HAMMOND ROBERTSON HON. THEODORE TURNER HON. HAROLD ROBILLARD HON. LLOYD DEMBOSKI Members of the Town Board of the Town of I Queensbury, j County of Warren and State of New York. The petition of Cleo Rogers respectfully shows: 1. The undersigned resides at 374 Ridge Road in the Town of Queensbury, County of Warren and State of New York. 2. The undersigned is the owner of real property lo- cated in the Town of Queensbury, County of Warren and State of New York. 3. The undersigned hereby petitions and requests a change of zoning under the zoning ordinances of the Town of Queensbury, Warren County, New York, with respects to premises hereinafter described, from an R-4 District to an R-5 District for the purpose of erecting and constructing garden apartments. 4. That it is the intention to construct said garden apartments on the following described premises: Being about 20 acres of vacant land located on the east side of Meadowbrook Road and on the south side of Cronin Road in the Town of Queensbury, Warren County, New York. Submitted herewith and made a part of this petition is a map setting forth the exact description of the premises herein. 5. That your petitioner is the owner of a 42 acre tract of land, which tract includes the proposed site of the gar- den apartments. A portion of said tract or 22 acres are to be excluded from rezoning or reclassification and are to be reserved and used as a"buffer zone" between the proposed garden apartments and any residential areas to the . south of the proposed site. Your petitioner intends to erect on said 22 acres tract, single dwelling homes. 6. That the premises or proposed site are presently zoned as a R-4 District. The surrounding character of said pre- mises is as follows: The area immediately to the west is zoned as C-3; the area immediately to the south is zoned as M-1; the area immediately to the north is zoned as R-5 and the area located immediately to the east is zoned as R-3, which abuts on a tract zoned as M-1. Your petitioner contends and submits that the erection and construction of garden apartments on this site is cnnsistent with the character of the adjoining premises and zoning districts and would not in any way effect the character of the area in question. 7. Your Petitioner further submits and contends that the erection and construction of garden apartments at the proposed site would be advantageous to the Town of Queensbury, Warren County, New York, for the following reasons: (1) Garden apartments would enhance the general character of the entire area. _4 Gi 8 (2) The proposed site is naturally conducive for the erection of garden apartments. (3) Increased real property taxes. (4) Creation of facilities (garden apartments) now totally lacking in the Town of Queensbury. (5) The proposed site is advantageously located near shopping centers, churches, schools, colleges, golf courses, industrial parks, major routes and highways and located on the present school bus routes. 8. The proposed garden apartments will consist of in excess of 150 units. The units will be composed of 1 and 2 bed- room units with living space of approximately 1000 square feet. Each unit will have complete kitchens composed of dishwashers, garbage disposals and exhaust systems. All units will be carpeted. Parking facilities to accomodate 255 cars will be erected on said premises and will eliminate any traffic congestion and on-street parking. Adequate recreational facilities in the nature of a swimming pool and playgrounds will be erected on said premises. A complete sewage, disposal and treatment system will be erected on said premises and will conform to the requirements of all local and state agencies and regulations. Present approval has been obtained from the New York State Department of Health. The said sewage, disposal and treatment system will also accomodate homes to be erected in the buffer area immediately south of the proposed site. 9. Your petitioner further intends to convey and turn over to the Town of Queensbury, New York, the sewage, disposal and treatment system after completion of the proposed site. 10. That the anticipated cost of the entire project will be Two Million Dollars. 11. That your petitioner further states that prior to the zoning ordinances of the Town of Queensbury, much preparation and planning. had been done to prepare said premises for the erec- tion of garden apartments. That much of the planning and pre- paration was by the late Tom Rogers, husband of the petitioner. That several maps had been drawn setting forth proposed site, specifications and proposed construction. Test borings have been performed. The site has been partially bulldozed and graded. 12. That the foregoing was brought to the attention of the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury and said proposal was warmly received. That upon the death of the late Tom Rogers and the passage of the zoning ordinances of the Town of Queensbury, your petitioner thereafter made application for a special use and/ or variance to use said premises for the erection and construction of garden apartments to the zoning board of Appeals of the Town of Queensbury. That the Zoning Board of Appeals, pursuant to its discretion and authority, referred the entire proposal to the Planning Board of the Town of Queensbury. That the Planning Board v refused to take action pending a legal opinion on the zoning board's jurisdiction in the matter of granting use variances. That upon information and belief, no legal opinion was received by the Planning Board or the Zoning Board of Appeals. The Zoning Board of Appeals thereupon recommended to the petitioner that she �T make application to the Town Board for a change in zoning. 4�4 WHEREFORE, your petitioner respectfully prays that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury, New York, amend and/or change its zoning ordinances to effect a change of the proposed premises hereinbefore described from an R-4 District to an R-5 district for the purpose of erecting garden apartments and for such other and further relief as to the Town Board may seem just and proper.
