CONSOLIDATED WATER DISTRICT
RESOLUTION NO. 511, 2008
INTRODUCED BY: Mr. Tim Brewer WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY: Mr. John Strough
WHEREAS, by Resolution No.: 120,2003, the Queensbury Town Board authorized and
approved improvements to the Queensbury Consolidated Water District, such improvements being the
replacement of a water main along Main Street in the Town of Queensbury as described in a Map and
Plan (Map, Plan and Report) prepared by Barton & Loguidice, P.C., professional engineers (Barton)
dated November, 2002, and
WHEREAS, the Town Water Superintendent previously advised the Town Board that it
was necessary that Barton update the Map, Plan and Report for the proposed Water District
improvements to (a) reflect increased estimated project costs for the projected construction
schedule, (b) meet procedural requirements for special districts and (c) add an additional water
main to the design drawings along the approximately 1,000 feet of Big Boom Road to be
realigned and the connection to the Main Street water main; the Town Board authorized Barton to
update such Map, Plan and Report and Barton provided a revised Map, Plan and Report dated August,
2006, and
WHEREAS, the Town Water Superintendent again advised the Town Board that it would be
necessary that Barton update the Map, Plan and Report for the proposed Water District improvements
to reflect further increased estimated project costs for the projected 2009construction schedule, and
the Town Board authorized Barton to update such Map, Plan and Report, and
WHEREAS, the revised Map, Plan and Report dated August, 2008 has been prepared by
Barton and filed in the Queensbury Town Clerk's Office and is available for public inspection, and
WHEREAS, the Map, Plan and Report describes the proposed improvement, exactly what
work is proposed to be done and an estimate of the cost, and
WHEREAS, the Town Board accepts such revised Map, Plan and Report as the Map, Plan
and Report for the Water District improvements; and
WHEREAS, the Town Board wishes to authorize such improvements to the Queensbury
Consolidated Water District and the replacement of the currently obsolete, inadequate or worn-
out water main along Main Street, and
WHEREAS, by Resolution No.: 119,2003, the Queensbury Town Board, as SEQRA
Lead Agency, conducted a coordinated SEQRA review and, after considering the action,
approved a SEQRA Negative Declaration for the Project,
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS
ORDERED:
1.The proposed improvements are as described in such Map, Plan and Report, including
the replacement of the aged 8” water main along Main Street with a new 12” water main, the
installation of approximately 1,000 feet of new 12” water main along the realigned section of Big
Boom Road and an additional connection from the existing 12” water main coming from the west
along Corinth Road, thereby improving pressure and flow to the Queensbury Consolidated Water
District.
2.It is proposed that construction of the water main would immediately precede the
currently planned road reconstruction project. Since this is a replacement of an existing water main, it
is not expected that there will be any lands to be acquired and it is expected that the water main would
2
be placed in the highway rights-of-way along the northern portion of Main Street as more specifically
shown in the Map, Plan and Report.
3.The changes in the proposed project related to realignment of a portion of Big Boom
Road are not substantive and do not require amendment of the SEQRA Negative Declaration.
4.The maximum estimated cost for these improvements to the Queensbury Consolidated
Water District is $1,300,000.
5.The Map, Plan and Report describing the improvements, the capital project costs and
all other related matters is on file with the Queensbury Town Clerk and it is available for public
inspection.
6.The Town Board shall meet and hold a public hearing at the Queensbury Activities
Center, 742 Bay Road, Queensbury, New York at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, November 17, 2008 to
consider the revised Map, Plan and Report, hear all persons interested in the proposal and take such
other and further action as may be required or authorized by law.
7.The Town Board hereby authorizes and directs the Queensbury Town Clerk to
duly publish and post a Notice of public hearing not less than ten (10) days nor more than twenty
(20) days before the public hearing date as required by Town Law §202-b.
