TRAVER-Laura? MRS. MOORE-So this applicant is demolishing an existing home, shed,pool and accessory structures at 60 Walker Lane and to construct two 20 unit apartment buildings with associated site work. The project includes merging of three parcels ad connection to the municipal sewer and water supply. The properties to be combined will be associated with the adjacent apartment complex. The applicant addressed much of the comments that staff had previously had in regards to building height,floor plans,landscaping,snow removal and foot candle average for the site. The applicant supplied today information from SHPO as a signoff as well as the final report for the archeological study. So again there was no effect on that. MR. TRAVER-Good. Thank you. Good evening. Welcome back MR. ZAPPER-Hi. For the record,Jon Lapper with Tom Hutchins. As Laura said we made submission since we were here last to address the issues that you asked us. Most importantly we're showing the 390 foot vinyl fence on residential property to the north. That's within the already wooded buffer area that exists. So that should be a pretty effective buffer. It's residential to residential,but of course multi-family to single family and then the Board member had requested more landscaping on the front. So Tom will show you specifically,but there's more trees along the roadway and more plantings along the edge of the 2 (Queensbury Planning Board 07/25/2023) parking lot. We were glad to get the SHPO signoff before the meeting, and we're down with LaBella. They came back with three issues,one of which was SHPO. One was a deep hole test that was done during construction and the last one was that they just wanted a sub-catchment map which we'll provide. MR. TRAVER-And you got the sewer extension. MR. ZAPPER-And we're all set with the Town. MR. TRAVER-Very good. Okay. I know we were concerned with floor plans which you've given us, thank you for that,and some other housekeeping items that you've also addressed. So thank you for that. We did look at this fairly extensively previously, but I'll open it up for questions from members of the Board. MR. MAGOWAN-I will thank you for looking into the landscaping. I have to say, driving around and knowing these projects for so long and how beautiful they look in the front, especially along Hiland and that where they've grown into full trees and how their maintenance really is just kept up. So thank you. MR. TRAVER-The recommendations for an all way stop for the traffic control, that's going to be taken care of I assume? All way stop at intersection of Baybridge and Walker Lane? MR.HUTCHINS-Yes. MR. TRAVER-That's a result of a traffic study you had. MR.HUTCHINS-Yes. MR. TRAVER-Okay, and you're doing 90 parking spaces as opposed to the 60 that are required. MR.ZAPPER-So Rich always does that in all of his projects in Queensbury because he doesn't want people parking on the lawn,just to have enough for guests,children visiting,etc. So he's found over time that it's just best to do that. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Any other questions from the Board,comments? All right. We can move forward, I guess, and do the resolution. I'm sorry, excuse me. My apologies. There is a public hearing on this application tonight, as with the others. Is there anyone in the audience that wanted to address the Planning Board on this application, Site Plan 24-2023? Written comments,Laura? PUBLIC HEARING OPENED MRS. MOORE-There are no written comments. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you. Then we will open and close the public hearing. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED MR. TRAVER-And again my apologies. We can proceed now.

JON ZAPPER, REPRESENTING APPLICANT,PRESENT MR. TRAVER-Laura? MRS. MOORE-So this applicant proposes a facade upgrade as well as some upgraded building signage. The Zoning Board granted all the signs except for one, which is a 15 square foot wall sign that read Queensbury Dunkin with a logo attached to it. So the Zoning Board did not grant that but they granted all the rest of the signage requests. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you. Again, welcome back. We did have quite a bit of discussion about signs. MR.ZAPPER-Yes. Thank you. For the record,Jon Lapper. So after the discussion we went to the Zoning Board, as Laura said the next night,and in the discussion they didn't want the extra sign for Queensbury. So that went away and we were fine with that. The most important part for the site plan changes to get rid of those ugly vinyl canopies and replace them with cantilevered metal canopies that are just much more attractive and modern looking. So that's at the front door,at the drive thru window and at the drive thru where you're ordering and before you're ordering to show you the height so you don't smash it with your truck. So those are the only site changes except for the sign, and as you had recommended, the Zoning Board was fine with the digital sign for the menu board that nobody can see. It's not the same as a gasoline sign that's out there. So we'll work that out. MR. TRAVER-Right. Okay. Pretty much as we discussed. Questions,comments from members of the Board? There is a public hearing on this application as well. Is there anyone in the audience that wanted to discuss with the Planning Board Northstar Donut Group's application? I'm not seeing any takers. Written comments,Laura? PUBLIC HEARING OPENED MRS. MOORE-There are no written comments. MR. TRAVER-All right. So we will open and close the public hearing. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED MR. TRAVER-No other questions,comments from the Board? All right. I guess we're ready to proceed with a motion.
