SERVE CLUBVIEW LANE PROPERTIES IN
THE LOOKOUT SUBDIVISION
RESOLUTION NO.: 635, 2006
INTRODUCED BY: Mr. Roger Boor
WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY: Mr. John Strough
WHEREAS, the Town of Queensbury wishes to extend the Queensbury Consolidated
Water District to serve the Clubview Lane properties in the Lookout Subdivision (Subdivision) in
accordance with New York Town Law Article 12-A, and
WHEREAS, a Map, Plan and Report (Map, Plan and Report) has been prepared by
Jarrett-Martin Engineers, PLLC, professional engineers, concerning the proposed water district
extension to connect the Subdivision to the existing Queensbury Consolidated Water District
water main along Oakwood Drive northward along a new common driveway called Clubview
Lane to a hydrant at the boundary of the northernmost lot, as more specifically set forth and
described in the Map, Plan and Report, and
WHEREAS, the Map, Plan and Report has been filed in the Queensbury Town Clerk's
Office and is available for public inspection, and
WHEREAS, the Map, Plan and Report delineates the boundaries of the proposed water
district extension, a general plan of the proposed system, a report of the proposed method of
operation, the source of water supply and mode of constructing the proposed water district
extension improvements, and
WHEREAS, an Environmental Assessment Form (EAF) was submitted with the Map,
Plan and Report and Part I of the EAF was completed by the developer’s representatives, and
WHEREAS, the Queensbury Town Board desires to be Lead Agency for purposes of the
environmental review required for the project under the State Environmental Quality Review Act
(SEQRA),
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY
ORDERED:
1. The boundaries of the proposed Water District are as set forth in the Map, Plan
and Report, and are delineated on Exhibit A hereto.
2. The proposed improvements consist of construction of infrastructure to support
the Subdivision which included approximately 600’ of new 8” water main extending from the
existing water main along Oakwood Drive, northward along a new common driveway called
Clubview Lane to a hydrant at the boundary of the northernmost lot. Two fire hydrants were also
installed at the time that the driveway and other utilities were installed to serve the subdivision.
No additional capital water improvements are required to serve any of the parcels proposed for
inclusion in the District.
3. The capital improvements necessary for this service area were provided and paid
for by the subdivision developer and therefore no additional capital costs for water infrastructure
must be borne by the property owners of this District Extension with the exception of water
service laterals from the water main to the houses. Installation of such laterals is predicted to cost
in the range of $1500 to $3000 per house. There is no cost to the Town or the District for this
District Extension.
4. The capital improvements necessary for this service area were provided and paid
for by the Subdivision developer and so there will be no debt service costs related to this District
2
Extension to the District. The estimated annual cost of the District Extension to the typical
property in the District Extension, which typical property is a typical one or two family home for
operation and maintenance and other charges (assuming an average water usage) is $561.96.
Homes have not yet been constructed in the Subdivision. There will be no hook-up fees and the
cost to construct a water service connection from the new 8” water main to the structure and
purchase and install a water meter would be included in the total cost of each home.
5. A detailed explanation of how the estimated costs of the District Extension were
computed is included in the Map, Plan and Report which has been filed with the Queensbury
Town Clerk and is available for public inspection.
.
6The developer of the Subdivision paid all costs of the improvements so there will
be no financing required by the Town on behalf of the District.
7. The proposed improvements shall be constructed and installed as specifically
delineated in the Map, Plan and Report and in full accordance with the Town of Queensbury's
specifications, ordinances or local laws, and any State laws or regulations, and in accordance with
approved plans and specifications and under competent engineering supervision.
8. In accordance with Town Law §206-a, all future expenses of the Queensbury
Consolidated Water District, including all extensions heretofore or hereafter established, shall be a
charge against the entire area of the District as extended.
9. The Town Board shall meet and hold a public hearing at the Queensbury Activities
nd
Center, 742 Bay Road, Queensbury at 7:00 p.m., on Monday, January 22, 2007 to consider the
Map, Plan and Report and to hear all persons interested in the proposal and to take such other
and further action as may be required or authorized by law.
10. The Town Board hereby authorizes and directs the Community Development
Department to send a copy of the Environmental Assessment Form and a copy of the Map, Plan
3
and Report to all potentially involved agencies, the New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation and the New York State Department of Health, together with all documentation

consideration of the project identified in this Resolution, that a coordinated SEQRA review with
the Queensbury Town Board as Lead Agency is desired and that a Lead Agency must be agreed
upon within 30 days.
11. The Town Board hereby authorizes and directs the Community Development
Department to prepare a report identifying any environmental impacts it believes should be
considered at the time the SEQRA review is conducted.
12. The Town Board hereby authorizes and directs the Queensbury Town Clerk to
duly publish and post this Order not less than ten (10) days nor more than twenty (20) days before
