The application is to knock down the existing house to the first level
and build a new structure on top at West Glen Lake, SFR-30. Applicant is
building a two-story, single family dwelling to be used on weekends and
for a few weeks in the Summer Season. Directions: Glen Lake, Glen Lake
Road to Birch Road to Chestnut Road.
Murray Forth is agent for the applicants and noted that the applica-
tion was Tabled at the 9/20/88 Planning Board Meeting for more information
regarding the well and septic systems. Jim Hutchins of Morse Engineering
explained that he reviewed the site. He stated that there is an existing
shallow well at the corner of the house and, based on the lot geometries
(50 ft. wide x l50 ft. deep). no semblance of a separation distance can be
maintained, therefore, the only alternative is a holding tank.
Mr. Kestner reviewed his lO/l3/88 letter (Exhibit B). In addition,
Mr. Kestner stated that he and the Building Department will be developing
Standards for this type of situation.
Public Hearing. no comment.
The applicant submitted the EAF form, showing no positive answers.
Mr. Forth advised the Board that there will be an alarm installed on
the tank.
Bob Corrigan: direct neighbor representing his mother.
Mr. Corrigan asked for plot plans, in order to determine what was to
be done on the property, elevations were important. because of the view.
He was also concerned about the 2000 gallon holding tank, which will be
placed between the house and garage. Mr. Corrigan was informed that neces-
sary information was presented to and approved by the Zoning Board of
Appeals on 10/28/88.
Cal Powers: neighbor to the North
Mr. Powers asked if the Planning Board had the authority to overrule
the Zoning Board of Appeals. Answer: Ho. He was concerned that the struc-
ture will be within seven feet of his property line.
Public Hearing Closed.
Mr. Macri moved APPROVAL of Site Plan No. 35-88, Thomas J. and
Marybeth T. Babcock. based on the recommendations by the Town Designated
Consultant/Engineer that the items regarding the holding tank be adhered
to, including the fact that the applicant agrees to have an alarm on the
tank.

Movin Movies, Inc.
The application is for a Video Store, retail space rentals and sales
ov video movies. at a location on Route 9, Upper Glen Street, PC-1A.
Directions: South on Route 9 towards Glens Falls. on the right hand side
just beyond the Grand Union.
Mr. John Nigro, owner of Glen Square, represented the project.
Mr. Roberts noted that this application was Tabled by the Planning
Board at the 9/20/88 meeting for redesign and more information; he also
mentioned that some of the items requested were not done. Mr. Nigro
reviewed comments by the Beautification Committee (Exhibit C).
Mr. Cartier discussed the minutes from the previous meeting, especial-
ly in regards to permeability and the removal of ten parking spaces on the
southeast side of the site. Mr. Nigro stated that, if the ten spaces were
removed, there would not be sufficient parking to support the volume of
the store; a concern which is shared by his tenant. Charles Mench. In
addition, he advised the Board that spaces around the shopping center do
not service the subject building. Mr. Nigro feels that the parking situa-
tion would be worse if the ten spaces were to be removed. Mrs. Mann dis-
agreed stating it is not safe to have vehicles backing into a roadway, and
that more business will be conducted at night when there will be fewer
customers in the shopping plaza.
Mr. Nigro explained that a California Company bought the Rustler Rest-
aurant approximately two years ago and elected, for geographic reasons, to
close the restaurant. It has taken Mr. Nigro almost two years to come to
an agreement with the Video Store. The major problem in securing a tenant
has been the proximity of parking to the building. Another Video Store
takes in over $l l/2 MM a year, there is nothing in this area that could
compare with the proposed store.
Mr. Cartier reiterated that a plan in compliance with the Town Ordin-
ance will have to be submitted, it must include 20% permeability.
Public Hearing - continued
Claude Charlebois: owner Glen Beverage (next door to the South).

'-
Mr. Charlebois stated that his parking lot was filled when the Rustler
Restaurant was in business, there is a shortage of parking spaces. He did
suggest that some cars could be parked in the area of the leach field, be-
cause it will be hooked up to the Town lines. Also, Glen Beverage custom-
ers will be deprived of parking spaces, if the proposed business has its
space allotment cut.
After further discussion regarding traffic, Mrs. Mann suggested a traf-
fic study, designated avenues with trees and curbs and properly channeled
traffic control. The entire site should be taken into consideration.
Mr. Kestner confirmed that the leach field will be abandoned, it is a
raised septic field - a mound system.
Mr. Nigro again stated that removing spaces just to put in green is
not a financial problem to him but, by taking the spaces away and adding
greenery just to get to a number, is a serious problem and a mistake for
the Town. Mr. Macri said the building is Mr. Nigro's problem, the Town's
problem is permeability and safety for the public.
Charles Mench, tenant, stated that another Video Store averages 100
people/hour; seven days/week, 365 days/year. Hours are 10:00 am - ll:OO
pm. Rental is $2.00 - $2.50/night.
Public HeariDg Closed
Mr. Roberts felt that clarification of the Site Plan is needed in re-
gards to the 8+ acres, permeability and parking. He also requested a traf-
fic study. as the Board has not been convinced that the proposed parking
is necessary.
Mr. Nigro and the Planning Board agreed to TABLE Site Plan No. 38-88,
Empire Video Superstore. as more information on the entire parcel is justi-
fied.
Quentin Kestner, Town Designated Consultant/Engineer, confirmed to Mr.
Roberts that he would become involved in the application.

(Note: Application was Tabled at the 9/27/88 Planning Board meeting
for more information regarding the sep~ic system.)
Wayne Viele, Do-Awl Construction, is agent for the applicants, who
presented an evaluation of the septic system by Raymond Buckley, P.E.
(Exhibit D). Mr. Buckley noted no malfunction of the system and he has
prepared a plan showing the possibility of constructing a system that
would conform to the Town Sanitary Ordinance. Mr. Viele stated that the
septic and well would be kept on one parcel; Lot l7 will not be utilized.
The present well has to be abandoned; Mr. Viele did not know where the new
well will be put. The lot is pre-existing, non-conforming.
Charles Mouzalas. owner, stated that the lots could not be subdivided
to sell one, because of the layout of the patio. Lots l7 and 18 measure
84 ft. x l22 ft. Although the lots are listed separately, they are under
one ownership.
Regarding setback for septic tanks, Mr. Dusek stated that the Sewerage
Disposal Ordinance requires that septic tanks must be a minimum of lO feet
from the dwelling and lO feet from the property line.
In answer to Mr. Dybas' concern of getting lOO ft. from the well, Mr.
Mouzalas said there was enough room from the lake and the road, put the
well by the lake and measure lOO ft. on a diagonal. The residence has a
minimum use, summer and occasional weekends.
Mr. Kestner said he would have to inspect the proposed seepage pits;
the soil information only goes down 30 inches. he wants to see what is at
the bottom of the pit, because that is where the sewage will go. He felt
the application cannot be approved because regulations require a deep hole
to the depth or below the bottom of the seepage pit. In addition. he
wants to review the mean high ground water table on the lake. as there is
a possibility the setback might have to be 200 feet. Mr. Kestner stated
that the design does not meet regulations, in addition, the well should be
shown on the plan before approval.
If necessary, Mr. Mouzalas said he would use a holding tank instead of
a septic system.
Mr. Kestner stated he would get together with Ray Buckley.

garage. He is under contract to sell a portion of the land to John
Cifone.
Mr. Roberts expressed concern about the availability of a spot level
enough on which to have a septic system. Mr. Kestner discussed his letter

Dix Avenue Industrial Park
Claude Charlebois
The application is for the subdivision of 35.46± acres into l3 lots at
the intersection of Quaker Road and Dix Avenue extending southerly to
Warren Street; PC-lA. HI-3A, HC-15.
George Zurlo, Attorney. and Paul Male of C. T. Male represented the
project. An attempt with the property is to add an adjunct to the Queens-
bury Economic Development Corporation parcel located directly to the west
and adjoins at that area. The Queensbury Development area has had proper-
ty for projected development with lots somewhat in excess of one (l) acre.
In the initial stage of the Dix Avenue Industrial Park. there are two lots
in excess of one (l) acre and one parcel on Dix Avenue in excess of three
(3) acres.
In relation to the parcel itself, there is frontage on Quaker Road,
Dix Avenue, Highland Avenue, and Warren Street. Regarding the parcel
sitting on Quaker Road, the present classification is Plaza Commercial;
this is the use with which the applicants would like to follow through.
Services provided would be drug store, office supplies, therefore dis-
couraging people to have to travel a distance. with accesses as follows:
one on Warren Street, one Dix Avenue and one access on Highland Avenue.
There will be no road cut onto Quaker Road. There is a designated cross-
ing over Hiagara Mohawk property, land under the power line will not be
used other than there will be a deeded access.
Mr. Zurlo also commented there will be an extension of the water and
sewer district.
When the application was submitted, the zoning was for Heavy Indus-
trial 3A, however, the applicants would prefer the new zoning of Light
Industrial 1A. Mr. Roberts felt that the Board would be willing to
promote that idea. Plaza Commercial is preferred for the front parcel.
Mr. Zurlo acknowledged to Mr. Roberts that the primary intent at this
meeting is Sketch Plan Review. As individual lots are sold off, those
applications would come back for Site Plan Approval. He also noted a
9
-
correction on Page 2 of the Application, Item l3. Plaza Commercial acre-
age is approximately l4.80±, not 19.80± acres, Light Industrial acreage is
approximately l6.62±, not 1l.62±, the Road Right-of-Way remains at 4.04±
acres.
The Planning Department has no problem with the concept. Development
time for the project is approximately three (3) years. There was some
discussion about making this application into a PUD; however, Mr. Dusek
reminded the Board that a PUD is primarily residential in nature, supple-
mented with the correct mix of commercial, etc. Legal steps will also
have to be taken regarding changes in zoning. Mr. Dusek advised that
there could be Conceptual Approval, subject to any stated conditions.

Mr. Kestner reviewed his letter of 10/14/88 (Exhibit H), regarding the
that the plan shows no facilities for water supply, sewage collection
treatment, or stormwater management. Mr. Male confirmed that the bulk
the sanitary sewer service would be down Warren Street; however, some
go to the Queensbury Technical Park. A sewer district would have to
form. Mr. Kestner stated he is trying to find out what the arrangement
with the City and if any restrictions existed on the facilities.
Public Hearing: no comment.
Mrs. Mann moved APPROVAL of Major Commercial Subdivision No. 88-1,

applicant either demonstrate or modify the application so that it conforms
with the existing zoning regulations or make some effort to change zoning
regulations to conform with the project. Water and sewerage district must
be applied for or some form be demonstrated that it will be available to
the project before the Preliminary Application.
A letter is to be sent to the Town Board from the Planning Board re-
questing consideration of the application and recommendation of the fol-
lowing: l) the establishment of a sewer district in the general areal and
2) rezoning of Heavy Industrial to Light Industrial, particularly in light

Northeastern Data Processing
Frank C. Coviello
The
contain
application is
all operations
for the construction of a commercial building to
of Northeastern Data processing. Inc., a computer
10
software manufacturer and data processing firm in Queensbury Technical
Park, Dix Avenue, LI-1A.
Mr. Fred Champagne, representative of the Queensbury Industrial Park,
explained that the purpose at this meeting was to review the plan of
Northeastern Data Processing (hereafter NDP) and, as a member of the
Queensbury Economic Development Corporation, he supports the plan. If the
plan is approved, HDP would be the first tenant of the Technical Park.
The location of HDP is immediately off Dix Avenue into the Boulevard and
then immediately to the left (easterly direction off Dix Avenue). There-
fore, the site would border Dix Avenue and the Boulevard.
Frank Coviello, President of NDP, explained that he started the busin-
ess II years ago. There are two divisions: Data Processing (performs serv-
ices), and the development and manufacture of computer software. Present-
ly NDP is located in Quaker Village, and within the last six years has out-
grown three separate spots, now it is practical for the company to have
its own building. The building has been designed so it can be grown into;
it is hoped that the firm will double in size within the next two years.
The building is two stories, and the exterior is insulated plastic
veneer with much glass and many windows, across the front is a planter.
The front of the building faces away from Dix Avenue, the rear of the
building is -kitty-corner- towards Dix Avenue and the Technical Park.
Currently there are l2 employees. Present plans are to short-term
lease part of the building, as the company grows, the building will be
solely for HDP. Mr. Kestner stated he visited the site and talked to the
Park Engineer, Frank Walter (Exhibit I); in addition, he said there is no
storm water management plan. As the park develops, they will be taking
over more, right now it is a large open area. Advantage should be taken
of the central storm drainage system installed, and any future tenants
should get involved so the drainage problem does not go from one to an-
other. There is a catch basin system which connects to a central drainage
way that runs north/south into an existing drainage way. Frank Walter
engineered the storm water system. As areas develop, they tend to have
large parking spaces and planners must be sure that the storm drainage
does not become a problem to the development. The system for this partic-
ular area runs down the road. so it is available to the tenants.
Presently the subject property is 75% permeable, with the parking lot
and building. There was discussion as to whether this was a professional
office, which would require one parking space/lOO square feet. or 44
spaces for a 4400 square foot building. If the business is considered
industrial, there would be one parking space/two employees. Mr. Dusek
advised that there has to be clarification as to the structure and the
zone.

Software is developed that goes on the diskette, documentation is written

covers lawyers, architects, surveyors. engineers. musicians, real estate
brokers, accounting. It is a business where clientele come in and be serv-
iced. NDP is in a Light Industrial area and is the type of business re-

After considerable discussion, Mr. Macri still felt that the structure

and payrolls are processed. Mr. Coviello stated that 90' of the work in
the Data processing Division is processing payrolls; the division is a
service bureau.
Mr. Cartier requested that there be no trees planted in land held in
abeyance for parking, presently there are four proposed trees in that
area. Beautification Committee approved with conditions (Exhibit J). Two
handicapped parking spaces will be available.
Public Bearings no comment.
Mr. Champagne requested that, in order to get construction underway be-

quality approved, there are many prospective tenants looking at the park
in terms of the Spring season. It would be very disappointing not to be
able to go ahead with the project.

* Prior to Mr. Macri's vote, he stated his opinion that the Board is not

Other applicants previously and most recently have been sent back for

--
Storm Water Plan preparation, before the project was approved. He
does not agree with the assessment of the building. This application
should be treated the same as other applications.
Mr. Kestner explained that what the Board is requiring is what is done
for subdivisions and site plans, namely, calculation of the effect of
building drainage and pavement on lO to 20 years storm, and then attend to
that in terms of tension basin or storm water digits or whatever is appro-
priate for the site and situation of the soil. The plans are prepared by
a Licensed Engineer. who calculates and shows how the site will be amen-
able from storm water standpoint. In this particular case, since the
storm water is in the ground, the applicant will show how it will be util-
ized. That is what all applicants are required to do.
* Mr. Cartier agreed with Mr. Macri, there are points being talked about
that are not on paper, and he wants to see a finished application.
* Mr. Dybas felt that the project is good. but it is necessary to be con-
sistent with all persons coming before the Board.
James LaPann, Attorney for the Queensbury Economic Development Corpor-
ation, requested that, due to time limitations, the -no- vote be withdrawn
so the application could be Tabled. The concerns of those Planning Board
members who voted -no- were that the application is incomplete. The appli-
cants are prepared to complete the application, and they want to move for-
ward. There are no major problems, there is a storm water system in
effect, there is space for parking.
Mr. Dusek advised the Board that the first step would be to make a
motion to reconsider the question; the second step would be to rescind the
Denial and then Table the application.

RE: Thomas and Marybeth Babcock - Site Plan No. 35-88
Dear Ms. York:
I have been asked to comment on the installation of a holding
tank on the subj ect property to serve as a sewage disposal
system for a weekend and occasional Swnmer use residential
unit on Glen Lake.
As explained, the existing building is to be removed and a
slightly larger residential unit is to be constructed.
Existing requirements for on-site disposal systems proclude
the use of any other system except a holding tank.
Appendix B, Page 20, of the Town Sanitary Sewage Disposal
Ordinance indicates that holding tanks are an acceptable
alternative where soil conditions and proximity to a lake
prohibit conventional subsurface disposal systems. The
proposed 2,000 gallon tank would' provide approximately one
week of capacity for a family of three under average
conditions. Water conservation and restricted use, such as no
clothes washers, would extend capacity even further.
In consideration of the proposed use and acceptability by
ordinance, I would recommend acceptance of the plan as shown
on Drawing No.1, dated October 6, 1988, by Morse Engineers
and entitled, "Murray Forth".

The applicant should be advised that any approval or

under no circumstances is the tank to be modified for use as a

The conclusion of the Committee was that the percent permeable was
adequate (5,000 sq. ft. store plus paved parking vs. 50'xlOO' = 5,000 sq.
ft. plus planted area surrounding building).
The Committee's suggestion for parking was that parking on the
northerly side (toward the bank) have the spaces either perpendicular to
the building or slant toward Upper Glen Street. Parking on the blueprint
had the spaces slanted away from the highway. Also, eliminate the first
four parking spaces so as to provide an uninterupted view of the building
and the green space in front.

The 'wishing well' in front will be eliminated shortly when hookups

Plants surrounding the building and grass in front (which will be
extended into the eliminated parking spaces) are adequate, but, possibly
additional plantings will be made.

Re: Inspection of sewage system - North Sunnyside Road
Dear Charles,
I have' inspected the septic system at your Sunnyside Lake
residence. I see no evidence of any malfunction of this system.
I have prepared a plan showing that it would be possible to
construct a system on your property that would conform to the
current Town of Queensbury Sanitary Ordinance. Please note that
although this system could be constructed it would be very
expensive s~nce it would require abandonment of your existing
drilled well and replacing the well in an area where it would be
quite expensive to operate a drilling machine.

RE: Preliminary - Hiland Park Corporation's Restaurant
and Clubhouse Facility - Site Plan No. 51-88
Dear Ms. York:
I have been asked to comment on the subject project with
special attention to water supply, wastewater disposal, and
storm-water management. In reviewing this site plan,
reference is made to Drawing Nos. L-1, L-2A & B, L-3A & B,
L-4A & B, and L-SA & B¡ and additionally, the Storm-Water
Management Report, dated September 1988, all performed by the
LA Group, ,P.C.
The water service for the facility will be from the approved
facilities of the Hiland Park Water District which is served
by the Queensbury Water Storage and Distribution District. A
6" diameter ductile iron distribution line from the
transmission facilities along Haviland Road will be tapped at
two locations, one service to the restaurant and one to the
clubhouse. Each service will be .individually metered. This
arrangement is satisfactory to the Queensbury Water
Department. These 2" copper services should provide adequate
service to the proposed facilities.
I have been advised that a separate 6" tap will be made to
service the in-house sprinkler systems. Details on this will
be furnished by Hiland Park Corporation.
Three on-site hydrants, owned and operated by Hiland Park
Corporation, are tapped into the 6" line which runs across the
front of the building and into the west parking lot.

Based on the above, water service to the facilities are
considered adequate.
The proposed restaurant will be served by the facilities of
the previously approved Hiland Park Sewer District. Two 8"
laterals will tie into an existing 8" PVC collector sewer. It
is suggested that each tie-in be made with 4' diameter
manholes.
A combination grease-trap, garbage-grinder system will be
installed upstream from each lateral and details of this
system s}:lould be submitted to the Queensbury Department of
Wastewater prior to hookup.
The storm-water management plan for the entire planned unit
development has been previously approved and the storm-water
collection system for these facilities will discharge to these
approved facilities. As protrayed, storm water is collected
by a series of catch basins and storm sewers to existing
culverts and then held in a series of detention ponds located
on the Project Golf Course.
I would note that the parking spaces are indicated on Sheet
No. L-2 as 9' -0" wide as opposed to the required 10' wide
space per Section 7.071, Page 94.
Based on the above, I would recommend approval
referenced project facilities for water supply,
treatment, and storm-water management.

Re: Hiland Park Inc., Restaurant and Banquet Building
Gentlemen:
I have met with Mr. Jim Bowen on October 12th to review the plans
for the Restaurant and Banquet building. At this meeting he told
me of the change in the size of the water line from 6" to 8"
coming off the main 12" line. This will give us a greater volume
of water for fire fighting for this building and future
buildings. We also discussed the building construction and
sprinkler system. Mr. Bowen agreed to move the hydrant on the
Southeast side of the building to within 5 feet of driveway. I
approved of the plans and the changes as shown to me.

RE: Charles Kice - Subdivision No. 5-88
Dear Ms. York:
I have been asked to comment on the subject subdivison's water
supply, sewage disposal system, and storm drainage.
1. A September 20, 1988, letter from Consultant Raymond
Buckley indicates a soil percolation rate of four
(4) minutes/inch. The septic area is shown within
ten (10) feet of the proposed house. I would note
that the ordinance requires a twenty (20) foot
separation between absorption fields and dwellings.
2. A well is indicated for domestic water. Because of
the rapid absorption qualities of the soil, I would
require the well to be placed at least the necessary
100 feet from any absorption field; and I would
suggest a separation of 200 feet.
3. No significant impâct from storm water runoff is
suggested from the limited scope of work indicated
by single-family residential construction.

Dear Ms. York:
I have reviewed Drawing Nos. 1 and 2 for the Northeastern Data
Processing (NDP) Offices, dated September 20, 1988, and the
application for the proposed offices of NDP.
Yesterday I called the Town Water Department and Consultant
Frank Walter, P.E., who was the Engineer for the Park. This
morning I made a field visit to the site.
The site is served from the facilities of the Queensbury Water
Storage and Distribution District and a hydrant is located
just north of the proposed entrance. Accordingly, the water
supply to the facility should be adequate.
Sanitary sewer lines have been installed to service the
technical park, and the sanitary sewer manhole for the
connection is located approxima~ely 50 I south of the fire
hydrant. I have been advised that this sewer line connects
with the facilities of the City of Glens Falls. Accordingly,
sanitary sewer service appears ·adequate.
No storm-management
facilities have been
located approximately
within approximately
plan with calculations and proposed
shown. A storm-water catch basin is
180' south of the fire hydrant and
60 I of the property line.
