NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS
ORDERED:
1. The Queensbury Town Board shall hold a public hearing to consider establishment of
the previously described proposed extension to the Central Queensbury Quaker Road Sewer District
to be known as Central Queensbury Quaker Road Sewer District Extension No. 11 – Baybridge
Drive.
2. The boundaries of the proposed Extension and benefited areas of the Central
Queensbury Quaker Road Sewer District are as set forth in the Map, Plan and Report previously
described in this Order.
3. The proposed sanitary sewer facilities for Sewer Extension #11 will consist of new
privately owned sanitary facilities to be constructed to serve the proposed District Extension. Parcel
296.15-1-2 will be served by 8” PVC gravity collection sewer which will convey domestic sewage to
a centralized pump station. Such pump station will discharge to the existing Town of Queensbury
sanitary manhole at the corner of Walker Lane and Bay Road via a new force main. The Fairfield
Professional Office complex proposed on parcel 296.15-1-28 will also be served by new privately
owned sanitary facilities. Gravity building sewers leading to individual grinder pump stations will be
constructed for each building. The pump stations will discharge to a pressure sewer system that will
terminate in the sanitary manhole at Walker and Bay Roads. All facilities will be constructed in
accordance with NYSDEC and Town of Queensbury standards. The City of Glens Falls Wastewater
Treatment Facility receives all wastewater collected in the Central Queensbury Quaker Road Sanitary
Sewer District including that which is proposed to be generated by this District Extension. The City
WWTP has the capacity to provide the Town of Queensbury with the capacity necessary for this
District Extension. All such Sewer Extension improvements are more specifically delineated in the
2
Map, Plan and Report. The cost shall include a buy-in to the City of Glens Falls Wastewater
Treatment Plant in the amount of $12,800 ($1.00 per gallon fee x 12,800 gpd for the two parcels).
4. All costs of construction, legal and engineering fees shall be the responsibility of the
developers and will be privately owned and those costs are not intended to be shared by other users
within the Sewer District in accordance with a formula delineated in the Map, Plan and Report. The
improvements shall be constructed and installed in full accordance with the Town of Queensbury's
specifications, ordinances or local laws, any State laws or regulations, in accordance with approved
plans and specifications and under competent engineering supervision.
5.There are no Town hook-up fees for connection to the Sewer District once it is
formed. The private cost of the infrastructure in order to hook up to the Sewer District will vary
depending on many circumstances. Typical sewer lateral installation costs for these commercial
properties is estimated to range from several hundred dollars to several thousand dollars.
The annual cost of the District for the first year of operation to the typical property is
$955.83, comprised of $160.13 for the annual benefit tax and $795.70 for the estimated operation
and maintenance cost. There is no estimated annual cost for a typical one or two-family home since
(1) there are no one or two-family homes currently located in the proposed District, and (2) all
property located within the proposed District is zoned commercial and currently is expected to be
developed as commercial not residential.
The total cost of the improvements is estimated to be $100,000.00 which will entirely
be paid by the developers.
6. In accordance Town Law §206-a, all future expenses of the Central Queensbury
Quaker Road Sewer District, including all extensions included heretofore or hereafter established,
shall be a charge against the entire area of the district as extended.
7. The Map, Plan and Report describing the improvements, area involved and a detailed
3
explanation of hook-up fees and cost of the District to the typical property, and, if different, the
typical one or two family home, is on file with the Queensbury Town Clerk and is available for public
inspection.
8. The Town Board shall meet and hold a public hearing at the Queensbury Activities
th
Center, 742 Bay Road, Queensbury at 7:00 p.m., on Monday, February 11, 2008 to consider the
Map, Plan and Report, hear all persons interested in the proposal and take such other and further
action as may be required or authorized by law.
9. The Town Board hereby authorizes and directs the Queensbury Town Clerk to duly
