TOM JARRETT, REPRESENTING APPLICANT,PRESENT;JAMES BROWN,PRESENT
MR. TRAVER-Laura?
MRS. MOORE-This is an application to construct a new single family home. The project requires an
access drive to the newhome from an existing private road called Shop Road through an adjoining property
to the new homeowner's lot. The applicant received a variance the other evening in reference to an access.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you. Good evening. Welcome back.
MR.JARRETT-Good evening. For the record Tom Jarrett of Jarrett Engineers. With me,as last week,is
Jim Brown,the owner of the two parcels,and Mrs.Stark,the owner of the parcel to the north. We broadly
reviewed the project last week, but for purposes of the public hearing, Mr. Brown wishes to build one
single family house on his two parcels that total about 45 acres together. Access would be via Shop Road
which is owned by the Starks because access off of 9L for these two parcels would be troublesome to say
the least. The Zoning Board agreed with that assessment. They liked the solution of using Shop Road
and they approved the variance last night. The access from Shop Road to the south to the building site
would be via largely an existing logging road with some trails and the house site is actually on an old log
landing. So very few trees have to be cut. There are two or three at most. We're planning an on-site
5
(Queensbury Planning Board OS/25/2022)
wastewater disposal system, an on-site well, and stormwater management for both house site and the
driveway. We can zero in on any issues or concerns that the Board might have.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. Were there any changes from when we looked at this previously after your
discussion with the ZBA?
MR.JARRETT-No.
MR. TRAVER-All right. Thank you. Questions, comments from members of the Board? We do have a
public hearing on this application. Is there anyone in the audience that wanted to address the Planning
Board on this application? I'm not seeing any. Are there any written comments,Laura?
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED
MRS. MOORE-There are no written comments.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you. Therefore we will go ahead and close the public hearing.
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
MR. TRAVER-Last call for any questions, comments. We did look at this previously. It's fairly
straightforward. All right. Then I believe we have a draft resolution.

MRS. MOORE-So this application is being tabled this evening for the Randles. They need to do an
additional variance or a new variance type in reference to the shoreline setback. I'm having the Board
table it to the first meeting in September. My understanding is there'll be a Planning Board
recommendation. If that changes then I'll let the Board know what that process is,but right now we're
going to have it tabled for a Planning Board recommendation to the first meeting in September.

BRANDON FERGUSON,REPRESENTING APPLICANT,PRESENT
MR. TRAVER-Laura?
MRS. MOORE-So this application is demolishing an existing home and constructing a new home.
Footprint is 2,658 with anew floor area of 4,378. The project includes new septic system,updated parking
and shared access arrangement, shoreline planting areas and stormwater management. The project is
similar to a previous project done in 2021, in reference to building an addition on top of an existing or
building additions on to the existing home. At this point this applicant is taking an opportunity to see if
they can demo the building and at last night's meeting for the variance they received those variances.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you. Good evening. Welcome back.
MR. FERGUSON-Good evening. Brandon Ferguson from Environmental Design Partnership. I'm here
representing the Chases tonight. So as Laura kind of said this project you guys have seen before. This site
plan is the same site plan that was approved last year. The big difference being that we were proposing
to renovate and use a portion of the existing building. Now it's a complete demolition because when the
builder came,looked at the foundation,he saw a number of issues and he said he wasn't willing to build
on that structure and that he'd go back to the architects and have a re-design with the foundation. So that
was what was done. So the plan in front of you today is the same one you guys approved last year. It's the
proposed house. We got the variances last night for shoreline setback, side yards, as well as stormwater
to the lake. So we received those variances. This is a minor stormwater. We did get LaBella's signoff the
8
(Queensbury Planning Board OS/25/2022)
other day. We are doing stormwater on the site. There is none now. As part of this project we're also
installing a brand new septic system that's going to have a BTU unit. We got Board of Health variances
last year for that. So overall this is a big upgrade to this property. I'll turn it back to you if you have any
questions.
MR. TRAVER-So when we looked at this before and then you made a recommendation to the ZBA, you
visited the ZBA,you got your variances. As a result of those discussions, are there any changes to your
plan from what we saw previously?
MR. FERGUSON-No.
MR. TRAVER-Questions, comments from members of the Board? We do have a public hearing on this
application as well. Is there anyone in the audience that wanted to address the Planning Board on Dark
Bay Lane,LLC? I'm not seeing any. Are there written comments,Laura?
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED
MRS. MOORE-There are no written comments.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. Then we will close the public hearing.
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
MR. TRAVER-If there's no further questions, further clarification needed from the Board, we have a
resolution. We can proceed.

MR. TRAVER-Laura?
MRS. MOORE-This application is in reference to construction of decking along the shoreline. The
applicant was before the Zoning Board last night and received the variance for that work, for setback
issues. The note that I highlighted is that at the moment it's 82 square feet overbuilt.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you. Good evening. Welcome back.
MR. FRANCIS-Good evening.

(Queensbury Planning Board OS/25/2022)
MR. TRAVER-So here we are after quite a bit of discussion and re-design and a lot of effort on your part
which we appreciate.
MR. MAGOWAN-A lot of measuring.
MR. TRAVER-A lot of measuring,yes,probably measuring twice. So you had your discussion with the
ZBA. Were there any changes from what we last saw as a result of that?
MR. GAZETOS-No,sir. It's the same drawing. That version doesn't have the pink,but that was with the
walkways and by the deck and the deck on the boathouse. So it's the same drawing that you guys saw.
MR. DEEB-Morgan,did you introduce yourself.
MR. GAZETOS-Sorry. Morgan Gazetos from Lake George Docks with Greg Francis.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. So back to us again we've seen this a few times. Any follow up questions from
members of the Board regarding this?
MR. MAGOWAN-Again, I'd just like to thank you both for all your hard work and measuring and
calculating,and your kindness and understanding and enlightening us as to why this happened. So thank
you both.
MR. GAZETOS-Thankyou,Mr. Magowan.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. Let's see,we also have a public hearing on this application as well. Is there anyone
in the audience that wanted to address the Planning Board on this application? I'm not seeing any.
Written comments,Laura?
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED
MRS. MOORE-I have written comments.
MR. TRAVER-Okay.
MRS.MOO RE-This is addressed to the Zoning Board,but was put in the Planning Board's file. "The Catlin
property abuts Mr. Francis's property on the south side—close to his boathouse. My experience over the
period of his ownership of this property is that Mr.Francis is an excellent steward of the land and the lake.
The Shoreline pathway from the dock to the boathouse provides a safe, unobstructed pathway. It has
little if any impact on the environment. It is a great safety measure as it prevents walking on the rocky,
rooted landscape with little foot support. The previous rooted, rock path was unsafe at best and in the
past has caused many falls. In my opinion the new decking is a great safety measure as it is and should not
be disturbed. Sincerely,Jude H. Catlin" 5 Grey Ledges Drive.
MR. FRANCIS-She's actually on the north side,not the south side.
MRS. MOORE-This one's from the Scrim's. "I am writing on behalf of my neighbor, Gregory Francis, in
regard to his property located on 2939 Route 9L. I am aware of Mr. Francis's plans to replace his existing
deck structures. The proposed plan and construction will not cause any disturbance to me or any of the
surrounding area. I look forward to the improvements and the positive effects it will have on my property
and the Town of Queensbury. Thank you for your kind consideration in this matter. Sincerely, Sharon
Scrim"

MIKE PARDY, REPRESENTING APPLICANT,PRESENT
MR. TRAVER-Laura?
MRS. MOORE-So the applicant proposes to install a ISO foot of privacy fence at six foot in height along
the southern property line and actually not the entire length. It doesn't extend the entire length. I'll just
say that,and because it's commercial property,fences require Site Plan Review.
MR. TRAVER-Interesting. Okay. Good evening. Welcome.
MR. PARDY-Hi. My name's Mike Pardy. I'm the owner of Adirondack Winery with my wife. We're
proposing to put up a ISO foot fence. Pretty much the way she just described. It doesn't go quite all the
way back, you can see up there. It goes about 2/3rds of the way up our property with the intention of
giving us a little privacy with our neighbors who we like very much and they're great neighbors to have,
but they have a lot of big trucks and it doesn't quite fit with the wine motif. It's just a six foot high fence.
I believe there's a picture included with that. It's just a standard vinyl fence that hopefully will last forever
because they're expensive.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. It seems fairly straightforward. Thank you. Questions,comments from members
of the Board?
MR.DEEB-I did go over and look at it yesterday. You're not going to put it on the warehouse side? You're
just going to put it on the south side,right?
MR. PARDY-Yes.
MR. DEEB-And you're going to go to the back of the building?
MR. PARDY-Yes. It goes,the easiest way to picture it is if you start at the back of the property,it starts
right out where I guess it's a retention pond, not enough water these days. It starts there and works its
way to the front,and so it's used more towards the back of the property,just about where the front of our
building starts. So if you stand in front you wouldn't really see the parking lot.
MR. DEEB-It does look good. You've got your tables out there. And it's interesting the comment you
made in the beginning. An industrial zone,that's a bold move. It looks good.
MR. TRAVER-Other questions,comments? We do have a public hearing on this application as well. Is
there anyone in the audience that wanted to address the Planning Board on Adirondack Winery,Site Plan
53-2022? I'm not seeing any takers. Are there any written comments?
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED
MRS. MOORE-There are no written comments, but I did want to make a quick comment. This
application has an as-built to it. So if we can have the fence placed on the as-built drawing that was
completed for the site,that would be better. This is an old,this is like the original drawing.
13
(Queensbury Planning Board OS/25/2022)
MR. TRAVER-We can add that
MRS. MOORE-Yes,if you could. And we can go over that information.
MR. TRAVER-Okay.
MRS.MOORE-There's an as-built site plan for this site because it's a new building and Bruce had done an
inspection on the site and this should be added to that plan. That way it's a complete as-built plan for
future use if you need it. You need to close your public hearing.
MR. TRAVER-I'm sorry. I'll close the public hearing. My apologies.

DAN HUNT, PRESENT
MR. TRAVER-Laura?
MRS. MOORE-Okay. So this applicant is proposing to go to the Town Board. We received a
recommendation referral from the Town Board. It has to go through a SEQR process with the Planning
Board and at this point the applicant is seeking to add Manufactured Home Overlay zone to this particular
parcel. What I included in your packet was the Mobile Home Overlay zones. They're not all containing
mobile home parks. So what we did was we labeled the areas that did have parks so you would know that
there was a portion of that overlay zone in each area that had a park. It's hard to describe, and so this
applicant is proposing to add that to this one parcel. In the past this applicant had,not this applicant but
previous approval back in'64 was an approval for seven mobile homes on that lot. It ended up being eight.
This applicant is only proposing six. Two of them at this point in time are approved because that was
what was approved through building permit process and existed previously. So the applicant is now
asking,once the mobile home overlay gets approved,the applicant will be before the Board in reference to
placing these six mobile homes,or four mobile homes on the lot.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. So the actions that we would take tonight are basically to seek Lead Agency?
MRS. MOORE-Correct,it has to wait the 30 days, and then the Board, after they seek Lead Agency,they
can accept Lead Agency and proceed with the SEQR and a recommendation.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. So that would happen next month or the month after?
15
(Queensbury Planning Board OS/25/2022)
MRS. MOORE-Supposedly next month. It should be the second meeting because if I time out 30 days
from now,I think it ends up being past the first meeting.
MR. TRAVER-So if we pass a resolution to seek Lead Agency, would we also do a tabling motion until
September 27th?
MRS.MOORE-It's seek Lead Agency status within the 30 days. I mean the process dictates the time clock.
MR. TRAVER-So it'll take care of itself. All right. Thank you for that clarification. Good evening.
Welcome. Tell us about your project.
MR. HUNT-Yes, sir. Daniel Hunt, owner of 3 Pinello Road. The project is, like Laura said it's been a
mobile home park since 1960 early sixties,and it was seven units and then it was eight,and it was eight for
years, and years and years. I purchased it like four years ago with two units on it. I basically cleared
everything off the property and started over and got all my approvals through the Department of Health
for the six unit layout, all brand new septics, brand new water lines, brand new lighting, brand new
landscaping,brand new blacktop, 100%of the park is going to be transferred brand new. So I currently
have two building permits from the Town of Queensbury for the two,there's six. There's going to be two
on the eastern side of the property. So basically I guess part of the process is to get the zoning, that
property to be included in the Mobile Home Overlay zone.
MR. TRAVER-So if it was,was it re-zoned,Laura,since it had the permit for eight?
MRS. MOORE-No. So it didn't fall into getting re-zoned when there was I guess the mass re-zoning
process. That property failed to get the necessary approvals at that time.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. So it's like a pre-existing,nonconforming?
MRS. MOORE-Correct.
MR.TRAVER-I see. So now we're seeking the clarification and the identification of it as an identified and
approved mobile home overlay?
MRS. MOORE-Yes.
MR. TRAVER-And also for the six mobile homes.
MRS.MOO RE-It'll be four. It's six total,but four,it needs to be noted as a mobile home overlay,and then
you would look at it for the mobile home park.
MR. TRAVER-So first the overlay, and then the specifics of the site plan.
MRS. MOORE-Correct.
MR. TRAVER-I see on our agenda it says public hearing,but if we're just seeking Lead Agency.
MRS.MOO RE-It just starts a clock. You can listen to public comment if you wish to. The public hearing
will remain open.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. All right. Very good.
MRS. MOORE-That way you have some information ahead of time as part of your review process.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. So tonight then our only,just for members of the Board,you heard from Laura,but
basically our action,our primary action tonight is to seek Lead Agency. We'll have a motion to that effect,
but we can take public comment,and we can certainly ask Mr. Hunt questions if you have them. So why
don't we start with that. We'll let members of the Board ask some initial questions, comments to Mr.
Hunt as he seeks to make this overlay zone.
MR. MAGOWAN-Mr. Chairman,I've got a few questions.
MR. TRAVER-Yes,sir.
MR. MAGOWAN-Mr.Hunt,who's going to own these mobile homes?
MR.HUNT-The tenants that move into the lots.
MR. MAGOWAN-So the tenants are going to own them.
16
(Queensbury Planning Board OS/25/2022)
MR.HUNT-Correct. Yes.
MR. MAGOWAN-And they're all going to be new?
MR.HUNT-Brand new.
MR. MAGOWAN-Now they're going to maintain them?
MR.HUNT-That is correct.
MR. MAGOWAN-Okay. The next question I have is on your print there you have 24 by 24 inch pads,
parking lot pads. Right?
MR.HUNT-That's an error. That's going to be 20 by 20. Because it's 20 feet distance between each home.
MR.MAGO WAN-Right. So you're going right up against the trailer,the mobile home,to the other mobile
home.
MR.HUNT-Pretty close.
MR. MAGOWAN-If you're 20 feet apart and you're 20 by 20.
MR.HUNT-I think we might have changed them again.
MR. MAGOWAN-So,I mean if you're starting to make them smaller.
MR.HUNT-The parking spaces?
MR. MAGOWAN-Yes. Now you're going to get into really one car.
MR. HUNT-So I just want to clarify. The target for this mobile home park is going to be for seniors. So
pretty much I'm thinking most of them are going to want smaller cars. So that's the plan, to market to
seniors.
MR.MAGO WAN-Okay,and that brings up another question,because I did read that. Now what happens
if you get two seniors and you can't get anymore?
MR. HUNT-I don't foresee that being a problem at all. I am very good friends with Gabriel Williams of
Lamplighter, and he has people in constantly for that need and he said it would be no problem to fill that
up.
MR. MAGOWAN-See I guess my concern is because I visited the lot, and I'm looking at the design with
the trees and the growing, and I have, I personally have a problem with six. With the driveways and
everything else that really gives nothing, and 20 feet apart,you know, so many feet deep. You've got to
figure at least a car and a half if not two cars. I mean 55,you've still got people working. So there's going
to be two cars., So you've got to figure two cars.
MR. HUNT-Yes, we talked about that a little bit and if we had to we could increase it in the front of the
homes,too,the parking area.
MR. MAGOWAN-Now that changes everything,or if you go down to four spaces you can go with a little
wider driveway and it gives it a little bit more distance. Twenty feet isn't much.
MR.HUNT-All right,but it meets the criteria,though. It is legal to do that.
MR. MAGOWAN-I'm not saying that it isn't. I'm saying that, you know, for planning purposes, we're
doing and overlay and we've got to do site plan review, I don't feel comfortable with that,looking at the
overview of the rest of the street,which is primarily single family homes,but that was the questions that I
saw. I saw the 24 pad and the 20 feet across. It wasn't adding up. So I took a closer and kind of walked
it,you know, on the road, and really if you could feasibly do it with the four, I think it would be a nicer
looking and more appealing lot for 55 and over. Some people would like a little bit more yard.
MR. HUNT-I was thinking just the opposite. The older they are there's a lot of snow in the yard to
maintain.
MR. TRAVER-Well you have something to think about as we move forward. Eventually we'll be doing
site plan review. So you've had some comment for that. Are there other questions, comments from
members of the Board? Does anyone have any concerns about accepting Lead Agency status?
17
(Queensbury Planning Board OS/25/2022)
MR. DEEB-How many pads are out there now?
MR.HUNT-There's six.
MR. DEEB-There are six. It's laid out nicely from what I can see. My original concern was six might be
too many.
MR.HUNT-Did you drive right in and pull right in to one of those spots?
MR. DEEB-I thought four would be the right number for that myself, but after looking at it, I mean, it
might be able to be done with six,but I'm still up in the air on that,but I did see that the rest of,down the
street,the rest of the homes in that area were mostly manufactured mobile homes.
MR.HUNT-Right.
MR. DEEB-It fits in with the area itself. Which is one of my first concerns.
MR. TRAVER-So even if we go through site plan review and you were to,hypothetically let's say,reduce
the number,we'd still have to deal with creation of the overlay zone.
MR.HUNT-Yes.
MR. DIXON-We do have someone who wants to make public comment.
MR. TRAVER-Sure. Okay. I will open the public hearing on this application and is there someone in the
audience that wanted to comment on this? Yes,sir.
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED
GARY BANTA
MR. BANTA-Hello, Board. My name is Gary Banta. I'm representing Raymond W. Butler, a property
owner who has been there for 60 years, the adjacent property owner to the east, and he owns property
now. Ray was interested in buying the property but his health is very bad. Heart surgery. I'm his POA.
The issue being,originally we were told perhaps four trailers,but not more than four and the property line
is where the trailer would be is as close as from you to me. Ray's hedge that he and I put in 45 years ago,
and when Dan bought it,he didn't intend it to happen,but they skinned the whole west side toward the
mountain of those trees that were total privacy. That's not the big issue. The big issue is for years there
were unoccupied trailers there that were falling apart. With the help of his,Ray's,Town Councilman. To
begin with,we were told three to four trailers maximum,and that Dan was going to own the property and
the trailers and maintain them, and we know he's a very particular man and does everything beautifully,
and we like it,but to have six trailers. If any one of you folks lived this close, especially Ray who's now
S4. Would you want that to happen? We had a big problem to get rid of the existing trailers that were
previously there. They were having rats and snakes and woodchucks and everything living in there.
MR. TRAVER-Well he's represented that these will be brand new trailers.
MR.BANTA-Yes.
MR. TRAVER-It sounds like your issue is the number of trailers, not allowing the trailers, but rather
having,you believe that six is too many for this site?
MR. BANTA-Yes. And I believe anybody else that would want to be their neighbor wouldn't want that
either, and I believe these gentlemen visited the property. So you know, and Ray lives in the house right
adjacent which is always maintained beautifully. I've helped him since I was a child and his wife. We
were always very close,but anyway, to make a long story short, 60 years ago the folks that owned it had
little trailers,kind of like what we'd call a camping trailer on that parcel,that was different because it was
a different time,people were respectful and there were two owners since then. We had to get help through
Bill Vanness to get those trailers that were housing, and the grass wasn't cut. It was this tall. It was a
horrible mess,but Bill Vanness came to our rescue because at the time he was Ray's Ward person. He was
great. Ray was going to buy the lot. I'm probably his best friend in the world and we've been together for
years,but I convinced him not to buy that lot. He wanted to keep it as a park,but his health wasn't well
enough for what needed to be done and he would become frustrated with his inability to do those things
and had tree men that didn't come and workers that didn't,at the time when Dan bought it,it was a pit. I
mean the two worst trailers were gone,but the two terrible ones were left. One had a tree down through
the middle of the trailer. The guy had been living in it for a year with a tarp over it, and we contacted to
get help,but nobody helped. I mean the poor guy,I felt sorry for him,but I mean who would live like that?
And then in the back was a double wide that was,we couldn't even go in our backyard or Ray's backyard
1S
(Queensbury Planning Board OS/25/2022)
to do work out there without becoming ill because of the dog feces and the smell of animals. They had a
fish pond that went to.
MR. TRAVER-Well that's very interesting, sir, but would you mind confining your comments to the
application that we have in front of us.
MR.BANTA-I'll do my best.
MR. DEEB-I mean the lot looks good now. Do you agree? It looks really good.
MR.BANTA-I have no doubt about that,but that number of trailers. If any of you lived next to that.
MR. TRAVER-We understand your concern. So thank you very much.
MR.BANTA-Well this is for Raymond Butler. Now I'm not quite finished. The original park was called
Groom's Trailer Park. That was like 60 years ago, and then after that it was owned by two other people
and you should have that in all the records. I'm sure you do,but they neglected it so bad, and Almy was
the second owner after the Grooms who owned it as the first trailer park. Well Almy didn't do anything
but let it go downhill and then someone named Mohammed owned it last,and I believe he went to Canada,
but anyway his daughter sold the property,and anyway that's neither here nor there,but it's important to
tell you this. The old trailers,they weren't livable because the septic was running underground.
MR. TRAVER-And they're now gone.
MR.BANTA-But still,like I said,if any of you lived in that house where Ray lives,you wouldn't want that
many trailers on the other side of your fence and very close to your lot.
MR. TRAVER-We understand your concern with the number of trailers,sir. Any other specific concerns
regarding the application that we're looking at this evening?
MR. BANTA-Well originally we were told he was going to own the park,not sell the lots to individuals.
There would be seniors in there. The issue of cars wasn't discussed because there were only to be four
units.
MR. MAGOWAN-He's owning the lot. He is renting out the.
MR. TRAVER-The land.
MR.MAG OWAN-The land or the sites to place the,the people moving in will bring in their manufactured
home and set it up,but he's going to own the lot and make sure that the septic and the mowing is kept up.
He might not be doing the mowing, or that might be something that's built in. I'm not sure what's built
in to his agreement there. So this is going to be something.
MR.BANTA-Further down the road a little.
MR. MAGOWAN-Yes,further down the road, and Dan has, Mr. Hunt does have other parks if you want
to visit and see how they look.
MR.BANTA-I understand.
MR. TRAVER-You should also be aware, sir,that we will be leaving the public hearing open. So as this
project moves through our system and you continue to get information as well we will with regard to what
specifically ends up until we get to site plan when we specifically talk about the number of trailers and
that level of detail, you will be aware of, you'll be advised and be aware of all of that and have another
opportunity to comment.
MR. BANTA-That's Raymond Butler, 449 Corinth Road, which is exactly adjacent and I think Dan's a
great guy and I want everything to go good for Ray and Dan. I have no objection,other than I'd like to be
friends with Dan. I've only recently met him in the last few years,but Ray I've known for over 50 years so
you know what I mean. He doesn't deserve to pay the kind of taxes he does. He's always paid his taxes.
MR. TRAVER-Unfortunately we can't control people's taxes.
MR. BANTA-But if you change what is a valuable property by allowing multiple trailers to go in there,it
does change the value of the property. You can't tell me any differently because I know. Any of you that
own a home would not want that to happen. Am I right?
19
(Queensbury Planning Board OS/25/2022)
MR.DEEB-I grew up in Glens Falls,and the house that I lived in was 10,15 feet from the house next to me.
So there are proximity issues,but it doesn't mean it creates a negative impact on the whole situation. And
also all the septic is new. Everything is new that he's put in there is new,which is a good thing.
MR.MAGOWAN-And also before there were trailers,they actually looked like you could put them on the
hitch of a car and drive them down the road. They were just a little bigger, you know, but they have
changed, too. Instead of a metal look, they've gone to vinyl siding,you know, nicer windows. So a lot
more appealing to the eyes.
MR.BANTA-But that doesn't mean that a house that was built back in 1950 by a mason.
MR. MAGOWAN-And I can understand that, but you'll have your chance at the site plan. Right now
we're just trying to establish the Lead Agency.
MR. BANTA-But because Ray can't make it in here and said multiple houses,but I just wanted to go on
record that it needs to be addressed and so I came. And I don't want to make anyone upset or angry,but
I want to make them aware.
MR. DEEB-And you'll have a chance to talk later also.
MR.BANTA-Thank you. You all have a good evening.
MR. MAGOWAN-You,too. Thanks for coming.
MR. TRAVER-Is there anyone else in the audience that wanted to address this application for Dan Hunt,
Site Plan 52-2022 and Re-zoning 3-2022. I'm not seeing any. Are there written comments,Laura? So in
any case we'll leave the public hearing open on this and the only action that we're taking tonight if the
Board approves is to seek Lead Agency status with regard to this zoned site plan. Does anyone have any
concerns about seeking Lead Agency on this application?
MR. DIXON-Not specific to this.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. Did you find anything,Laura?
MRS. MOORE-There are no written comments.
MR.TRAVER-Okay. All right. Well we'll leave the public hearing open in any case and we can entertain
that motion for Lead Agency.
MR. MAGOWAN-Mr. Chairman,I just have a question,because I get lost in these resolutions. Does this
go back to the Town Board,Laura?
MRS. MOORE-This will ultimately go back to the Town Board,but you need to complete the SEQR. In
September you would complete the SEQR Lead Agency acceptance or acknowledgement, and then you
can complete SEQR itself and then you can provide a recommendation to the Town Board. The Town
Board would then schedule their public hearing, potentially change the zone or whatever they deem
necessary in reference to a public hearing,then it would come back to this Board complete that Site Plan
Review process. It's along process.
MR. MAGOWAN-So tonight it's just a?
MRS. MOORE-Literally it's seek Lead Agency.
MR. MAGOWAN-And no recommendation to the Town Board yet.
MRS. MOORE-There's no recommendation.
MR. MAGOWAN-Okay. Wow.
MR. TRAVER-All right. So are we ready to entertain that? Go ahead,please.

MR. TRAVER-All right. So we have initiated the first step which is seeking Lead Agency. If none of the
other involved agencies object and we become Lead Agency, the next step would be the State
Environmental Quality Review Act which is a SEQR resolution for environmental impacts, and then a
recommendation on the overlay zone to the Town Board which they would then act upon, and once they
act upon that,hypothetically it would come back to us for the very specific Site Plan where we talk about
the number of trailers and the details of the actual site. So with that for tonight we are all set.
MR.HUNT-All right. Thank you guys very much. I appreciate it.

shoot an e-mail to Laura,she'll make sure that we're registered. It's a daylong event and you'll get a whole

MR. DEEB-Four hours.
MRS. MOORE-Four hours is the requirement,. It definitely covers it.
