Conversion of deck to porch, and lakeside ramp/walkway
66 Reardon Road (on Glen Lake)
Town of Queensbury
JE 18-013
Dear Chairmen Traver and Freer, plus Board Members,
Subsequent to the area variance and site plan approvals by each board, the conversion of the
deck to porch uncovered structural problems with the existing house. Upon removing the
exterior siding and interior finishes, the structural framing, which had been modified at least
twice before, was not in good enough condition to allow the required modifications to raise the
existing bedroom roof as well as accommodate the porch. The deficiencies found include:
Walls out of plumb and square
2 x 4 wall framing, out of alignment and of varying dimensions
Lack of structural headers over the existing window and door, as required by code
Wall thickness varies such that adding insulation is impractical
Wall stud alignment not conducive to support of roof rafters
The net result of the above noted deficiencies is that the existing walls of the existing bedroom
adjacent to the porch should be reframed to meet structural and energy codes. Our re-visit to
each board is intended to gain approval for that re-framing. No dimensional changes to the
structure are proposed, ie: the setbacks to the lake and property line will remain the same, and
the exterior look of the structure will remain as approved by each board. This request is
perfunctory since no changes are proposed to the site plan, however, re-framing of the existing
tie-in wall was not sought during the original approval.
If you have any questions, feel free to call our office at 518-792-2907, or email me directly at

A.
The proposed project complies with all other requirements of this Chapter, including the site plan review standards as set forth in Paragraph
B.
F of this section, the dimensional, bulk and density regulations of the zoning district in which it is proposed to be located(Article 3 and
Table 1), the applicable requirements ofall other Articles that apply.
The site plan encourages pedestrian activity internally and, if practicable, to and from the site with pedestrian paths or sidewalks connected
C.
to adjacent areas.
The site plan must conform to Chapter 136 Sewage and Sewage Disposal, Chapter 147 Stormwater Management Local Law, and other
D.
applicable local laws.
The proposed use shall be in harmony with the general purpose or intent of this Chapter, specifically taking into account thelocation,
E.
character and size of the proposed use and the description and purpose of the district in which such use is proposed, the nature and intensity
of the activities to be involved in or conducted in connection with the proposed use and the nature and rate of any increase in the burden on
supporting public services and facilities which will follow the approval of the proposed use.
The establishment, maintenance and operation of the proposed use will not create public hazards from traffic, traffic congestion or the
F.
parking of vehicles and/or equipment or be otherwise detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in

space resources of the town or the Adirondack Park or upon the adequate provision of supporting facilities and services made necessary by
the project, taking into account the commercial, industrial, residential, recreational or other benefits that might be derived from the project.
In making the determination hereunder, the Planning Board shall consider those factors pertinent to the project contained in the
development considerations set forth herein under § 179-9-080 of this Chapter, and in so doing, the Planning Board shall make a net overall
evaluation of the project in relation to the development objectives and general guidelines set forth in § 179-9-080 of this Article.
The provision for and arrangement of pedestrian traffic access and circulation, walkway structures, control of intersections with vehicular
I.
traffic and overall pedestrian convenience shall be safe and adequate for pedestrian movement. Pedestrian connections between adjacent
sites shall be provided to encourage pedestrian use.
Stormwaterdrainage facilities will prevent an increase of post development drainage flows as compared to pre-development drainage flows.
J.
Drainage of the site shall recharge ground water to the extent practical. Surface waters flowing off-site shall not degrade any streams or
adversely affect drainage on adjacent properties or public roads. Facilities shall be in conformance with the drainage standards of Chapter
147 of the Town Code and the Town of Queensbury Subdivision Regulations where applicable.
The water supply and sewage disposal facilities will be adequate and will meet all applicable and current requirements set forth by
K.
Department of Health regulations and Chapter 136 of the Town Code.
The adequacy, type and arrangement of trees, shrubs and othersuitable plantings, landscaping and screening shall effectively provide a
L.
visual and/or noise buffer between the applicants and adjoining lands, including the maximum retention of existing vegetationand
maintenance, including replacement of dead or deceased plants.
Fire lanes, emergency zones and fire hydrants will be adequate and meet the needs and requirements of emergency service providers.
M.
The design of structures, roadways and landscaping in areas susceptible to ponding, flooding and/or erosion will minimize or avoid such
N.
impacts to the maximum extent practicable.
The site plan conforms to the design standards, landscaping standards and performance standards of this chapter.

Re: Buchanan, Reardon Road on Glen Lake
§ 179-9-080 Requirements for Site Plan Approval. The Planning Board shall not
approve a Site Plan unless it first determines that such site plan meets the following
Standards. Please prepare responses to each of the following topics:
Standards
A.The proposed project furthers or is consistent with the policies of the Town’s
Comprehensive Plan.
Modifications to the existing residence and site are necessary to accommodate
aging owners.
B.The proposed project complies with all other requirements of this Chapter,
including the site plan review standards as set forth in Paragraph F of this
section, the dimensional, bulk, and density regulations of the zoning district in
which it is proposed to be located (Article 3 and Table 1), the applicable
requirements of all other Articles that apply.
The existing site is non-compliant because the house and existing wheelchair
ramp are located closer to Glen Lake than allowed by current zoning. The
residence pre-dates current waterfront residential requirements, and is
consistent with many/most other residences along the lake. The proposed
project would: 1) convert an existing deck to an enclosed screen porch, no
closer to the lake, and, 2) would upgrade and extend an existing wheelchair
ramp for access to the waterfront, albeit closer to the lake. Both aspects of the
project require zoning variances.
C.The site plan encourages pedestrian activity internally and, if practicable, to
and from the site with pedestrian paths or sidewalks connected to adjacent
areas.
Pedestrian pathways on the site would be extended toward the waterfront to
make access more efficient.
D.The site plan must conform to Chapter 136 Sewer and Sewage Disposal,
Chapter 147 Stormwater Management Local Lay, and other applicable local
laws.
A new wastewater system is planned by the Buchanan’s, to be developed
concurrently with the overall site improvements.
The existing deck is planned to be converted to a screened porch, and
although technically the conversion is from a permeable deck (stormwater
perspective) to an impermeable roof, in reality there will only be a small
increase in runoff. Runoff from the covered porch roof will be retained in the
landscaped buffers between the house and lake.
E.The proposed use shall be in harmony with the general purpose or intent of
this Chapter, specifically taking into account the location, character and size
of the proposed use and the description and purpose of the district in which
such use is proposed, the nature and intensity of the activities to be involved
in or conducted in connection with the proposed use and the nature and rate
Page 1 of 3

Re: Buchanan, Reardon Road on Glen Lake
of any increase in the burden on supporting public services and facilities
which will follow the approval of the proposed use.
No changes to the character of the neighborhood, and no impacts on
supporting services are expected; the project is also in keeping with
Queensbury goals.
F.The establishment, maintenance and operation of the proposed use will not
create public hazards from traffic, traffic congestion or the parking of vehicles
and/or equipment or be otherwise detrimental to the health, safety or general
welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood or to the general
welfare of the town. Traffic access and circulation, road intersections, road
and driveway widths, and traffic controls will be adequate.
No changes to vehicular traffic flow or parking are proposed.
G.Off-street parking and loading facilities will be appropriately located and
arranged and sufficient to meet traffic anticipated to be generated by the new
use. The establishment of vehicle links between parking areas of adjacent
properties are provided where feasible. This furthers the Town’s goal of
reducing curb cuts and reducing congestion. A twenty-foot wide connection
is required. If adjacent properties area either undeveloped or previously
developed without having made provision for future linking, then a future
connection must be identified and provided for in the site plan under review
for such future linking when the time arises. The Planning Board may require
proof that the applicant has made contact with adjacent property owners for
purposes of coordinating linkages with adjacent properties.
No changes to vehicular traffic flow or parking are proposed.
H.The project shall not have an undue adverse impact upon the natural, scenic,
aesthetic, ecological, wildlife, historic, recreational or open space resources
of the town or the Adirondack Park or upon the adequate provision of
supporting facilities and service made necessary by the project, taking into
account the commercial, industrial, residential, recreational or other benefits
that might be derived from the project. In making the determination
hereunder, the Planning Board shall consider those factors pertinent to the
project contained in the development considerations set forth herein under §
179-9-080 of this chapter, and in so doing, the Planning Board shall made a
net overall evaluation of the project in relation to the development objectives
and general guidelines set forth in § 179-9-080 of this Article.
The screened porch will blend well with the existing residence, and further,
the entire site will have little impact on the character of the neighborhood and
the Town in general.
I.The provisions for and arrangement of pedestrian traffic access and
circulation, walkway structures, control of intersections with vehicular traffic
and overall pedestrian convenience shall be safe and adequate for pedestrian
movement. Pedestrian connections between adjacent sites shall be provided
to encourage pedestrian use.

Re: Buchanan, Reardon Road on Glen Lake
No changes to vehicular traffic flow or parking are proposed, and this project
will increase the efficiency of pedestrian access on the property.
J.Stormwater drainage facilities will prevent an increase of post development
drainage flows as compared to pre-development drainage flows. Drainage of
the site shall recharge ground water to the extent practical. Surface waters
flowing off-site shall not degrade any streams or adversely affect drainage on
adjacent properties or public roads. Facilities shall be in conformance with
the drainage standards of Chapter 147 of the Town Code and the Town of
Queensbury Subdivision Regulations where applicable.

L.The adequacy, type and arrangement of trees, shrubs and other suitable
plantings, landscaping and screening shall effectively provide a visual and/or
noise buffer between the applicants and adjoining lands, including the
maximum retention of existing vegetation and maintenance, including
replacement of dead or deceased plants.
The Buchanan property is extremely well landscaped with ground covers, and
other perennials, plus woody shrubs and trees (see photos). Further, the
current landscaped buffer strip along the lake will be widened.
M.Fire lanes, emergency zones and fire hydrants will be adequate and meet the
needs and requirements of emergency service providers.
No changes affecting emergency access are proposed.
N.The design of structures, roadways and landscaping in areas susceptible to
ponding, flooding and/or erosion will minimize or avoid such impacts to the
maximum extent practicable.
No changes to the site are proposed that should impact the potential for
flooding.
O.The site plan conforms to the design standards, landscaping standards and
performance standards in this chapter.
We believe so.
