2. The boundaries of the proposed extension and benefitted areas of the Queensbury
Technical Park Sewer District are to be as follows:
All that tract or parcel of land situate in the Town of Queensbury, County of Warren, State of
New York, located on the northerly side of Dix Avenue, in said Town, bounded and described
as follows:
Beginning at a point in the northerly line of Dix Avenue at a distance of 548.44 feet, easterly,
measured along said northerly line from an iron rod marking the division line between the City
of Glens Falls, on the West, and the Town of Queensbury, on the East, and which said rod also
marks the southwest corner of those premises conveyed by George P. Powhida, Administrator
of the Estates of Michael Powhida and Helen Powhida, to Gerald J. and Roger Hewlett, by
Deed dated June 8, 1978, and recorded in the Warren County Clerk’s Office in Book 614 of
Deeds at Page 824; running thence from the place of beginning, in a northerly direction on a
curve to the right, having a radius of 50 feet, from a forward tangent of North 65 degrees 06
minutes 40 seconds West, for a distance of 60.25 feet; thence North 03 degrees 55 minutes 40
seconds East, and along the easterly line of a 50 foot wide right-of-way, for a distance of
512.20 feet to a point of curve; thence on a curve to the right, having a radius of 300 feet, for a
distance of 220.10 feet; thence South 44 degrees 02 minutes 10 seconds East for a distance of
219.13 feet to a point of a curve; thence on a curve to the right, having a radius of 150 feet, for
a distance of 180.45 feet; thence South 24 degrees 53 minutes 20 seconds West for a distance

Containing 6.965 acres of land, more or less.

The property is subject to a drainage ditch as described in a writing dated April 30, 1886 and
recorded in the Warren County Clerk’s Office July 30, 1886 in Book 51 of Deeds at Page 542
and further described in a second writing dated November 8, 1889 and recorded in the Warren
County Clerk’s Office April 18, 1891 in Book 63 of Deeds at Page 88.
3. The single parcel of land in this proposed Sewer District Extension has on it an existing
business known as Garvey Hyundai. The proposed connection to the existing municipal sewer system
will involve a force main lateral to an existing manhole thus no additional piping or structures will be
constructed for dedication to the district. Work within the public right-of-way on Dix Avenue will be
minimal. Plans and details for this new connection are shown on the Map, Plan and Report. Flows
from this proposed Extension will be transported by existing sewers in the Technical Park Sewer
District and will be discharged to the City of Glens Falls sewer collection system for treatment at the
City of Glens Falls Sewage Treatment Facility.
4. All costs of construction, legal and engineering fees shall be the responsibility of the sole
property owner. 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. The maximum amount proposed to be expended to form the District Extension is
approximately $13,820 which would be borne by the sole property owner. This estimate includes the
capital cost of construction as well as the one-time buy-in fee for capacity at the Glens Falls Sewage
Treatment Facility in the amount of $900. The current operation and maintenance use fee in the
district is $3.50 per 1,000 gallons of metered water usage. The property within the Extension will be
taxed and/or assessed user fees for the operation and maintenance charges required for the entire
district. All user fees and taxes will be based upon the same formulas as are presently used in the
Queensbury Technical Park Sewer District.
6. The capital cost of the project will be totally financed and paid for by the property owner
and therefore, there will be no financing cost or tax increase in the existing Technical Park Sewer
District. The operation and maintenance cost for the single property in Extension No. 5 is estimated to
3
be $1,150 per year based upon an estimated water use of 900 gallons per workday. There are no
residential properties in Extension No. 5, just the single commercial property. Therefore, typical costs
for residential properties of varying assessments are not required.
7. In accordance with Town Law §206-a, all future expenses of the Queensbury Technical
Park Sewer District, including all extensions included heretofore or hereafter established shall be a
charge against the entire area of the district as extended.
8. The Map, Plan and Report describing the improvements and area involved and a detailed
explanation of the fees and costs is on file with the Queensbury Town Clerk and is available for public
inspection.
9. The Town Board shall meet and hold a public hearing at the Queensbury Activities Center,
th
742 Bay Road, Queensbury at 7:00 p.m., on Monday, October 6, 2003 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 Queensbury Town Clerk to duly
publish and post this Order not less than ten (10) days nor more than twenty (20) days before the
public hearing date, as required by Town Law §209-d, and complete or arrange for the securing of two
(2) Affidavits of Publication of Notice and two (2) 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 date of publication.
11. The Town Board authorizes and directs the Queensbury Community Development
Department to prepare a report on any environmental impacts that should be considered at the time a
SEQRA review is conducted.
12. The Town Board hereby authorizes and directs the Community Development Department
to send a copy of this Resolution, Part I of the Environmental Assessment Form and a copy of the
4
Map, Plan and Report to all potentially involved agencies and to the New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation and New York State Department of Health together with all
documentation to be sent out with a letter indicating that the Town Board is about to undertake

Town Board as Lead Agency is desired and that a Lead Agency must be agreed upon within 30 days.
