1987-07-14 2�2 TOWN BOARD MEETING JULY 14, 1987 TOWN BOARD MEMBERS HEARING - Toomey's Property Sunnyside Mr. Daniel Olson-Deputy Supervisor Mr. George Kurosaka-Councilman Mr. Stephen Borgos-Councilman Mr. Ronald Montesi-Councilman - Mrs. Betty Monahan-Councilman Mr. Wilson Mathias-Town Counsel ABSENT: Mrs. Frances Walter PRESS: W WSC, POST STAR DEPUTY SUPERVISOR OLSON-Asked if the owners of the property in question were notified of this meeting and asked if they were present...they were. TOWN CLERK-Yes, the letter was hand delivered, and notice is on file in the Town Clerk's Office. DEPUTY SUPERVISOR-We have a complaint about a structure at Lake Sunnyside and referred to Town Counsel. TOWN COUNSEL-The Town of Rueensbury has a Local Law which deals with unsafe structures in the town and has a method for requiring the owner of the property to demolish and remove the debris from an unsafe structure and upon the failure to do that within the time frame set up by the local law, upon notice and a hearing the Town Board can make a determination that the property is in fact an unsafe structure and have the town or engage a contractor to demolish or remove the debris and the charges for that get imposed on the land owners real property taxes. The purpose of this evening is to comply with the requirement of an opportunity for the owners of the property to have their chance to tell the Town Board their side of things. My suggestion is simply for the Building Inspector to give a brief recount of what has transpired...what the building is, its location, and the parties involved. MACK DEAN-Building and Code Enforcement Officer-Essentially since the occurrence of the fire the Building Department had notified the Toomey's, according to my records a little over a year ago, since then there has been some work done on it, very little was done over the winter time which is understandable, with the snow and the dangerous nature of taking down steel etc...however we felt that even though the building has been posted it still presents a constant danger to those who, even though they may have been trespassing technically on the property. Things were not moving along in a timely fashion, subsequently several letters were sent...very little had been done up until the July 4th weekend and as of this evening most of the steel is down and most of it has been hauled away. There is still considerable amount of work to be done to make sure it is acceptable, environmentally and health wise. COUNCILMAN BORGOS-Are you checking this daily now or periodically , like once every couple days? MACK DEAN-Yes, certain members of the department have been by it almost on a daily basis. COUNCILMAN BORGOS-You feel it is progressing at a normal rate for this kind of work? MACK DEAN-Since last week it has been acceptable but we have been dealing with this situation for months. Even discounting six months of bad winter weather when it was unsafe to work there...so it has dragged on and we have ignored it for a length of time and felt that we really needed to take action and bring it to the board for their determination. COUNCILMAN BORGOS-You think it is underway now? DEPUTY SUPERVISOR-For the benefit of the Board, we have a letter dated July 6, 1986, November 3, 1986, December 1, 1986 a violation notice from the Building Department, another letter dated December 8, 1986 and another dated May 26, 1987 from Mr. Dean. MACK DEAN-I believe the latest letter dated May would contain my recommendation to the Board to take appropriate action. COUNCILMAN MONTESI-The Town Board and The Building Department has certainly given this property owner ample time to remove what is considered unsafe and hazardous condition. What would you envision another couple of weeks, that it should be back where it should be. MACK DEAN-I would like to sit down, depending on the outcome of the Board's decision, and establish a time table in writing plus all the ramifications, what we are facing should the work not be completed. COUNCILMAN MONTESI-I think it is important that you as the Code Enforcement Officer 1 convey to the Toomey's specifically what the end result of their labor should be and if they are working in an orderly fashion, I guess we ought to give them a little more time. COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Howard, I know you have had several men working on that putting in a lot of hours lately, would you be able to give any kind of rough estimation of when you think they might finish...I know you have the worst ahead of you with that floor and that metal and everything? MRS. TOOMEY-Stated that most of the steel was gone, but they were having trouble getting rid of the steel, they won't take it at the dump...noted that besides that it was arson and we have no insurance so we are doing it as we get the money and thought they deserved a little consideration. COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Asked about the boathouse part? HOWARD TOOMEY-They took the steel down today and they are working on it. COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-I think it is important to get that floor out of there, it is hazardous. MRS. TOOMEY-Anyone in there is trespassing. DEPUTY SUPERVISOR-Asked Mr. Dean what the percentage of debris was left at this time? MACK DEAN-The total amount that needs to be removed is about 45%. The northwest end needs to come out, they were self supporting walls-the main floor of the building and some concrete walls. COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Asked Mr. Dean if they were requiring the floor of the middle building or the pier on the dock be taken out, they are all solid concrete. MACK DEAN-No, the free standing walls and proper fill to grade off the property. COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Asked if a fence was require at this point in Mr. Dean's opinion? MACK DEAN-The property should have been barricaded from day one. MRS. TOOMEY-We had it posted. We don't want people in there. DEPUTY SUPERVISOR-Stated that the Board and the Building Code Enforcement Officer would like to hear from the Toomey's as to what their plan is, what they feel they can accomplish. MRS. TOOMEY-We are working on it as fast as we can...my son is doing it a little at a time. We want to fence it off and we don't want anybody in there until we decide who we want in. DEPUTY SUPERVISOR-Stated that the Town Board is understanding of their problem but the problem is there and they want to try to work together with you. COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Suggested that their son Kevin who has been supervising the work sit down with Mack Dean and work out a time frame. HOWARD TOOMEY-Agreed to this. DEPUTY SUPERVISOR-Said to the Toomey's that they have every opportunity to address this Town Board and you plan to do so, its important that the Board hears from you as to how you can handle this problem. The Board has to make the determination. HOWARD TOOMEY-Noted that he will speak with his son about sitting down with Mack Dean and agree on a date when it will be done. 2 DEPUTY SUPERVISOR-The Board can set that date this evening with a resolution based on this hearing if the Board determines that there is an unsafe structure there that there is a situation dangerous to the health and welfare to the people who live in the area and order that a fence be put around the structure. They give you 60 days to complete from back in June, the date of completion being August 23, 1987. COUNCILMAN BORGOS-We have already made the determination that it is an unsafe structure and what I would like to see immediately within the next day or two is a fence up. Asked the Toomey's if the problem with the fence was having to buy it? MR. TOOMEY-Thats one problem...asked if Mr. Borgos expected him to put up a fence in two days. { COUNCILMAN MONTESI-We have given you a year and you ignored all the notices. MRS. TOOMEY-We put up signs and they tore them down as fast as we put them up. COUNCILMAN BORGOS-Stated that the town is concerned that people who shouldn't be there don't have access, at least a fence would prohibit the access. The fence can be put up in such a way that a section can be left to unhook a wire swing it open...it will be a relatively simple thing to do and this would give you more time to work on taking it apart. MRS. TOOMEY-Asked if he thought a fence would keep people out. COUNCILMAN BORGOS-I am concerned about the 2, 3 or 4 year old. MR. TOOMEY-Asked if there was any problem with his son talking with the Building Inspector? COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Stated that he would vote for that as long as it is done by August 23, 1987 which is sixty days from the notice. DEPUTY SUPERVISOR OLSON-I think it would be proper for your son, Mr. Toomey, to work along with the Building Inspector.

TOWN BOARD MEETING RECONVENED OPEN FORUM 8:25 P.M. MR. CHARLES ADAMSON-North Queensbury-Referring to a small claim on assessment...Asked Mr. Borgos what RCNLD on the mass appraisal module mean? MR. BORG OS-Reconciled perhaps? MR. CHARLES ADAM SON-Re constructed land development...My main question is where do we go from here? Cuomo will sign a bill that will allow sewage in the lake shore basin, this does raise the question what are the next steps...we are concerned because of the recent 1987 sole assessor reassessment there are a lot of people who are on the border line as far as paying taxes are concerned...eventually we will have a sewer district up there that is worrying us but it is in the future...it does raise the question we need some funding, I hope that the Town Board comes up with some type of plan and action, on this Mrs. Walter assured me that within the year that you have budgeted for an engineer to start the process. COUNCILMAN BORGOS-You may be happy to know that the States monies for (30% for the operation and maintenance of sewer system has been renewed for another year.) MR. CHARLES ADAMSON-We have looked at bringing North Queensbury Sewage to Glens Falls by connecting any pipe that goes to Sunnyside to North Queensbury...but is the sizing 2�6 of the pipe that serves Hiland an issue at this point or can that be decided at a future date? COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Noted that the Town Board had reviewed the engineering studies that were done in the past...noted that Hiland can't oversize their pipes, they know how much they will use for 1100 residences...questioned if it would be better to go down Ridge Road or Bay Road..another alternative being, building a plant in No. Queensbury...I do not proposed this as fact; another alternative we can consider is to put in holding tanks and purchased trucks and those would comprise a sewer transportation district...we need to get the information together to see what will be the most cost effective method...reviewed the size of pipes to be used for Hiland Park...what is exciting is that with the change in the Lake George Law we now have other alternatives such as smaller treatment plants...we will have to go out for proposals from different engineering firms to assist the Town. DEPUTY SUPERVISOR DANIEL OLSON-The Law looks like it will take effect the first. of the year... MR. CHARLES ADAMSON-Noted that he would hope that holding tanks would be mentioned more often as an alternative... COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Noted that there was an idea that with holding tanks those would be trucked to the City and the City would have a tank that would be placed into and be used when the plant needed more flow... MR. BOB HUNTZ-Sunnyside Road-I built my home in the past few years and I would like to complement Mr. Dean's Office, they was very cooperative and helped in so many ways. Regarding Hiland Park First, I think an approval of Hiland Park is going in the right direction... the one concern that I have relates to the placement of an access road onto Sunnyside Road, the road originally was placed next to the Cemetery and now for safety reasons it has been moved been placed about across the street from my house, so I have a personnel concern...if moved you will have within 300 feet, two entrances onto Sunnyside Road which I think will cause a traffic problem, I just wanted to let you know that this is my concern. MRS. NANCY KEATING-GARRISON ROAD-Noted that the traffic on Garrison was very heavy and is a speed way from the City of Glens Falls...there will be young children walking to school this fall using this street. Side walks go from Glen to North but stop there, people on our street are for sidewalks...requested a four way stop sign at the corner of North and Garrison...we will supply a petition requesting these changes...I would also suggest either sidewalks or a line going both sides of Garrison for a walk or bikeway...noted that the new Stop and Save on Quaker Road will also increase traffic... COUNCILMAN MONTESI- Dr. Thompson had requested a stop sign on Garrison Road, this request was written to the Sheriff, it was then taken to the County Safety Board and they did not like four way stop signs, I have spoken to Paul Naylor and Mr. Wilson Mathias the town in certain areas can put up stop signs with a local law without the blessing of the Sheriff's Dept. this is being checked out now... COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-Mr. Naylor how does a resident get a side walk in front of his house? MR. PAUL NAYLOR-A special district would have to be formed... COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Before School starts the Sewer Contractor will be paving that road, once that paving is done, Mr. Naylor and I can stop by and look at the road in terms of striping to see if it is possible to do so. COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-How will the lines help the children in the winter when the lines are covered? MRS. KEATING-It will help at least 3/4 of a year. MR. WILLIAM BODENWEISER-FIRE MARSHAL-I was charged by Mrs. Walter several weeks ago to investigate the property on Big Bay Road owned by the Town of Queensbury and infringed upon by Mr. Threw, we have an agreement with Mr. Threw to clean up the property as soon as possible. He has been by Mr. Naylor and myself that he can no longer keep his equipment ._. on Town property. I have given a letter of intent from Mr. Threw to Mr. Montesi he is working in good favor I think we have got to give him a little more time. I think a letter should go back to him indicating the material on our property should be removed immediately. COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Read the letter of intent from Mr. Threw...noting that the material will be removed in two to three weeks...we have a request from the Board of Cooperative Extension Services who are doing retraining of Ciba Geigy Employees to use heavy equipment, they have requested the use of our sandpit to do training, this is the same area where Mr. Threw has parked his equipment. MR. A. J. CROSSIE-Homeowner in Queensbury-I am here to support the Hiland Park Development it is a great project. Noted that he would like new subdivisions to have side walks and drainage included. COUNCILMAN BORGOS -If a report had been submitted regarding the gravel bank on Route 149, I understand it is getting worse... COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-I think it will take a meeting between the Town Board, the Zoning Board the Planning Board and the Zoning Dept. they have all been involved, we have to look back historically. ..I understand that the original permit holder is leasing it to two other individuals, I do not know if that is legal or not, I think we will need the attorney ... Noted that in regard to the sidewalk issue, we have had people come in here and say that they do not want them—they want the rural atmosphere. COUNCILMAN OLSON-The gentlemen made a statement about subdivisions ... in the last few years the Boards have adopted rules for subdivisions and they have different procedures now, roads have to be put in, drainage has to be approved by the Highway Supt....there are many more improvements placed into subdivisions than there were in the past.

MEETING REOPENED DISCUSSION HELD BEFORE VOTE: COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-did not see it mentioned in the findings that the recreation areas 111-- would be open to the public? MR. BOWEN-In the Draft Statement Figure 1-3 the map shows the trail systems..spoke about the cross country trail systems and bike trails... they will be open to the public however in regard to the cross country trail the public will not be allowed to just park anywhere...the jogging and bike trails will run along County and Town Roads, and Hiland Park Roads which will be Town dedicated. COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-At one time it was discussed but not mentioned in here that you would make an arrangement with the Recreation Dept. that some of your facilities could be used as reduced fees, you would work with the Town in that respect, is that your intention? MR. BOWEN-The Town 242 recreation dept. chose one set of items which was a land gift and not the other thing, this was in a memo of March 21st....COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-The Recreation Commission passed that motion and the motion was the hope that it would not preclude some discussion with you in the future with special arrangements with the Recreation Dept. MR. LEMERY-Under the conditions of approval of the PUD relating to real property Paragraph 14 of Draft and Final EIS if referenced into conditions...COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-I do have questions regarding the language in the Findings Statements it is in the PUD Statement perhaps it does not have to be in the findings statement, the land gift on page 3 6B consisting of 60 and 70 acres of land...in our conversation with Mr. Bowen in addition to that he is going to donate two areas for parking and a walking easement to connect one of those parking areas to that sensitive Half - Way Brook corridor...MR. LEMERY- You will find in paragraph 10 an easement provides an area along Halfway Brook Corridor. COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-But we will also need a walking easement from the parking area along Meadowbrook Road to the Corridor, that was not specified in there and I think it should be. ...page 6 in the Findings Statement-Mitigation measurers proposed include signalization at four intersections in the project ...four are mentioned and in the PUD five are mentions ...why? TOWN COUNSEL-In the discussions with the owner of Hiland Park in negotiating the terms and conditions contained in the resolution to approve the PUD it was determined that those five intersections were to serve as base studies the one that has been left off was not included in the original findings statement because after discussion between the developers experts and our experts it was determined that the impact on traffic of that development was so small that it was unlikely that the last intersection at Cronin and Ridge would be effected...as I understand it, it is not likely that signilization is likely to occur there, it was there just to provide protection just in case things do go in that direction. The resolution adopting the SEQRA really completes your task as Lead Agency under your review of SEQRA, I think to my mind what is controlling here is the legislative action which is next, to create the PUD itself and as part of that you will specify conditions and we have listed those.

The action under consideration is- the approval of a Planned Unit Development ("PUD") zoning change in the Town of Queensbury, Warren County for the Hiland Park project. The proposed PUD will provide for residential, condominium, and congregate care housing development, as well as commercial and sports facilities on a 713 ± acre parcel of land. fronting on Haviland, Meadowbrook, Rockwell and Sunnyside Roads. In addit-ion to the Town Board zoning approvals, other governmental agencies having major environmental permit jurisdiction over aspects of the proposal include the state Department of Environmental Conservation ("DEC") (primarily under ECL Article 15 - water permits; ECL Article 24 - wetland permits; Article 17 - -- r SPEDES discharge permit) , and the state Department of Health ` (sewage treatment plant, extension of Water District) . The Final Environmental Impact Statement was filed on July 2, 1987. 1 2 . The Town Board has given due consideration to the Final Environmental impact Statement ("FEIS") ; 3 . The Town Board has complied with the requirements of SEQRA as set forth in Article 8 of the ECL and 6 NYCRR Part 617; I 4 . Consistent with social, economic and other essential i considerations from among the reasonable alternatives thereto, the proposed rezoning to be approved is one which minimizes or avoids adverse environmental effects to the maximum extent i practicable, including the effects disclosed in the environmental impact statements adopted in this case;- 5. Consistent with social, economic and other essential considerations, to the maximum extent practicable, adverse environmental impacts revealed in the environmental impact statement process will be minimized or avoided by incorporating as conditions to the decision those mitigative measures which were identified as practicable; 2 6. The facts and conclusions set Forth in--the environmental impact statements which were relied upon by the Town Board to i support its decision to approve the Planned Unit zoning change and adopt the relevant EISs, and the social, economic and other factors and standards which formed the basis of its decisions are set forth, as follows: , (a) As discussed in the EISs, the Applicant proposes to develop its PUD so as to maintain 364.2 acres,. or 51% of the PUD, in an "open space" condition, thus harmonizing the project with the low density local environment and the open space character of the local surroundings; (b) The Applicant has proposed a gift of land to the Town in lieu of a recreation fee, consisting of between 60 and 70 acres of land, the precise amount to be determined after a survey in the winter of 1987-88. The land to be conveyed (See Map, DEIS Fig. 1-11) is the environmentally significant and sensitive Halfway Brook corridor, which the DEC has classified as wetlands and mature forest. As a result, virtually all valuable and sensitive natural resources on the site are protected forever from development. The land gift proposal has been accepted by the Town Board in full i satisfaction of the developer's obligations to provide recreational land or an in lieu fee under the Town's Local 3 a Y9F Law No. 6 of 1986. An easement is being provided to the state Department of Environmental Conservation, for �fi-skiing access on a portion of the donated parcel adjoining Halfway Brook. The developer will commit to providing these lands as shown in the EIS at PUD approval and the formal conveyances to the' Town will occur at the time of the first site plan approval. To protect this sensitive area, however,' public access to the donated parcel (other than the DEC fishing easement) will be restricted until the golf . course has been constructed and stabilized; or for three r years following PUD approval, whichever is sooner. (c) The project complies with the planning goals and objectives previously deemed desireable for proposed Plan Unit Developments under the standards of the Zoning Ordinance (Article 15, Section 15.812) . In providing for a mix of single family, condominium and congregate care housing, among other amenities, the proposed PUD complies with the stated goals of providing "a .maximum choice in housing environment and type, occupancy. . . , lot sizes and common facilities". The project also complies with the objectives of providing "more usable open space and recreation areas. , . tand] more convenient locations of i accessory and commercial uses", by providing for retail t convenience shopping for PUB residents, an 18 hole golf course, hiking/walking trails, and a sports complex; 4 a • aye�. (d) The project also complies with ether important planning objectives set forth in the Town zoning ordinance relative to PUD approval. As describe `�•— PP d in detail in the EISs, the project conforms to the Town's planning objectives set forth in the Zoning ordinance, particularly the requirements of providing "a development pattern which preserves outstanding natural 'topography and geologic features, scenic vistas, trees, and prevents the disruption of natural drainage patterns" , "an efficient use of land resulting in small networks of utilities and streets" and "a development plan in harmony with land use intensity, transportation facilities, and community facilities objectives of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan". (e) The EIS 's approved in the review of this matter adequately address the need for this project, and establish that there is a need for housing and a "recreationally- oriented" community in the Glens Falls/Queensbury region, and that currently there is no other PUD or similar area which offers a similar mix of open space, recreational opportunities, traditional housing, retirement housing, services to the elderly and commercial support facilities. (f) In the FEIS and a further Memorandum of Understanding between Applicant and the Town Board adopted on July 1, 1987 i 5 i �Y" F (a copy of which is attached hereto as Attachment "A") , the Applicant has adequately addressed and proposed td "1m'ttI§ate potential significant environmental impacts concerning water s � upply and sewerage. The Memorandum mitigates potential impacts by providing that the Town will provide water and sewerage capacities sufficient to serve Hiland Park and Vhat Applicant will financially support those municipal services as discussed in the Memorandum. (g) Potential adverse impacts on local traffic patterns will be mitigated by the measures set forth in the impact statements and an additional study performed jointly during the course of FEIS review by the consultants for the Applicant and the Town. Mitigation measures proposed include signalization at four intersections in the project area (Bay/Cronin, Bay/Haviland, Meadowbrook/Cronin, and Meadowbrook/Haviland) and turning lane improvements at the Bay/Cronin intersection. The applicant will fund these mitigation measures through a pro rata share of the needed improvements determined by traffic studies which will determine the timing and need of improvements and apportion responsibility among the several developers in the affected area for increased traffic mitigation measures. The impact statements set forth base case (current) and projected traffic studies which show that the improvements will be needed in the 1992 1994 timeframe. However, the 6 ;L VP 6_ improvements will be constructed when the future traffic studies dictate. _- (h) Other adverse impacts have been mitigated by the imposition of appropriate conditions in the PUD approval. These include (i) 'the developer's agreement that all , mitigative measures set forth in the impact statements will be incorporated into the project, even if not specifically mentioned in the PUD approval resolution; (ii) that further development in the 14 acre "reserved" area- will be consistent with the uses and densities allowed in the other portions of the approved PUD, (iii) that developer will reimburse the Town for actual costs of EIS review not to exceed $ ,�w, (iv) that all utilities will be undergrounded, except for the WitV electric sub-transmission lines on Haviland Road feeding the area, (v) that the developer will adhere to the overall uses, densities and patterns of development uses specified in the PUD, with the phasing of development dictated by market conditions, and (vi) that any use of pesticides will meet all regulatory requirements of the state DEC. (i) The Final EIS has been accepted by the Town Board by Resolution No. 201 adopted at its meeting on July 2 , 1987, based on the Board's previous review of the FEIS submitted by the Applicant, supplemental information provided by the 7 Applicant at the request of the Board concprning archaeological impacts and traffic' impacts, and the '* recommendations of the Town's expert consultants that the `�— Town Board accept the EIS and supplemental information as complete.
