MR. TRAVER-Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the Town of Queensbury
Planning Board meeting for Tuesday, June 181". This is the first meeting for the month of
June and Meeting Number 12 for 2019. Thank you to Steve and Michael for bringing us up
to strength this evening for covering for Chris and John that weren't able to join us. We
have a couple of administrative items. Before I do that, please note the illuminated exit
signs. If we have an emergency, that is the way out. If you have an electronic device,
please turn it off or turn the ringer off so we won't be interrupted by it. Thank you. So
two administrative items. We have an approval of minutes for the three meetings we had
in April, April 16, 23, and 30. I believe we have a resolution to that effect.
MR. DEEB-Bef ore I do the resolution, is anybody going to abstain from any of the minutes?
Which one?
MR. MAGOWAN-The one I didn't make.
MR. DEEB-I'll do them separately.
MR. MAGOWAN-We don't have enough if?
MR. TRAVER-It's not that. It just keeps the record clearer. If you're not abstaining from
all of the minutes.
MR. MAGOWAN-Which one wasn't I at, Maria?
MS. GAGLIARDI-I'm not sure.
MR. MAGOWAN-I know I missed one.
MR. VALENTINE-If you had read the minutes, you'd know.

DAVID HUTCHINSON, REPRESENTING APPLICANT, PRESENT
MR. TRAVER-Laura?
MRS. MOORE-So this application was tabled at the previous month's meeting because we
were waiting for a septic certification letter, and at this time all the Board members
received that via e-mail. We do have a hard copy in the file. So the applicant has received
that and the application can move forward as Planning Board recommendation. The applicant
4
(Queensbury Planning Board 06/18/2019)
proposes to remove a half story roof area of 392 square feet and replace with a full second
story of 715 square feet. The addition is to have two bedrooms and a bedroom downstairs
is to be converted to other living space. The house is considered pre-existing, non-
conforming and the relief sought is for setbacks and permeability. At this time I don't
think height is involved anymore.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you. Good evening.
MR. HUTCHINSON-Hi, my name's Dave Hutchinson. I'm a representative for Reece
Rudolph. I apologize he wasn't able to make this meeting tonight. Essentially the way the
building's laid out now, the second floor has eave storage space in the front and back of the
house and what he's proposing to do is remove the second floor, make the side wall straight
and capture that space. It's about 250 square feet. That would just be a little more space
to have upstairs. We would keep within the footprint of the existing house and add a raised
deck area off the back upstairs bedroom. We're asking for a one percent decrease in the
permeability from what's existing now as a variance and two, two and a half percent of the
Floor Area Ratio decrease I guess you could say. The second floor interestingly is only a
few feet into the setback. The portion of the building that is in the setback right now
mostly is not being added on to if you will. You can see that in the site plan in the hatched
in area of the second floor.
MR. TRAVER-There's no change in the footprint. Right?
MR. HUTCHINSON-Right.
MR. TRAVER-You're just adding some height.
MR. HUTCHINSON-Right.
MR. TRAVER-And the reason for the variance on the setbacks is essentially it's a pre-
existing. In other words, you're not decreasing the setback. It just comes up again as an
issue because you're modifying the site.
MR. HUTCHINSON-Exactly.
MR. TRAVER-Okay.
MR. HUTCHINSON-Presently that corner of the building is a few feet over the setback.
When we make that wall straight up it will still be a few feet into the setback.
MR. TRAVER-Okay.
MR. VALENTINE-Is that the same rationale in the permeability? Because you said a
decrease in permeability.
MR. TRAVER-Yes, essentially the same issue, yes. And height is a new one. Have you had
an opportunity to look at the Staff comments?
MR. HUTCHINSON-Yes, I did.
MR. TRAVER-Can you comment or discuss with us under landscaping the shoreline buffering?
MR. HUTCHINSON-I sure can. Interestingly, I wish I had a photo of it, but about 20 feet
ironically back from the shore there is a buffer area presently that has at least three full
grown trees in the eight to twelve diameter range and then medium landscaping and shrubs
and smaller plantings already and that covers the full width of the property, and then
5
(Queensbury Planning Board 06/18/2019)
there's, from that lake edge of that buffer to the lake about 20 feet is flat and a grass
area.
MR. TRAVER-So there isn't a buffer at the shoreline. It's setback from the shoreline.
MR. HUTCHINSON-Right. I think historically probably the property was such that you had
furniture down there at the water's edge and so over the years it was kept flat. I don't
know, that portion has been flat historically and then it severely slopes right up and just as
it's starting to slope there's sort of a natural buffer there now. Our hope is that that's
catching the stormwater naturally and what does make it through that flat area is allowed
to permeate into the ground. If it's a good idea to enhance that existing buffer or move
some of that further towards the lake, I can certainly look at that.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. Questions, comments from members of the Board? I'm not hearing
any. When this was tabled originally back in May, May 29t", we did open a public hearing and
kept it open pending, in the expectation that we heard tonight. So I will ask is there anyone
in the audience this evening that would like to address the Planning Board on this application?
I'm not seeing anyone. Laura, are there any written comments?
PUBLIC HEARING OPEN
MRS. MOORE-There's no written comments.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. Then we will close the public hearing.
MRS. MOORE-No, you can't close it yet. It's still in the Planning Board Recommendation
phase. Sorry.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. Just looking at the agenda it says that we already had a public hearing.
MRS. MOORE-Right. It still remains open because you're still in the Planning Board
Recommendation phase.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. Now I understand what you're saying. All right. So we will not close
the public hearing. Thank you for that clarification. All right. So that will remain open
pending Site Plan Review. Understood. All right. So how do Board members feel about
the variances that are being sought? No increase in the footprint, no change in the setbacks
really. Avery tiny improvement in permeability. How do people feel about the shoreline
buffering? You heard the representation of what's there.
MR. MAGOWAN-Well like he said there is a hill that comes down and the steps are there,
and I have seen some of the vegetation on the bottom. What I guess I'd like to see is, since
this is for a recommendation, let's see what they can come back with for the final there,
just increasing that vegetation. Because that's one of the things that we ask for, you know,
you're absolutely right with it coming down it's going to absorb. It goes in the flat area, but
we do ask for, when we're doing this, and since you're asking for some variances, not because
you're asking for them, but one of our codes is to increase our vegetation to protect our
lakes.
MR. TRAVER-One of the things that might work, since you do have, as you mentioned, this
historic buffer that's there, would be maybe at the shoreline, at the shore side of this flat
area you mentioned like some low bushes or some hedging or something that would help
infiltrate, be a further buffer to any infiltration of stormwater going into the lake. That
probably would help, even if it were just a few feet wide. Do you know what I'm saying?
MR. HUTCHINSON-Yes.
6
(Queensbury Planning Board 06/18/2019)
MR. TRAVER-Because grass doesn't tend to do that very well.
MR. HUTCHINSON-I think probably his plan, as far as renovation, is also to renovate and
landscape as well, and I can only assume he's enhancing that buffer area, just to clean it up.
I think probably just in presentation wise adding to the lakeside, do you think it's okay that
that enhancement of it, to filter it further, is it okay from the water's edge to hit it just as
it leaves the hill and then that's good. To leave that a little open?
MR. TRAVER-Well my concern is, and I'll let others comment. Generally the concern is that
if you have a grassed area going right to the lake that very likely is going to result in some
stormwater runoff going into the lake. So the idea is to have a buffer at the lake edge. I
mean it sounds like the buffering you have uphill from that is going to help a great deal. So
I don't think you need anything massive, but if you could have even a row of hedge type of
thing there, something that would just interrupt that, you know, between the grass and the
water.
MR. MAGOWAN-The sheeting of water.
MR. TRAVER-Yes.
MR. MAGOWAN-Especially like, you know, when the ground's still frozen and we have the
heavy rains, and if it's all pitched towards the lake, you know, nothing goes in the ground. It
goes out, but if you have that little small, you know, little six inch berm and a little, you know,
planting, then it will stop it and will go into the ground. It's not just for summertime it's
wintertime between the thaws and the freezes.
MR. DEEB-Your thought of extending what's there out. That still won't stop the sheeting,
like Brad said. If you put a buffer at the Lakeshore.
MR. TRAVER-Right at the water's edge.
MR. DEEB-It would be a better buffer.
MR. TRAVER-You would still have the lawn area, the flat lawn area.
MR. DEEB-Right.
MR. TRAVER-So if you can work on that and be back for Site Plan, presumably, after you
get through the ZBA for the variances. So think about that and maybe you could have
something and discuss it with us further when we get to that stage. Tonight we're really
only addressing the variances, but often something like this needs to be discussed, just to
give you a heads up that it's a concern.
MR. HUTCHINSON-Yes, I've got you.
MR. MAGOWAN-So a little bit of a plan. I mean it doesn't have to be an elaborate one, but
we don't want it on the back of a napkin either.
MR. HUTCHINSON-No, I can update my site plan to show planting there. I can even
identify the type of plantings.
MR. TRAVER-And Town Staff, Laura for example, can help you with that as well, if you
wanted to get some feedback in advance. So how do Board members feel about the
setbacks, the permeability and the height variances?
7
(Queensbury Planning Board 06/18/2019)
MRS. MOORE-It's a floor area, sorry, there's no height. It's a floor area ratio variance.
MR. MAGOWAN-I'm all right with it.
MR. DEEB-I'm fine with it. There's not many changes.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. All right. Then I guess we're ready for a resolution.

DAN RYAN, REPRESENTING APPLICANT, PRESENT
MR. TRAVER-Laura?
MRS. MOORE-Okay. The applicant proposes to demolish a portion of the existing office
building currently at 6,890 square feet which is a one story to become a two story, 8,586
square foot footprint office addition. The project also includes a 1,500 square foot pavilion
for company events. The pavilion requires setback relief from a pond. So the relief is
specifically for the pavilion.
MR. TRAVER-Gotcha. Okay. Good evening.
MR. RYAN-Good evening. Dan Ryan here representing the applicant, AngioDynamics. We
are proposing basically a two story office building project. I know they've been before this
Board for prior approvals for similar designs. This one's a little bit scaled back in terms of
size, and strategically they've decided to tear down portions of the existing building to
construct that area with the new office facility. What we're here before you today is for
the recommendation to the Zoning Board for the setback variance. This is related to a
detached outdoor pavilion structure. Currently they have a very small employee outdoor
break area and they also do host several events there at their facility.
MR. TRAVER-There's a tent there, right?
MR. RYAN-They have a tent there quite frequently. I think if you've been by there you've
probably seen it in that exact same area where we're proposing on doing it. So this is really
just a more permanent solution. It's just a small 50 by 30 structure, slab on grade with a
pavilion roof system. Obviously decorative so that it looks nice. Really there's not a lot of
place on this property that is setback compliant let alone shoreline compliant as well. So
this is really the only place that there's enough space to locate it and it is where they already
use the area for the same amenity.
MR. TRAVER-Right.
MR. RYAN-And ultimately I think they felt that this would be a good offer for their
employees and what they need as well as try and put it still in the location that is convenient
for accessing it as well.
MR. TRAVER-I think it will look better than a tent.
MR. RYAN-Yes, definitely, there's no question about that.
MR. TRAVER-And that pond I think is a manmade pond. Is it not?
MR. RYAN-It started out as stormwater pond many years ago it was just a channel or
depression and as more and more area has been getting developed it's accumulated more
retention. So it's controlled by an outflow now. All that was done in prior project works.
9
(Queensbury Planning Board 06/18/2019)
All of that drainage system was re-worked and I think maybe Building Five on this site, there
was a lot of drainage improvements done then.
MR. TRAVER-I know the ducks like it. I see ducks.
MR. RYAN-Ultimately I think they feel like it's a, mathematically the variance might seem
like it's a 75 foot shoreline setback to that water body. We're proposing 25.3, but it's as
close as we can get to the parking area and it's in the largest spot of green area that's not
within the existing parking area. So there's not a lot of other options without removing
parking or asphalt in another area of the site and then people are hanging around the parking
lot, and it is a nice setting where they're putting it. So that was kind of important to them.
MR. TRAVER-It is.
MR. RYAN-I'd be happy to answer any other questions. I know I'll be back after the variance
is worked out. Hopefully it gets approved and we'll be back before you for Site Plan.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. Questions, comments from members of the Board?
MR. MAGOWAN-No. I'm just happy that they're staying. Being a manmade pond, it does
look nice there, and like I said, I know the pavilion. I mean I remember back in the PBS
days. So it's a great asset to have over there and I don't have any questions for him.
MR. TRAVER-Any other comments? Any questions for Dan? Okay. I guess we're ready
for a resolution.

CAROL WRIGHT, PRESENT
MR. TRAVER-Laura?
MRS. MOORE-All right. The applicant proposes to rent two boat slips on either side of the
owner's boathouse. The boathouse is used for the owner's kayak and canoes. The site plan
notes the garbage, restroom access and parking for tenants. There's no pump out necessary
as the boats do not have bathrooms on their boats. The applicant has gone through the
Special Use Permit criteria and completed that information. The specific criteria outlined
for Class A Marina. They identify specifically Lake George Park Commission excerpts and
the applicant has completed that and the applicant has also reviewed with the Lake George
Park Commission to complete their application process.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you. Good evening.
MS. WRIGHT-Good evening. Carol Wright representing myself.
MR. TRAVER-So you're interested in renting your boat slips, not an uncommon thing in that
area and I understand you have neighbors that are already doing that. Correct?
MS. WRIGHT-Right. I also have three letters from neighbors supporting the application.
Can I give them to the Board?
MR. TRAVER-Yes, you can give them to Laura and we'll add them to the record. So these
are boats that do not have overnight. So they don't need a pump out and you're going to
give the renters access to the restroom. You're not selling gas. You're not operating a
quick launch facility. Questions, comments from members of the Planning Board on this?

(Queensbury Planning Board 06/18/2019)
MR. DIXON-I had a question regarding parking, because I know it's a very narrow street.
Are you anticipating parking right in front of the garage?
MS. WRIGHT-We have four parking spaces and we've just given two of them to the renters.
That's off the street on the grassy area.
MR. MAGOWAN-Carol in your picture I notice that the screen's down in the picture here.
That's an awfully big kayak and canoe you have in there.
MS. WRIGHT-That's a really old picture. That screen is pretty much in tatters. We're
about to remove it.
MR. MAGOWAN-I wasn't worried about the screen. I was looking at the stern of the boat
in there. It looks a little bigger than a kayak or a canoe.
MS. WRIGHT-That's an old picture from when there was a family boat. We don't have that
anymore.
MR. MAGOWAN-You don't have that old wooden thing anymore?
MS. WRIGHT-No, that's what the picture is, with the window.
MR. MAGOWAN-I'm questioning you to see what you're going to come back with.
MS. WRIGHT-That was sold about 20 years ago.
MR. TRAVER-Actually I don't think it technically matters what they store in there.
MR. MAGOWAN-Well this is kind of like the third bedroom on the second floor near the
library. I don't have a problem with this. You're not selling gas. As long as the parking's
not on the road. We'll make a stipulation on that, right, no parking on the road?
MS. WRIGHT-That's clear with them, yes.
MR. TRAVER-There is a public hearing on this application. Is there anyone that wants to
address the Planning Board on this application? I'm not seeing anyone. I know you submitted
a couple of comment letters. Did you want to read them?
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED
MRS. MOORE-This is addressed to the Planning Board. "Relative to the above referenced
Special Use Permit application, as immediate neighbors to the north of Carol Wright please
be advised we have no objection whatsoever with the Planning Board granting said permit.
We have known Carol and the Wright family for decades and, not only are they excellent
and responsible neighbors but are also great stewards of Lake George and advocates for its'
preservation and sustainability. Sincerely, Robert L.Tarrant Jean T.Tarrant" And they're
at 308 Cleverdale Road. The next one also addressed to the Planning Board, "Welcome, no
objections", and this is from Terry Freihofer. This is addressed to "To Whom It May
Concern: We live next door at 302 Cleverdale Road. We support the request for the
boating arrangement and have no objection. Susan Livingston Douglas Livingston"
MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you, Laura. So we closed the public hearing. Are there any
other comments or questions for the applicant from members of the Planning Board? I
guess we're ready to entertain a motion.
MR. DEEB-Okay.

JON LAPPER, REPRESENTING APPLICANT, PRESENT; DAVID STANHOPE, PRESENT
MR. TRAVER-Good evening.
MR. LAPPER-Good evening, everyone. For the record, Jon Lapper with David Stanhope.
David is a new resident of Queensbury. He built this house at the corner of Sweet Road
and Country Club about a year ago. They have a young son and he commutes every day to
the Granville Barracks as a State Trooper which is a half hour commute but a nice commute.
They've got a large four acre piece of property, some of which is wetlands and they'd like to
put a pool in so we had to submit these two applications. It's very close to the house. Very
low impact on the backyard. There's no standing water. It's not that kind of wetland.
Nothing will impact the wetland. It's just the buffer area and the application that we
submitted, looking at the map, the minimum distance to the wetland, it's just in one spot
where it encroaches closer to the house, but the vast majority is much farther from the
wetland. So as stated in the application the paved area around the pool would be a lot of
the permeability. So we don't see this as a great impact. We'd be happy to answer any
questions.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. Questions, comments from members of the Planning Board?
MR. MAGOWAN-I'd like to say, I know it's been a long haul getting your house there but it
really does look nice.
MR. LAPPER-Thank you very much.
MR. MAGOWAN-After everything we've been through and the shuffling back and forth, I
know it was a headache with the wetland delineations and this and that, but placing it, it
really looks nice, and then when I saw this, I said now they want to put a pool in. I said no
wonder you brought in the heavy hitter, but I don't, you've really placed everything right
there and it looks good and you're making all the concessions to be the best. I feel pretty
good with it. That's all I have to say.
MR. TRAVER-Other questions for the applicant?
MR. DIXON-Is it going to be a standard pool or is it going to be one of those salt water
pools?
14
(Queensbury Planning Board 06/18/2019)
MR. STANHOPE-Just a standard pool, not salt water.
MR. TRAVER-Salt water pool?
MR. DIXON-I believe that there are salt water pools out there.
MR. LAPPER-That's like the latest thing.
MR. TRAVER-Really?
MR. LAPPER-So you don't have to use the chlorine.
MR. TRAVER-When I lived in St. Croix there was a resort called St. Croix by the Sea and
they had this huge swimming pool and it was shaped like the island but it's freshwater. So
you had like ten feet away it was saltwater and then the pool was freshwater. It was kind
of interesting. I never heard of the other way around. That's interesting. We do have a
public hearing on this application. Is there anyone in the audience that wanted to address
the Planning Board? Yes, ma'am.
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED
PAULA NORTON
MRS. NORTON-Hi, Paula Norton, 41 Country Club, just up the road from David and I am in
agreement with him. It's a great asset to their home. No issues with it. I myself have a
pool.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. Maybe he was inspired by your pool. Very good. Thank you very much
for your comment. Are there any written comments, Laura?
MRS. MOORE-There are no written comments.
MR. MAGOWAN-I do have one more question. The pool, is it a fiberglass or is it going to
be lined?
MR. STANHOPE-It's actually a commercial grade pool, which is nice. It's a steel surrounding
concrete and then it's an insert that goes into it.
MR. MAGOWAN-Right. So a liner. I'm just concerned, when you dug, how deep was the
water table?
MR. STANHOPE-It's actually deeper than they had previously thought it was going to be.
It's five and a half, six feet down.
MR. MAGOWAN-Okay. So, good, so you're going to have a shallow pool.
MR. STANHOPE-Yes. It's not that deep. It's only six feet at its deepest.
MR. MAGOWAN-All right.
MR. TRAVER-So we will close the public hearing.
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
MR. LAPPER-One other thing I would like to mention. When we spoke today David asked me
what the setback is from a house to a pool and I know that that's 10 feet, and the way this
15
(Queensbury Planning Board 06/18/2019)
was designed it's nine feet. So we may need one more foot of relief on the back, but the
plan that Laura has shows nine feet from the house, between the pool.
MR. TRAVER-Instead of 10.
MRS. MOORE-Did you file for the building permit?
MR. LAPPER-No.
MRS. MOORE-Okay, well that will come up at that point.
MR. LAPPER-We want the permit to be correct.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. Yes. You want it to be correct. So noting that minor change, does
that add to anyone's concern?
MS. WHITE-There's just the concern that it is still within 50 feet of the wetland, and that's
there for a purpose.
MR. TRAVER-Noted.
MR. MAGOWAN-So closer to the house better. Is that what you're saying?
MS. WHITE-Me? No.
MR. TRAVER-Is this a SEQR Type II, Laura?
MRS. MOORE-Yes.
MR. LAPPER-Yes.
MR.TRAVER-Okay. So no review under SEQR is required. I guess we're ready for a motion.

RANDY GROSS, PRESENT
MR. TRAVER-Laura?
MRS. MOORE-So this applicant proposes to install a 900 square foot concrete patio with a
900 square foot canopy for outdoor seating. The canopy is to have clear vinyl siding that
can be rolled down or up depending on the weather conditions. The applicant is limited to
45 seats total. The application shows, the floor plan shows inside and outside seating as
needed and then the applicant also proposes a walk in cooler that is to be located at the
southwest side, front of the existing building. There may be discussion this evening in
reference to lighting and the signage that he's proposing. We've had some a-mails that we
17
(Queensbury Planning Board 06/18/2019)
shared back and forth so I'm going to let Randy take the lead on what type of lighting he's
proposing. As far as I know at this time it's considered compliant.
MR. TRAVER-It is considered compliant?
MRS. MOORE-Yes.
MR. TRAVER-I saw that it was up cast.
MRS. MOORE-Yes, but now he's changed his mind at this time. That's why I'll let Randy
take the lead.
MR. GROSS-Good evening. Did they provide any photos for you?
MR. TRAVER-We have plans.
MRS. MOORE-No, I didn't get any information.
MR. GROSS-All right. The material, first of all, is polished aluminum diamond plate, which
is really reflective.
MR. TRAVER-You're speaking about the sign now.
MR. GROSS-The sign itself, and each letter is 47 inches tall and the sign's length is 31 and
a half feet, and the way that we are attaching the sign to the roof, it's a standing seam steel
roof. So because of the ribs it's very conducive to anchoring, and what we're doing for the
top rail as an anchor is creating a straight line that's level that will extend out over the sign.
I'm estimating two feet that we can put an LED, the only thing I would liken it to would be a
shop light, but a single LED strip that would be attached to an aluminum angle liner, and that
would then cast light down as opposed to up, which is against the desires of lighting across
America. So in short that's answering that question.
MR. TRAVER-So the lighting will be compliant. The sign I understand has already been
reviewed and is compliant.
MRS. MOORE-Is considered, yes, it's already in the permitting review.
MR. TRAVER-So that was my main concern with the lighting when I saw that it was up cast.
That's a definite no, no. So you're taking care of that by making that downcast.
MR. GROSS-And I don't think the lumens, the amount of light, foot candles that we're going
to have, is going to be, because of reflection.
MR. TRAVER-And the light is going to be very close to the surface.
MR. GROSS-Yes, so it won't be like a parking lot light lamp that lights up a huge area. It'll
be very appropriate.
MR. TRAVER-Okay. All right, and then the outside seating. There was one comment I
noticed by the Fire Marshal that you needed to have an exit required to the public way. I
guess that's just basically so that if people are in there, particularly if you have the bad
weather material down, that there's a way for people to exit in case of emergency.
MR. GROSS-As the area is right now, there are three different sidewalks that exit that
patio from.
18
(Queensbury Planning Board 06/18/2019)
MR. TRAVER-Okay. All right. Questions, comments from members of the Planning Board?
MR. MAGOWAN-I have a couple. One, if you throw on the side panels on the canopy, does
that block the exits?
MR. GROSS-These are, these panels are sections. So if that is of a concern, that's
something that can be addressed just by leaving it open.
MR. MAGOWAN-Well, what I'm saying is if it's not, you know, I've seen them. I'm looking,
my concern, and I didn't see it in the Fire Marshal letter, and I meant to put a call in, things
sometimes just get away from me, but this is the picture that you have of the canopy, right?
This is a vinyl canopy.
MR. GROSS-Yes.
MR. MAGOWAN-All right. And my concern is that we had another business locally that did
this and the Fire Marshal, what is the fire retardant nature of this vinyl?
MR. GROSS-That's already been, because when we first gained use of this property, we had
to provide tents that were, that meet that standard. So I'm familiar with. So in my
searching for tents, I am providing that the tent material will be at that standard.
MR. MAGOWAN-All right. Because what I'm looking at is the same one that I bought at
like Amazon for my parties that, you know, and of course when I set up I always put a super
duper sprinkler system on and connect it to my pool so I have plenty of water, but I mean I
just didn't see that in the Fire Marshal's letter and I didn't want to see it, and then down
the road they say, so we just want to make sure that that is a fire retardant tarp or canvas
or whatever.
MR. GROSS-Yes, and to address that egress question, I would anticipate that at most there
would be three sides that would be closed and one to the north would be left open completely,
so for egress as well as there's a doorway to the inside of the building.
MRS. MOORE-So I did speak with the Fire Marshal also and the question, and you've
addressed is that there is an access outside and he's leaving that north end or at any one
point in time, one of those ends or the sides needs to be left open besides the entry into
the facility. So he's discussed that.
MR. GROSS-And it's really only for the pleasure of being outdoors. It's not like we're trying
to be out there in inclement weather.
MR. MAGOWAN-No, but you will push it into the fall season a little bit more and you could
probably put it in, my concern is that you'll get one of those little heaters there that do
quite well, and that's why I'm looking for the fire retardant and I didn't happen to see it in
his letter and I didn't want it to come down on you later on.
MR. TRAVER-We do have a public hearing on this application. Is there anyone that wants
to make comment to the Planning Board on this application? And I'm not seeing anyone. Are
there any written comments, Laura?
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED
MRS. MOORE-There are no written comments.
MR. TRAVER-All right. Then we'll go ahead and close the public hearing.
19
(Queensbury Planning Board 06/18/2019)
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
MR. TRAVER-This is also a SEQR Type II. So no SEQR action is needed. Are there any
other questions for the applicant before we consider a resolution?
MR. DIXON-Just a quick one. Any changes to the lighting? Are you putting any lighting
outside the canopy? I didn't see any.
MR. GROSS-Likely it will be this LED rope light, something that's very.
MR. TRAVER-The lower wattage rope lighting.
MR. GROSS-Yes, very low.
MR. DIXON-I'm assuming those are just going to be plug-ins. So do you have easy access
to outlets?
MR. GROSS-Yes. We do have outdoor outlets already in place.
MR. VALENTINE-I have one other thing, Mr. Chairman. It's just for concurrence among
our paperwork. The resolution states that the canopy is 900 square feet. It's also noted
as 900 square feet in the notes, but then in the rest of the paperwork it says 1,000 square
feet. So I'm not sure which is the right size.
MR. TRAVER-Laura, can you clarify that?
MRS. MOORE-So the patio itself is 900 and the canopy is going over the top of that. So
it's approximately 1,000 square feet.
MR. TRAVER-Okay, because it's not going to be perfectly flat. So it's got more square
footage. Yes. That makes more sense.
MR. VALENTINE-The resolution would you just change that to 1,000.
MRS. MOORE-Update it to 1,000.
MR. TRAVER-Anything else? I guess we're ready to entertain a motion.
