INTRODUCED BY: Mrs. Carol Pulver
WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY: Mr. Nick Caimano
WHEREAS, Mr. Guido Passarelli has requested that the Town
Board of the Town of Queensbury establish an extension to the
Queensbury Consolidated Water District to serve a development he
has proposed in the Round Pond area, and generally serving that
area adjacent to, in and around, that area of the Town of
Queensbury in the northerly portion of the Town east of U.S. Route
9 along Round Pond Road and Birdsall Road and including the
subdivision known as the Round Pond Subdivision, as more
specifically set forth in the a map, plan, and report drafted by
Thomas W. Nace, P.E., and
WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury is generally
desirous of undertaking such proceedings as may be allowed and
authorized by Town Law of the State of New York to authorize the
extension to the Queensbury Consolidated Water District as
requested by Mr. Passarelli, and at the time that this resolution
is adopted, is also adopting a resolution calling and setting a
public hearing concerning the proposed Round Pond Water District
Extension for June 20th, 1994 at 7:00 p.m., as more specifically
set forth in a separate notice concerning the same, and
WHEREAS, Thomas W. Nace, P.E., in developing the map, plan,
and report for Mr. Passarelli previously ascertained that an 8"
diameter water main along Round Pond Road would be sufficient for
purposes of providing water service to the area that Mr. Passarelli
has requested be served, and
WHEREAS, the Queensbury Consolidated Water Superintendent has
recommended that the pipeline to be installed along Round Pond Road
be increased from an 8" diameter main to a 12" diameter main since
such excess capacity would provide sufficient capacity for further
water needs in that area of the Town and provide a pipe that could
be extended in the future to allow the Town to tie into other water
pipes located at or near Round Pond and Bay Road intersections,
thereby increasing the reliability of the transmission system and
basically being consistent with overall good planning for the
future growth and reliability of the water system, and
WHEREAS, the engineers for Mr. Passarelli, Thomas W. Nace,
P.E., Haanen Engineering has advised that there will be an
additional cost for such an increase in pipe in the amount up to
$27,000, and
WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury desires to
arrange for a larger water main, as indicated hereinabove, and
WHEREAS, Town Law §192-A provides that the Town Board of the
Town of Queensbury may establish excess capacity as a general Town
expense upon following certain procedures,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury hereby
determines that it is appropriate to increase the diameter of the
water main along Round Pond Road from 8" in diameter to 12" in
diameter, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury agrees
that the necessity for the increase in pipe size and therefore,
excess capacity, is as set forth by the Queensbury Water
Superintendent, and
BE IT FURTHER,

facilities as described hereinbefore, is determined to be up to the
sum of $27,000 as set forth in the engineering report by Thomas W.

BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury hereby
states that the maximum proposed amount to be expended for the
improvement is estimated at $147,000, said amount to be paid by the

and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury hereby
determines that upon authorization, the plan is for all proposed
