2.0 PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR
JOHN SALVADOR, NORTH QUEENSBURY-Spoke to the board referred to the local
government technical series published by the New York State Department of State, Titled
Zoning Enforcement regarding the Zoning Enforcement Officer powers are limited to
“enforcement of the Zoning Law as it is written”. Spoke to the board regarding the two recent
projects the Schermerhorn project on Gurney Lane and the Hayes & Hayes project on Dixon
Road where the Town Zoning Administrator exceeded his authority to enforce the written work
of the Zoning Law or the Code. The Hayes and Hayes Dixon Road project is burdened by a
written positive SEQRA Declaration in addition the Planning Board resolved that the
Community Development Department is hereby authorized and directed to file and publish the
positive declaration as required by the SEQRA regulations. The applicant is required to prepare
a Draft Environmental Impact Statement also that a scoping session shall be scheduled at the
applicants request to establish the issues to be discussed as part of the Draft Environmental
Impact Statement.
SUPERVISOR STEC-Asked the date of what Mr. Salvador is reading from?
MR. SALVADOR-September 28, 2004.
SUPERVISOR STEC-It is almost seven years ago it is a different project noted that this isn’t the
form to make an appeal regarding that.
COUNCILMAN BREWER-Asked what he would like the board to do.
MR. SALVADOR-I want you to recognize that the Zoning Administrator is acting beyond his
authority.
SUPERVISOR STEC-I think we disagree with you and I am quite certain that our Attorney
would disagree with you. The positive dec….
COUNCILMAN BREWER-That is on a project that was tabled it is not here now in front of the
board so it is irrelevant.
MR. SALVADOR-The point, I would like to make is that the positive declaration goes with the
land.
SUPERVISOR STEC-Our Attorney’s and everyone else that is involved in this on the Towns
end would disagree with you.
MR. SALVADOR-I would like to make the point that the positive declaration goes with the land
the only thing that has changed is the nature of the project it is a different kind of a residential
development.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-The original positive declaration was because the homes were
going to be built on what was being considered a wetland now all of the duplexes have moved to
the front part of the property and leaving the back part vacant.
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 05-02-2011 MTG #13 559
GEORGE WINTERS, 4 JOHN CLENDON ROAD, QUEENSBURY-Spoke to the board
regarding his concern that the County is going to put two Sherriff’s Officer in one car to cut
down on gas in the Town of Queensbury. Asked why would the Town of Queensbury want two
officers in one car?
SUPERVISOR STEC-That is a good question for the Sheriff. I understand what the Sheriff is
trying to do he is trying to cut down on fuel consumption as gas goes to four bucks a gallon. I
don’t want to speculate what the Sheriff’s rational is I don’t want to put words in the Sheriffs
mouth.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-I think we have four cars designated for Queensbury.
SUPERVISOR STEC-We have more than our share of police coverage from the Sheriff’s Office
we do benefit a great deal from the fact that they all go and come from almost a geographic
center.
MR. WINTERS-You have the Troopers up here, too. I believe that this is a waste of money for
the Town of Queensbury.
SUPERVISOR STEC-It is a County expense we are not paying you don’t think it is an efficient
use of the Sheriffs budget to have two guys in one car?
MR. WINTERS-Right.
SUPERVISOR STEC-I will be talking to the Sheriff in the next few days I will ask him about
that. Often times they would like that second car to arrive on a scene anyways for backup if two
deputies arrive at the same scène in the same car that need for that second car backup he is
making a calculated assessment as to providing the best coverage at the best dollar as the gas
changes when it comes back down I am sure he will want to go back the other way.
MR. WINTERS-Spoke to the board regarding giving back almost half of the assessment to the
Aviation Mall noting part of this is going to be made up by him.
SUPERVISOR STEC-Every time we settle with somebody it spreads the burden around to
everyone else. This is a calculated risk that our Assessor and Attorney do and the Attorney for
the School District.
PLINEY TUCKER, QUEENSBURY-Spoke regarding the round-a-bout asked how far along is
this?
COUNCILMAN STROUGH-We are about two years away.
MR. TUCKER-What is going on right now?
COUNCILMAN STROUGH-It started with a lot of citizens concerns then it lead to an Aviation
Road Corridor Study with a multitude of public hearings. We heard from the public about what
they wanted. We heard from the experts on what they thought was best to fix the problems that
were being addressed by the residents of that area. We adopted the results of the Aviation Road
Corridor Study then because the residents wanted us to we championed the traffic circle and
championed to the Regional Glens Falls Transportation Council it moved up the lists of priorities
so it reached another hurdle. It looks like now if things remain the way they are in about two
years we could have a traffic circle there.
MR. TUCKER-What is the total cost?
SUPERVISOR STEC-The local share I believe is going to be five percent, which is common.
MR. TUCKER-State and Federal?
SUPERVISOR STEC-I think it is fifteen and eighty.
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 05-02-2011 MTG #13 560
MR. TUCKER-Will you have another public hearing?
COUNCILMAN STROUGH-We have had probably five public hearings?
MR. TUCKER-When you held the public hearings did the people know how much this was
going to cost?
COUNCILMAN STROUGH-Yes it was announced.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-There is a substantial property that has to be purchased, too.
SUPERVISOR STEC-That will be an eligible expense that was one of the things with the timing
of this, that will be a grant eligible expense we are looking at about five percent the estimate on
the round-a-bout was about one and a half million. You are looking at maybe a hundred
thousand local share.
GENE CASELLA-15 LAKEVIEW DRIVE, QUEENSBURY-Spoke to the board noting his
concern about the ability to continue to live here due to high increases in his energy costs for oil
noting several of his neighbors have expressed the same concern made phone calls to National
Grid to see if they have any plans to move up the line. Also concerned with Time Warner being
the monopoly that they are is there any chance we are going to have fios here or Verizon
someone to compete with.
SUPERVISOR STEC-I would be happy to make some phone calls to people that I know stating
there has been an interest expressed in this I will get back to you regarding this.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Five or six years ago Nimo was interested in extending the district
in my neighborhood I went around with a petition to justify this to Nimo that we were ready
there may be something that you could do regarding this.
COUNCILMAN METIVIER-Questioned if Mr. Casella was using propane or oil?
MR. CASELLA-Oil.
COUNCILMAN METIVIER-You guys were talking at one point about doing a thing like we did
in our development where everyone was renting their tanks we ripped them all up bought our
own tanks now we have control over what we pay so that might be something you should look
into where you are.
COUNCILMAN STROUGH-As far as the Cable TV the draft is done for our Franchise
Agreement here with the Town of Queensbury with Time Warner. It is a non-exclusive
Franchise Agreement, which means that any competitor can come into our area. One of the
things that we have done as a Board and Committee we streamlined the TV Franchise
Agreement in other words if you burdened it with all kinds of things that you could possibly
burdened it with it makes it less likely for a competitor to come into the area because a
competitor has to meet the same standards that you imposed on the current cable provider. We
streamlined that we made it a bare minimum. We worked a lot with the vocabulary and
everything else, but we made I think a Franchise Agreement that makes it competitive and makes
it more likely to attract competitors in the area. Will it occur that is the market forces we only
have thirty thousand people in Queensbury you know the dense part in the southern end is the
part that they want to service, but they do have it up north. Again we made it competitive so we
left the door open.
MR. CASELLA-Thank you.

Spoke regarding the Warren County Program called the Return the Favor Thank You
for Your Service. This is a program that started in Rockland County I believe there
are eighteen counties in the State that have this program up and running including us
this program gives veterans discounts. The County is issuing Veterans free of charge
an ID card, right now there are more than forty businesses in the county from
restaurants to hotels to oil change places and auto parts dealers and restaurants that
are giving some sort of discount for veterans. All you need to do to get your veterans
ID card is bring your DD-214 your discharge papers to the County Clerk this is a nice
way to thank our veterans for their service. Hats off to all of our businesses that have
been very generous over these last ten years recognizing the veterans. Thanked the
businesses that are participating encouraged other businesses that may not be aware
of this. If you have any questions about this please contact me at the Town or you
can contact Denise DiResta at the County Veterans Service or the Pam Vogel the
County Clerk. The second program for veterans is a Local Property tax Exemption
depending on your service whether it was combat related or non combat related you
could be eligible for an exemption off your assessment towards lowering your county
and town taxes it doesn’t apply to school tax. I don’t want to speak for every other
town in the county but I am pretty sure that every town in the county as well as the
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 05-02-2011 MTG #13 577
county offers this exemption. There are thirty four hundred veterans that are
receiving this it is a small thank you for their service. You need to take your DD-214
to the Town or Village or City Assessor’s Office. Thanked Pam Vogel, Denise
DiResta, and Dave Collins for their efforts on this.
