SECONDED BY: Mr. Harrison Freer
WHEREAS, the Town of Queensbury is in receipt of a Site Plan Review Application and
Short Environmental Assessment Form relating to Planning Board Site Plan Application 35-2021
submitted by Chris Racicot concerning the proposed construction of Newcomb Street Townhouses, a
14 unit two story townhouse building on 1.04 acres located at 20 Newcomb Street (the “Project”), and

sewer agreement, and
WHEREAS, the Town Planning Board has identified the Project to be an Unlisted Action for
purposes of State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) and is the Agency most directly
responsible for approving the Action because of the Planning Board’s responsibility for approving land
uses for the property and is the official Agency in this instance to review environmental assessment
concerns within the Town and therefore has concluded that it is the most Involved Agency and should
be Lead Agency for the purposes of SEQRA review, and
WHEREAS, the Planning Board has accordingly notified the Town Board that the Planning
Board is seeking Lead Agency status in accordance with SEQRA and has requested that the Town
Board consent to the Planning Board being designated as Lead Agency, and
WHEREAS, the Town Board wishes to provide such consent,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that the Queensbury Town Board hereby authorizes, directs and consents to the
Planning Board acting as Lead Agency for SEQRA review of Planning Board Site Plan Application
35-2021 submitted by Chris Racicot concerning the proposed construction of Newcomb Street
Townhouses, a 14 unit two story townhouse building on 1.04 acres located at 20 Newcomb Street as

execute such consent and take any other necessary actions to effectuate the terms of this Resolution
and further authorizes and directs the Town’s Department of Community Development to notify any
other involved agencies of this determination.
