1986-04-22 J.Ldl TOWN BC`A11D MEET111C APRTT, 22, 1986 TOWN BOARD MEMBERS Mrs. Frances Walter - Supervisor Mr. George Kurosaka - Councilman Mr. Stephen Borgos - Councilman Mrs. Betty Monahan - Councilman Mr. Wilson Mathias - Town Counsel ABSENT - Councilman - Ronald Montesi PRESS: G.F. Post Star GUESTS: Howard Emmett, Rev. Douglas Hinton, Lynn Hunter, Wayne LaLonde, Douglas Williams, Mr. Tyler TOWN OFFICIALS: Mr. Paul Naylor PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE LED BY COUNCILMAN MONAHAN MEETING OPENED 7:40 P.M. PUBLIC HEARING SUPERVISOR WALTER - First order of business this evening is the proposed Local Law relative to no parking on Glenwood Avenue. The local law would establish no parking regulations on portions of Glenwood Avenue and we are looking at the area from Bay Road through Quaker Road The purpose of the public hearing is to hear input from the public regarding no parking on that road . COUNCILMAN BORGOS - I would like to just repeat this in the minutes that I believe this to be necessary as there have been a number of problems — all year long both at the easterly end where Glenwood runs into Bay and at the westerly end where Glenwood runs into Quaker. All the premises along the way seem to have adequate on site parking. I travel it everyday and I see no reason for anyone to be parking on the road. I see no inconvenience to anyone because of this, but there is a problem with fire vehicles and ambulances, in particular snow removal and other things, I would like to see it passed tonight. SUPERVISOR WALTER - Are there any further comments? I will leave the public hearing open for a few minutes , in case anyone comes in later. We will put the public hearing aside and come back to it in about five minutes or so. OPEN FORUM HOWARD EMMETT - Moon Hill Road, I wanted to know if there were any laws against trailers on Moon Hill Road. SUPERVISOR WALTER - Yes, the Town Board established zones for single family or single mobile homes and also some mobile home parks, subdivision, I don't believe the area that you are referring to is within the zone where mobile homes will be permitted. Mobile homes that are already there can continue to stay there because they are grandfathered. HOWARD EMMETT - Can you put a modular home there? TOWN COUNSEL - The Town Board is going to be holding a hearing on the 29th of April to formalize the requirements on that, because they have changed the mobile home law that had a permit procedure for people who wanted to locate a mobile home outside the mobile home court. In your case if the Town Board adopts the regulation, the way for you to proceed should you wish to site a mobile home on that lot would be to apply for a variance to the Zoning Board Appeals. You have to prove to the Zoning Board of Appeals that you are entitled to a use variance, if they believe 122 that you have established your case they would give you a variance so that you would be permitted to put a mobile home there. Regarding the issue of a modular home, it would be my opinion that a modular home is not a mobile home, under our definition, you would simply have to comply with the lot size for that zone. You would have to meet the set back requirements, thirty feet from the street, fifteen feet from the side etc, you would have to obtain a building permit. HOWARD EMMETT - OK you said I could apply for a permit. Thank you. DOUGLAS HINTON - Minister of Wesleyan Church, Ridge Road - I have been asked to address myself and ask for an extension for the mobile home we are using for Sunday school classes. i SUPERVISOR WALTER - The letter, for the public, is to request approval to renew a permit for two trailer units used for Sunday school classes. I think that the question was that when the Ridge Road Wesleyan Church came in last year the minutes indicated that they were not going to ask ✓ again and that by this time they would have built additional quarters. Perhaps you would want to respond to that. DOUGLAS HINTON, PASTOR - After that meeting we ran into some problems. The contractor insisted in going through some redesigning stages, this week the general church required the approvals and we are now working back through that process and we are optimistic that we will have something on it, but because of various transitions we have been going through, the project has become more costly than was originally thought a year ago at this time. Various factors have entered into it, and we still need those units. SUPERVISOR WALTER - I would ask the board are they aware of the action taken on this and what the Reverend Hinton is referring to. This is a little bit different than a mobile home for resident and it would be for a limited period. COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA - This is actually a classroom trailer, a mobile classroom. SUPERVISOR WALTER - The board can without a public hearing give them approval for a permit to continue to use those classrooms. COUNCILMAN MONAHAN - I would like to ask our Counsel, can we grant this temporary or if we do grant this again do we have a permanent status or what? TOWN COUNSEL - The regulation as proposed would only grandfather in residential permitted mobile homes so that if someone is using a mobile home without a permit, they are not going to obtain vested rights. The ordinance was set up basically to prohibit anyone pulling a mobile home into the town and setting it up for use or storage. I think that the intent is to regulate that kind of structure whether or not it is lived in. COUNCILMAN BORGOS - How about the one that is behind the Queensbury School or was the last time I checked, being used for dental check ups. Is that still there and would that be the same? TOWN COUNSEL - I don't know, they should have complied with the permit procedure, I don't know if they ever did. SUPERVISOR WALTER - I don't believe that has ever been before the Town Board but I will make sure it is checked on tomorrow morning. COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA - I believe that this the same kind of situation. SUPERVISOR WALTER - Absolutely. COUNCILMAN BORGOS - There is one planned around the Adirondack Community College for next year to be used for a day care center. TOWN COUNSEL - As I understand the intent is that, it is the structure that is regulated not just the use of it as a home. If you want to say ' 3 it is only when you live in it, then a guy who wants to store ten of them on his lot says you don't have any regulations. COUNCILMAN BORGOS - I have just one question more what was the size of this, was it stated in the letter I don't recall? REVEREND HINTON - 12X50. COUNCILMAN BORGOS - I am not sure but because it is church property , does it have to meet with the fire codes requirements? LYNN HUNTER - Mr. Bodenweiser does inspect these premises periodically. COUNCILMAN BORGOS - When does the present permit expire? REVEREND HINTON - It has just expired. SUPERVISOR WALTER - The church and Reverend Hinton did elude to this, he first applied in February 1981 and placed a second one on May of 1981, each year thereafter applying for a one year permit and last year the board asked for a timetable from the church as to when the classrooms would be built because they did not want to keep giving one year permits for the next fifty years. When the letter came into the Town Board there was some question as to how this would be acted upon. COUNCILMAN BORGOS - Are there neighbors right there within sight of this? REVEREND HINTON - Yes. Just down from the church. SUPERVISOR WALTER - The Wesleyan church has asked for an extension on their permit and that is why the Reverend Hinton is here this evening. It is not the appropriate time to act on any resolutions, however, is it the consensus of the board that they would want to handle this at this time, so that he would have some indication as to how the board feels. COUNCILMAN BORGOS - We are having a special meeting next week, which is going to be very busy but could this be added in at the very beginning perhaps? SUPERVISOR WALTER - We could certainly add it to the agenda if you would like to get out and take a look at the site. COUNCILMAN BORGOS - I think I would like to before I make a decision I would like to talk to the Fire Marshal. Questioned if a temporary permit for a week could be issued. SUPERVISOR WALTER - I don't think you can do that. REVEREND HINTON - We have no desire to come for the next fifty years to get this permit. We do have this building process as I said and formulating new plans and hopefully we won't be back again. SUPERVISOR WALTER - I would have to say that if on the 29th the regulations were passed as to what is required of a single home that would refer to this also such as to skirting. TOWN COUNSEL - At this point there aren't any provisions about the skirting but any regulations actually that would be applicable, are that, after _ a year you would be giving them a permit under the old law and that law is going to be superseded by this zoning regulations. Once this permit expired, not having built a permanent structure, you would have to come before the board of appeals and prove that you are entitled to a use variance. I wouldn't want to comment on our administration bodies, the rules of obtaining a use variance are extremely strict. You have to show unncessary hardship, you have to prove there is no reasonable return on the property pertaining to any other use other than that of a mobile home. It is an extremely hard test to prove, particularly if there are any neighbors who object. In my opinion, I believe that it is virtually impossible to prove that you are entitled to a use variance. It seems to me that I would want to advise you on behalf of the board that should they adopt those regulations, you would need to speed up your building 124 and probably be prepared to go and try to meet the use variance test. SUPERVISOR WALTER - I think it is probably the consensus of the board to hold this over until next Tuesday, Mr. Montesi is not here this evening and he is the councilman from the ward that you are located in. That is a special meeting of the board and we will add this to the agenda. If there is a problem with it between now and then we would get a hold of you if there is additional information needed. WAYNE LALONDE - 195 Dixon Road - I would like to address the board regarding the waste at John Burke Apartments, I have been living at my resident for 7 1/2 years and we get this unpleasant odor from their waste system. I would like to have the board investigate this problem. SUPERVISOR WALTER - We have investigated it on several different occasions and that is under the jurisdiction of the State Department of Environmental Conservation, the town has no jurisdiction over this situation. WAYNE LALONDE - We have contacted Encon in the past and have not gotten very much satisfaction and it is not very pleasant to come home to such an unpleasant odor. SUPERVISOR WALTER - I sympathize with you but we have been instrumental in getting the Enviromental people down there. COUNCILMAN MONAHAN- Stated that there is a chemical used at the land fill to cut down on the odor. DOUGLAS WILLIAMS - It seems that when ever we complain and this has been going on for a long time, we get results. I feel that this should be investigated on a regular basis and something be done about it. Perhaps eliminate the raw sewage. SUPERVISOR WALTER - After your appearance before the board tonight, I will be on the phone to Encon tomorrow but what I want to make clear is that there is nothing we can do. It is not a new problem, it is an on going problem. They are not on top of it, so I will speak with Mr. Lamey tomorrow and let him know we are hearing this problem early in the season. I will give you a call when I have some information regarding this problem. The problem is how the situation is handled. We have some old business regarding a petition on sidewalks on the Aviation Road from the Northway to West Mountain Road and I am going to ask Mr. Naylor to respond to it. When the Town Board acted in paving the shoulder which was six years ago all available land to the town was used at that time.

Drainage basins (to control surface water) TOWN FORCES AND EQUIPMENT NOT INCLUDED IN ABOVE PRICES PAUL NAYLOR - Highway Supt. - Stated that what is now the black top shoulders what everybody calls bicycle path could be used for sidewalk but if the town was to go back eight or nine feet farther in peoples door yard, you might have to publish it and find out if that is what they want. SUPERVISOR WALTER - Well first off, there is a lot more involved here than cost, it has to do with acquiring property and the legalities of that kind of situation. Some people will be willing to give up their front lawn for the project and some people who will not and I can assure you that there will be a lot of legal action for the next five or ten years. We have utilized all of the Towns right-of-way on the Aviation Road to put those shoulders in. COUNCILMAN MONAHAN- I think that is why they,are asking, referring to Debbie's comment, that the bicycle path be left on one side and a sidewalk on the other. COUNCILMAN BORGOS - I think we have some legal problems, as legal traffic law say bicycles have to travel the same way as automobiles do. I think there is an age limit also . . . also spoke with the father of the latest boy killed on the Aviation Road and the one thing he asked was to try to get sidewalks put in. Stated that he explained to him that as a practical matter it was very difficult to add sidewalks to what was already there and suggested improvement on lighting and perhaps a combination of sidewalks, such as past Sokols Mkt. down Dixon and Aviation where sidewalks wouldn't really be an imposition on anybody. PAUL NAYLOR - Highway Supt. . .noted that the blacktop will last a little bit longer than concrete. SUPERVISOR WALTER - I have some comments . . .The people who signed this petition are not the people who are necessarily using this. I am looking at people who are living on Greenway, Sunnyside, Windcrest Drive, Reservoir Drive, Parkview Ave. , are we now on a tract to sidewalk the whole town, is this their purpose in signing this petition? COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA - Stated that he thought that some of the people signed the petition because their children walk on the road with their friends. SUPERVISOR WALTER - Then I am going tell you, you are going to get hit with the Dixon Road and lets start increasing the figures on the sheet Mr. Naylor because all of those roads are busy roads and the other comment I want to make during the public forum here is the fact that six years ago as a member of this board we took an action to widen the road for safety reasons and every six years do we change the way we want to do it. I feel that by putting in sidewalks with curbs, that in the winter time they will not be properly maintained and would people be walking in the street rather than the wide sweep the plows can give the shoulders on the road, I really think it will be more dangerous to have sidewalks. 126 COUNCILMAN MONAHAN - Some of the kids do have to be on the Aviation Road because of walking to school. SUPERVISOR WALTER - I don' t think that is a valid statement in that area because the kids that are crossing it are not utilizing the sidewalks. This petition also said that three children were killed on this road. That is working on the emotions, two children were killed crossing the road, what good would the sidewalks have done. The other fellow killed, would a sidewalk have prevented a drunk driver from climbing up on it? COUNCILMAN BORGOS - Asked if these prices reflect both sides of the road? PAUL NAILOR - Highway Supt. . .These include both sides. SUPERVISOR WALTER - Lets go back to cost now where you have your miscellaneous, you've got the removal of six power poles, dry wells, drainage basins, the whole drainage system along there will have to be removed, we are —' looking at more than the cost of blacktop. PAUL NAYLOR - Said that is why I feel if you are going to consider it, you should really get an engineer, I threw something together quick for you because you asked for it, I got you the numbers but I haven't got time to do it. I am still on the brush detail and this is the third week. COUNCILMAN BORGOS - I wanted to comment on that, ybu are doing a super job. PAUL NAYLOR - Highway Supt. . . it is up to $26,000.00 now and we have $26,000 to go, and that is how much it is costing you for brush. COUNCILMAN BORGOS - Is there a way we can continue to look at this in terms of safety improvements without saying yes or no to Paul's figures at this point? SUPERVISOR WALTER - Stated that she would personally like to have an expert take a look at it and see whether the addition of sidewalks with the existing land we own will increase the safety on the road. Perhaps lighting along the road would do better for the safety aspect of it. I think we have to be realistic about it. PAUL NAYLOR - Highway Dept. . . Stated that the lights put up in the west end of the main street of West Glens Falls have made a big difference. COUNCILMAN MONAHAN - Asked if the twenty-nine trees mentioned in Mr. Naylor's report were on private property. PAUL NAYLOR - Highway Supt. . .responded that they were. SUPERVISOR WALTER - I have another question relative to what you are talking about, I am going to direct it to our attorney, this would be an improvement area, and who would pay for it? TOWN COUNSEL - There is a section in the Town Law that provides mechanism for this type of improvement, what it does is basically provide that those owners benefited by the improvement, abutting owners, pay for it. The way you finance a project like this would be through those properties that abut the proposed sidewalks. COUNCILMAN BORGOS - Stated that he didn't think that anyone was committed entirely to the sidewalks but to the safety improvement, it could be simply better lighting, at least this is a start. SUPERVISOR WALTER - Stated that it is the concern of the Board for the safety of the residents of Queensbury but that also we have to realistic. . . We certainly should look into it and Paul has done all he thinks he can do by presenting an estimate of cost. I would like to have someone look at it. c� COUNCILMAN BORGOS - Asked if we could get a traffic engineer? Perhaps include the thought of wider and brighter white lines at the right side of the road, somehow painting them more than once a year maybe twice a year. PAUL NAYLOR - Highway Supt. . . Paint is hard to get. COUNCILMAN BORGOS - Asked how can we get somebody who can help with the engineering. SUPERVISOR WALTER - I don't know. I will have to look into it. OPEN FORUM CLOSED: 9:26 P.M. SUPERVISOR WALTER - Regarding public hearing on the proposed local law no parking Glenwood Avenue . . . asked if there were any further comments in regard to this public hearing - hearing none the public hearing was closed. 8:30 P.M.

COUNCILMAN BORGOS - Stated that it came to his attention from several groups primarily emergency services, fire and rescue people, indicating that many times, summer and winter it is extremely difficult to get through that road with any vehicles parked on it. It is difficult even without vehicles parked on it, especially at either end. As for normal vehicles going there everyday they drive there at least once a day regularly and 132 it is very difficult to see at the intersections at night time with anything parked on the road. MR. TYLER - Actually there is no problem with parking on the Quaker Road but there is a need for a traffic light there. There js no parking on that end of the road so where is the congestion as far as parking? COUNCILMAN BORGOS - Stated that there is ample parking space for the places of business on the Quaker Road and yes he had seen parking on the Quaker Road end, where they could have parked elsewhere. SUPERVISOR WALTER - I spoke with Mr. Austin and he said he was very much r in favor of no parking because of the bicycle path being there. MR. GLEN GREGORY - Stated that approximately six months ago we had to go over that road to an automobile accident and there were cars parked on both sides of the road and the ambulance had trouble getting through.
