This application is for the following work. Conversion of two hotel units into one 1 BR suite. The scope of the project is to remove approx. 8.5' of existing wall separating the two units and constructing of approx. 25' of new 2" x 4" wall to create the two bedrooms. We will also be installing a mini kitchen which will consist of a two burner cooktop and a 24" SS sink installed into two base cabinets. I have spoken to Mike Palmer about the fire code issues and he informs me that we are within code on these items. His only concern was that we add one additions smoke detector. This will give us a total of three per unit. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have @ (518) 577-8838. Sincerely, ~~`~" Paul J. Gentner Facilities Manager Durham's Bay Resort New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Office of Environmental Quality, Region 5 232 Golf Course Road - P. O. Box 220, Warrensburg, New York 12885-0220 Phone: (518) 623-1238 FAX: (518) 623-1311 Website: www.dec.state.ny.us May 2, 2007 Mr. John Salvador, Jr. 37 Alexy Lane Lake George, NY 12845 Re: Dunham's Bay Lodge SPDES Permit No. NY-0131601 Queensbury (T), Warrens (Co.) Dear Mr. Salvador: ~~ Alexander B. Grannis Commissioner This is in response to your letter and our recent telephone conversations regarding the above referenced facility. Your concern focuses on the proposal before the Town of Queensbury (Queensbury) to convert the existing motel units which do not have kitchenettes into motel units with kitchenette facilities. Further, you noted concern with respect to how that proposal would affect wastewater generation and State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) Permit No. NY-013161, issued by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC or Department) for the subject facility. I have reviewed Department files and have also discussed the Dunham's Bay Lodge proposal with the Queensbury Building and Code Enforcement Office, who provided a copy of the subject proposed modifications. You are correct that SPDES Permit No. NY-0131601 authorizes a sanitary discharge to groundwater of 1,920 gallons per day (gpd). You are also correct that the discharge was based upon six 4-unit motel buildings and a 20 percent flow reduction for the use of water saving fixtures. DEC Design Standards for Wastewater Treatment Works in the Lake George Drainage Basin, dated July 1989 (LG Standards), provided guidance on wastewater generation for system design. As we have discussed, the LG Standards Table 3-B, Expected Hydraulic Loading Rates, provides for 100 gpd per motel unit without kitchenette and 150 gpd per motel unit with kitchenette. Both of these loadings may be reduced by twenty percent when water saving fixtures are used. Your letter and the information provided by Queensbury agree that the proposal is to convert two adjacent single bedroom units into a single 2 bedroom unit with kitchenette. Each motel building may undergo this proposed transformation. I have provided the following table to show wastewater design flows based upon the relevant information: Facility Type LG Standards Water Saving Units per Total Number Total Design Design Flow Fixture Building of Units Flow (gpd/unit) Design Flow ~ (6 building) (gpd/unit x # (gpd/unit) units) Motel unit 100 80 4 24 1,920 (w/o kitchenette) Motel unit 150 120 2 12 1,440 with kitchenette Mr. John Salvador, Jr. May 2, 2007 Re: Dunham's Bay Lodge SPDES Permit No. NY-0131601 Queensbury (T), Warrens (Co.) Page 2 You will note that the above table contradicts your claim that the proposed motel changes would yield a 50 percent increase in wastewater design flow. In fact, based upon the conditions presented and the LG Standards, the proposed changes would result in an 80 gpd per building design flow reduction, or, in other terms, a 25 percent reduction in total calculated design flow. Actual flows will vary, however, a reduction inflow would remain as the expected result from the presented proposal. Your argument that motel units with kitchenettes could potentially be used in a manner of occupancy less transient in nature, such as a substitute for an apartment or other more long-term housing, is a matter that you should discuss with Queensbury. Further, questions on Queensbury's definition of a motel and/or motel unit, as you have quoted to me, and how it applies to the Dunham's Bay Lodge proposal will also have to be addressed to Queensbury. Other concerns with the regulation of transient lodging may be addressed with the New York State Department of Health. Sincerely, __. ~~ -- __ -- Michael A.

I have reviewed your letter along with Building Permit applications 2007-87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 93 and 94. The property in question is located within a Rural Residential, (RR-3A) zoning district within the Town of Queensbury. Your current use of the property is classified as a MOTEL per the Town of Queensbury Zoning Ordinance. A motel use within the RR-3A zoning district is not an allowable use by right. As such, your current use of the property is considered to be a pre- existing, non-conforming use. As I understand your proposal, as outlined in your letter, you wish to convert the 24 cottage units into 12 cottage units all within the existing 6 buildings located southerly of the main lodge. Also, I understand your intentions to include the completion of the locker room facilities adjacent to the indoor pool, the addition of a 1 bedroom suite on the third level and the addition of a 260 sf walk-in-cooler adjacent to the existing kitchen all of which are located in the main lodge. Additionally, based on our previous conversations and my subsequent conversations with Tom Jarrett, PE of Jarrett/Niartin Engineering regarding your project, it is my understanding that your project may include construction of additional outdoor seating areas and an additional pool facility. None of these items have been formally presented to this office for a determination; however, I will offer my position on the same, which may be subject to change pending the submission of additional detailed information. As referenced above, the Durham's Bay Resort complex is apre-existing, non-conforming use within the RR-3A zone. No expansion, enlargement of services or facilities, increase in intensity of use or facilities may occur without the granting of a Use Variance by the Town of Queensbury Zoning Board of Appeals. To date, no such approvals have been applied for or granted for your project. "Ho1ne of Natural Benirti/... A Good Place to Line" While the conversion of the 24 seasonal use cottage units to 12 seasonal use cottage units does not, on the surface, appear to represent an expansion, should the conversion of the units include conversion from seasonal use to year round use, such a change will constitute an increase in the intensity of the use and be subject to a Use Variance prior to commencement. It is uncleaz to me, from the plans that you have submitted, if such a seasonal to year round conversion is planned for the cottage units. Please provide clarification on this matter so that a final determination can be made relative to your pending Building Permit applications. The addition of a 1 bedroom suite (Bridal Suite), a 260 sf walk-in-cooler, a pool facility and outdoor seating areas constitute an expansion of the use and an enlazgement of the facilities and shall be subject to a Use Vaziance prior to commencement. This letter will serve as a written notification of my determination and written notice to STOP WORK on any areas identified as being subject to a Use Variance if any such work has begun. I also note, as referenced in your letter, that your proposal includes cosmetic improvements to the restaurant and kitchen areas for, what I can only assume to be an attempt to make the restaurant more appealing to the general public in addition to your lodge guests. Please confirm that your project site can support the pazking requirements for the lodging use along with the restaurant use in the event that both uses are operating at full capacity independently of each other. Should you have any additional questions or comments please do not hesitate to contact this office. We await your submittal of the requested information.
