Duly adopted by the following vote: Ayes - Mr. Beaty, Mr. Turner, Mx. Lampson and Mr. Webster. I Noes - None Mr. Codner, Superintendent of Highways , questioned the board as to the name which was approved by the board for Alexy Road. At the same time the Superintendent of Highways inquired as to any road signs , which the board finds are needed at present. The Supervisor, John 0. Webster presented the agreement on Special improvements for 1962, which has been approved by the County Highway Superintendent. Same has been checked by Mr. Codner and upon his request the approval was signed by members of the board. Two extensive extensions ref the subdivision for Westland. Develop- ment were accepted by the board. Maps were studied by the board with the understanding that substantial addition to the water systems will be made by the developer. The board. received a request for the forming of a Water District in this development. Ms. Codner, reported that the road known as Sanders Road, is not owned by the Town of Queensbury. The Superintendent suggested obtaining easements from the family of LeRoy Sanders , to allow - the town to maintain the road. The board suggested securing the approval of Mr.. Beswick, County Attorney.- Mx. Webster, reported on the proposeal sub-division Save- On- Plumbing beyond Austin Lane and Foster Avenue. A property owner has expressed willingness to offer land necessary to widen Austin Lane to the required width to make this sub- division possible. Mr. John S. Wyld, Regional Manager of the New York State Dep- artment of Commerce and an associate Mr. Richard Slocum were welcomed to the meeting at this time. + Mr. Wy1d, explained that in ereating a Planning Board and finally a Zoning Commission the Town of Queensbury would be making a sub- stantial step toward better town management. It is explained that the Town Board has complete control over the proposed Planning Board at all times. When plans are formulated, it is done only at the request of the board. The Planning :hoard is only advisory in nature. IMr. Wyld, suggests that the Planning Board would be able to protect -the construction ate-all approaches of newly constructed roads of the type of the Northway. Protected industrial zoning is also a another important duty of a Planning Board.. To sum up the overall duties of the board, it is expected that planning= for the future will be the main objective. - + t Mr.. Slocum, explained that the duties of the Planning Board could be handled by the-Town Board. By-creating the board this work would relieve the Town Board of the detail involved. The Planning Board would make an inventory of the possibilities within the the town, also study areas for each type of Roads and water systems should be studied with long range future development in mind. The Town Board may appoint 5 or 7 members to this proposed Planning Board, who will serve without compensation. The terms of these members should over-lap so that all will not go out of office at same time. - It is suggested that the Town Board should establish a master plan for the Planning Board to make use of. The Town of Queensburys problem at present is rapid development. Urban Planning could 'be accomplished with the bulk of the cost to be borne by the Federal Government. t When in operation the Planning Board cannot expend money or hire help without the approval of the Town Board. In creating subdivisions it is explained that any subdivision must be approved by the Planning Board. This board can force a developer to furnish bond to insure positive completion`of all roads in a development. Mr. Slocum, suggested that the board should contact persons who could be appointed to such a board. His office would appear and explain the mechanics of the operation of a-Planning Board. When the board has been created a consultant could be hired for a mini- mum cost to the town under Urban Planning Assistance by the Fed. eral Government. An important warning was explained to do with discouraging "Spotty" developments. It is suggested that concentration should be had on sections where proper school service and water systems are available. The Planning Board could be of tremendous help to school boards by looking ahead to areas where schools may be needed. Decision on these matters would be made by the school board. Mr. Webster questioned if it is possible to zone sections if the town where the need is of the greatest nature prior to completing and over all.. survey. Mr. Slocum, stated that if a Planning Board is started., the speed of arriving at results could be arrived at sooner_ than might be expected. The Town Board can enact the proposed Planning Board by resolution. - Following--the precaeeding informative interviews , Mr. Wyld and Mr. Slocum were extended the thanks of the Town Board for the suggestions which will ultimately result in action by the board to create this commission. Mr. George Liapes , reported that the motor which was damaged on the pump during the recent water service interruption. He stated that Mr. Rooke,: the engineer for the Imperial Wall Paper Co. , has offered to service the motor by baking out the water damage.. Mr. Edward Howard,,.
