APPLICATION P.O. Box 99 • 1133 NYS Route 86 • Ray Brook, NY 12977 • Tel: (518) 891-4050 • www.apa.ny.gov April 20, 2022 Robert and Jean Tarrant – via email tarrant93@aol.com, jttarrant@gmail.com 41 Cliffside Drive Saratoga Springs, NY 12866 RE: Jurisdictional Determination J2022-0288 Tax Map Parcel 226.12-1-82 Land Use Area: Moderate Intensity Use Town of Queensbury, Warren County Dear Robert and Jean Tarrant: Thank you for your Jurisdictional Inquiry Form, received by the Agency on March 31, 2022. The zoning laws for the Town of Queensbury have been approved by the Adirondack Park Agency pursuant to § 807 of the Adirondack Park Agency Act. This means that certain permitting requirements and the shoreline setback restrictions of the Adirondack Park Agency Act are administered by the Town. In addition, shoreline setback variances issued by the Town are subject to review and possible reversal by the Agency. The replacement of the existing single family dwelling described in your submission and depicted on the map titled “Proposed Site Plan for Robert and Jean Tarrant” and dated March 30, 2022, does not require Agency approval; instead, review of this proposal will occur pursuant to the Town’s zoning laws. Please be sure to contact the Code Enforcement Officer or Zoning Administrator for the Town of Queensbury to determine compliance with the shoreline setback provisions and all other requirements. This letter makes no representation as to the approvability of your project under the Town’s laws. Please also remember that any shoreline setback variance issued by the Town may be reversed by this Agency. Based on wetland maps available for Warren County, there do not appear to be any wetlands on the property. However, please remember that all activities within the Adirondack Park must comply with the Freshwater Wetlands Act, and field inspection by Agency staff is the only way to confirm the presence of any wetlands. If you have reason to believe that any wetlands could be affected by the proposal, you are encouraged to contact the Agency to arrange a site visit prior to undertaking the Robert and Jean Tarrant April 20, 2022 Page 2 2 project. Additional information can be found on the Agency’s website at www.apa.ny.gov. Although your proposal does not require Agency approval, please help to prevent the spread of invasive species by ensuring all excavating tools, fill, and other equipment are thoroughly cleaned and that all fill is free of invasive species prior to use on-site. If any portion of the site contains invasives, all construction equipment and vehicles should be thoroughly cleaned prior to moving to other areas. If the proposal will involve any plantings, care should be taken to avoid the introduction of invasive species. Additional information on how to prevent the spread of invasive species in the Adirondack Park can be found at www.adkinvasives.com. This letter does not authorize the impairment of any easement, right, title, or interest in real or personal property, and shall not be construed to satisfy any legal obligations of the permittee to comply with all applicable laws and regulations or to obtain any governmental approval or permit from any entity other than the Agency, whether federal, State, regional or local. Again, we recommend that you check with Town authorities, to obtain all necessary approvals prior to commencing the project. Please do not hesitate to contact the Agency with any questions. Sincerely, /s/ Tracy J. Darrah Tracy J. Darrah Project Administrator cc: Town of Queensbury – via email
