WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY: Mr. Richard Sanford
WHEREAS, an application was made for Queensbury Town Board authorization of a
Planned Unit Development (PUD) at the property owned by Bay Meadows Corp. on Bay Road
in the Town of Queensbury, and
WHEREAS, on November 28, 2005, the Town Board acting as “Lead Agency” under the
New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) issued a SEQRA Negative
Declaration finding that the proposed PUD zoning authorization had no significant adverse
environmental impacts and, therefore, did not require preparation of an Environmental Impact
Statement, and
WHEREAS, the Michaels Group submitted an application for Site Plan Review by the
Town of Queensbury Planning Board to develop the Bay Meadows property, such application
now having been withdrawn by the Michaels Group by letter dated April 27, 2006, and
WHEREAS, the Town Board has recently discovered new information relating to
potential environmental impacts of subsequent development of the property, such new
information relating largely to flood areas, stormwater management, stormwater runoff, pre-
development groundwater levels, floodplains and soils and the prior SEQRA approval, and
WHEREAS, the PUD zoning amendment and subsequent development of the property, at
least as thus far proposed, constitute a SEQRA Unlisted Action and, therefore, SEQRA
Coordinated Review is not required, and
1
WHEREAS, the Town Board believes that the newly discovered information should be
taken into account and considered by the Town of Queensbury Planning Board and any other
agencies from which approval for any subsequent development project is required,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that the Queensbury Town Board hereby terminates the SEQRA
Coordinated Review which was previously undertaken and relinquishes its previously designated
role as SEQRA Lead Agency for this action, and
BE IT FURTHER,

RESOLVED that any future proposal to develop the Bay Meadows property shall be
subject to SEQRA Uncoordinated Review undertaken by whatever agencies are Involved
Agencies for any such development proposal acting independently in fulfillment of their
obligations to conduct SEQRA Uncoordinated Review, and
BE IT FURTHER,
,
RESOLVEDthat the Town Board authorizes and directs the Executive Director of
Community Development and/or Town Clerk to notify other potentially Involved Agencies of
which the Town Board is currently aware of this Resolution terminating SEQRA Coordinated
Review and such notification shall also be provided to Bay Meadows Corp. and the Michaels
Group.
