a total distance of 461.48 feet to the point and place of beginning, containing 18.88 acres of
land to be the same more or less.
Bearings given in the above description refer to magnetic North.
SUBJECT to easements of record.
2. The proposed improvements are a new 6” diameter water main to be connected to
the 12” District water main recently installed along Blind Rock Road and running along an
easement to the end of the proposed Blackberry Circle Road cul-de-sac and from there along
Blackberry Circle Road to the northern boundary of the proposed Subdivision where Blackberry
Circle Road will intersect with Blackberry Lane. At that point the new pipe will be capped to
allow for future extension and a hydrant will be installed for fire protection and flushing of the
line.
3. The maximum amount proposed to be expended for such improvements is
approximately $14,860. The improvement costs for the proposed extension are specifically
delineated in the Map, Plan and Report.
4. The developer of the proposed Blackberry Circle Subdivision will pay all costs of
the improvements so there will be no debt service costs to the District. The average estimated
annual cost of the District Extension to each single family home for operation and maintenance
and other charges (assuming an average water usage) is $691.00 and the median estimated annual
cost to each single family home is $660.50. As the homes have not yet been constructed or even
designed, there is no “typical property” or “ typical one family home” (which would be the typical
property). There will be no hook-up fees and the cost to construct a water service connection
from the new 6” 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.
6. The developer of the proposed Blackberry Circle Subdivision will pay 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
th
Center, 742 Bay Road, Queensbury at 7:00 p.m., on Monday, October 18, 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.
10. The Town Board hereby authorizes and directs the Community Development
Department to send a copy of the Part I of the Environmental Assessment Form and a copy of the
Map, Plan 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
