APPLICATION: Site Plan 43-2003
APPLICANT: Abmast Inc. is the applicant for this request.
REQUESTED ACTION: The applicant proposes to construct a 10,000 sq. ft. warehouse
building with associated parking, lighting and landscaping.
LOCATION: The subject property is located on Carey Rd., south of Corinth Road in the Carey
Industrial Park.
EXISTING ZONING: The property is zoned LI, Light Industry.
SEQRA STATUS: This application is a SEQRA Unlisted Action. The applicant has included a
SEQRA short EAF.
PARCEL HISTORY: A search of the parcel history found other site plan approvals within
Carey Industrial Park, along with SB 6-1987, Northern Distributing, which created the lots
within this subdivision.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant proposes to construct a 10,000 sq. ft. warehouse
with associated parking, lighting and landscaping. The applicant has submitted a stormwater
management report that has been sent to CT Male for their review and comment.
STAFF COMMENTS: The site lighting plan indicates three wall pack lights to be used near the
building entrance and the proposed loading docks. Although the light levels appear to be
consistent with Town lighting standards, no cut-sheets have been provided for these wall packs.
Are any other wall packs or free standing lights proposed?
In order to allow trucks the ability to access the loading docks, the two proposed vehicular access
points seem reasonable. Staff does not anticipate any access difficulties along Carey Rd. as a
result of these two access points.
Any comments from CT Male should be addressed during the review of this application.

• This project is located within the Queensbury consolidated water district and sufficient
water is available to meet domestic needs.
• The preliminary plans for this project have been reviewed by this department and have
been approved.
• The water meter must meet Queensbury Water standards and be supplied by the
applicant.
