Re. Application of Queensbury Partners, LLC- Site Plan pursuant to Planned Unit
Development
Property: Comer of Bay and Blind Rock Roads, Queensbury
Tax Map Parcels: 289.19 --23 through 35, inclusive
Dear Chairman Hunsinger and Planning Board Members:
I enclose herewith I original and 14 copies of the site plan application relative to the above.
At the outset, please note that it is our position that the prior site plan review will remain as
approved. The Court, in the case of Sonnabend et al v. Town of Queensbury et al, did not
challenge the underlying site plan approval, nor did the petitioners challenge the underlying
SEQRA negative declaration. The Court evidenced its intention to clarify its prior ruling that the
entire site plan review was not overturned. Rather, the granting of approval for residential use
within 30,0 feet of Bay Road was overturned. With the Planned Unit Development approval, it is
our further position that the PUD legislation will then supersede the Court's decision on the 300
foot issue.
Nonetheless, in the interests of moving for-ward in a timely fashion, we are providing the site
plan application. Please note that some of the materials from the Planned Unit Development
application similarly apply to the site plan. Whenl filed that PUD application, as part of the
761 0 d �AWA S I L AK GF-OR(331-, NY 1284b 518-668-2190 , — , , ,, /, , —
application requirements, sufficient copies for the planning board were filed, and I believe are
being forwarded to the planning board members as well. As such, in the interests of saving trees
and not wasting paper, we have not re-printed the following materials from the PUD application:
• ZBA record of resolution August 22, 24113;
• Planning Board deten-nination August 23, 2013;
• Excerpt of Planning Board minutes April 23, 2013 for negative SEQRA

5. Prior highway cut approval. As the planning board is awarefrorn the prior review, long
ago the County had approved the road cuts off'of Bay and Blind Rock Roads.
Subsequent to the last approval, we net with DOT once again and were ready to proceed
with those pen-nits but the Article 78 intervened. The road cuts were acceptable then as
well and we will proceed with those pennits as part of the project if or when approved.
We appreciate the Planning Board's continued patience and efforts on this project. My clients
still firmly believe in the project that all boards helped shape. We are hopeful and confident that
we can now proceed with this project for the benefit of everyone involved. Thank you,
Since

Project Narrative
February 15, 2013
Re-dated October I , 2015
The project is located at the corner of Bay and Blind Rock Roads in the; 'town of
Queensbury, Warren County, New York. The parcel is 34.050 acres as, surveyed, and includes
an Army Corps,jurisdictional wetland of 10.55 acres, slopes in excess of 20% of 1.28 acres, and
existing easements of 0,393) acres, leaving a buildable area per the Town of Queensbury Zoning
Law of 21.827 acres. fhe property is zoned "Oflice (0)".
The project as proposed includes I I buildings ranging from mixed use to multifamily
residential. All proposed uses are permitted in the zone. Submitted with the narrative and part
of the supporting documentation are the development summary statistics for all buildings, and
the site in general. For the sake of brevity, we will not set them forth herein.
The proposed uses include offices, small retail, food service, etc., supporting the 'village'
concept of the project as envisioned through now years of review. Exterior seating will be
located along patios and under pergolas that compliment the proposed mixed use structures.
Much is made in the Town's 2007 Comprehensive Plan of walkability and inclusion of
paths within the Bay Road corridor. That as, incorporating complimentary uses in a project, and
including amenities where pedestrian traffic is, pleasing, and incorporated into a project, not just
a part of the project. We believe this project is the first of its kind in Queensbury to actually
focus oil complimentary uses. On site, pedestrian trails, paths, and connections have been
intentionally incorporated into the project, and not a mere afterthought to satisfy some zoning
requirement, Multifamily housing to the rear and above the offices and retail along Bay Road
creates a sustaining project, and the vision of proper paths integrates the two, The Town can
only compliment this project with further direction to any future development in this immediate
vicinity, including across Bay Road. In addition, should the Town seek to maximize the benefit
of this project on neighboring properties and housing developments, pedestrian improvements
such as paths along Bay and Blind Rock Roads should be a focus off Town planning and
investment, If you review the plans, you will see that the paths and trails have been placed to
compliment the uses and the structures, while also leaving open future potential connection to
other development along Bay and Blind Rock Roads. This is the spirit of the Comprehensive
Plan.
Much has been made in the past with regard to the 300 foot setback along Bay Road.
This setback was intended to preserve space for commercial. and office use, a laudable goal for
sure. With this proposal and the work of the Planning Board, ZBA, and the joint reviews, we
believe the prQject strikes a balance between this goal and a worthwhile project for the Town.
Allowing apartments above office and commercial uses is complimentary, and has allowed the
project to maximize green space to the extent possible. This creates an economically viable and
aesthetically pleasing project, while opening this side of Town to an array of services not
otherwise afforded to local residents. It is the applicant's plan that the buildings will be filled
with uses that compliment one another, and offer Sustaining services to this area of'rown as well.
In short, we are confident that the project, as it has been molded and shaped through two
years of sketch reviews, is the culmination of countless beneficial comments and reviews, and is
the project for this property, on this corner, in Town,

RR,13kB Group Subdivision Review,CR 7&CR 17
I have reviewed the proposed plans for the aboye captioned, after receiving thern,earlier
today from Lisa.
Our previous concerns regarding the three-lot drive entrance In the northwest have been
addressed by combining the duce lots into one,and keeping the proposed entrance
toward the east.,
The grading and drairiage of the proposed mad as shown ori sheets three and four of the
latrans are acceptable.
The proposad w�atorlinc shown on sheet two of the plans is also acceptable as long
there is no open cul across either County Road. as
A retitivaly minor Oversight,which could be shown,is the missing call for sight distanco
ort shoes three at the intersection of the proposed road with Blind Rook Road,in the
direction toward Bay Road.
I see no n.-,ison why a Highway Permit mot be issued when tht typical insuraricc
requiroments etc,have(been fulfilled.
