ORDER SETTING PUBLIC HEARING CONCERNING PROPOSED
CREATION OF WEST QUEENSBURY SANITARY SEWER DISTRICT
RESOLUTION NO. 517, 2002
INTRODUCED BY: Mr. Tim Brewer
WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY: Mr. Roger Boor
WHEREAS, the Town of Queensbury wishes to create a new sewer district to be known as
the West Queensbury Sanitary Sewer District, and
WHEREAS, a District Formation Report (Map, Plan and Report) has been prepared by Barton
& Loguidice, P.C., professional engineers, concerning the proposed sewer district formation and the
construction of sewer facilities along Warren County Route 28 (Main Street and Corinth Road) to
service the area between the City of Glens Falls and Big Bay Road, west of Interstate 87 (the
Adirondack Northway), as more specifically set forth and described in the Map, Plan and Report, and
WHEREAS, the Map, Plan and Report has been filed in the Queensbury Town Clerk's Office
and is available for public inspection, and
WHEREAS, the Map, Plan and Report delineates the boundaries of the proposed Sewer
District, a general plan of the proposed sewer system, a report of the proposed sewer system and
method of operation, and
WHEREAS, coordinated SEQRA review will be conducted and the Town will send a
copy of Part I of the EAF and the Report to all potentially involved agencies including the New
York State Department of Environmental Conservation and New York State Department of
Health together with all required documentation and a letter indicating that the Town Board will
be undertaking consideration of the project identified in this Order, that coordinated SEQRA
review with the Queensbury Town Board as lead agency is desired and that a lead agency must be
agreed upon within 30 days, and
WHEREAS, the Town Board wishes to establish the proposed West Queensbury Sanitary
Sewer District in accordance with Town Law Article 12-A
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS
ORDERED:
1.The boundaries of the proposed West Queensbury Sanitary Sewer District are shown
on the Map of Proposed Sewer District attached as Appendix A to the Map, Plan and Report and in
the description of the boundary attached to this Order as Exhibit A. The benefited properties proposed
to be a part of the Sewer District are as detailed on Appendix C of the Map, Plan and Report and as
Exhibit B attached to this Order.
2.The proposed improvements include the construction of a ten inch PVC gravity sewer
main along Warren County Route 28 in the Town of Queensbury. The sewer main would connect the
City of Glens Falls sewer system approximately 150 feet east of the Town/City line and would be
installed along the south side of the roadway typically three feet south of the southern edge of the
proposed sidewalk, crossing Interstate Route 87 and terminating approximately 150 feet west of the
intersection of Corinth Road and Big Bay Road. Permanent utility easements would be sought, where
required. In all, approximately 6,250 linear feet of PVC sewer main would be constructed. Service
laterals would be provided from the sewer main to the property or easement line for each existing
2
developed and undeveloped parcel within the proposed Sewer District. Property owners would be
required to connect their building plumbing to the sewer service lateral and, where applicable, to
disconnect and decommission their private on-site wastewater disposal system.
3.
All proposed improvements shall be installed and paid for as described in the Report
(including the cost payable to the City at the time of initial hook-up) and shall be constructed and
installed in full accordance with the Town of Queensbury's specifications, ordinances or local laws, and
any State laws or regulations, and in accordance with approved plans and specifications and under
competent engineering supervision.
4.The maximum amount proposed to be expended for these improvements is $1,100,000
including a one time buy-in fee to the City of Glens Falls wastewater treatment facility. The
improvement costs for various components of the proposed Sewer District are specifically described in
the Map, Plan and Report.
5.The properties within the proposed Sewer District vary widely in their respected use.
The estimated cost to each property is listed in Appendix C to the Map, Plan and Report and a list of
each property owner and tax map number with the estimated costs of each parcel is attached as Exhibit
B of this Resolution and is incorporated in this Resolution. The proposed Sewer District will charge
properties based on a formula, not on assessed value.
The estimated annual cost of the Project to the typical one or two family home, which is also
the “typical” property, in the proposed Sewer District will be $361.80.
There will be only a $10 permit fee by the Town for hook-up to the proposed Sewer District.
Each property owner will arrange for his/her hook-up to the System at his/her own cost. There will be
no additional charge to the Town.
3
The cost to retain a private contractor to install a new collection sewer system and/or sewer
lateral between a building and the main Project sewer lines vary significantly depending on the
individual conditions including distance from the line and various subsurface conditions.
6. A detailed explanation of how the estimated cost of the District to the typical property,
and, if different, the typical one or two family home was computed is included in the Report which is
on file with the Town Clerk and available for public inspection.
7.The Town Board shall meet and hold a public hearing to hear all persons interested in the
establishment of the Sewer District, consider the Map, Plan and Report and take such other and further
th

the Public Hearing and file a certified copy of this Order with the State Comptroller on or about
the date of publication.
9.The Town Board further authorizes and directs the Community Development
Department to prepare a report on any environmental impacts that should be considered at the
time a SEQRA review is conducted.
10.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 presented at this
meeting 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 documentation to be sent out with a letter indicating that the Town Board is about to
