JOHN SALVADOR North Queensbury-Noted that there was a line item in the budget for paving the parking area for town hall which is in need of repair. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Stated that the Highway Garage is in great need of repair, a priority and there is only so much money. MR. SALVADOR- Referred to the onsite septic variances granted by the Town Board for the Steinhart property on Cleverdale that was done at the last meeting and the letter dated May 28, 2014 that he submitted in reference to such action. Stated the legislature's adoption of the Lake George law of 1953 authorizing the New York State Department of Health to maintain the waters of Lake George to a quality of AA special, suitable as untreated drinking water and stated that shortly after the adoption, a fear existed that the AA special quality could not be maintained because of the ever increasing intensity of high density residential expansions and conversions from seasonal use to year round use without adequate centralized sanitary waste treatment. Noted that section 6.802 of the first town zoning ordinance dating back to 1967 was adopted requiring registration of seasonal use dwellings with intent to address that adequate onsite treatment of sanitary sewage would be in place to help protect surface waters until municipal collection and treatment of sanitary sewage was put in place. Stated further that onsite septic systems are a temporary fix, particularly in the area of north Queensbury where there are shallow soils to bedrock, poor soils and steep slopes in some cases. Questioned what the current status of the latest town initiative involving the scheduled activities of the various water quality awareness committee. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Noted that there are ongoing discussions and at 11 o'clock tomorrow, I am meeting with Dave Decker and we are going to talk about these various issues, the Lake George initiative, septic systems, regional management entities, Board of Health capabilities or lack thereof, where are we, what can we do, what direction shall we go in, those are the things we're going to talk about. KATHLEEN SONNABEND-Read the following letter into the record-I want to urge everyone watching this meeting to attend two upcoming public hearings in this building, the Queensbury Activities Center, one this Wednesday June 4th at 7:30pm and one on Monday June 16th at 7:00pm. Both hearings involve efforts by moneyed interests to build even more intensive REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 06-02-2014 Mtg#22 40 developments, specifically apartment buildings, along the Bay Road office corridor in violation of the current zoning law which prohibits residences within 300 feet. This is happening because the owners of the southwest corner of Blind Rock and Bay have attempted over the past 10 years to get approval for an intensive apartment complex on land zoned for professional offices. Over the years they have succeeded in getting the town to reduce the prohibition from 1,000 feet to just 300 feet and now they want no prohibition at all. Since they lost the first round of our Article 78 lawsuit over the Fowler Square approval last fall being in violation of the code, they have delayed the appeal to the ZBA twice from April 23 to June 4t1i And in the meantime they are pursuing the zoning change for the entire corridor to make the appeal moot. The vast majority of area residents and many business owners do not want this change. I have with me a petition asking the town to uphold the zoning law that a couple hundred people have already signed. To be fair, I know that at least three of you Town Board members did not know this zoning change would be included in the resolution two weeks ago to set the public hearing for a package of zoning changes that were supposed to be mostly housekeeping items. And at that meeting, four of you clearly stated that you had not yet decided to vote for the change. I ask that you keep an open mind. As I have seen over and over again at both town and county government, too often voting officials are given incomplete information or a package of half- truths that put together leave a false impression. You have a chance to get the full picture by carefully considering information that credible citizens can offer. Many of these citizens have impressive and relevant professional and educational credentials. You don't have to personally be an expert on every matter that comes before you. Let us help you. Aside from the dramatic change to the character of the Bay Road corridor and traffic issues, the sewer capacity and costs to the town and property owners are under discussion. Please don't get sidetracked with details and lose the big picture. A proper, complete and up-to-date sewer study needs to be done before even considering such a change in zoning. It has been long known that the Bay Road corridor is not conducive to multi-user septic systems and building a sewer is very expensive due to bedrock and other considerations. When Travis Whitehead asked about a sewer study at the town board meeting two weeks ago, he was told there was a study. But what was given to him was the 2002 and 2006 MPR for the last two sewer extensions that included analysis of the capacity needs of every property along Bay Road up to and including Cedar Court that the town had purchased capacity, and a three page analysis from town engineer Chris Harrington from August 2013 that did not include the impact of code change and ignored most of those Bay road properties. This is not a real sewer study and it definitely did not envision the impact of the new proposed zoning change. It also did not acknowledge the growing problem of adding additional Queensbury sewage to the combined storm water and sewage lines of Glens Falls, which result in fines for both municipalities every time storm water surges result in raw sewage dumped into the Hudson River. There is another problem with the zoning change package that I would like you to recognize, and of which I know that at least one of you is aware. That is the provision to change from the Town Clerk to the office of the Zoning Administrator the place to which all zoning appeals, information requests and determinations are to be filed. I find this alarming. The Zoning Administrator had demonstrated that he is partial to certain moneyed interests rather than serving the town residents as a whole. To the contrary, the Town Clerk has always demonstrated independence as long as I have been closely following town government in the past decade. This requested zoning change is the result of the Article 78 lawsuit against Fowler Square in which the judge ruled that our suit was timely because a certain 2011 letter was never filed with the Town Clerk and therefore was not foilable. Further, the judge said that the letter did not obviate the need for a use variance. We need everything to be stamped in by the Town Clerk to avoid any possibility that important information can be undiscoverable. Happy to have been here for the awards to the Queensbury students, my daughter was on those same teams and those coaches who have been doing this for years do a phenomenal job. BOB DISTEFANO-Spoke to the Town Board regarding the ability to purchase a parcel of property on Veterans Road owned by the town. REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 06-02-2014 Mtg#22 41 COUNCILMAN VANNESS-Noted that the resolution to consider this purchase is on the agenda. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Noted that the town can sell it for fair market value and the Town Assessor gave a value of$6,000.00 for this piece of property. MR. DISTAFANO-Agreed to that amount. DOUG AUER, 16 Oakwood Drive-Spoke to the Town Board regarding the history of sewer on the Bay Road corridor and noted concern with proposed zoning changes for corridor. 3.0 RESOLUTIONS RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING GLENS FALLS LIONS CLUB DUATHLON RESOLUTION NO.: 188,2014 INTRODUCED BY: Mr. Doug Irish WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION SECONDED BY: Mr. Brian Clements WHEREAS, the Glens Falls Lions Club has requested permission to conduct its second annual Duathlon which will raise funds to enable them to continue their work in sight and hearing assistance and preservation as follows: SPONSOR: Glens Falls Lion Club EVENT: Duathlon DATE: Sunday, October 12th 2014 TIME: Approximately 8:30 a.m. PLACE: Beginning and ending at SUNY Adirondack (Letter and Map regarding location of walk attached); NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Queensbury Town Board hereby authorizes the Glens Falls Lion Club to conduct its second annual Duathlon within the Town of Queensbury as set forth above, contingent upon the Town's receipt of proof of proper insurance, and BE IT FURTHER, RESOLVED, that the Town Board approves this event subject to approval by the Town Highway Superintendent which approval may be revoked due to concern for road conditions at any time up to the date and time of the event, and REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 06-02-2014 Mtg#22 42 BE IT FURTHER, RESOLVED, that this event shall also be subject to the approval of the Warren County Superintendent of Public Works.

My intention is to be able to have a resolution to set a date for the public hearing at the June 16th Town Board meeting so that we can move forward on this. • Secondly, I want to make everyone aware of the Hudson Valley Firemen's Association Parade. The events actually start on June 18th the first parade is Friday night the 20th which is a Mardi Gras parade and the dress parade will be on the 21St of June. The fireworks will be Saturday night and the carnival will be there both Friday and Saturday night. REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 06-02-2014 Mtg#22 47 • There were residents that had inquired about a stop sign at the two intersections of Wintergreen, Lupine and Arbutus and the last I had heard they were going to put a petition together to bring to us. • We have looked at speed signs, the electronic signs. I am going to meet with John and we're going to see which would be the best for us to own and tag around the different neighborhoods. COUNCILMAN IRISH (WARD III) • I would like to remind everybody that the Queensbury Recreation Commission has got their summer flyer out this year and I would like to particularly call your attention to the efforts that the Queensbury Recreation Department puts forth for swimming lessons. I heard a report on TV not too long ago that fifty percent (50%) of adults don't learn to swim and by extension they never allow their kids to learn how to swim because they are afraid of the water. It's one of the best life skills that we can give kids in this area because we've got Lake Luzerne, Lake George, Sunnyside Lake, Glen Lake, the Hudson River, a lot of water around us in the Town of Queensbury and it really is a lifesaving skill. I would encourage anybody that hasn't been up to the Gurney Lane Pool or taken advantage of one of their programs from the Rec Commission, to do so. They are very reasonable and we've got the Q Club available for kids at the school all summer, that's a very good program. A lot of things go on at the Rec Commission and I want to make sure everybody has an opportunity to attend one of those programs. • The other thing I wanted to remind everybody of is Americade started this week, there are a lot of bikes out and there will be a lot more here before the end of the week. There are a lot of bicyclists out there enjoying the weather also so please make sure you're careful when you see them as well. • I noticed a number of covers for the water shutoffs in the road are missing; I probably saw five or six of them missing so I just wanted to make the town aware of that. • Construction has started on the roundabout at Aviation Road, Farr Lane and Dixon Road, things should be moving along pretty quickly. COUNCILMAN CLEMENTS (WARD II) • I am happy to see the Town of Queensbury selling property and it's going to become private property again, any place we can do that I am absolutely for that. • I had a speed reduction request from Bryce LeVan Cushing on Ridge Road between Quaker Road and Hicks Road and we will be looking into that. COUNCILMAN METIVIER(WARD I) • Compliment and thank John on your group for putting another great Memorial Parade. SUPERVISOR STROUGH REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING 06-02-2014 Mtg#22 48 • Director of Office for the Aging, Christie Sabo asked me if I would say a little bit about Bob Dalaba who lives on Aviation Road in Queensbury whose duty to community service is excelled by few others. Mr. Dalaba received the Warren County Contributing Senior of the Year Award. • The Animal Control Officer monthly report for April denotes 109 events, 345 so far this year. • The Queensbury Senior Citizens who meet in this building put out this flyer every month, the Queensbury Post which lists all kinds of various activities. They are a nice group of people doing so many good things; they have some great trips coming up too. If you want to have the newsletter mailed to you on a regular basis, call 761-8224 and join up. • Betty Little's office inducted former Supervisor John Webster into the New York State Senate Veterans Hall of Fame. I went to the induction with about fourteen members of his family and although the state senate was only allocating for three people's lunch, we all enjoyed lunch that was provided by Betty Little in her conference room. • It's pretty hard to beat the Glens Falls Queensbury Memorial Day Parade and I want to give credit to the pilots with the flyover which was new this year and I think it was a great addition to the parade's event. It followed the parade and it was just prior to the remembrance ceremony that we have at the Peace and Victory monument in front of the YMCA. The first aircraft, a 1942 Fairchild PT-23 was flown by its owner John Alexander and the second aircraft was a 1943 Boeing PT-17 Stearman Biplane flown by its owner Don Latterell. Each plane did two flybys and we're hoping that next year we can expand that. I have to thank Joan Aldous and Mike Shearer for helping to organize that event. COUNCILMAN VANNESS-As we are talking about Memorial Services, I would just like to mention the Trooper that was recently run down on the thruway. It is a law now, the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law that you change lanes whenever possible to get out of the way of an officer stopped on the side of the road. I would just ask that you keep this gentleman, Mr. Skinner's family in your prayers, it's really a tragic. SUPERVISOR STROUGH thanked Look TV and our sponsors.
