TRAVER-All right. Welcome to the Queensbury Planning Board meeting for Tuesday, August 22nd. This is the second meeting of the month of August and the 17" meeting for the year. We have no administrative items this evening, but we do have, the first on our agenda is a tabled item, William Rourke, Site Plan 40-2017. SITE PLAN NO. 40-2017 SEQR TYPE 11 WILLIAM ROURKE OWNER(SJ SAME AS APPLICANT ZONING WR LOCATION 21 JAY ROAD APPLICANT HAS REVISED PLANS FOR A 2,016 SQ. FT. ADDITION TO AN EXISTING 494 SQ. FT.

REFERRAL N/A SITE INFORMATION CEA LOT SIZE .29 ACRES TAX MAP NO. 289.10443 SECTION 17943-010 WILLIAM & TORI ROURKE, PRESENT MRS. MOORE-Okay. So the applicant has revised their plans. So they received an Area Variance for permeability and they are now proposing a 2,016 square foot addition which includes crawl space for mechanicals and an attached garage, and if you remember previously they had, they were going to convert the garage area and build that into the single story addition, but that's no longer the case. They took that completely out. So they meet all the setbacks and the only thing that they've requested and were granted was permeability. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Very good. MRS. MOORE-And so what I will add is that the applicant has provided additional information which is in your packets tonight. There are some landscaping things that are being proposed that I identified. So in turn the applicant has identified on the plot plan that's in front of you some landscaping things that are occurring, and if you went out to the site in front of the home there were, probably a year or so ago, two years ago, there were some shrub items there. So the applicant had taken those out and now as part of this plan he's saying he's removing stumps. So that's just the, I don't know if they're the arborvitaes or some short of shrub plant. So he's removing that, re-seeding that area. So he's putting lawn in. I mentioned to the applicant that there might be some additional vegetation that the Board may want to see, but right now he's proposing to re-sod that area and have it lawn. So the Board's aware. MR. TRAVER-And is this in the buffer area? MRS. MOORE-Yes. So right now there was some. MR. FORD-Without any plantings other than grass. 2 [Queensbury Planning Board 08/22/2017] MRS. MOORE-At the moment, and that's why I identified with the applicant that the Board may request some additional plantings but right now there's nothing. Right now it's just some stumps and some open area. So now he's at least proposing to put grass in that area to clean it up and the Board may have that discussion with the applicant., MR. TRAVER-Okay. Great. Thank you, Laura. Good evening. Are you the applicant? MR. ROURKE-Yes. MR. TRAVER-If you could come up to the table and state your name for the record. MR. ROURKE-My name is Bill Rourke. This is my wife Tori. And we have, I was under the impression the last time we could build on the footprint. We've taken, we were going to build on the footprint of the garage, and that was the issue with the setback. So we've changed all of our plans for the house. We're completely inside the setbacks, square footage. We were going to have a cellar. Now we're going to have a five foot crawl space. We're going to get rid of the garage, get rid of the shed and as Laura said we received Zoning Board approval last Wednesday night. MR. TRAVER-Okay. All right. Anything else? MR. ROURKE-We have, we bought the camp probably a year and a half, almost two years ago, and we did at that time take some shrubs off of the front area, very buggy. I grew up next door to this property, very buggy and not too nice. We have put flowers in that area. We have taken, there were some three large stumps on the lakeside. MR. TRAVER-These were old pines I think, right? MR. ROURKE-Yes, and I remember, my brother remembers, and we took those stumps out and plan to seed that area and the area directly in front of the porch, some of these shrubs were there and that was kind of sloped down so we intend to level that up and put grass there. MR. TRAVER-So you're going to bring fill in. MR. ROURKE-Yes. MR. TRAVER-On the, between the house and the lake. MR. ROURKE-Yes. There's a rectangle that has been built up previously by other people and they're placed six by six's and that's where we're going to bring the fill in and put grass. Also on the side of the, the north side of the existing house were some, I guess they're hemlocks, and we're going to take those out. They're going to be in the excavated area for the crawl space, and we're moving them to the back of the property. There's a block patio on the south side of the property. I'm taking that out. So that's about all we're proposing. MR. FORD-You're transplanting hemlocks? MR. ROURKE-In the back, yes. They're about 10 feet tall, and they're going to be, they're right in the excavated area for the crawl space. MR. FORD-How many? MR. ROURKE-Probably eight or ten, and we're going to just take them up and transfer them back to the back. MR. TRAVER-All r4ight. Is that it? MR. ROURKE-That's it. MR. TRAVER-Additional questions, comments from members of the Planning Board? MR. MAGOWAN-It seems like you're doing a little, either pre-work or moving along with the project. It's a smart move, but no the front you're changing a few things, correct? MR. ROURKE-Those shrubs came down about two years ago. We didn't want them there. They were too tall, lots of bugs. So when we first bought the camp, we cut those down. 3 [Queensbury [Manning Board 08/22/2017) MR. MAGOWAN-Well' by changing the whole lot around and that, you know, what we usually ask for people to do is to have some form of landscaping plan for the front to protect the lake for runoff, stormwater and stuff like that. Can you supply something like that, give us an idea of what's going on up front? Six by six timbers and bringing in fill. MR. ROURKE-I've put on the plans, you know, I've made some notes on here, area to be leveled and top soiled with grass, right outside the porch and then to the south stumps too be removed, area to be leveled and top-soiled with grass, and that's what we intend to do. MR. MAGOWAN-Well, this is the latest one here, am I right? MR. ROURKE-No, that was updated. MR. MAGOWAN-Well this one's dated 12/04/16, and it still has the bump out, but you've taken the bump out out on the side. Right? MR. ROURKE-Yes, we've completely revised the plan or the house plan to go straight back. MR. MAGOWAN-1 mean, I'm not trying to bust chops here, but, you know, you're changing everything, and you got a variance for the permeability. You're putting a larger lot on there. So you're taking up some of the absorption rates and, you know, what I'm worried about is everything sloping down towards the lake. So what do we have, and you have a storm system, what do we have in place to help prevent any pollutants and that from going into the lake. Do you follow what I'm saying? There is a planting, we do have brochures and that for the planting and stuff, but, I mean, I can understand get rid of the shrubs, but usually those things absorb a lot of water, you know, pine trees that aren't up there anymore that were there a long time ago and now you're taking out roots so now you've got loose soil underneath, and backfilling that in. Are we going to tamp it down or are you going to have a, heavy rain, will it sink? MR. ROURKE-Well, they were both slanted toward the lake and I have, I'm going to have them level not slanted, and they're surrounded by the six by six's. So I would think that would slow down any rain toward the lake, and grass. I mean, if you suggest something. MR. MAGOWAN-Well you were a surveyor, weren't you? MR. ROURKE-Still am. MR. MAGOWAN-That's good. So you know what I'm talking about. MR. ROURKE-Yes. MR. MAGOWAN-Like you said you removed a lot from the front, and then we're adding on to the back, and, you know, you brought it into Code, thank you very much. I do like not having the bump out there. MR. TRAVER-The issue really, as far as the lakeside is concerned, is that grass is really not an effective filter of stormwater runoff. Usually they recommend a combination of low, medium and high shrubs to prevent the runoff from going into the lake. There's a lot of concern about the eutrophication of Glen Lake and Lake George and most of that we've found in recent years is caused by stormwater runoff and grass really, you tend to have a lot of sheet runoff with grass, and so around Lake George, for example, we have regulations that require a 15 foot buffer. MR. ROURKE-Well, I mean, this is, it's about, oh, 20 to, well, 25 feet away from the edge of the shore. There's a sitting area down there that's level. So these two areas are 25 feet away from the shore. We don't mind if you suggest we put some shrubs in. We can put some shrubs in. MR. TRAVER-Yes, if you can put some kind of buffering between the grass area and the actual water to help with preventing the stormwater and the runoff, and there is, in the Town Code there are some guidelines for the types of plants that are non-invasive that do well in this climate and so on. So we would just have to talk about a number so that we can make that part of the resolution. Right? I don't know if you had something specific in mind. MR. MAGOWAN-Well, no, I mean, I'm just not seeing anything, and, you know I've heard that you've removed things. Do you know what I'm saying? MR. TRAVER-We're looking for a buffer. 4 [Queensbury Planning Board 08/22/2017] MR. FORD-And we need specificity. Because we've got someone from the Town who's going to go there and measure and verify and count. MR. ROURKE-Well, I thought the grass was going to be, you know, before where the shrubs were was mulch and slanted. So I thought that grass was going to be better. MR. TRAVER-As long as it's in combination with other types of vegetation, it's fine. It's just that if you use that alone, there's little to prevent the water from, stormwater. MR. ROURKE-All right. I can get together with the Town, whoever. MR. TRAVER-What was the width of the property at the shoreline? MR. MAGOWAN-Fifty feet. MR. ROURKE-Fifty feet. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Laura, I don't know if you have any suggestions as far as numbers of plantings for a 50 foot wide area? MRS. MOORE-It's one large tree and one small tree, or if it's a 50 foot wide lot so it's one tree, one shrub. MR. TRAVER-One tree and one shrub. MRS. MOORE-Right. In this case you're 50 feet from the shoreline, and again, this is a discussion with the Board. So one tree, is it better to have two shrubs versus one tree because of the distance, the proximity to the house and to the shore. MR. TRAVER-Right. MRS. MOORE-So, I mean, that's a discussion the Board can have. MR. TRAVER-Yes, so either a tree or a shrub or two shrubs. Okay. How do Planning Board members feel about two shrubs? MR. FORD-1 don't think it's enough. MR. TRAVER-What would you suggest? MR. FORD-It all depends on what the shrubs are. MR. TRAVER-Well, true. MR. FORD-Size, width, height. MR. ROURKE-These shrubs really they were planted quite a while ago and they just got out of hand. MR. TRAVER-I'm sure. Yes. If you get new ones and they're manicured and maintained properly, which I'm sure you would do, they should be nice. MR. ROURKE-1 don't mind that at all. MS. WHITE-There's a list of acceptable shrubs. MRS. MOORE-In the shoreline buffer. So if you were to suggest that the applicant provide three shrubs that are from the shoreline buffer regs, would that be sufficient, I guess. MR. TRAVER-So three shrubs from the list? MRS. MOORE-Not my suggestions. MR. TRAVER-1 understand. MR. DEEB-What's the length? 5 [Queensbury [Manning Board 08/22/2017) MR. TRAVER-Fifty feet. MR. FORD-5-0. MR. DEEB-Three shrubs in 50 feet. MR. TRAVER-Well, that's, the number is what we have to determine. I mean, the applicant is willing to plant some shrubs there to protect the shoreline. We just need to be specific. MR. DEEB-Whatever the guidelines are. MR. TRAVER-Well the guidelines are at least one tree and one shrub. MR. DEEB-If we use shrubs from the guidelines, whatever number they suggest, and then pick from the guidelines to get the shrubs. MRS. ROURKE-The area that the shrubs were in is like 20 feet wide. MR. ROURKE-Yes, it's not the 50 feet. MR. TRAVER-Right. MR. ROURKE-We were given an apple tree about a couple of months ago, and it's dying because I haven't planted it. MR. TRAVER-Yes. Well that would be a great location for an apple tree, down by the shoreline. So how about putting the, hypothetically, and we need to discuss this as a Board, but what about say the apple tree and maybe two shrubs. Maybe you could put the apple tree on one side of your access and then the shrubs on the other, something like that, and then you'd have the fresh grass in the back. MR. ROURKE-That's fine. MR. TRAVER-And you're leveling it off so that should hopefully help with the stormwater. MR. ROURKE-That's fine. MS. WHITE-Have the shrubs from the acceptable list. MR. ROURKE-All right. I'll get that from Laura. MR. FERONE-What about the eight to ten hemlocks that are being removed? MS. WHITE-Those are up in back. MR. TRAVER-Those are going to be around back. MR. FERONE-Okay. MR. FORD-So eight to ten of those ten footers have come out of there and we're replacing it with an apple tree and two shrubs. MR. TRAVER-Well, yes, but they're on the side, right? They're not in the front. MR. ROURKE-You're asking what did I do with the shrubs? MR. TRAVER-The hemlocks. MR. ROURKE-The hemlocks are in back. MR. TRAVER-Right. Where do they come from? MRS. ROURKE-The driveway. MR. TRAVER-In the front? Between the house and the lake? 6 [Queensbury [Manning Board 08/22/2017) MR. ROURKE-No, it's in back of the existing hill, and they're up on a five foot bank that's going to be excavated. MR. TRAVER-Okay. So to clarify for our discussion regarding the buffering between the house and the lake, what was removed were these old shrubs that were not kept and nasty or whatever. So those were removed, and then there were some stumps that were removed. MR. ROURKE-Yes. MR. TRAVER-And then the other part of the process that you're proposing is to prepare this level area, put fresh grass down there and then perhaps as part of our proposal this new apple tree and some shrubs, all right. MR. ROURKE-We'll probably do more than you suggest. MR. TRAVER-Yes. MR. FORD-How about a shrub from our approved list every three feet? In addition to the apple tree? MR. ROURKE-Well, I don't know. You already said two shrubs. MR. DEEB-That's a lot of shrubs. MR. ROURKE-1 don't know if we'll go every three feet. That's a lot of shrubs. MR. FORD-Well, that's a lot of runoff we're trying to prevent. MR. ROURKE-Yes. There was probably, how many, we took away, two years ago, we just cut them down, about three total, and they just got out of hand. They were buggy. So we'll, I don't know about every three feet. It's, we're talking about 20 foot and then we're talking another probably 15 feet, you know, where this grass is. MS. WHITE-And it's not exactly aesthetically pleasing, either. I like the one tree on one side and two shrubs. MRS. MOORE-So there's other requirements for say ground cover. So a combination of a tree, a shrub and some ground cover and that would include a lot of, you have 50 feet of, I guess what's the width of the house in front? MR. ROURKE-Twenty. MRS. MOORE-Twenty. So the Board could request that 20 feet be covered with ground cover, the two or three shrubs, and the apple tree. MR. DEEB-That sounds reasonable. MR. FORD-1 want a specific number. MR. ROURKE-All right. Let's go with three shrubs and one tree. MR. FORD-And ground cover. MR. ROURKE-Do you prefer grass over mulch? MR. TRAVER-Yes, grass over mulch, yes. MR. FORD-Yes. MR. ROURKE-1 would think that grass would be better. MR. FORD-Grass has roots. Mulch does not. MR. TRAVER-Right. MR. ROURKE-Three shrubs and a tree. 7 (Queensbury Planning Board 08/22/2017) MR. TRAVER-Three shrubs and then the apple tree. MR. ROURKE-1 don't know if I can do the apple tree. It's not going to live. MS. WHITE-Well, if not, some other kind of nice tree. MR. TRAVER-All right. So just polling the Board, how do members feel about that for the lakeside area, in terms of buffering, three shrubs? MR. MAGOWAN-That's better than what we started with. You said you'll plan on probably doing more. MR. ROURKE-Yes. MR. TRAVER-Okay. All right. Other questions, comments, concerns about the project? MS. WHITE-No. MR. TRAVER-Okay. All right. So the plan as revised appears okay. Really our issue has been the shoreline buffering. We think we can address that with the discussions with the applicant. So if there are no other questions or comments or concerns or other conditions that the Board feels need to be applied, I guess we can look at a motion. MRS. MOORE-You need to do your public hearing. MR. MAGOWAN-Yes, we've got a public hearing. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you. Yes, we do have a public hearing on this application for William Rourke, Site Plan 40-2017. Are there folks in the audience that wanted to address the Board on this application? No? Are there any written comments, Laura? PUBLIC HEARING OPENED MRS. MOORE-No written comments for this application. MR. TRAVER-Then we'll close the public hearing. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED MR. TRAVER-This is a Type II SEAR. So we don't need to do SEQR on this. So now we're ready for the motion.

FERONE-With the addition of, as part of the landscaping plan on the lakeside of the property that there would be three shrubs which would be selected from the shoreline buffer list of shrub, one tree and ground cover, preferably grass, installed. MS. WHITE-Not grass, not grass. MR. FERONE-Not grass. MS. WHITE-The grass cover will go in there, but then there's going to be ground cover. That will be off of the list. Sorry. MR. FERONE-Okay. Ground cover. MS. WHITE-Yes. MR. FERONE-Okay. I amend that. MR. FORD-1 disagree with that. I want roots, and ground cover does not necessarily provide roots. You've got ground cover. You mentioned mulch. MR. TRAVER-Well, I think ground cover from the list on the website is actually. MR. MAGOWAN-Like wandering Jews or something like that which has a root system. MR. TRAVER-Just to keep the erosion down. MR. FORD-As long as it's got roots. MR. MAGOWAN-Ground cover with roots there. MR. TRAVER-Right, yes, information on that is also on the website. All right. MR. FORD-1 withdraw my objection. MR. TRAVER-Thanks. 9 (Queensbury Planning Board 08/22/2017) MR. FERONE-Modify the motion to re-iterate, in addition to the conditions provided by Staff that there will be, on the lakeside, three shrubs selected from the shoreline list of preferable shrubs, one tree and ground cover along with grass. MR. TRAVER-Well the grass isn't on the shoreline. And that's already on the plan. MR. FERONE-It's not. MR. MAGOWAN-Ground cover shrubbery. MR. FERONE-Ground cover. MRS. MOORE-Can I clarify? So the tree selection, the shrub selection and the ground coverage are all items that are identified vegetation from the approved list. MR. TRAVER-From the approved list, as per Code. I mean, that would have to be the case anyway. Right? MRS. MOORE-Yes. MR. TRAVER-Yes, okay. Thank you for that clarification. All right. We have a motion that's been made and seconded. Any other questions o that motion? MS. GAGLIARDI-I'm sorry, who seconded that? MS. WHITE-1 did. MR. TRAVER-And we're ready for the vote.

REFERRAL AUGUST 2017 LOT SIZE .62 ACRES TAX MAP NO. 239.15440 SECTION 179-3-040, 17943-010 DENNIS MAC ELROY, REPRESENTING APPLICANT, PRESENT MR. TRAVER-Laura? MRS. MOORE-Okay. So this applicant proposes a 225 sq. ft. single story addition to an existing 1,064 sq. ft. home footprint. In turn this addition is going to be a bedroom. There's some interior alterations that occur with this but the primary focus is to be single story, and it doesn't meet the setbacks. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you. Good evening. MR. MAC ELROY-Good evening. I'm Dennis MacElroy with Environmental Design, representing Katharine Seelye as the application moving forward for an Area Variance as well as Site Plan Review. We're seeking the recommendation for tomorrow night's Board meeting with the ZBA. The project, as Laura indicated, is a relatively simple addition to the existing structure. The owner would like to have a downstairs bedroom as she ages gracefully so that involves adding about a 14 and a half by 16 foot addition to the easterly side of the existing structure. This area of Queensbury, as you're aware, is the one that has the 75 foot shoreline setback. This structure was there well before zoning came around or its predecessor in some form. Actually this lot was, there were two lots there when the Seelye family first purchased this land a generation ago. They consolidated that with one of the existing cottages. So the addition doesn't comply with the 75 foot setback. The house as it exists is as close as 33 feet. This addition would be at 50 feet instead of the required 75. So we're hopeful that that's a reasonable variance request in consideration of the existing conditions. MR. TRAVER-So it's not an additional encroachment on the setback, but it is within the setback which requires the variance. MR. MAC ELROY-Correct. MR. TRAVER-All right. Thank you. Any questions, comments from members of the Planning Board? MR. MAGOWAN-Yes. The north side is 33 feet and the other side of that is even closer. Right? On the main house, and you're sitting way back on the far half corner. MR. MAC ELROY-Correct, but it's still the subject of the variance request. MR. MAGOWAN-Understood. MR. SHAFER-Dennis, the existing septic tank has to be re-located it says? MR. MAC ELROY-Yes. We were before the Board of Health last night and gained that variance that would allow the re-location of the tank and re-location in a way that wasn't the 10 feet that's normally required. Where the existing tank is would conflict with the foundation of the addition. MR. SHAFER-Everything else stays the same? MR. MAC ELROY-Correct. MR. SHAFER-I didn't see the perc test data on the sheet. MR. MAC ELROY-No, because it's an existing system. MR. SHAFER-Good, bad, different, middle of the road? MR. MAC ELROY-Well I did the design so many years ago. Let's see, it required four Elgin trenches at 28. So it was probably in the teens, you know, 15, something like that. MR. SHAFER-Thanks. MR. FORD-But it is being updated? MR. MAC ELROY-The system itself is not. This is remaining at the four bedroom. \ 11 (Queensbury Planning Board 08/22/2017) MR. FORD-It says the site work includes updated septic. MR. MAC ELROY-By the re-location of the septic tank. That's the change, that's the update. MR. FORD-That's the update. MR. MAC ELROY-And I said re-location. Really replacement. They won't re-use that existing tank. They'll put in a new tank. It's just easier to pump it and break it up, get rid of it and put in a new tank rather than try to dig around and pull the old one out. MR. DEEB-And that's for a four bedroom house? MR. MAC ELROY-Correct. MR. DEEB-What is it now? MR. MAC ELROY-It's still a four bedroom. MR. DEEB-There's not four bedrooms there. MR. MAC ELROY-Currently there are four. She's going to consolidate space upstairs, and if you really looked at the floor plan you'd see where one of those bedrooms upstairs has to be passed through to get to the bathroom on that floor. So it's a camp bedroom. She didn't have any need to expand bedroom area, but wanted the bedroom down on the first floor. MR. TRAVER-There is no public hearing on this because it's referral to the ZBA. Another Type II SEAR. Do members of the Board have any concerns that they would like to pass along to the ZBA as this is reviewed by that body? Hearing none, I guess we're ready for a motion.

MC CALL-Good evening. My name's Doug McCall. I'm representing Richard and Deborah Provenzano and their home on Neighbors Way. Like I said before, they're looking to retire and move from Vermont and this would become their permanent residence. We're trying to keep an existing camp the way it was. We're asking for a little bit of shoreline setback and a little bit of side line setback. Are there any questions anyone would have for me? MR. TRAVER-And that variance was granted, right, by the ZBA? MR. MC CALL-Yes. MR. TRAVER-And as a result of your review with the ZBA were there any changes required at all with your plan? MR. MC CALL-No. MR. TRAVER-Okay. All right. Questions, comments from members of the Planning Board? MR. MAGOWAN-Did you state that there's a chance that the mechanical room might be a little smaller? Because you're not quite sure if you're going to be able to fit anything in there. MR. MC CALL-What I asked for is the maximum I will go. I mean, I would like it to be smaller so it would look better. So my plan is to make it as small as I possibly can. Once they determine what they want for heating and air conditioning. If we do a splitless duct system which we talked about the mechanical room would be a lot smaller. It's just, it's set up now where they wanted to do a forced air system, something like that. MR. TRAVER-So you're thinking about a heat pump? MR. MC CALL-Just a splitless duct system, you know, you get the heat and air out of the same unit. It's essentially a heat pump. MR. MAGOWAN-No, I just remember you mentioned it, but overall, and then I'm sure you'll be getting rid of the old BX cable and upgrading that before you cover the walls. MR. MC CALL-Yes. MR. TRAVER-Yes, this is the camp from like the 30's or something. Right? MR. MC CALL-Yes, 1934. MR. TRAVER-Amazing. MR. MC CALL-And it's like it was built in 1934. There's about three lights on each floor. MR. MAGOWAN-It's really nice building for being so old. They've maintained it well. MR. MC CALL-Yes. MR. TRAVER-Any other questions, comments from members of the Planning Board? There is a public hearing on this application. Again, I see there is no public in the audience.

MRS. MOORE-Okay. So the applicant proposes two main modifications totaling 573 sq. ft. One is 348 sq. ft. to include a covered parking area and entry area and the second is a 225 sq. ft. addition to the upper level on the westerly side of the project. The project includes a new roof area and an area that allows access to that. The other remaining alterations that we saw probably in April remain the same. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you. Good evening. MR. MAC ELROY-Good evening again. Dennis MacElroy with Environmental Design representing Magical Shore Acres, Anil Crasto is the owner, and as you may remember we were here in April for Site Plan Review for some modifications that he was planning to this structure. At that time, right at that time literally, Anil decided to change architects to the Phinney Design Group, Mike Phinney here tonight and Brennan Drake from Phinney are now involved with the project and I think with new architects comes new ideas. We're back to a slight change. I think the owner got together with Phinney and came up with a couple of modifications that made for a better project and I think certainly for the project in general. So when we discussed that with Craig he felt that it rose to the level that it probably should come back to the Board. So what it involves, and the primary addition or the thing that probably put us over the edge, if you look at Sheet P-3 in the packet, the architectural packet, which is the 11 by 17 size sheets. Missing yours, Brad? MR. MAGOWAN-Yes. MR. MAC ELROY-We actually have the draft here with us if you need it. Laura's put that up. MR. MAGOWAN-Sorry, I do have them. Sorry. MR. MAC ELROY-Between that view and the site plan you'll see that there's, on the right hand side of that drawing, and on the site plan, there's an additional office, how is it referred to? Sheet S-2, upper level addition 225 square feet. So that results in a new footprint and that's really what Craig felt was worthy of coming back to the Board. When we total everything up, because there's a reduction of the entry second garage, if you remember there's a little covered area or carport area for golf cart type vehicles, not a regular automobile, but that's been reduced in size so the net difference is that we've got 22 square feet more of overall floor area, excuse me, of footprint area, and about a decrease of 150 feet, square feet, in floor area. So I'm confusing the whole thing. Again, this house as you remember was having, hard to wrap your head around in the first place, but I will give a plug to Phinney in terms of their graphics may be a little easier to understand, the dimension and scale of the building and where, because the other one it was hard for me. MR. MAGOWAN-These guys are phenomenal. This is a much better perspective of kind of what's going to happen. It's kind of funny, I actually was down on Lockhart and for some reason I was, I had to go down to the lakefront with an adjuster and I went down the wrong driveway and I ended up in there, and it's, really this is quite a project. MR. MAC ELROY-So, again, the summary of it all is that it's a little bit of an addition of footprint and a decrease in floor area, but because of that addition of that office, again, that's what Craig felt requires us to come back and give you a shot at it. 17 (Queensbury Planning Board 08/22/2017) MR. TRAVER-Sure. Okay. Questions, comments from members of the Planning Board? MR. FERONE-Is this a private residence? MR. MAC ELROY-Yes. MR. FERONE-So it's not something that's being done for lease or rental or anything? MR. MAC ELROY-No. Anil has, you know, been looking for Lake George property for a number of years, and this one was available. I think it was, like everything else it's a matter of price and it had been on the market for a while and this finally came to a point where they decided this was the one they wanted to purchase. They come up here quite regularly during the summer. So it's strictly a single family residence. A little different than mine or yours probably. MR. DRAKE-The previous owner, Lionel, was an engineer, and still is, and a very brilliant guy. So the house is very unique from that standpoint and he and Anil have become pretty close friends and I think he found the right person to take over the legacy of the house. MR. MAGOWAN-Now you have a six foot wide UTV access path. MR. MAC ELROY-Right. That was part of the original plan, or the plan we were here with. Yes, UTV. I'm not sure, that came from, I thought it was an ATV, but I'm not sure, Utility. MR. MAGOWAN-It's a utility. So basically he parks in the garage. You get in the utility to drive down to park in the UTV garage. MR. PHINNEY-If he's got groceries or things like that, you know, if it's just him or a briefcase or a bag he'll probably just walk down the path, but it's really more of a loading/unloading area, if he had a bunch of groceries or a cooler. MR. MAGOWAN-1 mean, I just look at what he's putting into this house and what he's doing, and, I mean, that's a lot of furniture moving down the UTV path. MR. MAC ELROY-Yes. I know that from my experience with, my dealings with Anil is that that was one of the things that they were concerned about when they purchased the property, if you've been to the site. I mean it is a little challenging to get down, although I will put a plug in for Lionel. At age 93 or whatever, that's what kept him fit. MR. MAGOWAN-Kept him going, because it is down there, and I mean I drove up to the top and then you look down. MR. MAC ELROY-So that just made for a little easier path, and if, not that you would remember the story, but there were legitimate plans that we worked through to have a real vehicular access down to that entry and he ultimately decided it was just too much impact on the site. MR. TRAVER-Okay. This is a Type II SEAR, again, as the other applicants were. And there is also a public hearing on this application. I see there is no one in the audience tonight to comment to us in person, but are there any written comments, Laura? PUBLIC HEARING OPENED MRS. MOORE-No written comments. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Then we'll open the public hearing and close it as well. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED MR. TRAVER-Any additional questions, comments, concerns on this site plan modification from members of the Board? MS. WHITE-There's going to be very little, overall, very little change, I mean aesthetically it's going to be a huge change but as far as we're concerned, the impact is going to be small. I like that green space. MR. TRAVER-Yes, that's neat. Okay.
