Re: Site Plan Review Application
Adirondack Animal Hospital Faqade and Landscape Improvements
JMZ Project No. 1600.6
To Whom It May Concern:
On behalf of Adirondack Animal Hospital and Glendening Realty, LLC I am submitting the following
application for Site Plan Review at the April Planning Board Meeting. The Adirondack Animal Hospital
is located at 462 Ridge Road (Tax Parcel: 297.18-1 -1). It is currently zoned as Moderate Density
Residential (MDR), which allows for the current use under a special use permit.
The scope of work is a renovation of the front fagade (facing Ridge Road) as well as an addition of a
165 sf. vestibule. The renovation will allow for improved client access to the Animal Hospital, as well
as a significantly improved visual character to the building and the site from Ridge Road. Additionally,
we are proposing a new parking layout with the intent to repave and expand upon the current lot in
order to provide a code compliant number of spaces, as well as two designated handicap accessible
spaces. There will be site work that addresses the stormwater management of the new parking areas,
as well as new site lighting that will match the existing decorative light poles on site.
The current lot has two areas of paved parking that provide approximately 17 parking spaces. Prior to
a transfer of 55 feet of property from the lot to the North, the existing parking was located within 5
feet of the property line. The code requires a Type C buffer between commercial/retail and single-
family residential uses. A Type C buffer is extremely restrictive at this property. Based on the Town of
Queensbury Zoning Code, the property is required to have 23 spaces (13 based on square footage,
10 based on number of employees). The proposed layout is shown with a Type A buffer of 10 feet.
This would allow for both an improved separation and the necessary number of parking spaces.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments prior to the meeting. Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
Andrew Parsons, AIA
