PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE LED BY SUPERVISOR JOHN STROUGH 1.0 Queensbury Board of Health RESOLUTION ENTERING QUEENSBURY BOARD OF HEALTH RESOLUTION NO.: 147, 2024 INTRODUCED BY: Mr. Michael Dixon WHO MOVED FOR ITS ADOPTION SECONDED BY: Mr. Harrison Freer RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury hereby adjourns from Regular Session and enters into the Queensbury Board of Health. Duly adopted this 151h day of April, 2024, by the following vote: AYES: Mr. Strough, Mr. Metivier, Mr. Freer, Mr. Dixon NOES: None ABSENT: Mr. McNulty 1.1 PUBLIC HEARING—SEWER DISPOSAL VARIANCE APPLICATION John Swan, Jr. and Carolyn Swan Publication Date: April 6, 2024 SUPERVISOR STROUGH reviewed proposed application and the 12 variances being requested. Noted that Town Board Members did a site visit today and the lot is small and house large. Recognized the agent for the applicants. Regular Town Board Meeting, 04-15-2024, MTG 913 31 LUCAS DOBIE-Thank you Mr. Supervisor. Good evening Board, for the record, Lucas Dobie with Hutchins Engineering representing our clients John and Carolyn Swan at 111 Rockhurst Road which is the third property from the point. So south of the point, on the westerly side of Rockhurst on Sandy Bay. I did meet with the Supervisor and Mr. Freer today, we walked the site. I believe we have a real nice project especially the contexts of the Lake George Septic initiative. The Swans are being proactive here, they're not in failure but it's an old tired system which is a septic tank and a pump station on the lakeside and we've proposed to do the best system that we can. We believe that we have done three of them on the point over the years with the Board with several septic variance approvals so it's along the lines of that with the Fuji Clean ETU on the lakeside. It's on the lakeside because the plumbing is under the slab of the walkout basement so you would have to have some sort of ejector pump or whichever to get it to the roadside. So we decided to keep it simple, put our Fuji Clean on the lakeside of the house with the effluent pump station and then a new stone absorption bed with the heavy duty infiltrator chambers tight piped to the road east of the house. So it's sized 100 percent standard sizing for the soils, the native soils which we had a design rate of up to a 20 minute perk rate. So we are very conservative with our design in our opinion, very comfortable with the design. It's a 13 foot wide by 62 foot long absorption bed which is going to consume most of the easterly portion of the parcel. We did design it to be parked on, that's their parking. It's a slew of variances, thank you for reading them. We tried to be very conservative to itemize every pipe and whatnot if you will. I believe the most substantial variance is the absorption field to the lake which is 90 feet. We maximized that and with the ETU we're very comfortable with the design. We're here to ask for your approvals tonight. I'd be happy to answer any questions the Board or the public may have. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-There is a public hearing but before I open it to the public, is there any questions or thoughts from Town Board members, first? COUNCILMAN FREER-So I understand this is a four bedroom house on that little lot as we discussed this afternoon. I believe all three of the recent septics at the end of the point have gone through the CEN system which is sort of an enhanced, enhanced and you're 90 feet, I think some of those were closer than 90 feet, the absorption field. Have you discussed or have any views on CE versus CEN systems with the Fuji? MR. DOBIE-Yes, we've done it both ways Mr. Freer to your point. CEN is the Nitrogen Enhanced Fuji Clean Unit and I believe our clients would be amendable to installing that if the Board is more comfortable with that approach. COUNCILMAN FREER-I am but. MR. DOBIE-It's a little more money, 1200 dollars plus or minus more but on the scheme of things I think my clients would do it if that's what the Board would like. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Alright, so Harrison and I agree with you, I think it's a good idea. You're suggesting that they are already planning a Fuji Clean ETU but that Fuji Clean ETU should be a COUNCILMAN FREER-Yes it's the one, I believe it's in the base line, it's called a CE-5 and they're sized to, for the bedrooms. There's four bedrooms, right? Didn't you say that? MR. DOBIE-Correct. COUNCILMAN FREER-So the five is like 500 gallons a day, sort of standard but there's a nitrogen enhancement that is called a CEN that I would recommend that we stipulate. And my hope and my sense is that eventually they'll do better with phosphorous as well but they're not here yet. There's no legitimate residential scale phosphorous practical solution. But at least we're dealing with nitrogen which is part of the problem with the Lake. Regular Town Board Meeting, 04-15-2024, MTG 913 32 SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Yes, so I'm trying to find out if the CEN model is in fact what you're looking for? COUNCILMAN FREER-I think Lucas, you're familiar with what I'm talking about, right? SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Alright, CEN-5? COUNCILMAN FREER-Yes. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-And it says NSF-40 over 245 Enhanced Nitrogen Removal Wastewater Treatment. COUNCILMAN FREER-Correct. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Okay and you don't have any problems with putting in a CEN-5 Enhanced Nitrogen Treatment System in? MR. DOBIE-No if that's what the Board desires and we're perfectly fine with that and we just put one in on Assembly Point. It's a little bit of a bigger tank, I think it shares the same size tank as the next size unit 7; it has a little extra for that denitrification. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Would you need MR. DOBIE-So it's a little bit of a longer tank but we have room to do it. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-So we would keep variance number five, Fuji Clean 32 feet from the shoreline? We can keep that? MR. DOBIE-Correct. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Okay. TOWN COUNSEL SCHACHNER-Yes, I mean, I'll have a suggestion if you get there. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Yes, do you want to do it now or? TOWN COUNSEL SCHACHNER-That's up to you. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Yes, I'd like you to. TOWN COUNSEL SCHACHNER-So if that's the direction you head, then that's obviously not what was applied for and it's not stated in the application materials so rather than changing any of the numerated variances, it sounds like the unit will be in the same location as what was proposed, if I'm understanding that correctly, right? MR. DOBIE-Yes sir, that's correct. TOWN COUNSEL SCHACHNER-So you don't need to change any of the language until you get to the RESOLVEDs. The first Resolved after the numbered variances, the 1 through 12, we're going to suggest that where it says, Resolved that the Enhanced Treatment Unit ETU shall be maintained by the property owner with accordance with, we're going to say, we're going to recommend, Resolved that the Enhanced Treatment Unit shall be a Fuji Clean CEN-5 Enhanced Nitrogen Treatment unit, and shall be maintained. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Sounds good. COUNCLMAN FREER-Good by me. Regular Town Board Meeting, 04-15-2024, MTG 913 33 SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Good with the Board? COUNCILMAN METIVIER-Yes. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Alright. Anything else Lucas? Let me open the public hearing. Is there anybody here tonight who would like to speak to John and Carolyn Swan's septic disposal variance request? The residence that we're speaking to is on 111 Rockhurst Road. Anybody here like to speak to this request? Seeing none, I'll close the public hearing. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED COUNCILMAN METIVIER-I'll introduce as amended. COUNCILMAN FREER-I'll second it. RESOLUTION APPROVING JOHN SWAN, JR.

So,I will, if there is anybody here to speak to this, I'll open the public hearing, I will let you speak. I will close the public hearing but we're going to reset these two public hearings for May 6 h, Monday May 6 h. There is already use for boat storage and everything else. So, the Town Board listened to their request, we thought it was reasonable. We do have public hearing and again, we'll have it tonight as well as May 6 h. We're changing the definition of storage yard a little bit by adding commercial site and adding words like and/or registered cars, recreational vehicles and boats and this definition shall not include sales, service or occupancy. That the storage yard will be against specific standards. The specific standards will be, the storage yard facility shall be on lots equal to or greater than five acres. Storage yard facilities shall provide landscaped screening around the perimeter of all areas that are used for such storage and the screening shall serve to block the view of the storage area from view of the adjoining properties and public rights. Fences may be permitted around the perimeter area used for storage but any fencing shall be placed behind the landscaped screening. And then we took out a phrase that was meant to be taken out and I think that we did change that. Yes, so all that remains now is a part of the standards is that the storage yard owner shall conduct visual assessments of the property every four months and retain documentation of all such inspections on site. Such documentation shall be made available for review by any authorized Town employee upon request. And the fourth standard, is that storage yard facilities are prohibited on lots with road frontage on regional arterial roads as listed in our Town Zoning Law. And then storage yard is being proposed as an allowed use in our Commercial Light Industrial. So that's the zoning change we're proposing. Is there anybody here that would like to speak to this proposal and you'll have another opportunity on May 6''? Nobody is present, I'll Regular Town Board Meeting, 04-15-2024, MTG 913 40 close the public hearing. COUNCILMAN FREER-You're going to want to leave it open. COUNCILMAN METIVIER-You don't want to close it though, do you? SUPERVISOR STROUGH-I usually leave it open but Stu Baker suggested that I close it. TOWN COUNSEL SCHACHNER-Right,there is some imprecision in the note from Planning staff. You don't even have to consider this the opening of the public hearing but since you've already opened it,we would suggest just leave it open and then at the next meeting when we reconvene,we'll reopen it yet again. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-That's what I usually do. TOWN COUNSEL SCHACHNER-It's over compliance and that's fine. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Okay, I will leave the public hearing open. If you have any thoughts on the matter, share it with us here at the Town.

Duly adopted this 151h day of April, 2024, by the following vote: AYES Mr. Strough, Mr. Metivier, Mr. Freer, Mr. Dixon NOES None ABSENT: Mr. McNulty 2.3 Proposed Local Law No.: 2024 to Amend Chapter 179 "Zoning" of Queensbury Town Code to Amend Zoning Map to Change Zoning District Designation for Tax Map No.: 303.5-1-79 and to Amend Table 1: Table of Area Requirements — Resolution Setting Public Hearing for May 6,2024 Publication Date: April 6,2024 SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Again,for whatever reason,the neighbors were not notified of this public hearing tonight so, again we'll leave it up to the process to notify the owners and this is a resolution to make this for May 6 h but should there be anybody here I will open the public hearing tonight. This is the Mead's property that stretches between Ridge Road and Meadowbrook and it used to be a nursery. It's currently zoned Commercial Intensive and the Foothills Builders asked us if we would consider changing it to a residential zone, a higher density residential zone. We were thinking well currently it's Commercial Intensive. The Town Board's concern, at least and some of the others were that a big box could be located there and it is adjacent to a residential area and most likely the face of the big box would be towards Quaker Road. The back would be used for loading and unloading and the beeping of the trucks and we thought that would be very intrusive so we tried to get something that was more transitional. More acceptable to the residential area that it was adjacent to. So we said, alright,well if we take a MDR zone and we put certain perimeters to it,maybe this new type of zoning would fit. So,we're thinking about adding multifamily dwellings to the Moderate Density Residential Zoning. It would have a limit of six dwelling units per developable acre. It must have a minimum gross land area of ten acres. The lot shall be served by both municipal water and sewer and the lot will have two points of ingress and egress.
