Chazen Project#92100.44
Queensbury Ref#SP58-2021
Dear Mr. Brown:
The Chazen Companies (Chazen) has received a submission package from your office for the above referenced
project. The Applicant is proposing the renovation of an existing single-family home. Submitted information
includes the following:
• Site Plans, prepared by Environmental Design Partnership, LLP, revision dated August 30,2021;
• Architectural Plans, prepared by Williams&Williams Designers, dated August 30, 2020;
• Septic Certification Letter,dated August 27,2021;
• Deed, recording date of August 31, 2016;and
• Site Plan Review Application,dated August 30, 2021.
Your office has requested that we limit our review to the design of stormwater system as it relates to compliance
of local,state,or relevant codes and regulations. Based upon our review,the Application appears to be exempt
from Town Code section 147-11 by exemption 2,development less than 5,000 square feet and new impervious
less than 1,000 square feet.Considering this,our office does not need to review any future submissions by the
applicant unless, of course, the Town prefers us to. Chazen offers the following comments for the Town's
consideration:
Stormwater Management and Erosion and Sediment Control Comments
1. According to the site plan review application,the proposed site improvements will disturb less than one(1)
acre and thus the project is not required to obtain coverage under the NYSDEC SPDES General Permit for
Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activity(GP-0-20-001).The Applicant is proposing 4,000 square
feet of land disturbance,with the creation of 150 square feet of new impervious surface.According to Town
Code section 147-11.1)(2), "development involving land disturbance and land clearing of less than 5,000
square feet which does not result in the creation of new impervious surfaces of more than 1,000 square
feet" is an activity which is exempt from the requirements of 147-11. As such, the project appears to be
exempt from 147-11 of the Town Code.

2. The Applicant does not depict neighboring wells or septic absorption areas. The Applicant should achieve
20 feet separation between infiltration devices and septic absorption fields, and the maximum attainable
horizontal separation distance between wells to stormwater practices.
3. The Applicant should revise the silt fence detail provided to match the latest specifications provided in the
NYS Standards and Specifications for Erosion and Sediment Control, to include the slope length/ fence
length spacing requirements.
4. Erosion and sediment controls typically utilized during construction (i.e., concrete washout) should be
included on the erosion and sediment control plan. ESCs should be detailed,and shown in plan view.

In the event the Planning Board or Town staff have any questions or require additional information, please do

Re: McDevitt Residence—32 North Lane—Area Variance Review
Summary Narrative
Based on comments and feedback from the Town Planning Board (9/21) and Zoning Board of
Appeals (9/22)the proposal for the addition to the McDevitt Residence has been revised to reduce
the variance requests. The previously planned full height basement shall now be a crawl space.
Additionally, it was determined that the setback dimensions were incorrect in the previous
submission and updating those values has eliminated one rear yard setback variance and reduced
the other one by one foot.
The current revised project seeks to expand an existing 2,721 Sq. Ft. one-and-a-half story single
family residence by 714 Sq. Ft. to a new total of 3,435 Sq. Ft. The additional space includes a first-
floor great room (320 Sq. Ft.), first-floor screened porch (128 Sq. Ft.) and a second-floor office (266
Sq. Ft.). The addition is intended to enable single-story living for the applicants. The following
outlines the applicant's variance requests.
• Floor Area Ratio (FAR): The existing home has an FAR of 24% where 22% is required by
code, making the structure pre-existing non-conforming. The proposed addition would
increase FAR to 30% and therefore the applicant seeks an 8% relaxation. This request has
been reduced from the 12% shown in the previously submitted proposal.
• Setback: The existing deck is 25 feet from the rear property line where the required setback
is 30 feet. As part of this plan, the deck would be removed and the addition would be
constructed in its place reducing the setback to 21 feet. It is worth noting that a large
undeveloped property borders the site along this boundary
• Permeability: The existing site permeability is 73.47% where 75% is required and the
proposed addition would reduce permeability to 72.14% based on the footprint of the
addition. A stormwater management area will be constructed to receive runoff from the
proposed addition as well as some of the existing roof which shall improve the site's overall
stormwater management.
It is with these changes that the applicant respectfully requests that the Board reconsider this project
which, in general, shall promote year-round living and enable Queensbury residents to age in place.

Resolutions
1. n/a for discussion
Project Description
Applicant requests a discussion for a proposal to develop an 11 acre site with 77 multi-family units; 19
buildings with 4 units per building. The project will be associated with a petition of zone change for the existing
parcel to be changed from CI to MDR zoning. Additionally, there is code language to be added to the use table.
The project would be then subject to a site plan review for multi-family dwelling project in the MDR zone.
Pursuant to Chapter 179-9-040 of the Zoning Ordinance, discussion items can be presented to the Planning
Board.
Staff Comments
The applicant proposes to remove the existing Mead's garden center to construct a multi-family project and
walking areas. The project would require a Petition of Zone Change from Commercial Intensive to Moderate
Density Residential. The number of proposed units may require a variance where the applicant has proposed
additional wording that required certain site/location requirements to allow additional density. The applicant is
working with Staff to provide Petition of Zone change and Site Plan and other review requirements.
