PRODUCTS BUILDING ADDITION
OPENED
PUBLICATION DATE: October 2, 2009
TOM NACE REPRESENTING APPLICANT
SUPERVISOR STEC-This is a one property two tax maps tax parcels a sewer district
extension for South Queensbury Sewer at the request of the owner of the property who is
actually developing it right now. We are going to have two resolutions for this the first
one is involving a SEQRA determination and the second one would potentially be for the
actual approval of the sewer district. With that said, I will open the public hearing I see
Mr. Nace is here on behalf of the applicant do you want to add anything to what I said?
MR. NACE-I have nothing to add the facts are in the report if there are any questions I
will be glad to answer them.
SUPERVISOR STEC-I will declare this public hearing open if there are any members of
the public that would like to ask any questions about this sewer district extension I just
ask that you raise your hand, I will call on you. Are there any questions from Town
Board members?
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-This is just tying into the line that runs by that building
right.
MR. NACE-Yes it is. There is a pressure sewer that runs up the Niagara Mohawk right
of way it is simply tying this one parcel or now it is one parcel into that line.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Is it on their side of the road Tom or the other side.
MR. NACE-It is on the northeast side of Quaker Road along the power line it is actually
in the power line right of way.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Tom is the old building hooked up?
MR. NACE-No, it is not presently it will be hooked up with this project.
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 10-19-2009 MTG# 37 276
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-That is what confused me because I thought the old one was
already hooked to it.
MR. NACE-It was not. If you look at the old district this one parcel was left out of the
original district I think probably at the request of the property owner.
SUPERVISOR STEC-Is there any other public comment or questions from the Town
Board, seeing none I will close the public hearing.

COUNCILMAN BREWER

Feeder Dam Park has been top soiled, seeded a path has been dug for a walkway
down to the canal starting to look very nice if you get a chance go down and take
a look.
COUNCILMAN STROUGH
?
Has had the occasion very recently to meet a lot of people in Ward 3 two things
keep coming to the surface the flyers in the blue and orange bags, we are working
on them and the other is noise issues never sure on how to handle those maybe it
is something we should take a look at in the near future.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI
?
Attended the Statewide Soil and Water Conservation District Conference that was
held in Lake George. On Sunday, led a tour highlighting some of the projects
that Soil and Water are doing in our area. Specifically Glen Lake we have the
new dock in and new dry hydrant. The dredging that was done at the outlet end of
Glen Lake. Hovey Pond the walkway that went through the wetlands that Soil
and Water did with DEC dollars. There are two projects that we stopped and
showed them what we would be doing. On Quaker and Aviation where the
Northway Plaza is there is a lawn area on the corner that is going to take one of
those major cement introvertors so that the water that comes down off of Miller
Hill will hit it and drop the sediment in before it goes down Route 9 to Halfway
Brook. At the Enterprise Auto across from Price Chopper that parcel has been
cleaned up and ready to accept a couple of those large introvertors.
?
The Recreation Department will be brush hogging Meadowbrook Road over to
the wooded area so we can start the walkway trail.
?
Asked Supervisor Stec to give Mike Hill a phone call regarding Tire Warehouse
to get the easement signed so they can fix the property regarding the drainage.

REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 10-19-2009 MTG# 37 292
?
Assembly Point Road was paved a few weeks ago with no issues or incidents the
Town Highway Department did a great job.
?
The dock did go in at Glen Lake the dry hydrant is also in, spoke to some of the
firemen who said they have tested it and it works very well. Questions have been
raised regarding the Aquatics Management District. Throughout the years we
have given Glen Lake a little over a hundred thousand dollars to control the weeds
mostly milfoil, which again this year it is actually becoming a problem for them.
What this management district will do is it will generate a tax for the residents of
Glen Lake, but it is a control tax so everyone in the lake management district will
have to contribute to it, but at the end of the day they will always have money for
aquatic management control. We, as the Town won’t have to be paying out a lot
of money to keep the weeds down. There is a holdup in that with the dock at
Glen Lake that is used by people that don’t live on the lake we as the Town have
to come up with a price tag for that, that will be assessed every year as part of the
tax district we are somewhere in-between five and ten thousand dollars. Once we
get to that number and the Glen Lake folks accept it we will be moving forward
with that district.
?
Thursday night there will be a Meet the Candidates Night hosted by the League of
Women Voters to be held at the Scoville Learning Center, which is on the ACC
Campus at seven o’clock would love to have people come out and meet the
candidates.
?
As I have been going out and talking to people one of the big issues is that they
have said they have never seen so many signs out before unfortunately I think
they are a necessary evil for anybody who is running for office. We have fifteen
days left and hopefully by Friday after the election they will be cleaned up.

Glen Lake dock project is finished talking to the installers that did the dock they
said they are starting to see others that are asking to tie in a dry hydrant design
into a dock such as the situation they are doing for the Town of Queensbury out
there next to Docksider Restaurant.
?
A budget workshop to be held next week to finalize the Town’s Budget and set a
public hearing on November 2, 2009 for November 16, 2009. The grand total of
all the different funds from highway, water, wastewater, lighting, cemetery, fire
and EMS is about twenty six point eight million dollars. The total is up just under
two percent I think it is one point nine eight percent over the 2009 adopted
budget. If you have anything to communicate to me or Barb or department heads
in advance as to an area that you want an answer to we may be able to get that
answer to you before the Town Board Workshop.
?
Attended with Councilman Strough the Lake George Watershed Coalition
Seminar where they presented various awards for individual, corporate, and
government. The Lake George Watershed Coalition is compromised of all the
municipalities that are around Lake George. The Coalition recognized the Town
of Queensbury in the government category awarded the Frank Leonbruno
Stewardship Award for the proactive leadership that the Town has taken in
particular in the last year with the Zoning Code and the pursuit of the Septic
Management District. Presented a framed transcript of the letter that Thomas
Jefferson wrote to his daughter in 1791, where he is describing to his daughter the
beauty of Lake George.
