PUBLIC HEARING SEWAGE DISPOSAL VARIANCE APPLICATION OF SEAN
AND DEBORAH QUILLINAN
PUBLICATION DATE: JUNE 19, 2009
OPENED
SUPERVISOR STEC-This we set a couple of weeks ago this is for property located on Glen
Lake Road. It is to allow a leach field to be seventy four point seven feet from their own well
in lieu of the required one hundred foot setback and zero feet from their eastern property line in
lieu of the required ten foot setback. Again, this is for property that is located at 4 Sullivan
Road in the Town of Queensbury, which is over near the Docksider on Glen Lake. I see that
the Quillinan’s are here if they want to add anything to what I just said, I didn’t think so. I will
declare the public hearing opened if there are any members of the public that would like to
comment on this public hearing regarding this septic variance just raise your hand I will call on
you.
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 07-06-2009 MTG#27 110
NO PUBLIC COMMENT
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Sean is the old leach field?
MR. QUILLINAN-The old leach field extended if you are looking at the survey map north by
about twenty five, thirty feet and winds up within the hundred foot barrier of my northern
neighbor that was one of the reasons why we moved it within the one hundred feet of our own
well because we have overlapping one hundred foot circles.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-The property that you are abutting is the Glen Lake Park
Incorporated.
MR. QUILLINAN-Yes it is.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Have they said anything to you, you are on the line and I assume
you are higher than the park itself.
MR. QUILLINAN-Yes I am. In a sense our family is the Park, Inc that is a private park that
our family maintains.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Okay that was the only answer I didn’t know who owned it I
didn’t realize we were dealing with such big hitters. Okay, great that’s the only questions that I
had.
SUPERVISOR STEC-Other questions from board members?
COUNCILMAN STROUGH-Is your well incased?
MR. QUILLINAN-Yes it is.
COUNCILMAN STROUGH-Good.
SUPERVISOR STEC-Is there anyone else that would like to comment on this public hearing
before I close it, seeing none I will close the public hearing and entertain a motion.

2.0 PUBLIC HEARING
PUBLIC HEARING – Proposed Water Transmission System Improvements in Area of
Richardson Street and Ryan Avenue Within Queensbury Consolidated Water District
PUBLICATION DATE: JUNE 25, 2009
SUPERVISOR STEC-We had set this public hearing a couple of weeks ago this is to replace
water mains in the area of Richardson Street and Ryan Avenue down off of Main Street in
West Glens Falls near Exit 18. The total amount not to be exceeded for this project is
engineered in the Map, Plan, and Report is $375,000. What is involved in this is I am just
looking for my notes on exactly where the distance is here it is. We are going to be replacing a
thousand feet of six inch water main on Richardson Street with new eight inch class fifty two
ductile iron pipe and replacement of existing nine hundred foot of six inch water main on Ryan
Avenue with a new six inch class fifty two ductile iron pipe. Sixteen new service connections
will be installed on Richardson Street and thirteen new service connections will be installed on
Ryan Avenue. At the conclusion of this public hearing we have a group of three resolutions to
consider. The first would be a Negative SEQRA Declaration the second would authorize the
actual improvement project and the third resolution essentially would place this project out to
bid. With that said is there any member of the public that would like comment on this public
hearing.
PLINEY TUCKER-This that you are doing on Richardson Street is not going to upset when
they do Corinth Road/Main Street?
SUPERVISOR STEC-In fact, Bob Hafner was here tonight in case there were any complicated
questions along those lines. Our Engineer Barton and Loguidice on this are also heavily
involved in the whole design of planning of Main Street so these two projects have been
coordinated.
MR. TUCKER-They will work together.
SUPERVISOR STEC-Whatever we are going to do here should not be upset by what is going
to happen on Main Street.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-This is an issue that came to light a few years ago that people on
Richardson Street had dirty water continually, continually. Last winter a lady approached me
and asked me about this then I talked to Bruce we couldn’t consider it or declare it an
emergency so we told her and the other neighbors that we would do it in the spring we are just
following through on our promise.
MR. TUCKER-I was just concerned sometimes you do something ahead of time and something
else comes up.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-It would have been nice if we could have coordinated it, but we
really can’t wait.
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 07-06-2009 MTG#27 113
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Chris dirty water doesn’t mean dirty water it is, what
sedimentation from the pipes degrading?
WATER ENGINEER, MR. HARRINGTON-It is the rust it is our end if you did the analysis
would be the iron in the water.
SUPERVISOR STEC-Is there any other public comment on this.
PAUL NAYLOR, DIVISION ROAD-Are you going to do in house or are you going out to
bid?
SUPERVISOR STEC-We are going to put it out to bid.
MR. NAYLOR-A couple thousand……
SUPERVISOR STEC-Is there any other public comment, seeing none I will close the public
hearing.

3.0PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR
MR. TUCKER-Spoke to the board regarding the action they took at the Town Board Workshop
Meeting.
SUPERVISOR STEC-Authorized borrowing one point six million dollars associated towards
the Main Street Project.
MR. TUCKER-The article in the paper stated part of it was for underground power.
SUPERVISOR STEC-The laterals from the main line out to the individual consumers the
service connections is one of the aspects that is eligible for part of the grant money.
MR. TUCKER-Questioned if part of this was with Senator Little’s help.
SUPERVISOR STEC-Betty Little did help get some grants that were eligible for use in this
way that is part of the money noting it is not all grant covered and is not all that they borrowed
for.
MR. TUCKER-Questioned if they lost the case with National Grid or did they win?
SUPERVISOR STEC-As it currently stands we won our case, but there is an appeal pending.
There is a time line that they are under with the courts and we are also under with the project
itself.
MR. TUCKER-Spoke regarding the four hundred and twenty nine thousand asked what kind of
a trail down Richardson Street?
SUPERVISOR STEC-That is a widening of Richardson Street from Main Street down to River
Street and the Feeder Canal Park on both sides it will be a bike lane this has been in the plans
for several years.
MR. TUCKER-Asked if there was a program where all the money was donated?
SUPERVISOR STEC-No.
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 07-06-2009 MTG#27 120
MR. TUCKER-Never?
COUNCILMAN BREWER-No, not that I am aware of.
MR. TUCKER-Asked if the Town paid to widen West Mountain Road?
COUNCILMAN BREWER-That is a County road we never did it.
SUPERVISOR STEC-That never got widened.
COUNCILMAN STROUGH-The original proposal was for a single lane we would have to use
eminent domain and take property in some cases I am sure it wouldn’t be given willingly.
Thinks the consensus was to widen West Mountain Road and make the shoulders more
adaptable to pedestrian and bicycle use that hopefully will happen in the next paving cycle.
MR. TUCKER-Has had a few people say to him don’t they know we are in a recession?
COUNCILMAN BREWER-We do know that this project has been ten, twelve, fourteen years
in the making. We have spent too much time and too much money and effort to stop until the
economy comes back…..
SUPERVISOR STEC-The other thing is the capsule written on that last time certainly didn’t
list the describing documents of what is involved in that project it goes far beyond bike
shoulders on Richardson Street. There is the Park and Ride lot is included in that as well as the
kiosk there is a lot more involved there. This was set in motion many years ago a lot of the
decisions have been made already and money has spent already so there is really no turning
back. Now is the time where after ten years of planning that the money is actually going to go
on the table some of it will be grants and some of it will be loans and some of it will be out of
fund balance.
MR. TUCKER-It should have been explained a little better so people could know what is going
on.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-There have been many public meetings over the years. Barton and
Loguidice held meetings at the Emergency Squad before they tore it down for three days they
had an open house. We had meetings at the Queensbury School had meetings at the Town
Hall, meetings at Glens Falls School it is coming to a head.
PAUL NAYLOR, DIVISION ROAD-Asked if they are sure there is enough room for a bike
path down Richardson Street.
SUPERVISOR STEC-This is what the Engineer is saying.
MR. NAYLOR-Disagrees with the Engineer doesn’t know where the land is that they are
getting it is private property is sure that this is a road by use what you have is what you own
hopes that this was researched with the Town Clerk.
COUNCILMAN STROUGH-Spoke with a constituent in his Ward road regarding every road
that is accepted by the Town as a Town road automatically goes to three rods.
MR. NAYLOR-In 1963 the State of New York said to the Town of Queensbury if you measure
all your roads and give us the mileage we will start paying you money. Then the Feds jumped
in and said we will give you money. They sent out two people they measured every road in the
Town of Queensbury. They took that resolution in a Town Board Meeting and took it in a
blanket resolution noting this is illegal they have to be taken one at a time there is no such thing
as a three rod road.
COUNCILMAN STROUGH-This is the way he has always understood it.
MR. JOHN SALVADOR-Spoke to the board regarding the three rod road noting they are
supposed to be three rods. Spoke to the board regarding the approval of the San Souci’s
Restaurant application that was approved at the last Town Board Meeting stated it is appalling
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 07-06-2009 MTG#27 121
of what they are doing with wastewater. The San Souci Restaurant is a commercial operation
they have commercial waste. They are regulated by the New York State Health Department
they are regulated by the DEC with regard to their wastewater discharge does not think the
board has jurisdiction in this matter. Read to the board the Design Manual that was prepared in
1989 regarding recent amendments to Article 43 of the Environmental Conservation Law
regarding this application will bring his concerns to the Planning Board regarding this
application.

The Town Board had a discussion promoting Queensbury. Thinks the County could put
more effort into prompting Queensbury for example the Queensbury Outlet Store
Center what is sometimes called the Million Half Mile, Aviation Mall, Northway Plaza,
Mark Plaza, Queensbury Plaza, great Hotels, and Restaurants. We have the retail
restaurants offerings along the Quaker Road Auto Sales Corridor a lot of this could be
addressed by the advertising being done with bed tax dollars on the County level.

Loftus and Ross is the Accounting Firm that we hire to do audits for the Volunteer Fire
Companies and also the Emergency Squads. I have one from Queensbury Central and
one from West Glens Falls Emergency Squad there is always an Executive Summary on
them with recommendations or comments about some deficiencies. Bay Ridge
Volunteer Fire Company’s audit was in last month Jack Perna, Treasurer has already
responded to some of the comments that our auditor has made noting that is refreshing.
Once we get these audits and we look at them we kind of wait for the Fire Companies or
Emergency Squads to respond I hope they do. I do not think they should be accepting
their audits until we get an answer.

Fourth of July hosted a severe fire up in Lake George this year noted he went up to it
after the third alarm went out. The North Queensbury Rescue Boat went up to fight it
because they could not access from the road as did Bay Ridge. While the rest of us
were enjoying our Fourth of July these guys were fighting a pretty devastating fire
while the building was not saved I think it could have been a lot worse.
