I was with Ethan today when we went out to the site to visit. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Some of us were there at the site visit. You did a good job explaining. It is a very small lot. It is very confined corridors. There really isn’t a plan B for this piece of property. MS. PELTON-No. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Is there anything you wish to add to anything I have said? MS. PELTON-No. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Is there any questions from the Town Board? Are there any members of the public that wish to speak to this resolution tonight? PUBLIC HEARING OPENED NO COMMENT PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED RESOLUTION APPROVING OGDEN FAMILY IRREVOCABLE TRUST’S APPLICATION FOR SANITARY SEWAGE DISPOSAL VARIANCE RESOLUTION NO.:BOH 18, 2019 INTRODUCED BY: Mr. George Ferone WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION SECONDED BY: Mrs. Catherine Atherden WHEREAS, the Ogden Family Irrevocable Trust (Applicant) filed an application for variances from provisions of the Town of Queensbury On-Site Sewage Disposal Ordinance Chapter 136, §136-11, which requires applicants to obtain a variance for holding tanks as the Applicant wishes to install three (3) new 1,500 gallon septic holding tanks for a total of 4,500 gallons of capacity in lieu of a sewage disposal system for a seasonal camp building on property located at 2 Hall Road Extension in the Town of Queensbury, and WHEREAS, the Town Clerk’s Office published the Notice of Public Hearing in the Town’s official newspaper and the Local Board of Health duly conducted a public hearing concerning the st variance request on Monday, April 1, 2019, and WHEREAS, the Town Clerk’s Office has advised that it duly notified all property owners within 500 feet of the subject property, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that 1. due to the nature of the variance, the Local Board of Health determines that the variance would not be materially detrimental to the purposes and objectives of this Ordinance or other adjoining properties nor otherwise conflict with the purpose and objectives of any Town plan or policy; and REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 04-01-2019, MTG#10 577 2. the Local Board of Health finds that the granting of the variance is necessary for the reasonable use of the land and is the minimum variance which would alleviate the specific unnecessary hardship found by the Local Board of Health to affect the Applicant; and BE IT FURTHER, RESOLVED, that the Local Board of Health hereby approves the application of the Ogden Family Irrevocable Trust for a variance from the Sewage Disposal Ordinance to install three (3) new 1,500 gallon septic holding tanks for a total of 4,500 gallons of capacity in lieu of a sewage disposal system for a seasonal camp building on property located at 2 Hall Road Extension in the Town of Queensbury and bearing Tax Map No: 289.11-1-21. st Duly adopted this 1 day of April, 2019, by the following vote: AYES : Mrs. Atherden, Mr. Ferone, Mrs. Switzer, Mr. Strough NOES : None ABSENT: Mr. Metivier PUBLIC HEARING- JOE MONAHAN’S APPLICATION FOR SANITARY SEWAGE DISPOSAL VARIANCE PUBLICATION DATE: MARCH 22, 2019 AGENT ERIC MURDOCK, PE SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Eric, please identify yourself for the record. Is there anything you would like to add? ERIC MURDOCK-I am with Onsite Engineering. I would like to say that due to the small size of the site and proximity to the property lines and such we decided to recommend this installation of this enhanced treatment unit to pretreat the water. The dispersal area is limited in size because of the small size of the site. We decided to recommend this bottomless sand filter. We are using time equalize dosing to balance out the peak flows. We really feel that we have done the best job that we can in treating and dispersing the water at this very small site. This is to replace a cesspool. It is much improvement to the property. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Thank you. Any questions from the Board? Is there any member of the public that wishes to speak to this? Please have a seat. State your name. Ask your questions. I will try to get answer for you. KIMBERLY CHAMBERLIN-I live close to the site. I am familiar to the site. It is very constrained. My question is, how many gallons is the actual tank? SUPERVISOR STROUGH-For the holding. For the forty fifty? MS. CHAMBERLIN-Yes. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-I will find that out for you. Any other questions? MS. CHAMBERLIN-I was told today it was five hundred. I just want to compare that with the one that just got approved just before this. How many gallons was that one. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-He is installing a seven fifty gallon pump tank according to one of the details Councilman Ferone is showing me. MS. CHAMBERLIN-I am all in favor of improving what it is. My question is the design of it. REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 04-01-2019, MTG#10 578 SUPERVISOR STROUGH-I will get more details on that for you when I ask Eric to return. MS. CHAMBERLIN-Okay. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-I will have him give us more details about the gallons and things like that. MS. CHAMBERLIN-Perfect. I just want to verify the gallons of the previous one that was just approved. COUNCILWOMAN ATHERDEN-Forty five hundred. MS. CHAMBERLIN-Forty five hundred, okay. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-But, those were holding tanks. It was a different system. Anybody else? Please come forward and state your name for the record. JOHN LAROCCA, 4 FIELDING PLACE-I think as Kimberly said we are all in favor of this. There is no question about it. My concern is I would like to know where this well is. I have been living there fifteen years. There are no wells anywhere close. We all draw water from the lake. I think this potentially could be a problem moving forward. Someone could put an application in for something and there was this…well. They are looking for a variance for a well. Do you know where the well is? SUPERVISOR STROUGH-He does show it on the prints. It would be better for him to come up and explain it, that it his job. MR. LAROCCA-Okay. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-I will ask him and we will try to get a satisfactory answer. MR. LAROCCA-Thank you. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Any other member of the public wish to come forward and speak to this septic variance application? MR. LAROCCA-This holding tank, the location of it. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-It is not a holding tank. MR. LAROCCA-I’m sorry. The leach field. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-It has a pumping tank and it has a Fusion 450. The Fusion 450 pretreats it. I will have Eric explain this to you. He will tell you the gallons and how it pretreats this. We have run into these systems before. This pretreatment is top of the line septic system. MR. LAROCCA-I am honestly not concerned about that, more for their parking. I was told you can’t park on that. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-You can’t park on these. There is no intent to park on these. This is going under their deck. MR. LAROCCA-Under the deck that’s fine. I had heard that there was going to be something in an area where they park their cars on it. I would be concerned for them that they would not have any parking. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-No we don’t want any more cars stuck. MR. LAROCCA-That is it, I promise. Thank you. REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 04-01-2019, MTG#10 579 SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Is there any other questions from the public on this septic variance application? Seeing none, Eric would you please come forward? Eric would you explain the gallons and what is going on here with that? MR. MURDOCK-Good question. It is very confusing. There is a volume that you typically have in a septic tank. When you get into these enhanced treatment units they are not described by the volume of the tank. They are described by the daily flow that they can treat. This Fusion is actually, it is rated to treat four hundred and fifty gallons per day, which would be sufficient to treat the wastewater from a four bedroom home. This being a three bedroom home it is well suited for this application. It has been sized appropriately. This tank is roughly a thousand gallons, but it is rated to treat up to four fifty. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-The proximity of the well. MR. MURDOCK-The drawings do not actually show a drinking water well. I was unaware that there was a well. When I submitted the application for the variance, I didn’t include a request for a variance for a drinking water well. We didn’t believe that was the case. It was news to me. I thought someone from the Town knew something I didn’t. That is why I went out there early today to really canvas the area in search of that. I do believe that and it was discussed earlier this dwelling as well as many in the area pull the water from the lake. As far as I am aware, there is no drinking water supply wells within a hundred feet of this septic system. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-That is what the neighbors said. They didn’t know of any either. In any event, should there be a well that is eighty-nine feet from here this Board will consider that in their deliberation. Kimberly and John does that answer… MR. LAROCCA-I am fine with that. I am just concerned if there is no drinking water well or any other type of well anywhere there. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-You are not parking on this. It is going under the deck under the back. There is no parking anywhere near this. So those concerns have been addressed. Any further questions from the Board? COUNCILWOMAN ATHERDEN-How does that get rectified then the fact that there is no well. COUNCILMAN FERONE-That was my question. I was going to ask legal counsel for that. ATTORNEY SCHACHNER-I was before any motion was made I was going to ask. I don’t know where that came from. I haven’t the faintest idea where it came from. If there is no well then I don’t think the Board should consider granting a variance for a leaching system to be eighty-nine feet from the well. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-I wonder if Dave Hatin knows of the existence of a well. If we didn’t address the variance then they would have to come back. My thinking is if we give the variance from the well should there turn out to be a well where Dave Hatin thinks there is one it is already covered. ATTORNEY SCHACHNER-The Board would be adopting a Resolution that somewhere, somehow, sometime, somebody could look at it and say, apparently there is a well here because the Queensbury st Town Board acting as the Local Board of Health on April 1, 2019 adopted a Resolution referring to the well. I was about to look at the map, but I don’t remember seeing the well on the map. If the applicants says, there is no well. The applicant’s Agent says there is no well. Several neighbors have commented. There is no well-being depicted on the map am I right about that? SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Yes. ATTORNEY SCHACHNER-So there is no well depicted on maps. As Town Counsel, we would not endorse or support the Town Board adopting a Resolution that says in these words. Leaching system to be eighty-nine from well. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-What does the Board think? We ought to remove that first one and we will just give a variance for the location to be five feet from the dwelling. REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 04-01-2019, MTG#10 580 COUNCILWOMAN ATHERDEN-Yes. If it happens to have a well, if Dave Hatin thinks it, does they would have to come back? COUNCILMAN FERONE-I was going to say, we would be better off just pushing this to the next Board Meeting so that we can question Dave. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-He has the stuff right there on the site right now. COUNCILWOMAN ATHERDEN-He is ready now. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-It is on the trailer. COUNCILMAN FERONE-Right, right. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-I think you want to get it done. COUNCILMAN FERONE-So two weeks would be a hardship? MR. MURDOCK-We are anxious. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Are you comfortable with us then just taking out the first variance as there doesn’t appear to be a well? MR. MURDOCK-I did not ask for that variance. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Is that all right with the Board then? COUNCILMAN FERONE-Okay. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-So removing the first variance. Leaching field to be eighty-nine feet from the well in lieu of the one hundred foot setback is removed. We have one variance, which is the dispersal location to be five foot from the dwelling in lieu of the required twenty-foot setback.

FROM MODERATE DENSITY RESIDENTIAL (MDR) TO RURAL RESIDENTIAL FIVE ACRES (RR-5) PUBLICATION DATE: JANUARY 14, 2019 PRESENT ATTORNEY JON LAPPER AND H. JOHN MARCELLE SUPERVISOR STROUGH-I would like to read an email that came in. Dear Ms. Barber – Janice and I are in Arkansas this evening and unable to attend the public hearing on the Kubricky property. We would greatly appreciate it if you could read the following email into the records during this public hearing. Thank you. To The Town Board and Attorney of Queensbury We would like to take the opportunity to express our appreciation for the time and effort you put into the conditions written into the resolution for the rezoning of the Kubricky parcel. When Fort Miller files its written consent to these conditions it will represent the first time since 2014 that the public can feel the Town Board has listened to its concerns as well as the first time Fort Miller has been willing to assure its verbal guarantees in writing. We are looking forward to the successful completion of this project. Sincerely, Janice and Andrew Holding The public hearing is still open. Is there any member of the public that wishes to speak to this enactment to amend our zoning to change the zoning of property owned by Kubricky John and Sons from Moderate Density Residential MDR to Rural Residential five acre RR5. ATTORNEY CLAUDIA BRAYMER, REPRESENTING THE HOLDINGS-As you read tonight they are not able to attend, but I wanted to come as well and just thank the Board on their behalf for your due diligence and taking your time to carefully put this all in writing so that we could see it in advance. I really appreciate that myself as well. The only question I have is to ask if the applicant was able to reach out to Kubricky and make sure that, they were going to agree to the consent that was still kind of up in the air. That is my only question and I am sure that will be addressed tonight. Thank you. REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 04-01-2019, MTG#10 585 SUPERVISOR STROUGH-I will ask. Any other member of the public wish to speak to this? KATHY MONROE, REDHOUSE LANE-I just had a thought about emergency use for the road. I don’t know if that needs to be clarified what counts as an emergency. Obviously, a human life that is not negotiable that is an emergency. If something happens, they cannot use the new road, and they have to use Dream Lake Road temporarily for mining trucks that could be an issue if residents see trucks coming down Dream Lake Road. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-I will ask around, see what we can dig up here so it is not abused. MS. MONROE-Right. I am just saying if we say it is just for emergencies, but you see a truck come down something happened to the road they could not use it. There will be calls probably to Queensbury that they are using the road. Just a thought I had about that. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Okay. We will try to accommodate you and get some kind of answer for you. Is there anybody else like to speak to this? Will the agent for the applicant and the applicant, too you are welcome to come up if you want. John I have two questions from the audience. One is have you talked to Kubricky in reference to getting his property rezoned and you people gaining some kind of control over it so that you can build their road on it. ATTORNEY LAPPER-We already had control because we have a lease agreement and they signed the application when the process started. We do have their written consent to submit I will give it to Counsel. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Thank you John. The other question is emergency. ATTORNEY LAPPER-It is hard to pin down what could be an emergency. A fire, an accident something that blocks the road and creates a dangerous situation, a worker gets hurt. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Is that one of those I cannot define it, but I know it when I see it? ATTORNEY LAPPER-An emergency is an emergency. We are not trying to get away with anything. Everything that is a condition was always proposed by the applicant. It is all in writing as it should be. All along, the applicant came to you and said, even though this has been there for seventy years, they want to propose to spend hundreds of thousands to put in a new road, which is not something that usually happens. The people that bought their homes on Dream Lake Road bought on the only access road to a sand and gravel pit that had been there way before most of them. The applicant came to you and said we have a better plan to go out onto Ridge Road. We will take the traffic away from the residential neighbors. Still there were people that were concerned, which is hard to understand. We have been saying the same thing all along. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-If they abuse the conditions, an emergency, there is a reasonable person standard I believe involved here for emergencies. If we felt that the applicant was abusing it as some point, in the future we would have the ability to evoke some kind of action. ATTORNEY SCHACHNER-No question. I don’t think it is susceptible to precise definition. I think generally speaking an emergency is something that requires access by emergency service personnel. There are licensed certified emergency service personnel. If somebody is having a heart attack and somebody who is not an emergency service personnel tried to save them by driving a car down the road our advice to the Town Board if we seek to enforce what you perceive to be a violation of the condition is that would not be an appropriate exercise of your enforcement discretion. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-If it was abused, we would have enforcement… ATTORNEY SCHACHNER-Absolutely. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Tools to use. ATTORNEY SCHACHNER-As potential violation of a condition of approval. ATTORNEY LAPPER-We agree with that. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-All right. Any questions from Town Board members? COUNCILMAN FERONE-No. REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 04-01-2019, MTG#10 586 SUPERVSOR STROUGH-Any last minute questions from the public?

MR. MACELROY-We have both been involved with this process through the planning process. The original design of the wastewater service for this project, which is the self-storage an area of low volume of wastewater use. This is located on the east side of Bay Road near the Duke Drive facility into Duke Concrete. As we got into construction O’Connor Construction are the site contractors for this project. They had prepared an estimate for the cost of making that connection. Again, it is a simple office building in one of the storage buildings. The cost of it did not seem to make sense in terms of what the volume of flow was or the expenditure required to make that connection. We inquired with Chris Harrington as to what the process would be to get a waiver from that. He explained that to us. We understand. The property being part of the district can seek a waiver, but still will be subject to all the different levies that would be imposed to a user. The owner is certainly REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 04-01-2019, MTG#10 590 aware of that. The capital cost of making that connection in the first place is about two hundred and sixteen feet from the site to the gravity sewer main, which is on the westerly side of Bay Road. You would have to cross under Bay to get that directional drilling that would be involved. There is also a high volume force main that you would be crossing under to get to the gravity main. The gravity main it is my understanding from Chris is subject to groundwater conditions. This just adds to the difficulty in the cost of the construction. A long story short it made more sense to seek the waiver. To put a simple onsite system on the property. A septic tank and a single lateral to serve the wastewater needs. The office space, which I cannot imagine will even amount to a hundred gallons a day. This is where we stand. Chris was in total support of going through that process. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-It is just a self-storage. MR. MACELROY-Right. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-It does not generate a lot of waste. For you to connect to the waste line going there because you are on the wastewater district. It would include very expensive directional drilling or tearing up the road. Neither one is good for something that is going to produce a rather minimal amount of wastewater. You are paying everything that everyone else pays in the district. You are not getting a break there. The only thing we are talking about here is basically getting a break from the cost of connecting to the lines. Mike is there anything you would like to add. ATTORNEY O’CONNOR-No. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Questions from the Board? Any questions from the public? RESOLUTION APPROVING BAY ROAD SELF STORAGE, LLC’S APPLICATION FOR VARIANCE/WAIVER REQUEST FROM SANITARY SEWER CONNECTION REQUIREMENT SET FORTH IN TOWN CODE CHAPTER 136 – SEWERS AND SEWAGE DISPOSAL RESOLUTION NO.: 105, 2019 INTRODUCED BY: Mr. George Ferone WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION SECONDED BY: Mrs. Catherine Atherden WHEREAS, the Queensbury Town Board is authorized by Town Code Chapter 136 to issue variances from §136-44 “Connection to sewers required” which requires Town property owners situated within a sewer district and located within 250’ of a public sanitary sewer of the sewer district to connect to the public sewer facilities within one (1) year from the date of notice, and WHEREAS, Bay Road Self Storage, LLC (Applicant) applied to the Town Board for a variance/waiver from Town Code §136-44.1 for an exemption from the Town’s connection requirements to connect its property located on Bay Road, adjacent to Duke Industrial Park Road, Queensbury to the Queensbury Consolidated Sanitary Sewer District, with the understanding that any waiver approval would be based on the self-storage use and redevelopment of the property with a different use would negate the waiver, as set forth in its February 27, 2019 application, and WHEREAS, the Town Clerk’s Office mailed a Notice of Hearing to the Applicant and the st Town Board conducted a hearing concerning the variance/waiver request on Monday, April 1, 2019, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 04-01-2019, MTG#10 591 RESOLVED, that a) due to the nature of the variance/waiver request, the Queensbury Town Board determines that the granting of the variance/waiver would not be materially detrimental to the purposes and objectives of Queensbury Town Code Chapter 136 and/or adjoining properties or otherwise conflict with the purpose and objectives of any plan or policy of the Town of Queensbury; and b) the Town Board finds that the granting of the variance/waiver is reasonable and would alleviate unnecessary hardship on Bay Road Self Storage, LLC; and BE IT FURTHER, RESOLVED, that the Queensbury Town Board hereby approves Bay Road Self Storage, LLC (Applicant)’s application for a variance/waiver from Queensbury Town Code Chapter 136, §136-44 “Connection to sewers required” and hereby grants Applicant an exemption from the requirement to connect its property located on Bay Road, adjacent to Duke Industrial Park Road, Queensbury (Tax Map No.: 302.8-2-23) to the Town of Queensbury’s Queensbury Consolidated Sanitary Sewer District, and in the meantime, if there is any change in property use, increase in septic use or additional bathroom facilities added, then such variance shall immediately terminate unless the Queensbury Town Board reviews and approves a new application for a variance/waiver, and furthermore, if the septic system has been determined to fail or is modified by the Applicant, or if ownership of the property is transferred, then the variance is terminated as well and the property must connect to the Queensbury Consolidated Sanitary Sewer District, and BE IT FURTHER, RESOLVED, that Applicant shall pay all charges due as if its property was connected to the Queensbury Consolidated Sanitary Sewer District, and BE IT FURTHER, RESOLVED, that the variance/waiver’s requirement to pay sewer rents shall commence upon the installation of the water meter, and BE IT FURTHER, RESOLVED, that the Town Board authorizes the Town Supervisor, Wastewater Director and/or Town Budget Officer to take any actions necessary to effectuate the terms of this Resolution. st Duly adopted this 1 day of April, 2019 by the following vote: AYES : Mr. Ferone, Mrs. Switzer, Mr. Strough, Mrs. Atherden NOES : None ABSENT:Mr. Metivier REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 04-01-2019, MTG#10 592 HALEYON PROPERTIES, INC.’S APPLICATION FOR VARIANCE/WAIVER REQUEST FROM SANITARY SEWER CONNECTION REQUIREMENT SET FORTH IN TOWN CODE CHAPTER 136-SEWERS AND SEWAGE DISPOSAL ATTORNEY/AGENT NEIL LEBOWITZ SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Reviewed map of property with Town Board members. Presented map of property to public. The piece of property that we are talking about is this piece of property over there. There is a house located right there. The rest of the property is not developed. The sewer line goes over to here on this side. What we are saying is this house here does not have to connect to the sewer for a two-year period. We are confident the way things are moving they are moving very rapidly at the Exit 18 area since we redid the zoning and we put in the sewer. Economic development is finally happening there after it has sat stagnate for many decades. We are just giving an exception to this house over here that you don’t have to tie into the sewer at least not now. ATTORNEY SCHACHNER-At some point I just have a question about whether you are talking about two year, three year or indefinite in terms of extension. The Resolution provides you with options. One of them is a two-year extension. One condition is provided that connection must happen within three years. One is just exemption. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-My understanding is two years. If they want to come back after two years and ask for an extension they are entitled to. ATTORNEY SCHACHNER-Which makes me think we should take out the language in proposed Resolution that says, no further extensions will be granted. We should delete that correct? SUPERVISOR STROUGH-It is the understanding of the Board that we are giving two years of exemption from tying in to the sewer. They are paying everything like everybody else in the district, but they just don’t have to tie in for two years. Is that the understanding? TOWN BOARD-Yes. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Whatever wording you want to do Counsel. We have an Agent or the Owner I am not sure maybe both. Would you please identify yourself and speak to this application. ATTORNEY LEBOWITZ- I am the Attorney for Halcyon Properties Inc. I am also a Corporate Officer of the Corporation. You do have both here the Principal and their Agent. I believe the Town Supervisor explained the situation fairly well. The property is improved by a one family house. A two bedroom one and a half bath, which has a relatively new septic system on the property on the west side. So under the existing situation we are…mandated just to be able to run a sewer line to an efficient spot to tie it in. It would require an extension of the existing sewer line, which is over seven hundred feet to get to the westerly side of the house on the property. The pipes leading out to the septic system and leach field are on the westerly side. It would be an exceptionally expensive proposition under the current use of the property. It would not pay for it. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Your understanding is that we are giving you two years. If you wish an extension, you can come back to the Board and ask for another two years if things do not develop there. We are hoping that everything develops. Counsel would you explain to the Board for clarity of what you have written there? ATTORNEY SCHACHNER-Reviewed Resolution with Town Board before approval. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Any member of the public wish to speak.
