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, we find that there'd be no detriment.
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, he's simply replacing the existing sign.
3. Is the requested sign variance substantial? No, it is not.
4. Will the proposed sign variance have an adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the
neighborhood or district? No, we find it will not. It would be replacing the current sign.
5. Is the alleged difficulty self-created? It could be self-created, but with the change of business it's a necessity.
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:
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.
Based on the above findings I make a MOTION TO APPROVE Sign Variance 3-2024, Saratoga Eagle Beverage, Introduced by
