PUBLIC HEARING-PROPOSED QUEENSBURY ZONING ORDINANCE NOTICE SHOWN
7:40 P.M.
Supervisor Walter- We have had several public information meetings, the planning board
has had also, this is our third public hearing relative to the zoning ordinance.
In the past situations the Town Board and Planning Board have met after the,�ppubZie
hearingsjwe have reviewed the comments and as we are today, is an incorporatiN of the
comments into the zoning ordinance as it is filed in the Town Clerk's Office. _
Mr. Terry Crannell-Luzern Road-concern over 450 acre area in the Adirondack Park
adjacent to Cormus, Luzerne,TuthiZZ, Clendon Brook and Fuller Road . ..reviewed the
purpose and objective of the proposed Zoning ordinance. . .Section 1.03. . .1 re are
serious development constraints in the subject area, poorly drained soil, sZopes in
excess to 25% shallow soil depth to bed-rock, hardpan, highwater tables, wetlands
and hazardous roads the area has a history of wet basements and failing septic
systems. . .noted th;it A%tition that was presented at the last meeting represents
100% of the residents and 80% of the landowners in the area.. .onZzy two individuals
are in favor of a lot size zoning district less than 8.5 acres, these individuals
do not reside in the area and account for only 78 acres of Land. . .there is a clear
public mandate not to have the minimum Lot size smaller than what there is now. . .
8. 5 acres. . .reviewed court cases in zoning. . .Place vs. hack 1962. . .voiced concern
if area was deveZoped�on the school bus situation in the winter—the environmental
impact statement prepared by thedirondaek_ Park gency identifies the zoning
district of .the subject area as LC10A-in order for the Town Board to Legally adopt
a zoning district different from that identified in the EIS several steps must be
completed. . .
Councilman Eisenhart- How many acres do , you own?
Mr. CranneZZ- Five Acres
Councilman Eisenhart- you want everyone else to have ten?
Mr. CranneZZ- that is correct
Mr. Dennis Brower-Clendon Brook Road-I wish to petition the Town Board to retain the
present zoning at 8.5 Acres�=reasons being 1. highly rural area, concern over private
i wells and septic systems 2. urge you to consider the impact that wouZd come about
if changed to three acre residential. . . . .the present health and welfare of my famiZy
and future residents could be effected. . .
Mr. Richard Udall- Cormus Road owner of 44 acres. . .in favor of retaining the 8.5 acres. . .
Supervisor Walter- the very fact that a parcel is zoned does not mean that somebody is
going to run in and construct on that much property. . .that is the minimum you can deal
with but it doea not mean that a house will go up on each minimum Zot. . .the planning
board has tried very hard in setting up these zones to refleetthe conditions of the
area. . .
Mr. Alfred Holmes-Clendon Brook Road-what do you do when the Adirondack Park goes right
through a parcel. . .
*changes in the zoning map were made before the public hearing, denoting 10 acres
in the Tuthill Area
112
Supervisor Walter- if you wanted to build'something you mould get ourpermit from
the Town but you would he subject to the rules % regulations orAPA, t ,
Councilman Monahan- I believe that Mr. Holmes is referring to the map that shows his
property split in two zones, he would have to use the Land according to how it is
split in zones. . .
Mr. Holmes- what is the minimum Lot size?
4.
Supervisor Walter- SRZAcre
Earl EZZsworth-Ridge Road-eZarification in regard to paving of roads within~subdivisions. . .
I was told it was the intent of the Planning Board that the existing subdivision that
were approved conceptually by the Town that this paving requirement would be grandfatherej
completed by the Town where new subdivisions iaou.ld be required for the developer to
to do this. . . r
Supervisor Walter-that is part of the Subdivision regulations, there wiZZ be a
public hearing on that soon. . .by the Planning Board. . .in answer to your question
I believe it is a State Law that we are Looking at a three year grandfathering
clause for previously approved subdivisions. . . '
Mark Branson-211 Bay Street- I own three parcels in the Town of Queensbury and I also
make my living here. I am a property owner in the Tuthill Road area where I have a
forty acre parcel that is on gently sloping Zand-the Planning Board recommended three
acre zoning in this area and I have yet to hear a rational reason why this is not
suitable zonin . . .f i
nal permission for site development is given b y state and Local
authorities this would prevent development on steep mountainside areas re 9 ardess
of the zoning size. . .reviewed the size of three acres. . . Large site zoning invites
pulp and Zogying operations with very Little controZ. .I do not believe that a click
of property owners should tyranize others and attempt to set standards that themselves
do not qualify. . .
Wayne Harold-CZendon Brook Road-next to the property that Mr. Branson is talking about
it is mostly swamp Zand, is that decent Land to build houses on in three acre Zots7 I
do not believe it. . .
Mr. Don Betters-owner of the former Tuthill farm-reviewed the petition that was presented
to the Town Board, two names do not appear on the Tax Rolls and several signers j
that had small Lots -- were in favor of others having big Lots. . .Mr. CranneZZ with k
much knowledge of ecology built on a very steep Lot that would only meet the three
acre requirement it would not ?Zeet the five or ten-he now the Less feels stongZy
that other people should have to adhere to ten acres. . .Mr. CranneZZ talked about
the problems from having more roads on the mountain, I agree, but the Planning Board
is capable of eontrogVng roads. . .Air. CrannelZ talked about the bad soil conditions on
the mountain, I cannot say that there are not bad soil conditions°aZthough I am not sure
where. . .noted that Mrs. Monahan met with himself and walked the area examined the soil
it didn't look bad to me. . . I called Bill Threw who is in the excavating business
and he said that with three acre tots there would be no problem with soil conditions
that would be solved with ten acre Lots size. . .I contacted the U.S. Dept. of Soil Conser-
vation and talked with their soil scientist he did not indicate a problem on the mountain. . .
I asked if there was any clay on the mountain he said there could be a little bit. . .
I feel that many of the residents of the mountain are very sincere they have a Large
piece of Land themselves they would Like to protect the park Like area, they would Like
no more building on the mountain, I do not feel that that would be fair. ..
CZendon Cone-I own 69 acres on CZendon Brook Road we had to conform to the APA
8.5 acres when the property was split-I think that the Planning Board if there
is any consideration of dropping under the ten acres or under the 8.5 acres what
recourse does a landowner have, I would go along with the ten acres. . .I would like
to go on record that we did buy this land. and if IYr. 'Bettere-wouZd see me after
the meeting I would be glad to make him an offer on his Land rather than to see
the land split, into smaller acreage. .
t
C
Mr. William G. Cook-Luzerne Mt. Rd.-I own ten acres- noted he moved here five years
ago Looked for a suitable place that would match their Life style, found ten acres
in the Adirondack Park in an area that then required 8.5acres as a minimum I purchased
the Land under the cover that the people around me would have the same type of Land .,
that it would never effect the environment and the population would not become too
great and the noise level would remain low. If the zoning were to change aZZ these
things that I held as reasons for moving and Living there are diminished, I ask you
to keep this area at status quo. . .
Tom Barrowman-West Mountain-my wife and I are in full agreement with Mr. CranneZl
we own ten acres. . .
k
Mike Carusone-I have Looked at this plan from a professional standpoint I would Like
to say that the overall job is fantastic. . .noted that three acres is a tot of Land
113
Mr. Carusone-cont. - concern over buiZding in a swamp, the State Health Dept.
does a good job of preventing building permits in swamp Zand. . .we have to
be careful, in our attempt to set Large Lot sizes we often use up land faster °
then if we were to set aside.and take care of those parts of the town in other
ways. . .
i
Nick Barber-Luzerne Mt. Road-owner of 10 acres-it is a great place to Live and
anything Less than ten acre zoneswould make it a lesser place to Live. . .
Mr. CranneZZ-in regard to the soil, I talked with Mr. Maineof the Warren Co. SCS
he told me the soils in the area are glacial till. . .
Supervisor Walter- Before you go on, if the soils are so bad why did you build
up there,}yourse Z f?
i
Mr. Crannell- I am not saying that it is impossible to build up there I am saying
that=there are severe Limitations. . .a Lot of the problems that i had i did not
expect, I found when I got%-into the project. . .Mr. Threw did some excavating at
my home and he told me that the soils on the mountain were bad in terms of drainage
that was not an uncommon problem. . .
Councilman Morrell- Regardless of the Lot size when a person applies for a building
permit are certain soil tests required before the permit is issued?
Mack Dean- Soil tests are required for septic systems. . .
Councilman Morrell- that means that if a person owned a 100 acres and it was solid
rock chances are that he would not be allowed a building permit. . .
so Lot size is not really that important-than it is whether or not that lot is
suitable for building purposes. . .
Mr. Adamson- asked if the items Listed as_item'nod:8, on:the pass out sheet was the
same as Listed on the second sheet. . .numbers were not the same
Mr. Chase- that was a typographical error in numbering. . . No. 8 on the pass� out is
the same as the second sheet. . .
Glen Gregory- Luzerne Rd. - re: Mounta ,,the voters have spoken they want the 8.5
j or 10 acres. ..
Earl EZZsworth-in a subdivision where it will be zoned 30,000 sq. ft. iif the subdivision
contains Lots of less than that, what is the time stipulation before you would need
a variance. . .
Supervisor Walter- I believe it will be three years. . .
Earl Ellsworth- Is this for the developer or for anyeindividuaZ who would own the Lots?
If the developer sells the Lot tbithin three years to an individuaZ,then four of five
years down the road that individual wants to build,,lu;tilF,19 be able to?
Supervisor Walter- yes
Councilman .Monahan- the only time it wouldn't bej if he owned two adjacent Lots, they
would have to put them together forming one Lot. . .
Earl Ellsworth- is there a variance procedure?
Supervisor Walter- you would be free to come before the planning and zoning boards
for a variance. . .
Mr. Carusone-questioned the amount of Land that a duplex has--�to be placed on. . .too much. . .
Supervisor Walter- you are referring td--the fact that a duplex requires double of what
� i is required for a sigdZe cuelling. . .in land. . .
Mr. Carusone- duplexes are usually built on single lots as an economy measure. . .
Councilman Monahan- would you mix single family and duplexes?
Mr. Carusone- yes
Supervisor Walter- asked for further comments, hearing none the public hearing was closed.

Discussion held by Town Board regarding Proposed Zoning Ordinance
1. Discussion on Section 9.070 No nonconforming use arises from prior rental, lease,
sale or use of berths for boats at waterfront facility in residential zones.
Supervisor Walter- I do not want anything in here that we cannot enforce. . .
asked if the Board had w- consensus to remove section 9.070 . . . removed. . .
2. Discussion held in regard to the 10 acres around Tuthill and Cozws Roads
Councilman Monahan- I would like to see it say the ten acres and I think it is the
will of the majority of the people up there. . .Councilman Eisenhart-I think we have
to put it in ten acres if they want to push the matter farther they can go for a
change in zoning. . .Councilman Morrell- if the lot is not suitable'to build on
it makes no difference what size it is. . .Supervisor Walter, with APA we cannot
go under three or over ten in this area. . .Councilman MoZZ '- now I would be willing
to go to five. . .Councilman Monahan, I would not be willing to broadbrush that whole
area, if you feel you have to take out some area that would be one thing but to
broadbrush that whole thing, then you are opening the Town up to roads and everthing
else. . .in the first : pZace, in the Cormus Road areahno one wants the lower acreage
the on1y ..onea:that,`want it is the two people in the Tuthill Road area. . .Councilman _
Olson, I would like to see a compromise between the ten and the three acres. . .
Councilman Monahan, you want to broadbrush the whole thing without considering
the terrain;;, steepness, the water, you have got wet lands and everthing up there. . .
Supervisor WaZter, I think we would be looking to change the area that the Planning
Board had looked at for three acres. . .Councilman Monahan, but that went over to
. Fuller Road and if you ever have to have the Town put in a road, noted it would be
costZy. . .Supervisor Walter-what we are trying to get across is that we are not
restricting so it is absolutely outl�af site to ten acres but the very fact that five
acres, which in my opinion.,isn't really pushing development and secondly we just passed
a sanitary ordinance which is going to really restrict where septic systems are going
to go and be required, all of this is not going to lend itself for that area to start
growing up. . .Councilman Monahan- rather than broadbrush that five acres I would rather
break out some of this that looks like the most suitable for deveZopmentj give it
a whirZ,and see if it is any problem, then if there isn't then we can go ahead.. .
Councilman-Eisenhart, lets change the section along TutiZZ Hill Road originall1 three
acres and change it to five acres and the section along Cormus, originally three
make it ten. . . Supery or W .� asked if Councilman Monahan will go along with this,
Councilman Mona�.han,no� 'beviff a consensus leaving the one area designated by the
Planning Boardgthree acres in the Cormus Road will remain now at ten the other area
will be compromised at five. . .
3.°-_Discussion.held in regard to the suggestion of Mr. Mike Carusone to change the
amount of Land that is requiredfor a duplex. . .Supervisor Walter the recommendation
of the Planning Board was to use double the lot size. . .Councilman Olson suggested
one and a half times. . .Supervisor WaZter-the board has a problem in the SRZ zone
because a lot of it lies along the halfway brook area . .Mr. Roberts noted that
we do have set back requirers from streams and a new sanitary code. . . Supervisor
Walter., ."it is the consensus of the Board to change SR20%and 30 to one and a half
times for a duplex and SR1A will be left ct doub Ze. . .
4. Discussion held on changing SR1 to SR30 da shown on the zoning map described as
the property starting at the APA BZue line easterly boundary of the Town westerly
to Meadow brook Road then westerly along Haviland Road, half the length of the road
