452.2006
RESOLUTION SUPPORTING USE OF “AS-BUILT” CERTIFICATIONS BY
TOWN PLANNING BOARD
RESOLUTION NO. 452, 2006
INTRODUCED BY: Mr. Roger Boor
WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY: Mr. Richard Sanford
WHEREAS, the Queensbury Town Board wishes to encourage the Town’s Planning Board
to require design teams of applicants appearing before the Planning Board for site plan review to
certify as-built site plans to certify that the site plan was developed according to the approved
plans prior to issuance of the certificate of occupancy, and
WHEREAS, such proposed requirement would be a condition of Planning Board site plan
approval and would be added to certain Planning Board approval Resolutions at the Planning
Board's discretion, primarily on larger scale or more complicated projects, and
WHEREAS, although the Town’s Code Compliance Officers would still have the “final
say” with regards to the final condition of the site, having the applicants’ project engineers
provide such as-built site plan and certification at the time when the Town performs its final
inspections would make the Town’s inspection process easier and provide certification that the
site is developed as designed and if not, then the liability would fall on the applicant and/or their
agents/engineers, and
WHEREAS, such proposed requirement, combined with a letter of credit, where
applicable, to ensure that the site work is completed, will provide for an effective enforcement
tool,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that the Queensbury Town Board hereby supports and encourages the Town’s
Planning Board to require design teams of applicants appearing before the Planning Board for site
plan review, to certify as-built site plans to certify that the site plan was developed according to
the approved plans prior to issuance of the certificate of occupancy, as delineated in the preambles
of this Resolution, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Town Board authorizes and directs the Town Clerk to forward a
certified copy of this Resolution to the Town Planning Board and Code Compliance Officers.
