NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS
ORDERED:
1. The Queensbury Town Board shall hold a public hearing to consider establishment of the
proposed Extension No. 4 to the Queensbury Technical Park Sewer District described in this
Resolution to be known as the Queensbury Technical Park Sewer District Extension No.: 4.
2. The boundaries of the proposed extension and benefitted areas of the Queensbury
Technical Park Sewer District are to be as follows:
All that certain parcel of land located on the northerly side of Dix Avenue in the Town of
Queensbury, Warren County, New York and which parcel is bounded and described as
follows:
Beginning at a point in the northerly bounds of Dix Avenue approximately 843 feet westerly of
the westerly bounds of New York State Route 254, also known as Quaker Road; running
thence from the point of beginning in a northwesterly direction and along the northerly bounds
of said Dix Avenue, North 65 degrees 06 minutes 40 seconds West for a distance of 172.68
feet to a point; thence running in a northeasterly direction on a course perpendicular to the
northerly bounds of Dix Avenue, North 24 degrees 53 minutes 20 seconds East for a distance
of 292.24 feet to a point; thence running in a southeasterly direction, South 40 degrees 15
minutes 50 seconds West for a distance of 190.30 feet to a point; thence running in a
southwesterly direction South 24 degrees 53 minutes 20 seconds West for a distance of 212.27
feet to the point of beginning containing 1.00 acres of land more or less.
3. The single parcel of land in this proposed Sewer District Extension has on it an existing
building which had previously been a furniture store and now is planned for office space. The building
is presently served by an on-site septic system. It is proposed to connect the existing building sewer to
the existing municipal sewer located on the south side of Dix Avenue by means of a new 6” diameter
PVC sewer lateral. Plans and details for this new connection are shown on the Plan of Proposed
Connection of the Map, Plan and Report. Flows from this proposed Extension will be transported by
2
existing sewers in the Technical Park Sewer District and will be discharged to the City of Glens Falls
sewer collection system for treatment at the City of Glens Falls Sewage Treatment Facility.
4. The maximum amount proposed to be expended to form the District Extension is
approximately $9,700 which would be borne by the sole property owner. This estimate includes the
capital cost of construction as well as the one-time buy-in fee for capacity at the Glens Falls Sewage
Treatment Facility in the amount of $600. There is no hook-up fee charged by the Town of
Queensbury. The current operation and maintenance use fee in the district is $3.00 per 1,000 gallons
of metered water usage. The property within the Extension will be taxed and/or assessed user fees for
the operation and maintenance charges required for the entire district. All user fees and taxes will be
based upon the same formulas as are presently used in the Queensbury Technical Park Sewer District.
5. The capital cost of the project will be totally financed and paid for by the property owner
and therefore, there will be no financing cost of tax increase in the existing Technical Park Sewer
District. The operation and maintenance cost for the single property in Extension No. 4 is estimated to
be $351 per year based upon an estimated water use of 450 gallons per work day. There are no
residential properties in Extension No. 4, just the single commercial property. Therefore, typical costs
for residential properties of varying assessments are not required.
6. In accordance with Town Law §206-a, all future expenses of the Queensbury Technical
Park Sewer District, including all extensions included heretofore or hereafter established, shall be a
charge against the entire area of the district as extended.
7. The Map, Plan and Report describing the improvements and area involved and a detailed
explanation of the fees and costs is on file with the Queensbury Town Clerk and is available for public
inspection.
8. The Town Board shall meet and hold a public hearing at the Queensbury Activities Center,
th
742 Bay Road, Queensbury at 7:00 p.m., on Monday, August 5, 2002 to consider the Map, Plan and
Report and to hear all persons interested in the proposal and to take such other and further action as
3
may be required or authorized by law.
9. The Town Board hereby authorizes and directs the Queensbury Town Clerk to duly
publish and post this Order not less than ten (10) days nor more than twenty (20) days before the
public hearing date, as required by Town Law §209-d, and complete or arrange for the securing of two
(2) Affidavits of Publication of Notice and two (2) Affidavits of Posting of Notice of the Public
Hearing required hereby and to file a certified copy of this Order with the State Comptroller on or
about the date of publication.
10. The Town Board authorizes and directs the Queensbury Community Development
Department to prepare a report on any environmental impacts that should be considered at the time a
SEQRA review is conducted.
11. The Town Board hereby authorizes and directs the Community Development Department
to send a copy of this Resolution, Part I of the Environmental Assessment Form and a copy of the
Map, Plan and Report to all potentially involved agencies and to the New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation and New York State Department of Health together with all
