided. At that time Round Pond Road was considerably lower than
it is now, and there was a significant amount of stormwater runoff from along State Rt. 9 which
flowed into the low spot where the drywells are located. Since the State has re-routed this drainage
and Round Pond Road has been raised, there is no longer any need for these drywells. The small
amount of natural drainage which reaches this low spot can naturally infiltrate without any possibility
of flooding Round Pond Road. Therefore these drywells could be abandoned. 3. In the context
used, “flat ditch” means that the grade along the ditch line is flat enough that water flows slowly
enough to allow infiltration into the sandy soils native to the site. Therefore the ditch acts as a
natural infiltration device. 4. The Stormwater Management Report has been modified to indicate
that the existing gravel surfaces are considered to be impermeable. A copy of the revised page 1 of
the report is attached.”
MR. MAC EWAN-Is that it?
MRS. MOORE-The County.
MR. MAC EWAN-The County, and Beautification.
MRS. MOORE-And Beautification. The County, I’ll just read the Staff Notes. “Copy of a cover
letter from Nace Engineering is included with the summaries along with a revised site plan prepared
by Nace Engineering. Also, copies of the full storm water management plan are forwarded to John
McGilvray and Bill Remington for their review and comment at the meeting. It appears that the
applicant, through the Nace Engineering letter, has responded to the items identified by the County
in their previous denial without prejudice. Staff is recommending discussion pending input on the
storm water management plan by the County Highway Engineer. County Planning Board
Recommendation: Approved based on the drawings provided to the Board and verbal input from
Matt Steves, project representative present at meeting, clarifying storm water issues.” Beautification
Committee comments, “Joseph Leuci and Matt Steves present. Suggest low clustering plantings on
northeast and southeast corners of area shown as grass on plan. Plantings around existing building
stay. Dumpster, enclosed as shown on plan.” That’s it.
MR. MAC EWAN-When was that meeting?
MRS. MOORE-Which meeting?
MR. MAC EWAN-The Beautification meeting.
MR. RINGER-1/11.
MRS. MOORE-1/11/99.
MR. MAC EWAN-Is that it?
MRS. MOORE-Yes.
MR. MAC EWAN-Good evening.
MR. STEVES-Good evening. My name is Matt Steves, and I represent Joseph Leuci on this
application. As stated by the Staff, we went back to the County Planning Board with the updated
plans, and identified the stormwater concerns that were brought up by this Board and also by that
Board via Tom Nace and they have no problems with that. Beautification as also stated by the Staff,
we will incorporate the plantings on the corners of the front of the building facing Route 9, on the
corners there where it shows grass areas. I didn’t include those on this plan at this time, in case there
were any other modifications or additions by this Board, we’ll incorporate those all at one time.
Tom Nace regrets that he couldn’t be here, but he’s home with the flu.
6
(Queensbury Planning Board Meeting 1/26/99)
MR. MAC EWAN-I guess the number one concern is Paragraph One of the letter.
MR. STEVES-Okay. The owner, as far as Tom Nace’s letter?
MR. MAC EWAN-Yes.
MR. STEVES-Okay. The owner has decided to put in the drain, the floor drain, and we will be
putting in the tank, the holding tank, to dispose of it, the sewage treatment plant. We will not be
going into a drywell. Therefore, we will not require a SPDES Industrial Waste Permit. We’ll
contain it inside the building and then pump it out and bring it down to the wastewater facility.
MR. MAC EWAN-Okay. So it’s basically going to be a holding tank?
MR. STEVES-Yes. It’s just a drain with a tank, that’s correct.
MR. MAC EWAN-Okay. Do we need supporting engineering for that?
MRS. MOORE-I’m not sure about that. I just know that when I spoke with Dave Hatin, that he
was requesting information on the type of drain that was being installed. So I think as long as in the
final submission of plans, that that’s addressed, then I think that should be sufficient. If Dave needs
more than that, then he’ll request it.
MR. MAC EWAN-They will at time of building, okay.
MR. STEVES-Talking to Tom Nace for a few minutes earlier today, he said that that would be
determined at the time building permit was issued, of what style drain would be worked out there at
the building permit.
MR. MAC EWAN-Okay. As far as the plantings that you discussed with Beautification, is there
some sort of plan or schedule that you submitted with them?
MR. STEVES-Yes. They wanted a, they didn’t specify the number of type, they just wanted some
low shrubs there in the corners. I’m going to have Jim Miller have up a planting schedule for me,
but like I said, I want to incorporate any changes this Board may have at the same time. We’re going
to basically put in a raised bed at those two corners, and just put in as much as we can low, mixture
of evergreens, burning bush, that kind of stuff.
MR. MAC EWAN-Okay. In previous times, you know, we’ve had some kind of plan in front of us
so that when we make an approval, we have something to go by, as far as numbers, quantities, styles,
types.
MR. STEVES-Well, one of the concerns was the plantings that were there, and as you see on the
revised plan, the number of trees along Route 9 has been shown, and their types, and then their types
of shrub in the existing berm. Now on the two corner areas, because of the fact that, you know,
they’re not an extremely large area, we will maximize it with a planting bed.
MR. MAC EWAN-Are you referring to the areas delineated as grass areas?
MR. STEVES-That’s correct. If there’s a specific number or type that the Planning Board.
MR. MAC EWAN-No. It’s just, you know, as a housekeeping thing, so you can keep track of
what’s approved and what styles and quantities are put in.
MR. VOLLARO-I’ve got a couple of things, I guess. The repair of vehicles, is that going to be just
the vehicles that are being serviced prior to sale?
MR. STEVES-That’s correct.
MR. VOLLARO-And how about the warranty period after that? In other words, do those cars come
back under warranty for service? They will? Okay.
MR. STEVES-So it’s just for the repair of the vehicles that are being sold at this facility.
MR. VOLLARO-I guess I’ve got a question for Staff on the Warren County Planning Board. I read
their letter as almost in conflict. Their Staff Notes say that Staff is recommending discussion
pending input of stormwater management by the County Highway Engineer. It looks like they’re
still pending a decision here, and yet under the County Planning Board recommendations, they’ve
approved it. It seems diametrically in opposition with one another. I don’t know.
7
(Queensbury Planning Board Meeting 1/26/99)
MR. SCHACHNER-I may be able to shed some light on that. The way the County Planning Board
usually works, this form is filled out by their Staff, and forwarded to the Planning Board, which then
takes action. So what happened here is the Staff Notes is what was given to the County Planning
Board members prior to them taking action. The fact that this is signed and that the County
Planning Board recommendation part is filled out means that they did take action, subsequent to the
Staff recommendation, in other words.
MR. VOLLARO-All right. On the face of it, this looks a little contradictory, but with that
explanation, I understand.
MR. SCHACHNER-And I can add to that, having been to many County Planning Board meetings,
where it says “Staff is recommending discussion”, what they mean is that many projects are not
discussed at all at the County Planning Board meeting. They are just approved without discussion.
So what Staff was saying in its recommendation to its own Planning Board was, we think this one
should be talked about. Presumably it then was discussed, I’m guessing, I don’t know if you were at
the County Planning Board meeting.
MR. STEVES-Yes, I was.
MR. SCHACHNER-And my sense is it was discussed.
MR. STEVES-Yes, it was.
MR. SCHACHNER-In a project specific manner, which is not true of most projects that go to the
County Planning Board. This one would have been one that was discussed, specifically this project,
and based on that discussion, I wasn’t there, obviously, but based on that discussion, we have a
County Planning Board recommendation which is signed by their Chairperson. So I assume that
action was taken.
MR. STEVES-That’s correct.
MR. VOLLARO-Okay. Good. Thanks very much, Mark, and I have just one more question, and
that’s with respect to Tom Nace’s letter of January 24. In his second paragraph where he ends it up
th
with “therefore these driveways could be abandoned”, and that’s the drywells that we’ve talked about
on this slope.
MR. STEVES-That’s on the bottom of the swale, along Round Pond Road. That’s correct.
MR. VOLLARO-Yes. I was up there today, and I kind of looked at this, and I looked at the
drawing itself, and we’ve got 329 feet of length there, and I just ask a question of whether or not,
with a 40% slope is what I calculated that to be, based on these numbers, whether or not any perc
data should be done there to say that, yes, indeed, that steep a slope will not invade onto Round
Pond Road, but Tom seems to think that we can abandon those wells.
MR. STEVES-He’s saying you could. He’s saying that because we have done perc tests on this site
in the past, I don’t know if that’s labeled on here.
MR. VOLLARO-Well, yes, there’s a couple of “TP’s” on the drawing.
MR. STEVES-And it’s all sandy soils, just, you know, the absorption rate is there, that he says that it
is not necessary, that they could be abandoned. He’s not saying you have to abandon them. If you
want to leave them, we leave them. They serve no purpose by being there at this time.
MR. VOLLARO-Well, if we leave them, they’ve got to be maintained. That’s the other side of the
coin. If you have them and they’re not maintained, they’re not going to work. If they’re not needed,
then.
MR. STEVES-Well, they’re not needed so it doesn’t make, really, a lot of difference whether they
work or not.
MR. VOLLARO-It just seemed to me a very steep slope. I guess when I looked at it I said, boy,
that’s got to do a lot of absorption in a big hurry before it gets to Round Pond Road, but if he thinks
that there’s enough there, based on test points that he’s made, fine.
MR. STEVES-No question.
MR. VOLLARO-I don’t have any questions.
8
(Queensbury Planning Board Meeting 1/26/99)
MR. MAC EWAN-Okay.
MR. PALING-I’ve got a couple of questions. The building that we see pictured on this drawing
here, is that just a build up of the existing building, or is that new building?
MR. STEVES-No, that’s the new building.
MR. PALING-Why don’t you turn it at right angles, if it’s new? The side facing Route 9 I don’t
think puts out a very good appearance. If it were turned at right angles, as shown in this picture, I
think it would make a lot better looking lot.
MR. STEVES-This at the bottom here is what is facing Route 9.
MR. PALING-No, not according to this. All right. I’m being influenced by the one, they’re taking
that away, and this is the front?
MR. STEVES-That’s correct.
MR. PALING-Okay. Now, the other thing is, we’ve talked several times about the strip to the road,
which is State property, and I believe that the applicant has said he is willing to maintain that.
MR. STEVES-Yes, after the State finishes their grading, seeding, topsoiling, whatever they’re going
to do, the applicant has said that once the State has completed their work, he will maintain the
vegetation that is placed.
MR. PALING-Meaning mowing, whatever needs to be done to it to make it, because it’s looked
terrible here for quite some time because it wasn’t maintained.
MR. STEVES-That’s correct.
MR. PALING-Okay, and I think that should be part of the motion on that.
MR. STEVES-That’s fine.
MR. MAC EWAN-Give me a definition of the drywells being abandoned. What do you mean by
that?
MR. STEVES-As far as being abandoned, it means that they could be filled in, because they’re really
not needed. A drywell is nothing more than a pre-cast concrete pit, with stone around it so it’s
hollow on the inside for infiltration into the existing soil. The cover could be removed and filled in,
so that it’s not a hole in the ground, basically.
MR. MAC EWAN-Okay. I guess maybe a legal question. When one abandons a drywell, who has
the liability of that for the future?
MR. SCHACHNER-Where is it located?
MR. STEVES-On our property, on the property.
MR. MAC EWAN-Does the property owner retain?
MR. SCHACHNER-If it’s on the applicant’s property, there is nobody else that would be in the
liability loop, so to speak, that I can think of.
MR. MAC EWAN-Okay.
MR. RINGER-It would seem that if they’re not going to use them, they should be filled in, rather
than left there.
MR. MAC EWAN-Yes, I mean, that’s what I’m thinking of. I’m thinking if one of these things cave
in or whatever.
MR. RINGER-Right. That’s what I’m thinking of, too. If you’re not going to use them, lets fill
them in, or lets use them and maintain them, one or the other.
MR. STEVES-There’s traffic covers on them, but we have no problem in the spring removing the
covers, filling them in, so that there’s no problem of somebody falling into them.
9
(Queensbury Planning Board Meeting 1/26/99)
MR. MAC EWAN-Well, as Bob raised here the question regarding the slope and stuff, wouldn’t it
just be an ounce of prevention? It would be worth it in the long haul by leaving them and
maintaining them operational?
MR. STEVES-Like Tom’s letter states, and the brief discussion I had with him tonight, that he
doesn’t think that any water will really reach them. So that he doesn’t believe that, you know, he said
that he doesn’t believe they’re necessary, but at the same time, if the Board wants to see them
remain, then we should make a note of it that they should be maintained by the applicant.
MR. MAC EWAN-I would think that if they’re there, the maintenance on them is going to be next
to nothing, and it just would make good sense just to take care of them.
MR. STEVES-That’s what Tom basically stated, that they could be removed or abandoned, but
they’re there. No water will probably get to them, but in the case that, once in a while some does,
they’re there to work.
MR. MAC EWAN-Okay. Anything else?
MR. STEVES-No.
MRS. LA BOMBARD-Is this the metal building that you were talking about? I mean, is it a metal
building, or is there siding in the front and on the side?
MR. STEVES-That’s a block building, if I’m correct, Joe? I’ll let the applicant speak for that.
MRS. LA BOMBARD-Okay, and what kind of a roof?
MR. LEUCI-Joseph Leuci. It’s a block building I’m putting up.
MR. MAC EWAN-Architectural blocks, that kind of thing?
MR. LEUCI-Yes.
MR. MAC EWAN-Okay.
MRS. LA BOMBARD-But this in the front is?
MR. MAC EWAN-Block.
MRS. LA BOMBARD-This is block here? It’s not?
MR. MAC EWAN-No, that’s wooden up there.
MR. LEUCI-That will be siding. The rest of the building will be made of block.
MR. MAC EWAN-It’s cedar siding, something like that?
MR. LEUCI-Possibly.
MRS. LA BOMBARD-And what’s the roofing going to be, a metal roof or a shingled roof?
MR. LEUCI-A shingled roof.
MRS. LA BOMBARD-I think it looks very attractive.

MOTION TO APPROVE SITE PLAN NO. 55-98 JOSEPH LEUCI, Introduced by Robert
Vollaro who moved for its adoption, seconded by Robert Paling:
As written by Staff, with the following conditions. Number One, the letter of Nace Engineering,
dated January 24, should be part of the supporting documentation. Number Two, that the drywells
th
indicated in the January 24 letter from Nace Engineering shall be continued and maintained by the
th
property owner. I’d like the resolution to also state that the display of vehicles will be limited to
those areas designated as display. There are 39 units on the drawing dated 12/29/98, and those 39
units would be used for display areas and automobiles for sale shall not be parked in the green
spaces or green areas. The application is also limited to the repair of vehicles owned by
Mountainside prior to those vehicles being offered for sale, and also would allow the warranty to be
performed on those vehicles during the warranty period. This motion states that this is not a repair
station for off the street vehicles. The green area within the New York State right-of-way shall be
maintained. The drain that will be in the repair shop will be piped into a holding tank, which will
have a periodic clean out, and material will be hauled away to a plant that processes that type of
material, and that will be reviewed and approved by the Building and Codes Department. In
addition, there was a sketch showing the front view and the floor plan of the proposed building, and
the only way to identify that is in the left hand corner it’s said received by Laura Moore, 9/21/98.
There’ll be a new site plan issued with modifications, and to that site plan will be attached an
elevation view of the building, and a planting schedule.

(Queensbury Planning Board Meeting 1/26/99)
Duly adopted this 26 day of January, 1999, by the following vote:
th
MRS. MOORE-You have to mention to include the landscape plan of some sort.
MR. MAC EWAN-We did. We tied it that in with the Beautification comments, Item 19.
MRS. MOORE-Okay.
MR. MAC EWAN-The Beautification Committee, that’s why I addressed it, because the
Beautification Committee didn’t really give specifics about what they’re looking for.
MR. VOLLARO-Well, Matt brought out the point about doing the corner, now when you said the
corners, are you talking about the corners of Route 9 and Round Pond Road?
MR. STEVES-The two grass areas and the two front corners of the building, because of the fact that
it’s a showroom in the front, that small grass area between the canopy and the parking, but where the
two actually bubble out into the parking area, those two are plant beds. I’ve put specific numbers on
there, and I’ll have Jim Miller, Landscape Architect, write up a planting detail and list of what’s going
to be in there. I’ll have him maximize it. I mean, you’re talking an area of about 10 by 15, but we’ll
put in there what we can, and I’ll also make a suggestion, as far as the building print that was given
to you with the elevation view, I can put that an attach it to the site plan, right on the cover sheet of
the site plan, so that it’s all on one sheet for you, if that would be easier.
MR. MAC EWAN-Okay. We’ll modify our resolution to indicate that.
MR. STEVES-Okay.
MR. VOLLARO-All right. Are you talking about the revised site plan of December 29?
MR. STEVES-The one that you will be getting with all these modifications, yes.
MR. VOLLARO-Okay. There’ll be a new site plan issued with modifications, and to that site plan
will be attached an elevation view of the building.
MR. STEVES-And a planting schedule.
MR. VOLLARO-And a planting schedule.

STAFF INPUT
Notes from Staff, Subdivision No. 15-86 - Modification, Lehland Estates - Phases I & II, Meeting
Date: January 26, 1999 “Description of Project The applicant proposes a series of lot line
adjustments to a Planning Board approved subdivision. The lots affected are Lot 1 in Phase I and
Lots 47-52, 65 and 66 in Phase II. Planning Board review is required for modifications to an
13
(Queensbury Planning Board Meeting 1/26/99)
approved subdivision. Staff Notes The purpose of the Phase II modification is to accommodate an
adjacent property owner encroachment. Lot 47: was .91 ac., will be .54 ac.; Lot 48: was .47 ac., will
be .54 ac.; Lot 49, was .47 ac., will be .54 ac.; Lot 50: was .47 ac., will be .54 ac.; Lot 51: was .47 ac.,
will be .57 ac.; Lot 52: was .49 ac., will be .61 ac. The purpose of the Phase I modification is to
accommodate a purchaser of a lot for additional property. Lot 1: was .77 ac., will be .74 ac.; Lot 65:
was .47 ac., will be .50 ac.; Lot 66: was .49 ac., will remain 0.49 ac. As described above, the overall
acre per lot does not change significantly. There are no foreseeable neighborhood or environmental
impacts. Staff has no additional comments.”
MR. MAC EWAN-Is that it?
MRS. MOORE-Yes.
MR. MAC EWAN-Good evening.
MR. STEVES-Good evening. My name is Matt Steves. I represent the Michaels Group, and with
me is Dave Michaels.
MR. MAC EWAN-Just give us a quick overview.
MR. STEVES-This is in response to the King property to the north. You can see where the house is
located, and the original subdivision we had left a notch out of Lot 47 to try to accommodate a
boundary line agreement. None was specified because it was in the works at the time of the final
subdivision approval, and we have now come to terms with Mr. King, as far as a resolution to this
problem, and it is before the Board at this time. Basically, we’re extending the Lots 47 through 52
back into a 30 foot, isn’t it 30 foot deep, yes, of Mr. King’s property, about 40, and then conveying a
piece of what was that kind of a tail of Lot 47 along the new subdivision road to Mr. King. So,
basically, his lot doesn’t straddle the property line, or his house, I mean.
MR. MAC EWAN-It seems simple enough.
MR. VOLLARO-Seems pretty straight forward to me.
MR. MAC EWAN-Anything else?
MR. STEVES-No.
MR. MAC EWAN-No public hearing is scheduled tonight, but we’ll accept public comment. If
anyone wants to come up and comment on this, you’re more than welcome to. Okay. Would
someone put a resolution up?

STAFF INPUT
Notes from Staff, Site Plan No. 1-99, MTM, LLC, Meeting Date: January 26, 1999 “Description of
Project The applicant proposes to locate a health related facility in an existing building (formerly
Stan’s Seafood). Health related facilities require Site Plan Review in a Highway Commercial zone.
Staff Notes The applicant met with Staff prior to application submission. Staff discussed use,
parking availability, dumpster location, and landscaping. The applicant has provided a site plan map,
an interior alterations map, and a landscaping plan. The applicant has requested a waiver from the
sign type and location. The applicant has indicated that the sign will be in conformance with the
Town Code. The applicant has complied with the site plan application requirements. Staff has no
additional comments.”
MRS. MOORE-Beautification Committee comments “Plans to keep and improve existing plantings.
Hopes to, and we highly recommend, a sprinkler system. Dumpster stays where it is. If sign on Bay
15
(Queensbury Planning Board Meeting 1/26/99)
Road is kept we suggest “down” lighting and plantings.” Warren County has No County Impact.
That’s it.
MR. MAC EWAN-That’s it. Good evening.
MR. PALING-It says “No County Impact”, but look at the next to last sentence of the County
Planning Board report, and they’re questioning the curb cuts. Any comments from the County
Highway?
MRS. MOORE-I haven’t received any, if that’s.
MR. PALING-It’s kind of a funny way to say No County Impact, and then with that mentioned in
there.
MR. SCHACHNER-Again, Bob, this is exactly the same circumstance that we had two applications
ago. The language you’re looking at is in the Staff Notes. All that happens at the County is they
consolidate documents. So that, for example, when Laura just read our Staff Notes, those notes do
not appear on your approval document. At the County, they do. So the language you’re looking at
which discusses the curb cuts and whether they should be renovated or not, that was the Staff’s
Notes that the Staff sent to the County Planning Board. Again, and obviously I was not present at
the meeting, but for whatever reason, the County Planning Board recommendation says NCI, which
is No County Impact. So the County Planning Board itself, the members, not the Staff, evidently felt
that none of this Staff Notes stuff matters because the project will not have any County Impact.
MR. PALING-Okay.
MR. MAC EWAN-Good evening.
DR. MERRIHEW-Hi. I’m Don Merrihew. How are you?
MR. MAC EWAN-Good. Tell us a little bit about your project.
DR. MERRIHEW-I am currently located in Northway Plaza Convenient Medical Care, and I plan to
relocate at the location Stan’s Seafood near the corner of Bay and Quaker.
MR. MAC EWAN-Okay.
MR. RINGER-I looks good.
MR. VOLLARO-I looked it over. The only question that I had was on the percent of
nonpermeable, but that’s something that you’re going to inherit on that property. There’s not much
you can do with the degree of nonpermeability. It’s almost 90% nonpermeable property, and I think
that goes with the land. That’s the way it is now.
DR. MERRIHEW-I’ll have to agree with that, because I really don’t know the particulars.
MR. VOLLARO-Okay. That’s the only thing that popped out for me.
MRS. LA BOMBARD-I just think it’s nice to have this vacant building turned into something nice
and constructive.
MR. MAC EWAN-It’s been vacant for a long time.
MRS. LA BOMBARD-I know.
MR. MAC EWAN-I’m assuming you’re going to do major renovations inside?
DR. MERRIHEW-I plan to gut the whole building and to do the whole thing over.
MR. MAC EWAN-I mean, as far as handicapped access, there doesn’t seem to be an issue. It’s all
there. There’s four or five handicapped parking spots right outside the door.
DR. MERRIHEW-I believe so.
MR. MAC EWAN-As many as you’ll need. The dumpster issue. The dumpster is hidden. It’s all
enclosed.
MR. RINGER-Everything looks good.

MR. MAC EWAN-Has anybody else got any other comments? We’ll open up the public hearing.
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED
NO COMMENT
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
MR. PALING-Craig, what were you asking about parking spaces?
MR. MAC EWAN-The handicapped, and there’s ample handicapped parking, located right in front
of the main door. I mean virtually, other than doing his interior alterations to accommodate the
difference of style of business in there, really this site’s fairly site ready for you.
MR. PALING-There are only two handicapped parking spaces. Maybe that’s enough.
MRS. LA BOMBARD-There’s two back here.
MR. RINGER-He’s got two more right next to it, just as close to the building.
MR. MAC EWAN-Yes. There’s some up here in the front, too, as I recall.
MR. PALING-Not on the print.
MR. MAC EWAN-Not delineated on there, but I think there are some right by the main entrance.
He’s got more than enough space up there if he has to, you know, add one or two more handicapped
parking spaces, he’s got the space to do it.
MR. RINGER-He’s required to have so many per number of spaces.
MR. PALING-What is the requirement?
MR. RINGER-I don’t know it is, but I know there is a requirement.
MR. MAC EWAN-If you want an answer, we’ll get you an answer right now.
MR. PALING-It’s not so much I want an answer, but we’ve got to do it the way it should be done.
That’s not a big deal, just mark them. There’s parking spaces right next to the one, two he’s got. If
he needs more, he could designate those.
MR. MAC EWAN-I think that requires four up there.
MRS. MOORE-I don’t have that sheet with me, but I know when he speaks with Dave Hatin, he’ll
have to, Dave Hatin will tell him how many he needs.
MR. MAC EWAN-Yes. I don’t think it’s a big issue. He’s got more than enough to cover it. Okay.
It’s Type II. There’s no SEQRA required. Does someone way to put a motion up?
