MOORE-So this application is for renovations to an existing 1,155 square foot home with a 625 square foot porch and deck area. The project includes construction of anew 1S5 square foot footprint first floor with basement addition and new upper level open deck,and the applicant was in front of the Zoning Board of Appeals and received those variances. 12 (Queensbury Planning Board 07/23/2024) MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you. Good evening. Welcome back. MR. DOBIE-Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and good evening, Board. For the record, Lucas Dobie from Hutchins Engineering, representing our clients, Ron and Jill Barton at 74 Bay Parkway, the northeast corner of Assembly Point. We did discuss this pretty good at length last week,just the cliff notes version. Again,this is a tear off the 10 by 14 dining room/sunroom at the first floor level,in the middle of the building and to tear off the S by 12 second floor deck and terrace and then to construct a 7 foot by 26 foot 3 lakeside addition for the basement area, first floor area and then a second floor terrace. Pretty straightforward project, quite a bit of effort to get here. We appreciate the Board's time and the Staffs help, and then for stormwater mitigation a series of four raingardens are proposed for areas where the existing stormwater flows to now. It was a very appropriate design, and then we also propose an area of shoreline buffering south of the boathouse and there are decent areas north of the boathouse and along the southerly property line of existing plantings, and regarding septic,it did pass the Lake George Park Commission inspection in July of 2023, and I wrote an evaluation letter for the Boards and for the Building Department that it meets current standards. So I'm here to ask for your approval tonight and the Zoning Board was unanimous in having no comments and we've had no changes since then. Thank you very much. MR. TRAVER-Very good. Questions,comments from members of the Board? MR. STEFANZIK-Were there any engineering comments? MR. DOBIE-There's two very minor comments,and we're not even doing any further response,just asking about sediment controls,which we do have silt fence along the shoreline,and then one of them described that stormwater that's not even to the threshold of a minor stormwater project. So basically an engineering signoff from the get go. MR.TRAVER-Okay. There is a public hearing on this application. Is there anyone that wants to address the Planning Board on Site Plan 35-2024? I'm not seeing anyone in the audience. Laura? PUBLIC HEARING OPENED MRS. MOORE-I do have a written comment. It says it's for the Bartons'variance application at the July 23rd Planning Board meeting. So I'll read it. It says,Dear Board members: I am writing in support of the variance application appeal filed by Ron and Jill Barton regarding the renovation to their property located at 74 Bay Parkway, Lake George, NY. My wife and I own the property immediately south of theirs at 70 Bay Parkway. Ron Barton first approached me on this matter several years ago and he was proposing to do and he detailed his plans and I was and am very appreciative of his courtesy and the care with which he approached the project. I know for a fact that he values the environment and particularly the lake itself and I am confident that the project will be done with those values in mind. Due to health related matters we cannot attend your July 23rd perspective hearings. Nevertheless please enter into the record our support for the petitioner's application,and this is Peter and Patricia Pashler. MR. TRAVER-Any other written comments? Okay. Thank you. Then we will close the public hearing. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED MR. TRAVER-Any follow up questions,comments from members of the Board? All right. I guess we're ready for that resolution.

The project work includes a 225 square foot addition on one side of the building and alterations to the building's other end,installing a new tank area on the east side and new truss work along the entire facility. There are no other changes to this site,and this is part of the DEC decree. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you,Laura. Good evening. Tell us about your project. MR. SUOZZO-I'm Brian Suozzo with Cedarwood Engineering, the consulting engineers for Montcalm Apartments, and what we're doing is we're upgrading the existing wastewater treatment plant. We're upgrading the processes,basically it's called a secondary process now,upgrading is a tertiary process. So we're retrofitting all the equipment inside the building with more advanced treatment methods than what 15 (Queensbury Planning Board 07/23/2024) they have now. The disposal is going to be the same. The dispersal back,infiltration, all that stays the same. It's going to be a cleaner degree of treatment. We're using the existing tanks inside the building that you see here. We did propose improvements. It's all new roof. We are going to have the,part of the tanks,the aeration tanks open,the biological tanks open. Do an addition to the end of the building there, some space for a lab area,bathroom, stuff like that, and we are putting a small tank with MDR's behind the building. MR. TRAVER-Okay,and why is this upgrade taking place? MR. SUOZZO-The existing plant, Montcalm is under a consent order. The existing plant was built in the mid,early 70's. The typical design life is 30 years. It's past that. They're just having equipment failures. It is a secondary process,and what that means is there's a clarifier. There's a clarifier where you have your paperwork processed. There's a clarifier to settle out your biology. Your clean water goes out. It's not reliable. So what happens is the solids and stuff can pop out. Then it goes to the pits and it can cause odor and stuff like that. So this is a new process. When I say MDR tertiary process,it's a physical barrier. So the only thing that can go out now is clean water. It treats it to a higher degree. So BOD, all these numbers, BOD, TSS, ammonia, phosphorus, it has a higher degree of treatment. It'll future proof the facility. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Well that's a good thing. Yes. Okay. Well thank you for that explanation. Questions,comments from members of the Board? There is a public hearing on this application. Is there anyone that wants to address the Planning Board on Site Plan 45-2024? No? Written comments,Laura? PUBLIC HEARING OPENED MRS. MOORE-No written comments. MR. TRAVER-This is an Unlisted Action under SEQR. So we do have a SEQR review. It would appear that this is going to bean improvement to the environment. I don't know,does anyone have any questions,. concerns regarding a SEQR impact? Okay. Well,I'm not sure if I actually closed the public hearing. MS. DWYRE-Not yet. MR. TRAVER-All right. So let me close that. Thank you,Karen. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED MR. TRAVER-So let's first do the SEQR review.

TRAVER-Laura? MRS. MOORE-So this applicant proposes to remove a wooded area of approximately.95 acres to develop soccer fields. The existing Church and existing soccer fields will remain unchanged. The area to be cleared is approximately 220 feet from the rear of the building. The soccer fields are to be seeded and will be consistent with the existing recreational area, and it's not a professional soccer held. It's just clearing it and grubbing it so that kids can play some soccer. MR. TRAVER-Okay. All right. Thank you,Laura. Good evening. PASTOR LANGFORD-Good evening. MR. TRAVER-If you would state your name for the record and tell us about your project. PASTOR LANGFORD-Yes, sir. I'm Robbie Langford. I'm the Pastor of New Hope. We already have a soccer ministry and we're thinking about what we want to do with the kids. So we're just making an additional space of just under an acre,an expansion of the current held. MR. TRAVER-I see. Okay. So you're going to clear the trees and so on and make it basically like a lawn type area? PASTOR LANGFORD-Yes,sir. MR. TRAVER-Okay. What about lighting? Are you going to have lights for use at night or anything like that? PASTOR LANGFORD-No,sir. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Questions,comments from members of the Board? MR. STEFANZIK-The held is just for the congregation? PASTOR LANGFORD-It is. We do multiple types of events, church family, community outreaches,but the soccer ministry is for sure the reason for the expansion. MR. STEFANZIK-I also did read in the engineering comments about endangered species due to clearing of the property? Can you address that? 18 (Queensbury Planning Board 07/23/2024) PASTOR LANGFORD-Yes, sir. We actually reached out to the DEC. We've been on our property,we purchased it in 2009. So we've never had any indication of anything of that nature. I think I think that was just mentioned as an example,it seemed like,by the engineer,of things to maybe,you know,a project like this to check and to make sure. So we did reach out to the DEC and they're actually going to provide an e-mail just to,they said there's really no reason to be concerned about anything like that. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Well,this is an Unlisted Action under SEQR,and first we'll need to open a public hearing. So we'll do that and ask,is there anyone in the audience who wants to address the Planning Board on Site Plan 41-2024? I'm not seeing anyone. Are there written comments,Laura? PUBLIC HEARING OPENED MRS. MOORE-There are no written comments. MR. TRAVER-All right. Then we'll close the public hearing. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED MR. TRAVER-This is clearing just under one acre and planting with grass. Do any members of the Planning Board have any concerns of environmental impacts with this. MRS. MC DEVITT-No,as long as there's that letter from the DEC. MR.TRAVER-Yes. They supplied an e-mail. Okay. Well,hearing none,then we have a SEQR resolution.
