MR. PALING-I'd like to just note the changes in tonight's agenda.
Mason/Krantz is as listed. The McDonald's Corporation will be
Preliminary subdivision only. The site plan and public hearing
will be put off until next month. Therefore, the McDonald's
Corporation on the second page is eliminated. The Frank Parillo
Recommendation Only is as it stands, but the second part of that
is eliminated. So that's all we have for agenda items, and then
I have some procedural items at the conclusion of the regular
bus i ness .
MR. BREWER-We didn't give Preliminary on McDonald's, did we?
MR. PALING-That's tonight.
MR. BREWER-We've got to do Final next month then?
MR. PALING-Yes.
MR. BREWER-And site plan.
MR. PALING-Yes. Okay, Cathy, do you want to go ahead?
MRS. LABOMBARD-Okay.

Now, there's no engineering.
Yours are the
MR. HARLICKER-Yes.
MR. PALING-Yes. Okay. There's no engineering comments on this.
Do you have a final print for this, or is the print I have here,
January the 11th, considered the final?
MR. STEVES-Yes, that is the final.
MR. PALING-That is? Okay. Maybe, Scott, then, you might
elaborate a little bit on what you mean by the geometry being
removed.
MR. HARLICKER-Leon can explain it.
MR. STEVES-My name is Leon Steves from Van Dusen and Steves. At
last week's meeting, I displayed a map on the wall. An easement
that showed the geometry of the driveway easement through lot
(lost word) as well as the entrance. That was a request prior to
this. Now, at this time, I've erased it off, and we're right
back to where it was.
MR. PALING-Yes, okay.
MR. OBERMAYER-I think the reason we did that was because, Just to
give you the option of placing the parking lots at the rear of
the site.
MR. STEVES-Exactly.

that is
MR. STEVES-Yes, it is.
MR. OBERMAYER-Okay, 50 feet is on Bay. So, really, that really
narrows it way down, in parts of it. So you are quite limited on
how much you really can move ~hat building eithex ~~y.
MR. STEVES-Yes, we are.
MR. OBERMAYER-Yes. So that's another .reason they ,probably took
it off" too, because you can't nece~sarilypush it to th. front.

MR. PALING-On Dix Avenue.
MR. HARLICKER-The Board requested that the building be moved back
farther from the property line, and also that the easements
accommodate the driveway, and that's, they've done that on the
plat supplied last week. Those seemed to be the major concerns
regarding the subdivision. If you'll remember that the details
regarding the site plan will be before the Board next month.
MR. PALING-Right. All right. Just for the record, or else I'm
missing it, I'm identifying the middle lot as Lot Number One.
The lot to it's right is Number Two, and is the lot to the far
left where King Fuel is Number Three? Where's Lot Number Three?
MR. BEELER-There is one parcel that's (lost word) square feet.
Mr. King (lost word) King Fuel.
MR. PALING-All right. I'm referring to the easement
under ingress and egress easement, where you refer
one, two and three.

to parcels
MR. BEELER-I did not study that. (lost word) put it together.
MR. PALING-Okay. You have identified where the McDonald's
building is, on previous prints, as Number One, and the lot to
it's right is Number Two, but on this print we have, there is,
you talk about parcels, but there's no parcel numbers, and I just
wanted to clarify that, this paragraph here, and we should have
them designated.
MR. BEELER-Parcel One is would be the parcel with McDonald's.
Parcel Two is this easement area here.
MR. PALING-Now prior prints have not identified, that's why I
marked this down, have identified this as Two.
MR. BEELER-For the subdivision, yes. This easement, I'm not
sure, the easement agreement, they're referring to Parcel Two
only as this small toward, we're getting an easement over,
ingress and egress, and this would be Parcel Three, the small
par cel .
MR. PALING-This is Number Three.
MR. OBERMAYER-There it is, right there.
MR. PALING-This is Three and this is Two. Okay.

Now that's in
MR. BEELER-When we subdivide, I mean, there is going to be, this
parcel is going to be (lost word) parcel. We don't need it, nor
are we getting an easement over this parcel here.

but for the record, the Parcel Number One

this right, tell me,
is identified as the
Parcel Number Two is
MR. OBERMAYER-Well, it's an easement over that.
MR. PALING-Excuse me, easement, new easement that they've got is
Parcel Number Two, and Parcel Number Three, if you follow away
from the Lot Number Two, across the McDonald property, it's that
little triangle.
MR. OBERMAYER-It's an easement over Lot Number Three, Bob.
MR. PALING-An easement.
MR. OBERMAYER-This is Lot Three.

MR. BEELER-Right now, the parcel that's being subdivided to this
parcel through here and here. This is already a separate parcel.
MR. PALING-Then this is Three. This is Two. This is One, and
what is this?
MR. BEELER-Well, for subdivision purposes, this is Two. For our
easement agreement, which are kind of two separate items,
easement agreement, our Parcel Two is just this parcel here.
MR. PALING-Okay. Scott, are you following all this stuff we're
saying, here?
MR. OBERMAYER-That's why you're getting an easement.
MR. BEELER-Right.
MR. OBERMAYER-Why is this? I guess I don't understand about this
one.
MR. BEELER-Mr. King is retaining this small sliver here because a
part of this curb cut falls over onto this property.
MR. OBERMAYER-Okay.
MR. BEELER-Because we're getting it, and he's going to be giving
us an easement over this parcel here, for ingress and egress, we
just kind of wrapped into.
MR. PALING-For the purposes of what we're doing now, preliminary
subdivision, you identify the lot for me.
MR. BEELER-This is McDonald's parcel, here.
MR. PALING-Number One? Can I call it Number One?
MR. BEELER-Yes.
MR. PALING-Okay, and what'll I call this?
MR. BEELER-Number Two.
MR. OBERMAYER-And that's all we need to know.
MR. PALING-That's all we need to know. Okay. All right.
MR. BREWER-I thought this whole subdivision was, King's was a
lot. McDonald's was a lot, and that other parcel was a third
lot? If they're getting an easement over the third lot, then
that's not creating another lot, is it? It's just giving them an
easement over it.
MR. PALING-That's just an easement. Right.
MR. BREWER-Right, so that's not a lot.
MR. PALING-Right.
MR. BREWER-Because if it's a lot, then it's a four lot
subdivision.
MR. PALING-It's just a little confusing, the way they have it
numbered in this document, as to what is on the paper, but he's
clarifying it for our purposes, as this on the right hand side is
Lot Number Two, and this is Lot Number One. That's all we really
need to know.
MR. BREWER-All right. So the easement portion isn't a lot.
MR. PALING-Yes, that's right.
The easements are not lots, and

I'm taking this reference off here. Okay.
Scott, you've finished your comments?
{ìll right.
Okay.
MR. HARLICKER-Yes.
MR. PALING-Okay, and there's no engineering to discuss?
MR. HARLICKER-Not for subdivision, no.
MR. PALING-Okay.
MR. BREWER-I just have one question. When they put this building
up, I don't know if it's pertinent now, but we asked them to move
the building back. Is the sign going to be in that right-of-way
when they widen that road? Should he move the sign back or not?
MR. HARLICKER-Well, the sign is on their property.
MR. BREWER-So it doesn't have to be setback?
MR. HARLICKER-No.

It's got to be 15 feet from their property
MR. BEELER-When they widen the road, then we would re-locate it
at that time if (lost word).
MR. BREWER-Okay.
MR. OBERMAYER-How wide is the throat of the opening on the road?
I see it's like 50, it's tough to tell.
MR. PALING-This is 56 feet across here.
MR. BEELER-The road is 39 feet.
MR. OBERMAYER-This is 39 here? And what's it down here? Thirty
down here. Okay, and over here, is this going to be heavy
traffic? I had a concern before about people coming down this
way and making a right hand turn. Do you think you're going to
see a lot of?
MR. BEELER-You're going to see some.
MR. OBERMAYER-Coming through the parking lot, I still have a
concern of cutting through, from Dix Avenue, cutting through the
parking lot, not Dix Avenue. I'm sorry, Quaker Road, 254, making
a right, instead of going up to the intersection. You're going
to see a lot of traffic in and out of here. Is this going to be
marked through here?
MRS. LABOMBARD-You mean cutting through the parking lot to get on
to Dix?
MR. OBERMAYER-No. Well, that could be ~ option, but the other
one is cut through the parking lot to go to McDonald's, even
people, like, coming from this way will do that.
MR. BEELER-We're not going to give any signage out there (lost
wor d ) .
MR. OBERMAYER-Okay.
MR. BEELER-There won't be the signage out there directing people
through the)-e.
MR. OBERMAYER-What was the reason for putting in this access
point to the gas station, just internalize it?
MR. BEELER-A couple, I believe, the neighbors next to us, cut
down on traffic going out, plus I thought it was a requirement,
- 6 -
'",--"
---
or suggestion from the staff from the last time, to internalize.
MR. OBERMAYER-I'm just worried about traffic cutting through.
MR. PALING-Yes, I know you brought this up before. Well, if it
gets extreme, I know McDonald's in South Glens Falls took some
action so they couldn't do that, and also at, on Glen Street,
they redid their, if it does become a problem.
MR. STARK-On the final, there's some comments made by the staff
about eight foot wide handicapped parking access aisles. You're
only showing five feet. On the final, are you going to have all
these corrected?
MR. HARLICKER-Well, that's for site plan. You don't have to
show, you know, right now you're looking at the division of the
property.
MR. STARK-You're right. I stand corrected.
MR. PALING-Okay. I thought you were just sort of giving him a
warning for next time.
MR. STARK-No, no. I stand corrected.
MR. BEELER-I thought it was discussed that we were going to try
and do prelimina,-y and final tonight?
MR. STARK-Well, we can't do it, because no public hearing was
scheduled.
MR. BEELER-Not for site plan, but just for subdivision.
MR. STARK-I thought we left it, last week, preliminary
final the first meeting and then site plan the second
next month, as long as you had it by April 1st.
and then
meeting
MR. BEELER-I thought we were going to do preliminary and final
tonight, and then we tabled the subdivision until the 21st.
MR. PALING-I don't think we want to do preliminary and final
tonight. I think we want to do final and then the site plan next
time.
MR. SCHACHNER-I think that's what you said last time, what you
just said, Bob.
MR. PALING-Yes.
MR. OBERMAYER-Do we have to have a public hearing?
MR. HARLICKER-Not for final, but you will for site plan.
MR. OBERMAYER-For site plan but not for the final. Okay.
MR. PALING-All right. I guess there's no more questions. I
think we can entertain a motion.
MR. HARLICKER-You still have to go through and do the SEQRA
pr ocess .
MR. PALING-Is this a short or a long?
MR. SCHACHNER-I think they submitted a long form.
MR. HARLICKER-Yes.
MR. PALING-It is long?
MR. HARLICKER-Yes.
- 7 -
I'm not sure.
MR. PALING-Okay. Make sure we're doing this right, Scott.
MR. HARLICKER-When you go through, you're also considering the
impacts of the site plan, subdivision and site plan.
MR. SCHACHNER-The entire project.
MR. PALING-Okay.
MR. BREWER-Can I make a comment first?
MR. PALING-Yes.
MR. BREWER-Should we have the engineering questions answered for
the subdivision? Is that appropriate, for the site plan, if
we're considering the whole project?
MR. HARLICKER-Yes. I spoke with Bill MacNamara today, and his
engineering comments are more technical in nature, and he's in
the process of working them out with the engineering, with the
applicant's engineer right now. He couldn't be with us tonight,
because they aren't around.
MR. BREWER-So all these are okay then?
MR. HARLICKER-It's nothing that cannot be worked out.
said, they're technicalities. There weren't any, to
term, any significant, major engineering concerns.
Like I
use his
MR. PALING-Well, should we refer to that in the motion then, this
evening, that the engineering comments will be addressed and met,
complied with?
MR. HARLICKER-Okay.
MR. PALING-When it comes, then, we can make that part of the
motion. Okay.
MR. BREWER-You don't think we should have them answered by our
engineer and their engineer to us? We're doing the SEQRA, aren't
1,.>Je?
MR. PALING-We're supposedly doing the SEQRA now.
MR. BREWER-Yes. but we've got to take all this stuff into
consideration, don't we? I mean, I didn't read through them. I
got my packet today with these things. Did everybody else read
through them? We got them tonight, right? I mean, I don't have
a problem with going ahead with it, but.
MR. PALING-Tim, identify which one you're talking about, now.
MR. BREWER-The stormwater report.
MR. OBERMAYER-Isn't that for the site plan, though, Tim?
MR. BREWER-Yes, but we have to consider it now, Jim, because
we're doing a SEQRA for the whole site plan and everything. So
you've got to ta,ke those into consider~tion tonight, if you' 1-e
going to do the preliminary subdivision. Maybe I'm wrong.
MR. PALING-I see what you're doing. That's coming out of.
MR. BREWER-They're coming from Rist-Frost. He's not here to
comment. Does McDonald's have an engineer to comment on them?
MR. BEELER-No, but the comments from Rist-Frost did, they did
review the grading and drainage plan and (lost word) as Scott

here.
They're right
MR. PALING-Now, in that this is preliminary subdivision, can we
go ahead, making reference to these, and then get a more detailed
explanation in the final?
MR. SCHACHNER-I think the one word answer to that's, yes, and I
don't know if this is where Tim's coming from or not, but I think
you have to keep in mind that you're looking at evaluating the
potential environmentally impacts of the overall project, and I
think that that means that as you go through the long form
environmental assessment form, if you reach questions that you
can't answer fully, until the engineering comments are addressed,
then I think you don't have enough information in front of you to
make your SEQRA determination, and you can't go forward with the
decision on preliminary subdivision, but if you go through these
things and you feel comfortable that you do have enough
information in front of you to make the determination that there
won't be significant environmental impact, then you can proceed.
It really depends on what your level of comfort is, in terms of
answering the questions in the long form EAF.

PETITION FOR ZONE CHANGE 4-94 RECOMMENDATION ONLY FRANK PARILLO
OWNER: SAME AS ABOVE LOCATION: NW CORNER OF VAN DUSEN &
PITCHER ROADS CURRENT ZONE: SR-1A PROPOSED ZONE: MOBILE HOME
OVERLAY PROPOSAL IS TO REZONE A 2.38 ACRE PARCEL TO MOBILE HOME
OVERLAY TO ALLOW FOR THE EXPANSION OF AN EXISTING MOBILE HOME
PARK. TAX MAP NO. 125-1-28
JOHN RICHARDS, REPRESENTING APPLICANT, PRESENT
MR. PALING-Okay. This is Just a recommendation only, for the
Town Board, is what we're doing.
STAFF INPUT
Notes from Staff, Petition No. 4-94, Frank Parillo, Meeting Date:
February 28, 1995 "A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant is
proposing to rezone a 2.38 acre parcel so that it is included in
the Mobile Home Overlay Zone. The underlying zone, which is SR-
lA, will not be changed. This rezoning will allow for the
expansion of an existing mobile home park. B. EXISTING LAND USE
CHARACTERISTICS The property currently contains a house and two
garages. Adjacent land uses include a mobile home park, single
family residences, Junk yards and vacant land. Residential is
the predominant land use in the area. C. ZONE CHANGE ANALYSIS:
1. What need is being met by the proposed change in zone or ne
zone? The applicant indicated that the rezoning will address the
need for affordable housing. Staff believes that this proposed
rezoning will allow the orderly expansion of the existing mobile
home park and the increased availability of affordable home
sites. 2. What proposed zones. if any. can meet the stated
need? As indicated by the applicant, the mobile home overlay
zones are the only areas of the Town in which mobile homes are
permitted. 3. How is the proposed zone compatible with adjacent
zones? The proposed rezoning is compatible with the adjacent
zones. The adjacent zones are SR-1A and LI-1A. The property is
surrounded on two sides by the existing mobile home park; on the
opposite side of Pitcher Road is SR-1A and on the other side of
Van Dusen Road is LI-lA. 4. What physical characteristics of
the site are suitable to the proposed zone? There does not
appear to be any physical limitations to the site which would
deem the site unsuitable for a mobile home park. The site is
relatively flat and well drained. Because the site is heavily
wooded, a great deal of clearing will be needed in preparation of
the mobile home sites. 5. How will the proposed zoning affect
public facilities? The rezoning should have a limited impact on
public facilities. The existing water service for the park will
be utilized and on site septic systems will be used. The site
will be accessed from the existing interior road network so
impact on Town roads will be minimal. 6. Why is the current
classification not appropriate for the property in question?
This parcel is surrounded on two sides by an existing mobile home
park and to include it in the mobile home overlay zone would be
the logical extension of the zone. 7. What are the
environmental impacts of the proposed change? The environmental
impacts of the proposed rezoning are minimal. Stormwater runoff
will increase when the property is developed and will have to be
- 12 -

./
.-/
retained on site. 8. How is the proposal compatible with the
relevant portions of the Comprehensive Land Use Master Plan? The
proposed rezoning will provide for a variety of affordable
housing as listed in the Comprehensive Plan. 9. How are the
wider interests of the community being served by this proposal?
The interests of the community are being served in that the stock
of affordable housing will be increased. D. SUMMARY AND
CONCLUSIONS It seems that the proposed rezoning is a natural
extension of the existing mobile home park. The rezoning will
have minor environmental impacts related to the clearing of the
property for mobile home sites. The goals, policies and
strategies of the comprehensive plan call for providing a variety
of affordable housing and the rezoning is compatible with these.
In light of the above, staff can recommend approval ¿f this
rezoning proposal."

MR. PALING-All right. I've got just a comment or a question.
When we do a rezoning like this, not we, but when we recommend
regarding this, there's not a new zone number. This is an
overlay, is that what you're saying?
MR. HARLICKER-Right. It's still going to be Suburban Residential
One Acre.
MR. PALING-Yes, it retains that, but you have an overlay, and,
therefore, yes, okay. All right. The only other questions I
have is, how about the capacity of the on-site septic systems
you're adding to, and what do we know about that?
MR. HARLICKER-The project is also subject, it will be back for a
site plan review, and they're currently working on it. They'll
be back for our regular site plan review.

MR. RICHARDS-That'll all be addressed in our site plan review.
MR. OBERMAYER-And traffic, traffic through.
MR. BREWER-If this is going to stay SR-1A, how many homes is that
going to allow them, with two acres?
MR. HARLICKER-With a mobile home park, you can get.
MR. BREWER-But it says there's no density for an overlay zone.
MR. HARLICKER-No, but there is for a mobile home park.
MR. BREWER-What's that density?
MR. HARLICKER-A thousand square feet, I think, for a mobile home
site.
MR. BREWER-You've got two and a half acres.
MR. RICHARDS-We have 12 sites that we feel that it would serve,
but, again, we'll all be back.
MR. BREWER-But the point is, if we allow this, if you're saying
6,000 feet.
- 13 -

MR. HARLICKER-Six thousand square feet.
MR. BREWER-Six into forty is, six. So, six, twelve, fifteen is
the maximum he could have there anyway, right, fifteen, give or
take.
MR. RICHARDS-And we're having 12, and we have a buffer zone.
We'd follow the requirements of the Mobile Home Ordinance.
MR. PALING-Okay.
MR. BREWER-The entrances, are the entrance and exit going to be
on Van Dusen, Pitcher or in the Park?
MR. RICHARDS-It's going to stay, there's going to be no new
entrances or exits onto the existing public roads.
MR. BREWER-So we'll say, if we recommend to approve this access
be only through the Park, via through the Park, is not a problem,
rather than make another curb cut?
MR. RICHARDS-We don't intend to make any new curb cuts.
MR. BREWER-Then it shouldn't be a problem then, right?
MR. RICHARDS-No. (lost word) There is an existing home on the
corner of the property which has a driveway going to Pitcher.
MR. BREWER-But that's right there on the corner.
MR. RICHARDS-We're not going to move that.
MR. BREWER-You're going to leave the home there?
MR. RICHARDS-The home's going to stay there for the immediate
future. We don't know long term. We don't want to be obligated
to shut down that driveway. We'd like to be able to keep that if
necessary, but that won't be tied in with the mobile home road,
the road within the Park.
MR. BREWER-So then that's not going to be part of the overlay
ZOni:3?
MR. RICHARDS-Yes. The whole corner is going to be part of the
overlay. It's going to be within the overlay zone.
MR. BREWER-So, I guess then why is it a problem to access the
Park and make it all one piece, is my only concern?
MR. RICHARDS-There's an existing driveway to an existing home.
MR. BREWER-Right.
MR. RICHARDS-We don't want to have to shut the driveway down.
MR. BREWER-No, not for that home, but I'm saying in the future,
if you ever tear that down.
MR. RICHARDS-Yes. We're not, this is a little premature, because
v..¡e haven't gone to si te plan rev iew yet, but this is the type of
pattern we're envisioning here. It does not have any curb cuts
for access to the main roadway within the Park on either Van
Dusen or Pitcher.
MR. BREWER-So that home, if it stays

MR. RICHARDS-If you took the structure down, it wouldn't be a

MR. BREWER-Okay, because my only concern is, a curb cut for one
house on the corner is not that big a deal, but if you put a curb
cut and put 13 or 14 mobile homes, then it becomes that big of a
deal. I guess that's my only question. I would like to see if
we can make a recommendation to approve it with that condition in

a proposed lot for a mobile home. That's 11.
MR. RICHARDS-That's just our preliminary.
MRS. LABOMBARD-I understand, but, see, when we first looked at
this, I thought Parcel Number One, we were under the impression,
or anyway I was, that Parcel Number One was going to remain
wooded and you weren't going to disrupt it.
MR. RICHARDS-Parcel Number One?
MRS. LABOMBARD-Well, on the map that ~ have right here. See,
there's a little dotted line right here that's about.

We're just making a
MRS. LABOMBARD-Yes. I understand, but I was just wondering where
those mobile homes were going to, how they were going to be
arranged on that piece of land.
MR. RICHARDS-No. We're going to utilize the entire corner of the
existing homes.
MRS. LABOMBARD-So the fact that there's no
Pitcher nor Van Dusen Road, it's just back

access to either
on to the main
MR. RICHARDS-That's correct.
MR. PALING-Okay.
MR. OBERMAYER-Do you own this home on the corner?
MR. PARILLO-Yes.
MR. OBERMAYER-You do? Okay. That's the only question L had.
MR. STARK-I don't think that we ought to, all we',-e called upon
is to make a recommendation to the Town Board, whether we
recommend approval. I don't think we ought to clutter it up with
restrictions on curb cuts and that, because we're going to site,
we're going to have site plan on this thing anyway. So we can do
it at that point.
MR. BREWER-But the only reason I said that, George, because if
we're thinking of that for site plan, that would be part of our
recommendation to approve it with that condition. What I'm
- 15 -
~
-,---,,"
thinking is, on the corner, one house on the corner's not a big
deal. You're Within, how many feet, what's the scale on this
map, where that driveway is?
MRS. LABOMBARD-One inch is 50 feet.
MR. BREWER-So you're talking about maybe 150 feet. You'll have
access to Pitcher Road with potentially 13 cars, within 150 feet
of the corner. I don't know if you travel that road.
MRS. LABOMBARD-I travel it almost seven times a week.
MR. BREWER-I think it's not an unreasonable request.
MRS. LABOMBARD-It's not. I agree with you.
MR. BREWER-I mean, we had a three lot subdivision, tonight, on
149 and Bay, We restricted the curb cut to the center lot, to
avoid any potential problems.
MR. STARK-That wasn't a recommendation to the Town Board.
MR. BREWER-I didn't say it was a recommendation. I said we
approved a subdivision with that condition. I don't think it's
unreasonable to say that you don't want to put 13 or possibly 20
cars coming out that close to the corner. I don't know how much
you drive that road, but I drive it every day, and kids go out
there and stand for the school bus.
MR. PALING-This is a

it's a possibility.
recommendation, and I don't think there's
with putting a caution in there. I think
MRS. LABOMBARD-And it'll open up the Town Board. The Town Board
will be more aware of it.
MR. STARK-How do you do that then, Mark?
MR. SCHACHNER-Yes. I think the way that Tim's discussing it, and
it's been done, just so you know, it has been done before in
recommendations about zone changes from this Board to the Town
Board. Some have had recommendations with certain proposed
condi Lions. Some have had recommendations wi th certai n conceì- ns
on the record. Typically, as I recall, the minutes go to the
Town Board anyway. So that just the fact that you've discussed
this issue will be brought to the Town Board's attention with the
minutes, but if you wish, you can make a recommendation in favor
of a proposed rezoning and you can recommend a condition along
with it. It's strictly a recommendation.
MRS. LABOMBARD-It sounds good to me.
MR. PALING-Why don't you make a motion and make that part of it,
Tim.
MR. STARK-That's fine. They can choose to disregard it.
MR. BREWER-Right. They can so, no, we won't rezone it, but that
would just be our particular recommendation.
MR. OBERMAYER-I think what's happening is that when you do come
back for site plan, that we're kind of against putting any access
close to that intersection.
MR. BREWER-Not for the home, only if, in fact, someday he removes
that home and decides to put another mobile home there or
whatever.
MR. OBERMAYER-I just wanted to leave you with that parting
thought.

With the condition being that access be maintained through the

ABSENT: Mr. Ruel, Mr. MacEwan
MR. STARK-Mr. Goodwin, he came in and asked if he could make a
few comments to the Board.
MR. PALING-Yes. Okay.
Goodwin, don't we?
I think we have a letter from Mr.
MR. OBERMAYER-Yes. I did see that letter.
MR. PALING-Why don't you come up to the microphone, Mr. Goodwin.
MRS. LABOMBARD-Bob, what's it pertain to?
MR. PALING-Quaker Plaza.
MR. GOODWIN-I think a poor road design entering Quaker Plaza.
MR. BREWER-I agree with you.
MR. OBERMAYER-This is O'Toole's.
MR. PALING-Yes, where you hit the, okay.
MR. OBERMAYER-You ran into the curb.
MR. PALING-For record purposes, identify yourself on the mic. Go
ahead.
MR. GOODWIN-My name is George Goodwin. I'm from Bolton Landing,
and I'm coming here to make an observation that I think the entry
to Quaker Plaza could be redesigned and improved. I blew out a
tire last fall coming in there, and you've got a curb, a divider
curb, that the paint not being, it's faded. You pull in Quaker
Road, and you expect to be going in there, and boom, you hit that
divider curb, coming from the west, coming into Quaker Plaza. If
you have a magic marker or something like that, I can.
MRS. LABOMBARD-Well, I'll tell you, I drove into there Saturday
night, and I very seldom go in there, and I was driving, and I
said to my husband, where in the world am I going? And he said,
Cathy, you're okay, just keep going to the right. I agree with
you.
MR. GOODWIN-Actually, it's a lot better now because you have the
snow divider. In other words, I did it in the middle of the day
time in October, and I've written the owner of the Plaza, gotten
no response. I called here and people thought it was
appropriate, and then I wrote, a second time, to the owners of
the Plaza, and it got returned. Their address in New York City,
hasn't been forwarded it properly, but it seems like, you know, I

spent $51 replacing a tire. It was your guys that came up with
the design. Does somebody want to come up with $51?
MR. BREWER-Wait J"ust one ml"nute. It wasn't any of our de~
"",igns.
MRS. LABOMBARD-None of our designs.
MR. GOODWIN-Okay. Well, somebody's design and somebody's not
been painting the median dividers to show you where the dividing
thi ng.
MR. BREWER-The whole Plaza's horrible. We had nothing to do with
it.
MR. GOODWIN-I'm just making that one observation, in other words,
that I blew out a tire and it looks like a lot of other people
hit that curb as well, and it doesn't look like it's been
painted. I don't know who's responsibility that is to be
painting it, but, if I were in there, I'd take a jackhammer, and
I'd take about the first six feet of that curb out and I'd paint
it, and although I was talking to Mr. Martin, he was saying the
reason that that divider is there is where you have Burger King,
people can pull a Uie in the middle of Quaker Road so that they
can get in there from the other direction.
MR. BREWER-You're talking about O'Toole's right?
MR. PALING-Yes, but where's Burger King?
MR. GOODWIN-No. I'm making an analogy. In other words, where
you've got Trustco, where you've got Blockbuster, where you've
got all the blue awnings and stuff like that, it's just right on
down this road, you take a right, and then Trustco Bank and
Blockbuster Video and stuff like that.
MR. BREWER-Where does Burger King come into it?
MR. GOODWIN-No, no. That leads to the analogy, is Mr. Martin
said that they didn't have that, and so at Burger King, somebody
coming from the east can pull a Uie in the middle of Quaker Road
and come in from the other direction. So the reason that that
was designed that way was somebody wouldn't be able to pull a Uie
in the middle of the road. So that was the original design.
MR. STARK-We don't have anything to say about this though.
MR. PALING-The minutes of our meeting do get circulated, and this
will be in there. We don't have any jurisdiction. We can
sympathize, because we all drive in it, too, and we dislike it
for even more reasons than you're bringing out tonight, but I
guess we can just say, thanks for your input. Although there's
not anything we can do directly.
MR. BREWER-You could take it to the Town Board.
MR. GOODWIN-Well, if you want to forward it to them. I mean, I'm
out $51 for a radial tire that I blew out hitting that thing, and
it seems like it's Queensbury who came up with that design, and I
think there's a design flaw there.
MR. BREWER-The design or architect that designed that Plaza came
up with it.
MR. GOODWIN-That's defined by the people here. Jim Martin said
that it was that design, that curb design going out was specified
in that Plaza so that people couldn't pull a Uie in the middle of
Quaker Road to go in there.
MR. PALING-Well, the curbage, the concept, I'm sure, might be
specified, but not the dimensions.

letter returned, is that what
MR. GOODWIN-Well, I wrote to a Charlie Sicard, who's the manager
of that, and I wrote the owners of that Plaza. He forwarded it.
I never got a response, but it seems like they were conforming
with a design, what was requested by Queensbury, whatever
Department it is. So it seems like, actually, the design flaw
lies upon Queensbury, whatever Department it is.
MR. PALING-No. I don't think so.
MRS. LABOMBARD-Lets say somebody got in a very serious accident
and there was a lawsuit that resulted, wouldn't the owners of
that property be liable, not the Town?
MR. GOODWIN-Well, if it was specified, in other words, if that
curb was specifically specified by Queensbury, whatever
Department it is, it seems like they complied with what was
required by Queensbury.
MR. PALING-Well, as I said before, if Queensbury said it, I think
they said it in concept. So it would prevent the U-turn or that
kind of thing, but they wouldn't say how high, wide or long or
anything would be. That would be up to the design, the owner's
design. We wouldn't enter into that, but would still prevent the
bad turn into the Plaza, by the conceptual suggestion.
MR. BREWER-Well, I think if it's been designed or approved design
by the Planning Board, it's within our standards. If we set up
something for McDonald's, and we tell them that they're curb cut
has to be 16 foot wide, you go over the top of that curb, that's
nei ther .
MR. GOODWIN-But you pretend that you're driving along Quaker
Road, and you know where the entrance to Quaker Plaza is, and,
you know, the paint has deteriorated off the roadway, so that
you're just pulling in there, and chances are you're going to hit
that curb and blowout your tire as well.
MR. BREWER-I agree with what you're saying, but it happens every
winter. I mean, the stripes on the road just don't hold up to
the plows and the.
MR. GOODWIN-Well, this was last fall. I mean, this was when the
weather condition was perfect, and everything else. So it wasn't
snow. It's easier to see it now because the snow has got it
delineated. It's divided and stuff like that.
MR. BREWER-I don't really know what you can do, other than try to
go after them. I mean, there's nothing we can do about it. It's
kind of after the fact.
MR. GOODWIN-But it seems like the design came from Queensbury.
MR. PALING-No. I don't think so.
MRS. LABOMBARD-They submitted the design. It met all specs.
MR. GOODWIN-But from what Mr. Martin was saying, they specified
those specs.
MR. BREWER-Okay. Bottom line, I guess, what is it you want us to
do?

MR. GOODWIN-Two things. On~, I think it's a poor design, so try
and save other people's tires, and if somebody, whether it's
Queensbury or the owners of the Plaza was to recompensate me $51
for that tire that I blew out, that would be nice.
MRS. LABOMBARD-Write a letter to the paper.
MR. PALING-I think we've heard your complaint, and you've heard
what we've had to say, and I'm afraid that there is really
nothing that we can commit to to do for you. I'd refer you,
perhaps, back to Jim Martin or to the owners of the Plaza, or

MR. OBERMAYER-I don't think we ought to even get into that.
MR. GOODWIN-Okay. Thank you.
MR. PALING-Thank you. I've just got a couple, three items here.
Now the next site visit will be four o'clock, Wednesday
afternoon, March 15th, okay. The next two regularly scheduled
Planning Board meetings will be on March 21st and March 28th.
Okay. Now I would point out that I discovered today that we
cannot have any kind of an unannounced get together of any kind,
site visit or anything else, unless it's advertised. Okay.
MR. OBERMAYER-You mean, for example, Walmart?
MR. PALING-Yes, right. So I just want to say, we can't, if you
have less than a quorum, you can do it. If you have a quorum or
more, you can't do it. You can't visit a site and all that sort
of ~3tuff. Okay.
MR. OBERMAYER-But what about our site visit, is that advertised?
MR. PALING-Yes, the site visits are advertised. Yes. Okay.
Now, I was a little wishy washy the last meeting, in regard to
this preliminary and final on a subdivision. I brought that up
today with Scott and Jim, Pam and all that, and there is good
reason not to put the two together, and one is that they've had
bad experience, in the past, with missing things. You hurry
something through and you miss too many things. The other thing
is that if we let it go for one, then it's going to be stretched
to everybody. So I think I indicated I felt otherwise last
meeting, but since talking to them, I don't, I feel now we should
go by the book.
MR. STARK-What about having final and site review on that last

one?
MR. PALING-I don't think there's a problem with that.
MR. BREWER-No, because if you go to the final. You don't go thO
the site plan until you approve the final, so if you go to t e
site plan, you come up with some problem, you can always table
the site plan. So that's not a big deal.
MR. PALING-Yes. So that's okay.
MR. BREWER-But to do what we were talking about last week, it was
crazy. To do the preliminary and final and site plan in one
meeting is absolutely crazy.
MR. PALING-Okay. I'm gone through the 20th, and Jim will act in
my behalf during that period.

this letter to Mr. Fane regarding
MR. PALING-Dream Lake Sand and Gravel?
MRS. LABOMBARD-Could somebody run that by me a little bit?
MR. BREWER-We didn't do anything with it.
MR. SCHACHNER-It's not on the agenda for anything. Jim just gave
a quick history of what went on there. To the best of m.:L..
recollection, wasn't the issue that Mr. Fane, I think he didn't
feel that he had a Town issue. That he only felt he had a DEC
issue, and I think Jim, I think the packet was basically Jim's
subtle tactful delicate way of pointing out to Mr. Fane that if
there was any inquiries over the existing operation, in addition
to whatever else he needed from DEC, he also needed site plan
approval from the Town Planning Board. I mean, it was only in
our packages for informational purposes.
MRS. LABOMBARD-That's what I thought. Okay. Thanks, Mark.
MR. PALING-Okay. Does anybody have anything else?
MRS. LABOMBARD-How many of these McDonald's maps should we save?
MR. BREWER-None, they should be in the new packet for next month,
shouldn't they?
MR. HARLICKER-Yes.
MR. PALING-Is it an all new packet? We can throw everything away
on the McDonald's?
MR. OBERMAYER-I was going to hold on to all that stuff.
MR. HARLICKER-Keep the McDonald's site plan.
MR. BREWER-How is it going to be the same, though Scott, if he's
got to change the dimensions and everything on the driveway and
everything.
MR. HARLICKER-That's true. Okay.

MR. BREWER-Throw them away.
MR. OBERMAYER-There are some comments you might want to save,
though, from Rist-Frost.
MRS. LABOMBARD-What about the sewage maps, the drainage maps?
MR. OBERMAYER-Are you going to reproduce that stuff again, Scott?
MR. PALING-I'm just going to hold mine until it's done, then 1
don't have to worry.
MR. HARLICKER-Yes. I haven't compared the stuff that he just
recently submitted with the stuff that's in the site plan. So I
don't know if they're the same or not. Like Jim said, they've
got to change some of the dimensions on the site plan, or adding
dimensions to it.
MR. PALING-Walmart will be back when they have their prints done
and submitted to Scott.
MR. HARLICKER-They're supposed to have them to us tomorrow.
MR. PALING-Okay. When will I put them on the agenda?
MR. HARLICKER-For March.
MR. PALING-The 21st?
MR. HARLICKER-We haven't set the agenda yet.

It's either the
MRS. LABOMBARD-Are you at liberty to tell us anything about the
John Brock, except for what we read in the paper?
MR. STARK-The status of the lawsuit, you haven't heard anything?
MR. PALING-Two lawsuits.
MRS. LABOMBARD-Yes, the Glen Lake.
MR. PALING-Well, you've got Seeley and you've got the Great
Escape.
MR. SCHACHNER-There's no Seeley litigation against the Planning
Board, is there?
MR. BREWER-There's a violation against Seeley.
MR. SCHACHNER-Right, but that doesn't, that's not Planning Board.
MR. BREWER-Yes, it is.
MR. SCHACHNER-How is it Planning Board?
MR. BREWER-Well, he went against what we told him.
not to fill in the stream.
We told him
MR. SCHACHNER-Right, but that's a zoning enforcement action,
that's not a planning Board issue. The update on the litigation
is only that the other attorney's, to my chagrin and over my
objections, filed additional, yet another set of papers, and we
responded with some papers that we sent Jim copies of. The case
has all been submitted. The papers are in. I expect Judge Dyer
to rule some time within the next several weeks, but who knows
when.
MR. PALING-He'll just rule on what he has, and what he's getting?
MR. SCHACHNER-Correct.
Yes. He has indicated, the one time we

further oral argument in the case, strictly on the papers.
MR. PALING-Okay. Do we have a motion to adjourn?
MR. STARK-I'd make a motion to adjourn the meeting.
MRS. LABOMBARD-I second it.
On motion meeting was adjourned.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,
