A public hearing was advertised and held on Wednesday, March 27, 2024.
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, it's not. It's a
replacement of the current sign.
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, it cannot be.
3. Is the requested sign variance substantial? No. It would be replacing the current sign.
4. Will the proposed sign variance have an adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions
in the neighborhood or district? No, it will not.
5. Is the alleged difficulty self-created? It could be considered, but it's needed for the change in
ownership of the property.
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) Adherence to the items outlined in the follow-up letter sent with this resolution.
(ZBA Board Member does not need to read the followingA 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.
