ORDERED:
I. The boundaries of the proposed Water District Extension No. 51 are as set forth in
the Map, Plan and Report and as follows:
All that certain tract or parcel of land situate in the Town of Queensbury, County of
Warren, State of New York being more fully described as follows:
Beginning at An iron rod found in the west bounds of Corinth Road, County Road 28, said
point being the southeast corner of lands of Maurice H. Combs, and the northeast corner of
lands of Jeanne M. Moss, running thence along the south bounds of lands of Combs and the
north bounds of Moss and lands of Kathy Naatz North 77 degrees 29 minutes 09 seconds
West, 1048.66 feet to an iron rod found, said point being the southwest corner of lands of
Combs, the southeast corner of lands of William A. and Cheryl M. Havernen and the south
corner of lands of John J. Layden, thence North 35 degrees 41 minutes 30 seconds East,
417.40 feet along the west bounds of lands of Combs and the east bounds of Layden, lands of
Richard J. and Kimberlee A. Koke and lands of Barbara H. Jones to the northwest corner of
lands of Combs and the southwest corner of lands of Anne L. Paolano, thence South 77
degrees 04 minutes 45 seconds East, 1067.25 feet along the north line of lands of Combs and
the south bounds of lands of Paolano, lands of Robert and Lynn Russell, lands of Joseph E. and
Michelle C. Giogianni, lands of Gary F. and Wendy L. Sisti and lands of John A. and Candice
A. Morabito to a concrete monument found in the west bounds of Corinth Road, said point
being the northeast corner of lands of Combs, thence along the west bounds of Corinth Road
South 38 degrees 26 minutes 21 seconds West, 418.23 feet the point of beginning. Containing
9.24 Acres of land.
Excepting the easterly 20.08 Acres of lands of Maurice Combs lying within the existing Town
2
of Queensbury Consolidated Water District.
2. The municipal water which will serve the subdivision is proposed to be provided
by the Queensbury Consolidated Water District which presently has a water main along the west
side of Corinth Road. A 6" tapping sleeve and water valve will be installed at the existing 24"
ductile iron water main. The new 6" ductile iron water supply will be installed along the north
side of the new subdivision road and will dead-end at a fire hydrant on the west side of the cul-de-
sac. Individual taps to serve each new building lot will be made to this new 6" water line. All
new installations and taps will be coordinated with the Town of Queensbury Water Department.
Maintenance of the existing and new facilities will be provided by the Town of Queensbury Water
Department.
3. All new capital costs associated with the installation of the new water supply
facilities, including materials, excavation and labor, will be paid by the Subdivision developer.
There is no cost to the Town or the District for this District Extension No. 51.
4. The capital improvements necessary for this service area will be provided and paid
for by the Subdivision Developer and so there will be no debt service costs related to this District
Extension No. 51 to the District. The typical taxable assessed value of the properties in the
subdivision will likely range from $250,000 to $350,000 per finished residence. Such newly
created properties will pay for maintenance of the new facilities as part of their Queensbury
Consolidated Water District ad valorem tax and their water use fees. Individual homeowners will
be billed for their respective water use in accordance with the standard rates of the Queensbury
Consolidated Water District. Such estimated quarterly cost of the District Extension No. 51 to
the typical property in the District Extension No. 51 (assuming an average water usage) is $51.40.
The ad valorem tax rate of the existing Water District is $34.30 per $100,000 assessed value, and
so the ad valorem taxes will range from $85.75 - $120.05 for a typical property, with a total
estimated annual cost for a typical property ranging from $291.35 - $325.65. All individual water
service connections will be made by the water main contractor during installation of the 6" water
main and under the supervision of the Town of Queensbury Water Department. Estimated cost
3
for the service connection/meter is between $950.00 and $1,400.00 depending on length of
service and estimated cost for 3/4" line from curb box to the house if$800.00. All hook-up costs
are to be paid by the developer and all houses will be built move-in-ready. There is an equity buy-
in to the Queensbury Consolidated Water District of$100.00 per lot for a total of$700.00. The
equity buy-in to the Queensbury Consolidated Water District will be paid by the Developer. The
Developer will also have to pay all legal and administrative fees incurred by the Town associated
with extending the District and the subsequent consolidation of the extension into Queensbury
Consolidated Water District. That fee will be $1,875.
5. A detailed explanation of how the estimated costs of the District Extension No. 51
were computed is included in the Map, Plan and Report which has been filed with the Queensbury
Town Clerk and is available for public inspection.
6. The developer of the Subdivision will pay all costs of the improvements so there
will be no financing required by the Town on behalf of the District.
7. The proposed improvements shall be constructed and installed as specifically
delineated in the Map, Plan and Report and in full accordance with the Town of Queensbury's
specifications, ordinances or local laws, and any State laws or regulations, and in accordance with
approved plans and specifications and under competent engineering supervision.
8. The Town Board shall meet and hold a public hearing at the Queensbury Activities
Center, 742 Bay Road, Queensbury, New York at 7:00 p.m., on Monday, January 25th, 2016 to
consider the Map, Plan and Report and to hear all persons interested in the proposal and to take
such other and further action as may be required or authorized by law.
