WHEREAS, on or about June 15, 1992, the Michaels Group, acting
as the Project Sponsor on behalf of the Niagara Mohawk Power

Environmental Assessment Form with exhibits, and requested that
certain parcels of land, bearing tax map numbers: 148-1-2.1, and
151-1-7.1, consisting of a total of approximately 307 acres, and
existing, generally, southerly of Corinth Road and west of Sherman
Island Road in the Town of Queensbury, be designated a Planned Unit
Development in accordance with, and by virtue of, the provisions of
Article 8 of the Zoning Laws of the Town of Queensbury, the same
being a part of Chapter 179 of the Code of the Town of Queensbury,
and
WHEREAS, on or about the July 6, 1992, the Town Board of the
Town of Queensbury adopted a resolution authorizing the submission
of the aforesaid request concerning the Planned Unit Development,
to be submitted to the Town of Queensbury Planning Board for a
report and recommendation, and
WHEREAS, on or about the 31st day of August, 1992, the Town
Board of the Town of Queensbury adopted a resolution indicating its
desire to be lead agent for SEQRA purposes and authorizing
notification of all other involved agencies that the aforesaid
letter of intent and application had been made, and that a
coordinated SEQRA review was desired to be undertaken, and
WHEREAS, on or about the 24th day of September, 1992, the
Planning Board for the Town of Queensbury adopted a resolution
whereby it stated that the Planning Board had reviewed the Sketch
Plan and its related documents and was rendering a favorable report
to the Town Board with certain stipulations and comments including
a recommendation that the Town Board proceed to a public hearing,
and
WHEREAS, the Warren County Planning Board has reviewed the
project and has consented to the Town Board of the Town of
Queensbury being the lead agent for SEQRA review purposes, and has
also approved the project, and
WHEREAS, in view of the foregoing, and in accordance with
§179-57 D. of the Code of the Town of Queensbury, the Town Board of
the Town of Queensbury desires to set a date for a public hearing
on the proposed Planned Unit Development,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury hereby
acknowledges that the applicant for the Planned Unit Development
has submitted a Part I Long Environmental Assessment Form and a
number of exhibits, and that as a result of previous notification
of agencies ascertained to be involved in the project, there is no
objection to the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury being lead
agent for purposes of SEQRA review, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, as lead agent for the SEQRA review process, the Town
Board of the Town of Queensbury hereby determines that it would be
appropriate to wait until after the public hearing in this matter,
prior to making any determination as to whether the project is
appropriately granted a positive or negative declaration, as the
Town Board feels that further information may, come forth at the
time of the public hearing, which would assist the Town Board in
making a determination with regard to SEQRA, and the Town Board
also notes that no action can be undertaken or commenced with
regard to the project, until such time as the Town Board shall
grant a Planned Unit Development status and that this cannot happen
until after a public hearing, and therefore, setting and holding
the public hearing prior to making the aforedescribed SEQRA
determination would not seem to commit the Town to granting a
permit or allowing the project, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury
determines that it shall hold a public hearing, at which time all
parties in interest and citizens shall have an opportunity to be
heard, upon and in reference to the proposed Planned Unit
Development identified in the preambles hereof, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the said public hearing shall be held on the
25th day of January, 1993, at 7:00 p.m., at the Queensbury
Activities Center, 531 Bay Road, Queensbury, Warren County, New
York, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Town Clerk of the Town of Queensbury is
hereby authorized and directed to give at least 10 days notice of
said public hearing by publishing the notice presented at this
meeting for purposes of publication in an official newspaper of the
Town and by posting on the Town bulletin board outside the Town
Clerk's Office said notice, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury hereby
authorizes and directs the Town Planning Department to ascertain a
list of the names and addresses of all property owners within 500'
of the area proposed to be legislated as a Planned Unit
Development, and arrange for a copy of the aforesaid notice to be
mailed to all said property owners a minimum of 15 days prior to
