NOTICE OF ADOPTION
At a Regular Meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury
held on May 3, 2004 at 7:00 P.M. at the Queensbury Center, Town of
Queensbury, 742 Bay Road, Queensbury, New York, the following
resolution was passed:
ORDER SETTING PUBLIC HEARING CONCERNING PROPOSED
EXTENSION TO QUEENSBURY CONSOLIDATED WATER DISTRICT -
RICHARDSON STREET EXTENSION
RESOLUTION NO.: 255. 2004
INTRODUCED BY: Mr. John Strough WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY: Mr. Roger Boor
WHEREAS, the Queensbury Town Board wishes to establish an extension to the Queensbury
Consolidated Water District to be known as the Richardson Street Extension, and
WHEREAS, a Map, Plan and Report has been prepared regarding the extension which will
encompass the area of Richardson Street situated between Fifth Street Extension and the Queensbury
Town line along Richardson Street/Haviland Avenue, plus Edgewater Place and Feeder Canal Court,
such extension more specifically described in the Map, Plan and Report prepared by Jarrett-Martin
Engineers, PLLC, 12 East Washington Street, Glens Falls, New York and filed in the Queensbury
Town Clerk's Office and available for public inspection, and
WHEREAS, the Map, Plan and Report shows the boundaries of the proposed extension to the
Queensbury Consolidated Water District, a general plan of the water system, a report of the proposed
water system and method of operation and the source of water supply, and
WHEREAS, the Map, Plan and Report shows the water infrastructure serving the parcels
included in the District Extension, and
WHEREAS, Part I of a Short Environmental Assessment Form has been prepared and
presented at this meeting,
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS
ORDERED,
1. The Queensbury Town Board shall hold a public hearing and consider establishing the
proposed extension to the Queensbury Consolidated Water District previously described in this
Resolution and to be known as the Richardson Street Extension;
2.The boundaries of the proposed extensions and benefitted areas of the Queensbury
Consolidated Water District are to be as set forth in the Map, Plan and Report filed in the Queensbury
Town Clerk’s Office.
3.Eight inch (8”) water mains are currently in service along Richardson Street, Haviland
Avenue, Edgewater Place and Feeder Canal Court along with at least six (6) fire hydrants for fire
service. Existing water mains also serve the additional parcels proposed for inclusion in the District.
No new capital improvements are required to serve any of the parcels proposed for inclusion in the
District and therefore, no additional capital costs must be borne by the property owners of this District
Extension and no financing of improvements is required for this District Extension. All properties
included within this District Extension are currently served by the water system and therefore, no new
service hook-ups are required.
4.There will be no hook-up fees to the typical property, which typical property means a
benefited property having an assessed value that approximates the assessed value of the mode of the
benefited properties. The mode value is $90,700. The estimated annual cost of the extension to the
typical property will be $1.4257 per $1,000 assessed value or an ad valorem charge of $129.31. The
water use charge based on 200 gallons/day x 365/4 days/quarter x $1.52/1000 gallons = $20 + $15.20
= $35.20/qrtr or an annual charge of $140.80. So the total estimated annual cost for the typical
2
property is $270.11. The estimated annual cost to the typical user is below the State Comptroller’s
Office threshold amount so no approval of the State Comptroller’s Office will be necessary.
5.The Map, Plan and Report describing the improvements is on file with the Queensbury
Town Clerk and is available for public inspection;
6.All expenses of the District, including all extensions heretofore or hereafter established,
shall be a charge against the entire area of the District as extended and the costs of operation,
maintenance and improvements shall continue to be financed on both an ad valorem basis and a water
rent basis.
7.The Queensbury Town Board shall meet and hold a public hearing at the Queensbury
h
Activities Center, 742 Bay Road, Queensbury, Warren County, New York, at 7:00 p.m., on the 17
day of May, 2004, 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;
8.The Town Board hereby authorizes and directs the Town Clerk to cause a copy of this
Order to be duly published and posted not less than 10 days nor more than 20 days before the hearing
date set forth herein and as required by Town Law §209-d and complete or arrange for the securing of
two Affidavits of Publication of Notice and two Affidavits of Posting of Notice of the Public Hearing
required hereby, and to file a certified copy of this Order with the State Comptroller on or about the

9. The Town Board has received a completed Part I of a Short Form Environmental
Assessment Form and will perform its SEQRA review of this unlisted action prior to Town Board
action.
