PUBLIC HEARING - LOCAL LAW REGARDING N��PLANNING BOARD
PPLICATIONS SUPER CEDING
APPLICATIONS AND PRELIMINARY AND F
TOWN I_AW SECTION 274-a(2) and SF_CTiON 276(3) and 276(4)
NOTICE SHOWN
ATTORNEY DUSEK-This is a proposed local law which would essentially modify sections
of the Town Law which require. u Planning Bourd to make a decision or act upon a subdivision
application or site plan review application within a certain length of time. At the present
time, if somebody submits a subdivision application for instance, the Planning Board must
act upon that within forty-five days. With as 1 soy, a public hearing for instance, takes some
sort of action with regard to it. Then otter a public hearing is held they have only forty-five
days more which to make a final decision regarding that application. The site plan is similar
although a site plan, it tray not be necessary to have a public hearing in connection with a
site plan. Basically this loco/ law would eliminate those forty-five day requirements and
substitute or actually the local law itself eliminates those requirements and says to the Planning
Board adopt time and procedure for accepting applications by way of regulation. Once this
local low is passed, presumably what would happen is the Planning Board would then meet,
establish what its rules and regulations would be. They've olreody given some indication what
they would like in the event that this is passed. That would. be, they would have a certain
number of items that would come on to each agenda and once the agenda is full, any new
matters would just simply be curried over to the next month. This would continue until possibly
there ore no other matters. in other words, the agenda for the first month, soy they hove,
pick an arbitrary number of ten on that month, that would be the the cap, and soy they got
twenty applications in during this month, they would put ten on for what would now be May,
and ten for June and keep doing that down the line. They would not have_ to worry about
the forty-five day requirement. Once they get in on the agenda and they ar' being processed what
the regulation would then require them to act within six months on any app t
it does essentially, the first forty-five day period is knocked out entirely and on agenda control
mechonisrn is set. The second forty-five days is limited to six months. Finally this local
low has what we call a sun set provision which would provide that after a certain period of
time, this local low would expire automatically, therefore so would the authority for those
rules and regulations adopted by the Planning Board. The only thing 1 guess 1 would like to
mention with regard to this, there will essentially be two public hearings. One public hearing
which is tonight concerning the local low, then there will be a second public hearing concerning
the rules and regulations to be adopted by the Planning Board. I hope that explains it.
SUPERVISOR BORG OS-Thank you. I think I can speak for myself and pow apn the commu members
of' the Board, but let them speak. We ore involved in a high rate al l. We have to balance the or g
1 think in the long run that is good, its better than no growth of al
fairness considerations between what is fair for a proposed developer or subdivider, and now
that means even someone who wants to split a property into two parcels. We hove to balance
that with the work food of essentially a volunteer group of Planning Board people who normally
met once a month, who are now meeting routinely four times a month. We ore saying it really
doesn't make a lot of sense to meet at seven or seven-thirty, begin at that hour in the evening
and work till midnight and stiff have eight or ten items ahead, and work until one or two o'clock
in the morning and wondering how much quality of work we con get in at that point. We don't
think that that's fair. On the We're caught l l►n State
funny situatioQenl would uldplkel to think we con
hove a few days to respond.
25
do things as efficiently as possible but this might be a situation where we can't. We can't
hire a Planning Board that I am aware of that would sit here five days a week from eight
to five. That is not the way it works. i like the concept of the sunset provision. Correct
me again. This would lust for two years, 'is that right?
ATTORNEY DUSEK-Yes, it is set to expire on the second anniversary.
SUPERVISOR 130RGOS-The word annual is in there and I think, it says the second annual
anniversary, I think it should mean the second anniversary. Two years from the dote of
enactment. I guess I'll have to support it in concept, personally, and we're not going to vote
on this tonight. That's my comment. i don't like it but I don't see any way around it.
T COUNCILMAN hIONTESI-I think you hit it pretty well Steve whey you talked about balancing
the fairness of people that arc here, people that have asked us to try and maintain a quality
of life in our community, to try and control growth, not to let it be rampant and unplanned.
We held a moratorium, we have u new master plan. 7hot muster plan has dictated that we'd
like to maintain more open space, we don't want to see the quality of life go down. So we
have actually reduce the density in our community. That was a need that people told us two
years ago. I think this is another step that we're recognizing that if we don't start controlling
or in some way having a handle on the agenda, that we may lose some good quality people
on our Planning Board and lose the quality that we're trying to maintain with the new master
plan. I support it whole heartily and I think we will be speaking more for the residents and
the constituents that we represent, then we are for the number of developers. I don't want
to annihilate them, I wont them to come to my community but I wont them to understand
that it has to be planned and controlled.
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-1 think one of the factors that people con deal with is if they know
what is coming down or if they can plan, us our Town is planning I think with being able to
have these different applicants come before the Planning Board and knowing whether they'll
be on the agenda and when they'll be on the agenda, it is helpful to a developer and it is helpful
to a local citizen. I support this. 1 think the Planning Board desperately needs it as a very
active volunteer Board, they've worked very, very hard and I don't think they con work any
harder than they are already working. I'm glad to see it come before this Board and I'm anxious
to hear from the public and take a vote on it.
y SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Thank you. Is there anyone from the public that would like to address
this topic at this time? Hearing none, call that public hearing closed.
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
8:00 P.M.
PUBLIC HEARING - PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS TO QUEENSBURY CONSOLIDATED WATER
DISTRICT - QUAKER ROAD TRANSMISSION MAIN
NOTICE SHOWN
ATTORNEY DUSEK-Actually this is a hearing be held pursuant to Section 202 of the Town
Law which requires a hearing to be held whenever an improvement is planned for a district.
In this case it is a water district, it is the Queenshury Consolidated Water District. It is
planning on improvement that would occur on Quaker Road consisting of a new water
transmission main. My understanding is there presently is one there now, but this would be
a replacement for that one and also be larger in capacity, to service the growing needs of
the Town. This hearing as I mentioned is in compliance with the Town Law and after this
hearing the Town Board would be in the position to conduct a SEQRA Review plus further
resolutions authorizing this improvement if the Town Board sees fit.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-One of the things 1111 call to your attention, if you ore not familiar
with this and Mr. Montesi did the last time was that there has been in place in the ground
a twelve inch water line essentially from LoFoyette Street all the way to approximately Ridge
Road. Is that right?
CO UNCILAIAN MONTESI-Albany Engineering.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Albany Engineering Systems. On either side of that there's a sixteen
inch main. We've had failures already I believe in the twelve inch and there some corrosive
soil in that area. At some point that is going to have to be replaced. The thought is to replace
it now at the some time Quaker Rood is being reconstructed, would make a lot of sense, it
will save money. The permit process with State agencies will be eliminated. It can all be
done much less expensively now then at a time in the future when it will hove to be done
anyway. We would be tying together sixteen lines all the way which provides substantial
extra amount of water. This is riot being done for any one particular project which may or
may not occur in the future or ruttier us a generul upgrading of the system since it's going
226
to have to be done anyway. It will b under
who the
wishe rood,
to comment one way base
or the other about
Rood, a good shore of it. Is there anyone
this topic?
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Tom, con I ask just a couple of questions. 1 was at a meeting and
some questions were asked of me. I'm addressing my questions to Tom Flaherty, Water
Superintendent. The highest usage of Ciba Geigy, in their prime, how much water did they
use a day?
TOM FLA HER TY, Water Superintendent-Four or five hundred thousand gallons a day.
COUNCILMAN M ON TESI-They're down essentially to zero. One major development,
specifically Hilond Pork, when built out, will compensate, will replace that usage of Ciba
Geigy. That was c► question that was osked of me. if Cibu Geigy is down, why do you need
to replace this twelve inch line, you don't hove that factory to supply. I said it's really been
replaced by one major development that is on the books and it's partially built and there is
potential for another major development on that rood. Not withstanding that, the development.
that is taking place along Quaker Road, just within the last three or four years, will
substuntiolly tax that line. i
MR. FLAHERTY-Thot's true. A couple of things you might want to take into consideration.
That is the only line that feeds the South Queensbury storage tonk. We ore already supplying
water to the Town of Kingsbury, as
a contract customer that's their one source through that
line. The soils, we've had experience with pipes foiling due to corrosion. When Quaker Road
is rebuilt, if you do not replace the line and we okay it, the existing twelve inch is going to
be under one of the driving tones of the rood, and 1 can't guarantee the integrity of that main.
We've hod four or five breaks there now. It just doesn't make sense to me to spend hundreds
of thousands of dollars to replace Quaker Road b onRopossibly
e 9►because we left the
hamain under
months later blow half of it like we did at the
the road.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-The unusual thing too, as you point out, that water tower,
that
water tank in South Queensbury, by the airport, the only feed into that, there is no loop so
the only feed is that twelve inch line up County Line Rood and Quaker Rood.
MR. FLAHERTY-That twelve inch main on Quaker Road is the main feed to that tonk. Another
consideration, it is the main supply for the Industrial Park.
COUNCILMAN MONTESi-That is the Warren-Washington County Industrial Park.
MR. FLAHERTY-Also the Queensbury Technical Pork. Anything below Ridge Rood.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Thank you. Anyone else?
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-We do have Kestner's Engineering representative, Bob Grimsley
and Jerry Thorne, is there anything you'd like to soy.
JERRY THORNE-Mr. Flaherty covered everything.
