SUPERVISOR WALTER-Introduced the Public Hearing regarding Sewer Rules and Regulation- we are completing our first full scale sewer district...we have developers who are going to be hitching onto our sewer and we are attempting during this public hearing to get gather comments from the public regarding the interim regulations. NOTICE SHOWN PUBLIC HEARING-Regarding proposed interim Sewer rules and regulations in the Town of Queensbury. SUPERVISOR WALTER-Asked for public comments on the proposed interim standards...noted that there are about twelve items, we do have a fee, item 11, which is payment to the town. We are trying at this point to establish some rules and regulations so that we can be standard on them throughout the town. Asked Town Board if they wish to comment? COUNCILMAN MONTESI-In our particular area right now the present sewer district, C.R. Bard, one of the major employers have taken the initiative and run pipes on their own property in anticipation of coming out to the sewer line to the town, those pipes have to be checked and need some standards to go by, Woodbury who is presently building a development on Glenwood are in the process of running lines out to meet the anticipated sewer line and they have to be checked...another project along Quaker Road is in the process of running pipes out so it is important that we have an interim set up to deal with this until January 1st when we will be establishing our own Sewer Department, with a sewer head and inspector etc. Next spring they tell us that the pump station will be on line and all of those streets that have been dug up and the sewer line runs to people will be able to hook up to so we will need to have our in- spectors out checking these hookups. COUNCILMAN BORGOS-Mr. Kurosaka pointed out to me that in item 11 it should read $20.00 per thousand square foot for commercial and or industrial. MR. TURNER-Asked what the specifications would be for the individual or residential? SUPERVISOR WALTER-The plans and specifications for the Quaker Road Sewer Dis- trict as prepared by Kestner Engineers, they are on file with the Town Clerk as part of the Sewer District. MR. TURNER-Do you know off hand what the materials consist of or what a resident would have t bring from his house out to the main line...is this going to be included j in the specifications? SUPERVISOR WALTER-No, we are going to have a Local Law which will deal with the sanitary regulations in the sewer connections with the town. COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-Stated that this was meant for developers, commercial it is not intended for the individual, in you particular case there will be regulations and policy for house connections. COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Based on what is in the ordinance...if you were commercial building they would be required to use cast iron, a home would use PCB pipe. MR. TURNER-That is what I was getting at, thank you. COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Stated that this would give the Town Board the legal ability to review what is going in the ground right now. SUPERVISOR WALTER-I will hold public hearing open in case anybody is late...The Queensbury Town Board moves into a session of the Queensbury Board of Health. 7:45 P.M. RUEENSBURY BOARD OF HEALTH-Regarding a variance application for Jerome Bonnebeaux. SUPERVISOR WALTER-Stated that this is variance application No. 1, 1986...at that time it was tabled for lack of information...the Town Board asked to have the names of the former owners of adjacent land and the distance from the neighbors wells. We have a memo from Mr. Lefebvre in our Building and Codes Department, dated August 13, to me and the Town Board indicating that the information requested, a copy of the easement agreement which would allow placement of the septic system as shown on the plot plan and Mr. Bonnabeaux was in contact with his contractor who is keeping the present system evacuated until the new one is operational. Mr. Lefebvre has indicated that the application be placed on the agenda. Asked Mr. Bonna- beaux if the information they needed was in the hands of the Building Department? MR. BONNABEAUX-It was determined that the land in question was a right of way and I have an agreement with Mrs. Zverblis and we now have it straightened out. My attorney has started to prepare an easement document and we have been going back and forth getting the wording straight and I think we have finally arrived at an agreement with Mrs. Zverblis. SUPERVISOR WALTER-Is this all in writing now? MR. BONNABEAUX-Yes, Mr. Lefebvre has a copy of it. COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-Stated that the question was on a piece of property where he had no easement to and now he does have the easement so I can't see any problem with it. COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-I think we also had a question to make sure this was all the proper distance from all the neighboring wells. SUPERVISOR WALTER-Mr. Dean there was four things that the Town Board wished to know...how long the gentlemen owned the land, I think we know that now... the name of the former owner of the land, we also have that...the adjacent land owners...and the distances from the neighbors wells...with additional information as exactly where the property was located? COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-We had some of that information before, only the easement was the problem. SUPERVISOR WALTER-For the public who is in attendance this evening this is a variance under Article 3, Section 3.020 of the Sanitary Sewage Disposal Ordinance of the Town, we are dealing with a variance because the facility is only 75 feet from an existing water supply actually for the same property. MR. DEAN-My staff has been working diligently on this...to the best of my knowledge Mr. Bonnabeaux appeared in the Building Department a couple of weeks ago and produced an easement agreement with his neighbor who actually owns a fairly good size lot 1 which lies to the rear of Mr. Bonnabeaux property and basically this section that lies directly behind his property, would connect the rear of his property to the road in a straight line direction which would give him room to install the system in that area which would be the greatest distance from the lake. SUPERVISOR WALTER-Asked if this would still be 75 feet. MR. DEAN-That was the area where he originally planned, it is a 75 foot setback. SUPERVISOR WALTER-So the plan has not changed...one of the questions was...if J0 he had delineated it on the map, was he on somebody's else's land, his land or whatever...now we have the easement and you are saying where the seepage pit is going to be you have got an easement for that particular situation. MR. BONNABEAUX-That has been a right of way over the years, that I have had to the road, but I didn't realize it, I have always been cutting the grass and thought it was private property. SUPERVISOR WALTER-Asked Mr. Bonnabeaux as if his problem was that his present system was not working properly? MR. BONNABEAUX-That's correct, I would like to get that out of there and get a new one because it would be better for the situation. MR. DEAN-I understand that you have been pumping the tanks. ._ MR. BONNABEAUX-Yes, I have been pumping the tanks periodically. COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-1 think it is the same question but how far is this septic system from the neighbors septic system and their water supply. COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-Referred the map to clarify Mrs. Monahan's question regarding the water being a 150 feet away and we knew who owned around it because we checked it with Mack, the only question to answer was the easement and there is no problem now? SUPERVISOR WALTER-Asked Town Board if they had any questions to Mr. Bonnabeaux of Mr. Dean? COUNCILMAN BORGOS-Asked Mr. Dean if he was recommending that they go ahead with this? MR. DEAN-Yes, I believe so under the circumstances. COUNCILMAN BORGOS-Asked if there would be any harm to the lake with the 120 feet setback? MR. DEAN-I don't believe there should be any problems, drainage is really good in that area. SUPERVISOR WALTER-Asked for public comment...hearing none asked for a consensus of the Town Board so as to check off the check sheet and did the Board feel that there was special circumstances or conditions which the strict application of our ordinance would deprive the applicant of reasonable use of his land...and if a variance were granted it would not be a material detrimental to the ordinance to the adjoining properties or conflict with the policies and ordinances in the town...and the Board would feel that a variance would be necessary for the reasonable use of the land and that it would alleviate a hardship at this point and affect the applicant. Asked if Mr. Dean if in the resolution there would be any special conditions regarding a vari- ance? MR. DEAN-I would ask only that there would be no more bedrooms be added to the existing place. COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-Asked if the new system is designed for the bedrooms he's got? MR. DEAN-That's correct. COUNCILMAN BORGOS-We want to be sure we have full inspection at every stage of this reconstruction and the Building Department be there to inspect. RESOLUTION TO APPROVE VARIANCE i RESOLUTION NO& Introduced by Mr. George Kurosaka who moved for its adoption, seconded by Mr. Stephen Borgos.

That there are special circumstances or conditions of which the strict application of the provisions of this Ordinance would deprive the applicant of reasonable use of such land. 2. That the Variance would not be materially detrimental to the purposes or objectives of the Ordinance, or to other adjoining properties or otherwise conflict with the purpose or objectives of any plan or policy of the Town. 3.

MR. BONNABEAUX-Asked what was said about the bedrooms? SUPERVISOR WALTER-We saying we have approved a new system that you have given plans to our Building Department based on your construction as it is now...if you decide to add anymore living space, you will have to come back to the Town for further approval from our Building Department. THE QUEENSBURY BOARD OF HEALTH ADJOURNED QUEENSBURY TOWN BOARD SUPERVISOR WALTER-Asked if anyone in the room wished to comment on the interim sewer rules and regulations, hearing none the Public Hearing closed. OPEN FORUM: 8:00 P.M. GRACE HANNEFORD-Kattskill Bay-I am here concerning the road that Mr. Schultz is building off Hanneford Road. We don't feel that the road is capable to handle the traffic, its not capable of handling the big trucks that have been running up and down the road but thanks to Mr. Naylor and Mr. Dean, they have stopped that for a while. We are also worried about the sewer run-off and water flow, that would come down from these houses into our own wells. We are also concerned about the wildlife and it is a very quiet nice neighborhood and we hate to see it spoiled. SUPERVISOR WALTER-Asked if Mrs. Hanneford knew that the Queensbury Building Code Enforcement Officer, Mr. Dean has issued a stop work order on that project and the conditions of the stop work i order are...any kind of road cuts be approved by our Highway Superintendent Mr. Naylor, and secondly that it would appear on the agenda of our Planning Board...Noted that the traffic coming onto Hanneford Road would be detrimental. MACK DEAN - Stated that he had spoken with the Park Agency's Director of Operations, Mr. Duprey, and he said that it was rare for the Agency to change their policy after a permit has been issued'but they can hold a hearing at the request of the town so people can be heard. SUPERVISOR WALTER-Because of the fact that Mrs. Hanneford and others from the area are here, would it be in order for the Town Board to have a resolution to request an administrative hearing? MACK DEAN-I would like to suggest that the Town Board request the appropriate staff and the Planning Board look into the aspects of the subdivisions...noted that one of the basic problems involved here is that no one in an official capacity within the town has reviewed the plans and all the lots except one are in the town of Fort Ann and in so much as the Town of Fort Ann has no Zoning Ordinance, or Planning Board, the Town of Queensbury was not notified of the project, therefore the Town had no SERRA process or public input. Our only recourse now is through the Park Agency and I would request that they provide us with any kind of map available of the subdivision, also the road profiles and drainage map. COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-Asked what basically was in the Town of Ru.eensbury? MACK DEAN-Basically just the road. I request the entire subdivision map because the drainage on site in the subdivision can impact not only the Hanneford Road but Lake George, as there are culverts leading directly to the lake. COUNCILMAN BORGOS-Asked if any of Mrs. Hanneford's property came within 500 feet of that pro t? MACK DEAN-Yes, I would say it is. COUNCILMAN BORGOS-Asked Mrs. Hanneford if she were notified by the Adirondack Park Agency. MRS. HANNEFORD-No, I wasn't. JOHN BEALE-Only two people did receive notification, one was Mrs. Crannell. There are four culverts that serve that property, and Hanneford Road is a 16 foot road deeded right of way, thats' all there is to it. COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-Asked if this was a private road? JOHN BEALE-It was a private road but it was deeded sixteen foot. Said that if they put ten houses in there that means an extra hundred cars going up and down that road also drainage is already a problem. When they originally started this, they went in back of my house and did some testing and there was less than six to eight inches of over burden on the rocks there, and it was my understanding in the beginning that there would be no homes built there, now I am told they can do this. We are looking quadrupling the traffic and the cars go up to 60 to 70 miles an hour, I am not against what they are doing, I am against the way they are doing it, if he wants access to his property, let him go in on his own road back along the mountain. SUPERVISOR WALTER-How many feet along Hanneford Road of the sixteen foot wide road before we get to where they ingress and egress? MR. BEALES- About 300 feet and then you are there and we feel if they want access to mountain let them get their on their own side, we are also concerned about the deer in there. SUPERVISOR WALTER-We will take your comments under consideration. COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-Asked if he had a copy of the letter sent to the two people? MR. BEALES-Yes. COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Asked Mr. Dean if there was anything in the APA review saying they had to notify another municipality...and how many people within the 500 feet of that proposal are there. MR. BEALES-About eight to ten families? MR. DEAN-Mr. Duprey called to say he would be available Thursday...lets pursue our avenue and'review the profiles. COUNCILMAN BORGOS-I feel very strongly about what they are talking about and I don't wantAo review too long...so if the review turns up something lets have the public hearing. MR. NAYLOR-Town Highway Superintendent-Vote tonight. SUPERVISOR WALTER-Asked Mr. Naylor if he was saying there was enough of a problem that it sho� go through the Town Board. MR. NAYLOR-We had a meeting with Mr. Robert Schultz about a year ago and asked for a lot of informat: and we never heard from him until he heard from some of the people. MR. DEAN-The normal procedure is to notify the Supervisor of the municipality and the Planning Board and Mr. Roberts never received anything...I personally have not seen anything on this project. Suggested we take a good look at it. 301 COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Asked Mr. Dean if they had to also have the approval of the Department of Health? MR. DEAN-Yes, and they indicated last week they had not received anything for approval. SUPERVISOR WALTER-We will review the situation and try to keep you posted as far as what action will be taken or what we have found out as far as the project is concerned.

MR. NAYLOR-This is the only section of the V & T law that the Town Board can override but it is not recommended to put double lines, the idea is to keep traffic flowing. If there is a broken line somebody in traffic control decided there was room enough to pass, said that he would agree with the double lines only to Veterans Lane.

The Sheriff's Department has been notified of this particular problem. COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Asked Mr. Borgos if he had also reminded these people that these riders are now in violation of the State Law and they can also bring the State Police in? COUNCILMAN BORGOS-We have no ordinance at the present regarding noise pollution and we have a lot of complaints from people who are concerned about early morning constructiol contractors starting at 6:00 A.M. or 6:15 A.M within 300 feet of residents particularly where we have very young or very elderly people who may have not been sleeping all night and do not like to wake up to generators and chain saws...

Duly adopted by the following vote: Ayes: Mr.Kurosaka, Mr. Borgos, Mr. Montesi, Mrs. Monahan, Mrs. Walter Noes: None Absent: None SUPERVISOR WALTER-There was a determination regarding the Toomey's property on Lake Sunnyside...they had a certain amount of time to clean up their property, which was the 23rd. of August. The property has been fenced and a certain amount of cleaning up has been done. I had a telephone call from Mr. Kevin Toomey today, who indicated to me that they wish to build a structure on some of that property, not rebuild all of it but build a structure and that they would be on the agenda for the Zoning Board of Appeals in September. The property isn't probably to the point the the Board maybe visualized it, but the reason being is that they are going to come before the Zoning Board. If the Board has any objections to rebuilding, I think that we would want to have some kind of a resolution, at least some communication to the Zoning Board during that period. COUNCILMAN MONTESI-I have the concern that if they are going to build, that would mean that the septic system would be either on the lake side which would be less than 75 feet from the lake or they would have to pump onto the other side of the road and that would mean an easement under our road, so I am of the feeling that it would strongly urge the Zoning Board to look at that very carefully, I don't like that and what if they turn them down, this gives them another month and how far do we want to go with this...we said the 23rd. of August. COUNCILMAN MONTESI-I think it is going to take some awfully good engineering work to sure those walls that are there, because if in the past year they haven't kept the ice away, it is going to cause them to heave. COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-Noted that the Building Department would insist on an engineers letter from somebody saying they are safe. COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-There isn't going to be only a variance for set back for a septic system but also for fill within 50 feet of lake shore...questioned why they didn't build in the grove? COUNCILMAN BORGOS-Stated that they do have the right to go the Zoning Board and perhaps if the Town Board has concerns they could filter those concerns to the Board. COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Stated that if they are turned down by the Zoning Board of Appeals they must immediately proceed to finish cleaning the property, that is what the original intent was. I don't mind if they go to the Zoning Board of Appeals but the cleaning up must be done. COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Noted that there was a culvert in the road running down in that area. COUNCILMAN MONTESI-I am not happy with the fact that somebody wants to build on that side of the road for the obvious reasons of septic, setback from the road and setback from the lake. COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-It would be almost impossible. SUPERVISOR WALTER-Asked if there were anymore concerns of the Board...asked that the comments from the Board on the tape be given to the zoning Board of Appeals and any Board Member that twishes to attend that September meeting, urged them to do so. SUPERVISOR WALTER-Received reguest for second Court Clerk to attend Conference. RESOLUTION TO TABLE REQUEST RESOLUTION NO. 273, Introduced by Mr. Stephen who moved for its adoption.
