Re, AV 11-2015 Maurice Combs
Dear Zoning Board of Appeals Members:
This office represents Maurice Combs with respect to his proposed 7 lot subdivision located at
636 Corinth Road. You may recall, we were before the Zoning Board of Appeals on May 27,
2015, at which time the application was tabled.
Since that meeting, the Queensbury Consolidated Water District has been extended to include
the entire parent parcel. Therefore, public water service is available for all proposed lots.
Additionally, the highway department has agreed to a 20' asphalt road section, which will reduce
impermeable surfaces considerably.
Concern had been expressed at prior meetings about potential drainage and groundwater
problems in the area. On May 1, 2015, seven deep soils test pits were excavated and inspected
in the presence of the Chazen Companies representative. Soils were confirmed to be deep well-
drained sands with no evidence of groundwater observed in any of the test excavations.
On behalf of owner/applicant Maurice Combs, we look forward to discussing this project again at
one of the March Zoning Board of Appeals meetings.
Please contact me if you have any questions or if you require additional information.
Best Regards,
G. Thomas Hutchins, P.E.
