MEMBERS PRESENT STEPHEN TRAVER,CHAIRMAN DAVID DEEB,VICE CHAIRMAN MICHAEL DIXON,SECRETARY WARREN LONGACKER BRADY STARK NATHAN ETU BRAD MAGOWAN LAND USE PLANNER-LAURA MOORE STENOGRAPHER-MARIA GAGLIARDI MR.TRAVER-Good evening,ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the Town of Queensbury Planning Board meeting for Tuesday, October 17`h, 2023. This is our first meeting in October and our 21" meeting thus far for 2023. If you would make note of the illuminated exit signs. In the event of an emergency, those are the exits. If you have a cell phone or other electronic device,if you would either turn it off or turn the ringer off, so as not to interrupt our proceedings, we would appreciate that, and we also ask that if you wish to have a conversation amongst yourselves during the meeting,other than the public hearing„if you would just go to the outer lobby for that conversation. We do record the meeting for minutes purposes and that would be very helpful. We do have some administrative items and to begin I actually have sort of a housekeeping item to bring up. Mr.Dixon has announced that because he's moving from the Planning Board to the Town Board in January, he's going to have to leave the positon of Planning Board secretary and according to our updated 2017 By-laws,I noticed after that conversation the other day,it is up to me to create a nominating committee which at this point consists of Michael by himself and he's already had some communications regarding a recruitment to replace him as secretary going into 2024.But in any case, according to By-laws, I create a secretary nominating committee to identify and recommend a candidate for secretary to the annual meeting in December. So with that out of the way, we will begin with the Administrative Items. The first being approval of minutes. This is for August 15 and August 22, 2023. Are there any corrections or amendments to those minutes by members of the Board? Okay. We have a draft resolution.

Is there anyone here present? Thank you. 2 (Queensbury Planning Board 10/17/2023) MR. DECKER-Mike Decker from Habitat from Humanity. I was here actually last year same time to request the same extension. A lot has happened since we were here last year. We're doing a complete re-design from the ground up. This is a key project for us in this area. We want to bring affordable housing to Queensbury and we've done a lot of work over the last year to purchase the property, based on this approval. We've put some documents out to bid to select a design team, civil and architectural design team, so we can kind of continue the design and we've also engaged a number of investors and lending institutions to come up with a financial solution. So once we get it to a point where it's fully developed then we can finance it and actually build it. So we've made a fair amount of progress. We need some more time,and that's why I'm here tonight to ask for a one year extension. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you for that. Questions,comments from members of the Board? MR. MAGOWAN-The only comment I want to bring up is thank you for being involved and understanding and being in planning here and also the involvement at the County level of planning,but I understand the timetables and right now, I don't know what it is,but it seems like everything is so slow. So hang in there. It's coming. MR. DECKER-We're also anon-profit. So we were really slow. Thank you. MR. MAGOWAN-I do appreciate your patience. MR. DECKER-Thank you. MR.TRAVER-Any other questions,comments from members of the Board? Okay. I think we have a draft resolution to that effect.

SITE PLAN 51-2021 BRETT&z PAMELA WEST(MAIN HOUSE) —REQUEST FOR A ONE YEAR EXTENSION JON ZAPPER, REPRESENTING APPLICANTS,PRESENT MR. TRAVER-Laura? MRS.MOORE-So,I don't know what Jon wants to add,but again,they're looking for,they're constructing a guest house at this time and they look to construct the main house just after the guest house is completed. So I think they're still looking for contractors and architects. MR. ZAPPER-Good evening, everyone. As you know, it took a year to get this project approved. So we certainly don't want to have the approval in jeopardy. As Laura said, they're building the guest house because they're going to move into the guest house and knock down the main house as soon as the guest house is done and it's pretty far along. So that was always the plan to not build them together, but everything's going fine and John Witt's building it and he'll build the next one as well. 3 (Queensbury Planning Board 10/17/2023) MR.

MRS.MOO RE-So it's a similar situation. They're still waiting for a construction time to find a contractor and finalize engineering plans and line up contractors, and Mr.West is also present if you have additional questions or if he wants to share additional information. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you. Anything to add? MR.WEST-No,we just ran into a little problem when we staked out the property. If you remember this is the one where we separated the garage from the house. MR. TRAVER-If you could just state your name for the record. MR. WEST-Tom West for the applicant here. When we staked out the garage location is was too close to a bank,and so we came back to modify the variance that slide it forward a little bit and a little closer to the wetland. We didn't get that done until the end of August. So once we got started looking for contractors,it's,you have to get in line. MR. TRAVER-Right. Understood. All right.

TRAVER-Tell us about your project. MR. HIGLEY-My name is Gary Higley. I'd like to screen in a section of my porch, and I'm on a non- conforming lot. I'm seven and a half feet from my neighbor. I'm 37 feet from the lake. So anything I do I have to come in front of you. So just to screen in a section of the porch. I'm not changing anything. I just want to make it a three season room. MR. TRAVER-A rather small lot, too, .23 acres. Of course a lot of those lots up there are kind of small, aren't they? Okay. So you need a setback variance because of the setback from the lake. MR.HIGLEY-Yes. MR. TRAVER-Questions,comments from members of the Board? 6 (Queensbury Planning Board 10/17/2023) MR. DIXON-1 have a comment for you. So the variance, not so much,but when it comes back for Site Plan,when are you planning on doing construction? MR.HIGLEY-Well it was supposed to be done in September,but I couldn't get in here,so I'm pushed back until Spring. MR. DIXON-The reason that I'm asking that question, and you can correct me. Is that where there's nesting osprey's? MR.HIGLEY-There's an osprey nest. MR. DIXON-So I'm not expert on osprey,but I think as far as construction goes we want to try to avoid the nest. MR. HIGLEY-The osprey's come back April I", and we, they were there all summer. We've had construction going on,and we're far enough from them that there's no issues,and there's a lot of boat traffic and a lot of kayak traffic that comes by and the nest is a very low nest. So they are very,they don't have a problem with people. MR. DIXON-Okay. Thank you. MR. TRAVER-I remember going by there in a kayak a couple of years ago and it was quite late in the season,but I was surprised that they were still there so late. MR. HIGLEY-Usually they try to leave September. They're supposed to leave the month of September. There's still one bird flying around as we speak today. MR. TRAVER-Really? Wow. Interesting. MR. MAGOWAN-I'd like to say, Gary, you've always done nice improvements over there and I know you've always been conscious being so close to the lake. You do have a beautiful property over there. Enjoy it with your family. I know how hard you've worked for that. And you're not changing and encroaching. You're just kind of adding a little bit more. So it's tree season. So I'm hoping maybe you're looking maybe a little warmer weather. MR. HIGLEY-There's no plans to make it a,there's no plans to put like glass in and then take it out next Spring. It's just going to be a screened porch. MR. MAGOWAN-No I'm thinking you're going to go to Florida or something. MR.HIGLEY-No,that's not going to happen. MR. MAGOWAN-All right. MR.HIGLEY-I'm not a Florida person. MR.TRAVER-Anything else from the Board? Does anyone have any specific comments that we wish pass along to the ZBA regarding this variance for setback?

MOORE-So this applicant proposes to remove an existing rollercoaster ride in order to construct a new wooden rollercoaster with a footprint of approximately 22,434 sq. ft. The project will utilize the existing ride operation structure,entrance and exit ramps from the previous coaster. There will be a new queue line walkway area including permeable pavers and the coaster will be adjacent to the go-kart ride, adjacent to the Tradewinds retail area and those items will remain unchanged. The highest point of the ride is 60 feet and is located in Area A of the GEIS. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you. Good evening. MR. DUMAS-Hi,good evening. My name's Charles Dumas. I'm an attorney with the law firm of Lemery Greisler. I'd like to make some other introductions. I have with me tonight Duncan Malrz with The Great Escape. He's manager of maintenance and Joe Harkinas. I think you know Joe. He's been here several times. He's the senior director of facilities. I also have my law partner Bob Woodman. Bob and I have worked on a number of land use matters at the back end together and he's now interested in this process on the front end. So he's here tonight to get a feel for it, to see how the sausage is made, and of course Frank Palumbo with C.T. Male. He does the site work and the civil engineering for the project and he's available to answer questions or receive comments of a technical nature. The application is for Site Plan approval for replacement of the Bobsled, which was constructed as I understand it in 2009. It was an homage to the winter Olympics. It has outlived its usefulness,its useful life. It's actually been removed. It's no longer there, and the application is to replace it with a modern, wooden rollercoaster, slightly shorter. I think the Bobsled was about 66 feet in height at its highest point. The proposed Bobcat is about 60 feet,and it would be located in the zone of the park that's identified for up to 175—185 feet. So it's well within that tolerance. It's modern and operationally a lot smoother than the last facility. So we're looking this evening for the action to determine that there's no environmental consequence that requires the departure from the parameters of the GEIS. Because of the need to specially manufacture material and 8 (Queensbury Planning Board 10/17/2023) begin site work for the project in order for it to be ready in the Spring, we'd like to leave here with an approval of the Site Plan this evening after public hearing and any comments that may come from the public. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Yes,no thresholds were triggered for this other SEQR. So we're okay there I think. It's a matter of Site Plan Review. So just curious. The change of the old rollercoaster for the new one,it's just a periodic change and updates of rides in the park as has previously been done? MR. DUMAS-Yes. It's so important for the life of a business like The Great Escape to maintain freshness and they work copiously at that. The old ride was not reliable. It was, I would say kind of rough in its operation, and the new ride is modern, mechanical, mechanically sound, and is programmed to operate smoother than the old ride, and something new for the consumer public. MR. TRAVER-I was interested to see that it's largely constructed of wood. I would have thought that some of the material might be,not that I'm claiming to be an engineer. Just seemed interesting that wood would be chosen. MR. DUMAS-Do you want to speak to that? Duncan's pretty knowledgeable about the rides. MR. TRAVER-I'm sure he is. DUNCAN MALRZ MR. MALRZ-Duncan Malrz from The Great Escape and,yes, so the actual experience riding on a wood coaster is significantly different, especially for a lot of coaster enthusiasts that use the park. So we currently have the Comet which is one wooden rollercoaster,but is a wood/steel combination. This will be an entire wood rollercoaster with the track and structure being made of wood by the gravity group specially designed for our park. MR. MAGOWAN-Wood rails? No kidding. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Questions,comments from members of the Board? MR. MAGOWAN-Living right behind the Comet,I listen to it all summer long,the click,click,click,the screams going down, and it's a happy noise to me. I knew it was there when I bought the house. Really I've always stood behind it. I actually might want to put on the record that I did,back in 1979, work at Storytown for the record, and I read that it was wooden with the wooden rails and that,but it's probably going to be quieter,huh? Not that I ever,on the outside corner the wheels will squeak. For some reason it goes over the neighborhood in Highpoint and I call you guys up and if it's not that afternoon, the next day,you know,you don't hear anything. Otherwise people always say,doesn't it bother you? I say no it's a happy noise. Like I said it's all part, and I knew it was there. So I think this is great, and knowing the Bobsled, even though it came in after me,you're right,it only goes around so many times,but things start to breakdown, but we all do. So I was just amazed that it's going to be wood. Now there's a lot of grumbling and boulders going on. What's going on back there now? I haven't gone over the hill with my binoculars yet. MR. DUMAS-That noise you're probably hearing is the Bobsled being removed. MR. MAGOWAN-That's probably what it is. So really I think it's within all the thresholds and all that,I think this is a great opportunity to freshen things up. MR.MALRZ Just to clarify. So the whole ride is a wood coaster. There is steel on top of the top wooden rail for the coaster itself. MR. MAGOWAN-All right. So it is going to be a little noisy. That's all right. It can't be any louder than the Comet, and like I say, you're right. There's a difference between the steel and the wooden coaster, especially in the effects. I don't want to call it the whipping,but the movements,you know, where the other ones are more gradual. You kind of feel it a little more. I think it's an awesome venture. I'd just hate to be the one that has to paint it every year. MR.TRAVER-There were a couple of comments in the engineering report which we actually just received today and one of them was test pits. I presume that that's something you can easily address with the Town Engineer. MR. PALUMBO-Yes, we can. We also received those comments about 2:30 this afternoon before we drafted our responses to that. One of the big things I wanted to point out for the Board that I think that the newer reviewer for LaBella I don't know that he has reviewed a project in the park and I know by the faces that many of you have and you may have heard this before. The park when it has the GEIS finalized and the Findings Statement set up a special district basically in terms of the stormwater management,and 9 (Queensbury Planning Board 10/17/2023) that was to,you know, work from the original origin of where the water eventually leaves the site so that we would have no greater cfs there, and the way that we have managed that through all the other projects that we've done with you is to make sure that we have some equation between what was impervious and what was permeable. In this case we went slightly over,but we also,in our documents that I don't know if it was understood by the particular engineer, we also put in there that in last year's project for the entrance we had in excess of 10,000 square feet that was a greater net for us in terms of reducing the amount of impervious area. So those two things combined,we are still well less than the overall impervious area. What we did with where those test pits were required, we weren't really required to put those small pretreatment areas, the small infiltration basins, but what was already out there at the site was a set of catch basins and piping that directed it down to other parts of the park, and so in,I think good practice, we decided to put in the infiltration basins at those same connection points. Geo-tech study was just done which found what we expected,that there was more sand there. So we are very confident in any test pits that would have to be done. We'd probably like to take the chance at identifying to the engineer the different process and also the results that we have with the sand that we have found there, and if he still feels that we need to do those infiltration tests,that's something that can be done. MR. TRAVER-As I said earlier, I think your written response should satisfy the engineering comments, but that is something you'll need to work out. It's going to be part of the requirement for approval. MR.PALUMBO-Right,and we will act quickly on that to,as you've heard,you know our unique schedule. MR. TRAVER-I do. MR.PALUMBO-And the one thing that you have heard is how difficult it is to get contractors. Well they already have the contractors. So they're ready to go, at least The Gravity Group is the firm that designs and builds the structures so they're all set and ready to go because we're that unique that it was already set up. MR. TRAVER-Okay. MR. PALUMBO-So we shouldn't have the same problem that others have. MR. TRAVER-Very good. There is a public hearing on this application as well. Is there anyone in the audience that wants to address the Planning Board on this application, Site Plan 65-2023 for The Great Escape Theme Park? I'm not seeing any takers. Are there any written comments,Laura? PUBLIC HEARING OPENED MRS.MOORE-There are no written comments. Okay. Well in that case we will close the public hearing. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED MR. TRAVER-Anything additional from members of the Board? MR. DIXON-I do have a question. So I'm trying to get my head around this. So I'm familiar with the Bobsled that's coming out. As I recall it seemed like there was a lot of concrete there,but you're saying the impervious amount of area is going to be reduced. MR. PALUMBO-What you may be thinking of the concrete is that there is the go karts or whatever. So intertwined in that area is some of the pavement for the other ride. That has not changed. There were some connecting driveways to that,but the biggest difference where we're adding something is that the majority of the Bobsled ride was on pier foundations. This has a slab foundation around so that the wood is anchored on the slab foundations. So that's where we have the increase,but I think in mind's eye,when you looked at it, you did see a lot of impervious surface area in and about it, but the main difference is where the super structure for the Bobsled and the foundation structure for this new ride,that's where the difference is. MR. DIXON-All right. Yes, I know the engineering comments they weren't as big of a concern to me primarily because there's something existing in that space already. MR. TRAVER-Anything else from the Board? MR. DUMAS-I just wanted to ask Mr. Dixon and congratulate him if that's a move that's happening,but do you have to sit through so many Great Escape projects in order to move on to the Town Board? MR. DIXON-Minimum requirement. MR.TRAVER-All right. Well if there's nothing further. Let's see,we've dealt with public hearing. We've dealt with SEQR. 10 (Queensbury Planning Board 10/17/2023) MRS. MOORE-Mr. Chairman,I'd just offer that I would include in the resolution,because we don't have a specific SEQR resolution, but I would acknowledge that it doesn't trigger any review, it didn't trigger any thresholds so there's no SEQR,there's no additional environmental review. MR. TRAVER-Okay. MRS. MOORE-At least it's in the resolution. MR. TRAVER-Okay. We will do that. Thank you for that suggestion. MR. MAGOWAN Just a quick question. You're going with the slab. Does that,because there's so many legs or structural legs that come down,I mean to do that many pier footings,it would just be ridiculous. MR. PALUMBO-And we did make use of that in one sense is that part of the access to the ride will be to walk under and through as you approach to get to the principle corral area. So it adds a little to the excitement of waiting for the ride. MR. TRAVER-Yes. All set? MR. DIXON-I think so. So do we want to keep it just that the engineering comments are to be addressed with responses to be submitted? MR. TRAVER-I think there's already a signoff requirement in there. MR. DEEB-It has to be signed off. MR. DIXON-I'll just leave that out altogether. MR. TRAVER-Yes. MR. DIXON-Okay. I'm ready.

JEREMY EANES, REPRESENTING APPLICANT,PRESENT MR. TRAVER-Laura? MRS. MOORE-So this applicant proposes to construct an 5,202 square foot single story addition to the northeast side of the existing 153,943 square foot Walmart building. The project is to enhance their order 12 (Queensbury Planning Board 10/17/2023) pick up process and includes removal of the existing canopy and relocating to the new addition area, relocating the pickup area. The project includes site work for removal of hard surfacing and installation of vegetation. Additional facade changes for signage and adding blue and brown features to the building are also proposed. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you. Good evening. MR. ERNES-Good evening. I'm Jeremy Eanes with Dewberry Engineers. We're the civil engineer for the project. We're also working along with Massa and Multimedia Architects for this project. This project is to enhance the capabilities of the online grocery pickup that the store has. Currently there's only 12 parking spaces for that. We're going to be moving that parking to the other side of the building. That will be 45 spaces. So it'll be a lot more capable of handling more consumers, and the addition, the building addition, is to create more storage for the online grocery pickup groceries inside the store so they have more staging for the additional parking. I do want to make one correction to this project description. It said that the canopy,the existing canopy would be moved to the other side,that is not the case. It's getting demolished. It will no longer be on the site. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Yes,the demand for the ordering and pickup has increased quite a bit. Has it not? MR. ERNES-Yes. MR.TRAVER-I notice,I'm not at Walmart all that often,but when I have been it seems like there's almost as many staff going around filling the online orders as there are people shopping. It's amazing. MR. ERNES-Yes,they all like the convenience of just pulling up and getting their groceries and leaving. MR. TRAVER-In a pinch I have volunterered for ARC,with some of their houses,the residential program, bring them groceries, and have packed my Jeep right to the gills. I couldn't believe how much stuff there was. Anyway,okay,so it's basically moving from one side of the building to the other and being expanded upon. Questions,comments from members of the Board? MR. LONGACKER-I've just got a question. It looks like an aerial photo on the cover of the sheet,there's like maybe 10 tractor trailers that are like right underneath where the building expansion is going to be. Is that typically used for some sort of storage that could be re-located somewhere else? MR. ERNES-Typically that's seasonal storage for Christmas and that sort of thing. That will be moved. I'm not sure where it will be, we're not sure exactly how much containers will be out there. It varies per year. We're just the civil engineer. This will have to come from Walmart. So if you want me to ask,I can find out the answer to that question. MR. LONGACKER-I was just curious. I've been there many times and it's not a sea of parking. So I'm sure you have spots to move them. You've got more than you probably need. So I'm just curious, if you can put them somewhere else on the site. MR. EANES-If there are containers. Like I said, it's not confirmed there will be, they would have to be somewhere else on site. MR. DEEB-There's ample room on the site for parking. MR. ERNES-Yes. MR. TRAVER-There is a public hearing on this application as well. Is there anyone in the audience that wants to address the Planning Board with Site Plan 66-2023 for Walmart? I'm not seeing any takers. Laura, are there any written comments? PUBLIC HEARING OPENED MRS. MOORE-There are no written comments,but I just want to make sure the Board also discusses the facade changes. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Yes, we did receive, in the materials, the impact of changes in the facade of the building. Do you want to address that,just talk about the facade changes? MR. EANES-Yes. The facade changes,they want to add some blue backgrounds to the sides and the front of the building and brown. I don't have the updated plans in front of me, so I don't have the exact square footage,but I know it puts it into non-conformance for the signage variance. So the reason for the blue, it's just a prototypical signage that Walmart's moving towards with all their stores. I did get an e-mail from an architect this morning saying that if the Planning Board looks to reject the design, Walmart has 13 (Queensbury Planning Board 10/17/2023) provided direction that they are willing to omit the blue backgrounds at the main vestibule entries and reduce the signage as a second option. MR. TRAVER-Okay. MR. DEEB-I don't have any problem with the color. I think it's a decent color. MRS.MOORS Just so the Board understands,those blue signage triggers this applicant to come back,not to this Board but to the Zoning Board, to get a Sign Variance application. So that's the next thing that will happen. MR. TRAVER-Okay. They're not asking for comments from us? MRS. MOORE-So we haven't done a reversal on that. That's why I want to make sure that if you have comments now that we address that now. MR. TRAVER-Okay. So does anyone have any concerns regarding the change in signage that we want to communicate? MR. DEEB-That has to be approved by the Zoning Board. MRS. MOORE-Correct,but if you say. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Let's see. I'm sorry,Laura,did you say there were no written comments? MRS. MOORE-No written comments. MR. TRAVER-Okay. I'm not sure if I closed the public hearing,but so Maria doesn't ask me,I will make sure I close the public hearing. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED MR. TRAVER-Do you gentlemen have something to add? MR. MAGOWAN-Next time not so big,all right. I didn't have enough room on my table at home to open this one. MR. ERNES-I would have been glad to make small drawings. It took me six hours. MR.TRAVER-I've been looking at them largely on my I-pad. It just zoom it in. It seems it be okay. There are times when it's best to spread it out on the floor,no question about it. MR. MAGOWAN-Yes,not a legal or letter,but even half the size is nice. I'm fine. I saw what I had to see and now I can pick up what you're putting down. MR. TRAVER-All right. Anything further from the Board? MR. DIXON-Mr. Chairman,just so we can get it on here,I don't see any issues with their SEQR request. There was nothing that jumped out at me. I find it acceptable. MR. TRAVER-This is an Unlisted SEQR. So we need to do SEQR. I didn't see anything that would add to environmental or create any environmental impact. Any other Board members feel that this requires additional review under SEQR? Okay. I guess we can do that one first. RESOLUTION GRANTING A NEGATIVE SEQR DEC. SP#66-2023 JEREMY EANES/WALMART The applicant proposes to construct an 5,202 sq. ft. single story addition to the northeast side of the existing 153,943 sq.ft.Walmart building.The proj ect is to enhance their order pickup process and includes removal of the existing canopy.

TRAVER-And next we can move on to the actual Site Plan. MR.DIXON-All right,and for this one,since we have an impression here,where it states includes removal of existing canopy and relocating to new addition area, would we like an Item L in there just for clarification of that? MRS. MOORE-Two things. You can amend the description, because it's a draft resolution,just amend the description at the top,and if you wish to add it as part of your resolution you can,but I think amending the top part will be sufficient. I didn't catch that when I wrote up the description. MR. DIXON-All right. Okay.

One is Sexual Harassment training. The other is Workplace Violence training. These are required annual trainings. It seems like I just took the things not long ago but here they are again. So if you could please make an effort to try to get those completed. Maria is coordinating the documentation of completion of those. So actually if you could get them done by next week that would be terrific because that would get everybody on the Board up to speed on that. MRS. MOORE-I'll just offer that if you're not able to access your e-mail you need to contact StoredTech directly and their number is 793-1111,and they'll walk you through how to get back into your e-mail if you haven't done that yet. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Good. Thanks,Laura. Anything else before the Board this evening? All right. I'll entertain a motion to adjourn. MR.
