convenience store. Applicant has,updated infonnation. Pursuant to Chapter 179-9-040 of the Zoning
Ordinance, discussion with the Planning Board may be requested by the applicant.
Staff"COMMORIts
The applicant has provided a revised site plan with the fuel canopy having additional setbacks—Route 9 at a 75
�ft setback and Route 149 with a 56.6 ft setback. The fuel canopy size was reduced from 22 ft X,1 to ft X
171 ft. T�he applicant has also provided additional traffic infonnation in regards to discussions with outside
agencies and NYS DOT.
Code sections for review are noted below:
Section 179-3-04Y Establishm-ent of zoning d
Commercial Intensive (Q. The CI Districts comprise that area of Queensbury that already has intense
commercial development. The purpose of this district is to provide for continuing infill development of this
type, while encouraging the overall improvement and appearance of these areas.
Section, 179-7-050 A.Desi districts,
(1) Route 9 North District: between Sweet Road and the Town"s border with the Town of Lake George.
Commercial variety best describes this section of Route 9. The southern end has large and small retail offerings,
interspersed with restaurants, convenience stores, gas stations, a fun park, an RV park, an outdoor drive-in,
theater. Amid this 'section is the Six Flags' The Great Escape. North of this theme park is the counts
municipal center and beyond that a cluster of outlet malls, intersected by Route 149, an important ruralroute to
Vermont, The North, Route 9 corridor, while an improvement over the lower section, still lacks, continuity and
sufficient greenery, especially within parking areas. It is,the community's desire to, insist on Adirondack-themed
designs with more creative parking design and landscaping, so that the building, parking, and landscaping
visually share space. For example, parking lot lighting should be antique4hemed similar to the existing
sidewalk pedestrian lighting. No one aspect of commercial developments located here should be dominant.
Locating track routes,, loading docks, and employee parking in the rear will allow opportunities for more
landscaping to the front and sides of the building. From Mont,ray Road to, Round Pond Road, low-impact
commercial development abuts a residential zone along Route 9's south side., Future development in this area
should,remain low-impact and transitional in effect.
(2) Route 9 North District.
(a) Timber-frame structures,with unique and ingenious natural expressions of materials,, creating a
Cottage/cabin feel that blends into the natural scenery.
h.) Meticulous craftsmanship and innovative use of materials are essential components.
(c)Natural finishes, large windows, use of natural exterior elements in the interior, great rooms, and massive
stone fireplaces are common elements of this Style,,
(d).May include the following.:
[II Steep roof pitches.
[21 Large roof overhangs.
(3) Naturally finished materials such as twig omamentation, notched logs andnatural bark, split spruce
branches,arranged insunburst and diamond patterns.
14] Exposed structure,post brackets, complex, naturalistic railing and baluster design, large windows, stone
chimney,s and building elements.
