Supervisor Stec-Opened meeting.
SHELTER PLANNING REPRESENTATIVES BOB MURRAY AND MARILYN
RYBA
Shelter Planning is requesting and alteration to their contract to include funding from the
Home Program to be released to the Town to help defer costs. Supervisor Stec asked for a
letter specifying what they are requesting regarding the amendment to the grant. Senior
Planner, Stuart Baker will get all the information to Pam Hunsinger so she can begin
drafting the resolution to amend their contract. In the meantime, if the Board has any
questions they should contact either Marilyn or Bob at Shelter Planning.
SWEET ROAD PUD APPLICATION
Cerrone Builders has asked the Board to consider request for PUD application off Sweet
Road. The property is currently zoned MDR. With current zoning, twenty-six units would
be allowed and they want to build thirty-one single family homes. Consultants of Cerrone
Builders explained layout and plans and even discussed the possibility of getting this
project certified under “green building standards” which would allow more homes in a
planned unit development. The Board explained that the proposed project would not meet
the criteria for a PUD. However, this may meet the criteria for a conservation
subdivision, which would come under the Planning Board jurisdiction. Consultants with
Cerrone Builders will be working with the Town Board to evaluate the Town’s sewer
capacity to see if there is enough capacity to service the proposed subdivision.
QUEENSBURY CENTRAL VOLUNTEER FIRE COMPANY CONTRACT
Representatives of the Queensbury Central Volunteer Fire Company spoke to the Board
regarding their proposal for a building renovation and expansion project. The Board
explained that they would be comfortable with replacing the roof, boiler system and
possibly other improvements but noted their concerns with such a large project during
these hard economic times. It was decided that a smaller project would be supported, with
a difference in cost going into a dedicated fund for future vehicle purchases or building
improvements. The Fire Company will look into the cost of completing the proposed
work in phases and how that would affect the overall cost. They also discussed a
resolution to approve the use of reserve funds to purchase a bush truck. The Chief
explained that they have $84,400 in the current vehicle fund, $10,000 would be used
from the non-firematic account and $17,600 would be taken out of operating budget.
Supervisor Stec asked Chief Duprey to email the Board those numbers as well as what
they will be replacing and what they are buying along with the purchase price. If the
Board gets the information in time there will be a resolution on for Monday, January 11,
2010 to approve the purchase of the bush truck.
