AND THE WARREN COUNTY PLANNING BOARD REGARDING
REFERRALS TO THE COUNTY PLANNING BOARD
RESOLUTION NO.: 452, 96
INTRODUCED BY: Mrs. Betty Monahan
WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY: Mr. Theodore Turner
WHEREAS, General Municipal Law ("GML") §239-m requires that
the Town Board, Town Planning Board and Town Zoning Board of
Appeals refer certain proposed actions to the County Planning Board
for its advisory recommendation before taking final action on these
proposed actions, and
WHEREAS, GML §239-m(3)(c) states that the County Planning
Board may enter into an agreement with the referring body or duly
authorized body of the Town to provide that certain proposed
actions are of local, rather than inter-community or County-wide
concern, and are not subject to referral under GML §239-m, and
WHEREAS, many of the proposed actions currently referred to
the County Planning Board are deemed by the County Planning Board
to have no County impacts, and
WHEREAS, the municipal Boards, applicants and the public would
be better served by eliminating unnecessary steps in the regulatory
process, and
WHEREAS, the Town and County therefore wish to enter into an
agreement as authorized by GML §239-m(3)(c) in order to avoid
needless referral of very minor actions, and
WHEREAS, an agreement between the parties has been presented
at this meeting, which agreement sets forth the proposed actions
that will no longer be referred by the Town Board, Town Planning
Board and/or Town Zoning Board to the County Planning Board,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury hereby
approves of the agreement presented at this meeting and identified
in the preambles hereof and hereby further authorizes and directs
the Town Supervisor to execute the aforesaid agreement on behalf of
the Town of Queensbury and to take such other and further steps as
may be necessary to implement the aforesaid agreement.

vote:

Champagne
