PUBLIC HEARING-Re: Amending Ordinance #28
NOTICE SHOWN
SUPERVISOR WALTER-Noted that the proposed amendment to Ordinance #28 is
to add a stop intersection at Garrison Road and North Road. The stop sign shall
be erected on the Garrison Road entrance from east and west on North Road at
its entrance from north and south and the amendment will take affect after its publication.
Asked for public comment?
CHARLES EISENHART-I live on Bay Road but use Garrison Road a great deal, and
I don't see any reason for this stop sign.
JOHN CAFFRY-My grandmother who couldn't be here has lived on Garrison Road
almost forty years now and she would like very much to see a sign on that corner.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-1 received comments from the neighbors regarding Garrison
Road saying that this road was going through a change where younger people are
_. moving into the neighborhood with young children...Garrison Road is part of the
Glens Falls School District and as such the children must walk to school...and to
have a stop sign at North Road would provide some safety margin for children, at
least they would have a corner to cross at with cars stopping.
COUNCILMAN BORGOS-The other concern is the speed condition and if people
know there is a stop sign maybe they will start slowing down earlier and that will
tend to reduce speed, we have heard from a lot of people about this.
SUPERVISOR WALTER-At the February llth, meeting of the Warren County Traffic
Safety Board it was pointed out that a four-way stop sign at this particular intersection
was deemed to be inappropriate as per the New York State Manual of Uniform Traffic
Control Devices...the sheriff has written a letter to one of the residents who lives
on Garrison Road and has indicated to him that there were several attempts to resolve
the problem but didn't seem to think the four-way stop was in order.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Stated that when the sheriff has gone on Garrison Road
for radar check in a half hour to an hours' time he can pick up seven or eight speeders
and the last time four of them were residents of the road.
SUPERVISOR WALTER-Asked for further comment hearing none the Public Hearing
was closed 8:50 P.M.
I OPEN FORUM
DR.CHARLES EISENHART-Bay Road,Town Historian-Reported his progress to the
Town Board regarding the inventory of Town Cemeteries, noted that there are twenty
two cemeteries in the Town and it will take longer than anticipated to complete
the inventory.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Asked about the PDX Cemeteries where people went
to die is that part of the twenty-two?
CHARLES EISENHART-1 don't know...I will check into that.
Z86
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Can you copy down some of the neat inscriptions on
some of the old ones?
CHARLES EISENHART-No, it becomes too much just to get the names down and
the dates, as best I can...that makes quite a collection data on it.
COUNCILMAN BORG OS-Suggested to speed up the whole process, a very simple
computer program...just get the names and dates, type it in once...it can then be
sorted, alphabetically, in order of date of birth, death, whatever you want.
CHARLES EISENHART-In the end I hope to have a complete list, about five thousand
names and alphabetizing a single cemetery take a while.I am chairman on the bicentennial j
and I have a very good committee and we will have our first event on Sunday, September
20, on the campus I have a reservation at Dearlove Hall and over in the Lecture
Hall for that Sunday night. Then we have tentatively set up a date in October in
which we will be involving the school activities, principally Queensbury Central
but in the meantime we've got Dr. Norman M. Horning as principal speaker...he
is an authority on the constitution and an excellent speaker. I will be sending you
some minor cost for it but it won't be anything very great. I hope the town will
be getting into some enthusiasm perhaps about the 200 anniversary of the establishment
of the constitution.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Asked if Lake George School would be involved?
CHARLES EISENHART-We have not worked out whether we are going to try to
seclude it to the Queensbury Central or open it up to the whole area.
COUNCILMAN BORGOS-Asked if anything had been heard regarding the exits 19
and 20 from DOT.
SUPERVISOR WALTER-No new news-They had added exit 18 not exit 20 as far as
placement of the traffic signal and I have had a running correspondence with the
people down there at DOT as far as their planning...Dan Cane and myself and I think
Mack has been a part of it to, in getting the entry way to Queensbury Plaza moved
further south to line up with the egress on the Grand Union side, by closing off one...then
the addition to a second turning lane going left if you are going north on Rte. 9 to
alleviate some of the traffic. All of those things are in the design stage and they
are not any further along then that. Yes, the DOT is addressing both of those intersections
at the exits on the Northway and also that particular problem where we have a ,.
lot of congestion on Rte. 9 and Quaker Road.
COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-Noted that because of the concern of the people at
the last meeting regarding Sandy Bay, the county has said they would look into it
and hopefully do something...asked if there was anything new on it.
SUPERVISOR WALTER-I brought it up at the county and I think it was the Sheriff's
committee, and I mentioned to him we had a lot of discussion and I had talked with
other supervisors, namely Supervisor Tessier, Lake George and Supervisor Bolton,
from Hague who had indicated that they were having problems with groups also,
not to the extent we experienced them in Sandy Bay but they had seen an increase
and at open discussion of the whole committee it was the general consensus that
if a town should pass any kind of legislation that, that would just remove the problem
from that town but that it would go somewhere else and the best way to address
it would be a county wide piece of legislation. We left it that the sheriff was going
to be discussing it with the county attorney and that they would be reporting back
at the next sheriff's committee.
OPEN FORUM CLOSED.

DISCUSSION HELD BEFORE VOTE
SUPERVISOR WALTER-The town intends to avoid accepting sewer lines and appertence
which have been improperly installed or which utilized materials which are inadequate,
and I believe the Board is going to be firm on anyone who is getting the jump on
putting sewer mains in at this time. We are concerned with those smaller sewer
lines that are going to be connecting to our sewer and we don't want to have any
system infiltrating storm or whatever into our sewers because we do have a limited
capacity. Hopefully by setting some firm standards we will be able to handle whatever
may occur between this time, the public hearing and the acceptance of those standards,
when we get a permanent set.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Noted that around town the sewer district is being built
and one of the problems is the immense dewatering process in order to lay the pipes...
We need to inspect the lines prior to the developer covering them up to ensure that
we are getting the kind of quality we want therefore we need these interim standards.
SUPERVISOR WALTER-Stated that the fee was open to discussion this evening for
the inspector to go out and look at these sewer lines.
COUNCILMAN BORGOS-Based on our experience with the last contract with the
engineers for somebody to observe the actual placement of sewer, making sure the
seems are tight and the stone is there and the gravel is there, that fee could be
very high for our own sewer district work...I think the fee in this case should be
reasonable but also reasonably high to ensure that we get the proper kind of inspection
that we want and proper kind of administration.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-There are three kinds of inspection that we are dealing
with...one is that the developer has an engineer to design a sewer line, and part
of the cost of that engineers job will be to design it and also to see that it is built
to those design specifications, our responsibility will be to have our engineer, to
review those plans and see that those plans and those materials used fit our guidelines
and lastly Tom Flaherty, our Water Superintendent, or one of his designated inspectors
goes out and checks the water lines...I think that is what we are referring to.
COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-This is a different kind of inspection.
COUNCILMAN BORGOS-We will be increasing the value of these properties significantly
by putting sewers in...Perhaps $200.00 per residential unit as an initial fee until
tig9
we get the fee set.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Asked George if he would expect that it would take a
long time out at the site to do this?
COUNCILMAN BORGOS-I think someone ought to look at it while they are putting
it in so as to see if the method is proper...you don't need somebody out there all
the time...suggest then when everything is in do a lantern type check to make sure
you can see the hole that is the old method...there is a more modern way now.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Stated that Kestner Engineers prefers the laser especially
when you are dealing with a grade because you can't do it with a transit unless you've
got the computer print out.
COUNCILMAN BORGOS-Stated $200.00 plus $20.00 per unit for residential housing
or $200 plus $20.00 per thousand square feet for commercial and or industrial.

DISCUSSION:
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Noted that he wanted to clarify the fact that Hiland Park
is a fact of life and their fair share of the pump station is a fact of life but I am
not quite sure that the Town Board should be relying on Earltown paying their fair
share, they have not been approved yet...so the cost to the town is $420,000.00 plus
and part of that cost will be borne by Hiland...this is the only one we can rely on.
SUPERVISOR WALTER-The point of the matter is the pump station will be sized
so that it will handle the Hiland Park...it could handle Earltown also...on the other
hand what we have indicated is that we can use that pump station for our extensions
on sewer districts where we don't have to rely on either or developer because we
can utilize that pump station for enough flows by extending the districts. Noted
that the Town was now striving to meet a commitment to our large industry in the
town, C.R. Bard, to get them sewer service and we have predicted that it will be
the fall of this year and specifically before the first of the year.
COUNCILMAN BORGOS-Asked if this was a package plan?
SUPERVISOR WALTER-Yes, and it could be one of the reasons why we just got
the one.
