The Zoning Board of Appeals of the Town of Queensbury has received an application from Immunotek

north face and one on west face) and a freestanding sign of 47.25 sq. ft. (replacement of the existing sign).
Relief requested for number of signs and size of signs.
Relief Required:
The applicant requests relief for number of signs and size of signs for an existing building. The project
site is located in the Commercial Intensive zone on a 2.234 ac parcel.
Section 140-signs
The applicant proposes two wall signs where only one wall sign is allowed. In addition relief is requested
for the size of sign where each wall sign is to be 109.75 sq ft where only one wall sign of 30 sq ft is

SEQR Type: Unlisted [Resolution / Action Required for SEQR]
Motion regarding Sign Variance No. 5-2022. Applicant Name: Immunotek Bio Centers based upon
the information and the analysis of the above supporting documentation provided by the applicant,
this Board finds that this will not result in any significant adverse environmental impact. So we
give it a Negative Declaration, Introduced by John Henkel who moved for its adoption, seconded by
Brent McDevitt:
Duly adopted this 28th Day of September 2022, by the following vote:
AYES: Mr. Henkel, Mr. McDevitt, Mr. Kuhl, Mr. Underwood, Mr. McCabe
NOES: NONE
ABSENT: Mr. Cipperly, Mr. Urrico
A public hearing was advertised and held on Wednesday, September 28, 2022.
Upon review of the application materials, information supplied during the public hearing, and upon
consideration of the criteria specified in Section 179-14-080(A) of the Queensbury Town Code and
Chapter 267 of NYS Town Law and after discussion and deliberation, we find as follows:
1. Will an undesirable change be produced in the character of the neighborhood or will a detriment to the
nearby properties be created by the granting of the requested sign variance? No, not really as the
property is on a main road, Quaker Road, and the size of the property is 2.3 acres.
2. Can the benefit sought by the applicant be achieved by some method, feasible for the applicant to
pursue, other than a sign variance? No, they can't. They want to put signs on the front, and it would
be the west side.
Is the requested sign variance substantial? We could suggest it is, but the size of the building supports
these signs.
4. Will the proposed sign variance have an adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions
in the neighborhood or district? No, not really it blends in on that commercial corridor.
5. Is the alleged difficulty self-created? Yes, we could say it is self-created because of the signs they
want.
6. In addition, the Board finds that the benefit to the applicant from granting the requested variance
would outweigh (approval) the resulting detriment to the health, safety and welfare of the
neighborhood or community;
7. The Board also finds that the variance request under consideration is the minimum necessary;
8. The Board also proposes the following conditions:
a) That both of the wall signs are no greater than 100 square feet.
Adherence to the items outlined in the follow-up letter sent with this resolution.
(ZBA Board Member does not need to read the following A through E):
A. The variance approval is valid for one (1) year from the date of approval; you may request an
extension of approval before the one (1) year time frame expires;
B. If the property is located within the Adirondack Park, the approved variance is subject to review by
the Adirondack Park Agency (APA). The applicant is cautioned against taking any action until the
APA's review is completed;
C. Final approved plans in compliance with an approved variance must be submitted to the Community
Development Department before any further review by the Zoning Administrator or Building & codes
personnel'
D. Subsequent issuance of further permits, including sign permits are dependent on receipt of these final
plans;
E. Upon approval of the application; review and approval of final plans by the Community Development
Department the applicant can apply for a sign permit unless the proposed project requires review,
approval, or permit from the Town Planning Board and/or the Adirondack Park Agency, Lake George
Park Commission or other State agency or department.

Bio Centers, Introduced by Ronald Kuhl, who moved for its adoption, seconded by Michael McCabe:
