The Owner/Applicant, Native Development Assoc., LLC, (Tim Barber) is proposing site
improvements at their 24 Native Drive facility. The 33.37± Acre parcel (Tax Map Parcel ID: 380.20-1-
9.2) contains an existing 1-story, 117,000± SF commercial building with a parking lot for their
employee/visitor vehicles. The parcel is located within the Commercial Light Industrial (CLI) Zoning
District. The proposed site improvements are compatible with the current land use of the parcel and the
CLI Zoning District.
The original subdivision plan for this project was granted conditional preliminary and final
approval by the Town of Queensbury Planning Board at a public hearing held on June 16, 2020; a
negative SEQRA declaration was also granted. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 related setbacks, the
task of coordinating to satisfy all conditions have taken us past the sixty (60) day deadline to file at the
Warren County , necessitating a new review. In general, the enclosed plans are nearly the
same as they were presented back on June 16, 2020. The most significant change made to the current
plans was shortening the proposed cul-de-sac by approximately 50 feet; this was done at the request of
our geotechnical engineer, and serves to make the overall plan more harmonious with the natural
landscape.
The project includes the subdivision of the existing parcel into 5 lots with the following
approximate areas:
Lot 1: 11.15± AC
Lot 2: 1.86± AC
Lot 3: 8.41± AC
Lot 4: 7.14± AC
Lot 5: 3.77± AC
In addition to this, 1.04± AC will be dedicated to the Town as an extension of Native Drive.
Furthermore, the project includes conceptual development of two additions of 12,550± SF and 40,000±
SF to the existing 117,000± SF building, a 20,000 SF building, a 100,000 SF building, an 80,000 SF

building, and a 60,000 SF building, with associated utility connections, parking lots, access roads,
sitework, landscaping, lighting, and stormwater management areas. Development for each lot will be

The right of way of Native Drive will be extended to a cul-de-sac and dedicated to the Town.
New utility connections to the existing municipal water and sanitary sewer services located on Native
Drive will be required. The project will add increased demands on the existing water, sanitary sewer,
electric, gas, and telecommunications services in this area. Solid waste generation will increase, but will
be handled accordingly by the local solid waste haulers.
There will be no significant noise, visual, or drainage impacts on the surrounding adjoining
parcels for this project. A buffer will be provided along the rear properties buffering the adjoining
neighbors. The buffer will consist of a 6 high stockade fence. Additionally, the existing building will
remain in service during construction of the expansion. Additional vehicle traffic (trips) will be
generated, as a result of the new construction. However, an increase in new local jobs is great benefit to
the Queensbury community.
The Subdivision of lands, right of way and utility work will be completed as Phase 1. Overall
build out of the project will be constructed within eight (8) projected phases, over an estimated 3.5-year
time period. Once approved, construction will begin with the installation of temporary erosion control
facilities at the commencement of construction, then transitioning to site demolition/removals, utility
installation, building construction, parking lot construction, lighting, and landscaping for each new
building. More than 1.0 Acre soil disturbance will be disturbed during construction; as such, a SWPPP
and SMR are provided. On-site stormwater management areas will be provided to address the increased
impervious (pavement and rooftop) areas from the new building construction. There will be common
stormwater management basins, roadways, driveways and shared parking between all of the lots.
Reciprocal easements will be provided. The proposed stormwater practice consists of infiltration basins,
utilizing green infrastructure practices to recharge to groundwater. The overflows from the basins will
discharge into the wetlands, then directly to the Hudson River. All stormwater management areas and
temporary erosion and sediment control requirements during construction will meet the NYSDEC and
Town's regulations and guidelines.
