Mr. Roberts called the meeting to order at 4:00 p.m. and explained
that this meeting was a Map Amendment to Stone Gate Manor Subdivision

HEW BUSIRESS
SITE PLAN HO. 49-88
Glens Falls Kiwanis Club, Inc.
This application is for the division of Lot No. 16 of Stone Gate Manor
to be added to Lot No. 17, yielding l65 ft. x 219.99 ft. (equals 36,298.35
sq. ft.) for the construction of a house by the BOCES students. At pre-
sent the lot is vacant.
Representatives present:
Judge David Little
Kenneth Baker

President, Glens Falls Kiwanis
BOCES Team Leader
Judge Little explained that Lots l5, l6 and l7 in Stone Gate Manor
were originally purchased with the intention of constructing three resi-
dences by BOCES students. This type of project has been ongoing for
approximately ten years. In the development of the program last year, it
was felt that Lot l5 was not big enough to handle the house, therefore, an
application was made to build on Lot lS and one-half of Lot 16. The home
was constructed and the proceeds went to financially reimburse BOCES for
equipment and materials, and the remainder for charitable utilization.
When the Building Permit was applied for recently in 1988 to build on
the remaining one-half of Lot l6 and the entire Lot l7, the fact that an
alteration to an approved subdivision plot had been noticed. At the same
1
time, 21 BOCES students were put on hold with their school project, there-
fore, the reason for the Special Meeting.
Because of the division of Lot l6, there is an increase in the lot
size by 55 feet in width, over what was legitimate and allowed previously.
Mr. Roberts said that David Hatin, Building/Codes Supervisor. was uncom-
fortable in issuing a Building Permit, without Planning Board approval.
In addition, the Town Attorney requested a Public Hearing. Judge Little
stated that only a Building Permit was received in 1987, even with the
division of Lot 16.
Public Hearing: no comment

Judge Little explained to Mr. Macri that the lot that was subdivided
the middle of three lots. The construction does meet the sideyard set-
of 25 feet and all other setback requirements. Mr. Baker explained
when the time came to put the septic on the plot plan, lOO feet away
the pre-existing well that was on Lot l6, there was a choice of mov-
the well that was there or split the second lot, therefore, the reason
the split in Lot 16.
