Frequent- ly, there are aspects of a project that are subjective or unmeasureable. It is also understood that those who determine significance may have little or no formal knowledge of the environment or may not be technically expert in environmental analysis. In addition, many who have knowledge in one particular area may not be aware of the broader concerns affecting the question of significance. The full EAF is intended to provide a method whereby applicants and agencies can be assured that the determination process has been orderly, comprehensive in nature,yetflexible enough to allow introduction of information to fit a project or action. Full EAT Components: The full EAF is comprised of three parts: Part 1: Provides objective data and information about a given project and its site. By identifying basic project • data, it assists a reviewer in the analysis that takes place in Parts 2 and 3. Part 2: Focuses on identifying the range of possible impacts that may occur from a project or action. It provides guidance as to whether an impact is likely to be considered small to moderate or whether it is a potentially- large impact. The form also identifies whether an impact can be mitigated or reduced. Part 3: If any impact in Part 2 is identified as potentially-large, then Part 3 is used to evaluate whether or not the impact is actually important. DETERMINATION OF SIGNIFICANCE—Type 1 and Unlisted Actions Identify the Portions of EAF completed for this project: ❑ Part 1 ❑ Part 2 ❑Part 3 Upon review of the information recorded on this EAF (Parts 1 and 2 and 3 if appropriate), and any other supporting information, and considering both the magnitude and importance of each impact, it is reasonably determined by the lead agency that: ❑ A. The project will not result in any large and important impact(s) and herefore, is one which will not have a significant impact on the environment, therefore a negative at' will be prepared. ❑ B. Although the project could have a significant effect on the environmen �wi yig gficznt effect for this Unlisted Action because the mitigation measures described in PART be n require," therefore a CONDITIONED negative declaration will be prepared.* ❑ C. The project may result in one or more large and important impacts that may have a significant imp= on the environment, therefore a positive declaration will be prepared.

Zoning Board of Appeals— Record of Resolution Town of Queensbury 742 Bay Road Queensbury,NY 12804 (518) 761-8238 Continued resolution AV 19-2003, Hoffman Dev. Corp. ZBA Meeting: Wed., March 19, 2003 relief from the 40 foot minimum requirement for frontage on public roads from Section 179-4- 090(A), and for 65 feet of relief from the 440 foot requirement for moderate and peak hour trips per Section 179-19-010(C). Benefit to the applicant, they would be permitted to construct the desired structure and develop the vacant parcel as proposed, and there really are no feasible alternatives. The 40 feet of relief is basically interpreted as substantial, but we're minimizing to that because, due to the fact that the NiMo power line is located out front, and the 65 feet of relief from the 440 foot minimum driveway spacing requirement can be interpreted as minimal. It's only 14.8%. Effects on the neighborhood will probably be positive as a result of this building, and the easement has been granted from Niagara Mohawk so as far as we're concerned it's a go. Duly adopted this 19`h day of March, 2003, by the following vote: AYES: Mr. Urrico, Mr. Underwood, Mr. Himes, Mr. McNulty, Mr. Hayes NOES: NONE ABSENT: Mr. Abbate, Mr. Bryant Sincerely, Lewis N.

Simpson, Senior Vice President Hoffman Development Corporation 1757 Central Avenue Albany,NY 12205 Re: Hoffman's Car Wash/Jiffy Lube Quaker Road,Town of Queensbury Dear Mr. Simpson:, The following summarizes our professional opinion regarding potential traffic-related impacts associated with the . subject project. The new facility will be located on the north side of Quaker Road in the town of Queensbury,New York directly adjacent to and east of the existing Lowe's/Applebee's shopping center. It will consist of an automatic car wash, a three bay self-service car wash, a three bay quick lube facility and a three bay laser-type car wash. Quaker Road is a four-lane suburban arterial. Development in the area is typical of suburban commercial development. Relative to traffic-related impacts of the facility on adjacent roadways, it is important to note that neither a car wash nor a quick lube shop are significant trip generators. This is most clearly indicated by the very limited amount of data on these types of facilities included in even the latest edition of the Institute of Traffic Engineers' Trip Generation Manual (6"Edition). Car washes and quick lube shops are seldom a destination in and of themselves. Trips to these types of facilities are usually combined with other trips to primary destinations nearby. Many trips in and out are based on spur of the moment decisions made as one is driving by such a facility. The majority of vehicles pulling in would have already been in the traffic stream of the adjacent roadway. No adverse impacts are expected for Quaker Road or the Quaker Road/Bay Road intersection as a result of this project. • The specific location proposed for this project is well suited for such a commercial land use. The internal site layout proposed is very similar to that used with great success at other Hoffman locations throughout the Capital District. It provides for a good internal flow of traffic, as well as substantial vehicle storage to prevent any interruptions to Quaker Road. Should you need any further assistance in this regard, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned. Sincerely, URS Corporation Michael K.

Please be advised the National Grid USA Service Company,Inc. is reviewing our easement request,as previously stated. (See enclosure 1) 2. With respect to the expected PHT numbers as previously communicated, we offer the following breakdown. As company engineer for Hoffman Development Corp. for the past 25 years plus, and being involved in the design, building and operations of our 30 some facilities, I offer the following. The anticipated maximum number of car per hour that the proposed facility can handle is: Exterior Car Wash 120 Laser Car Wash 18 Jiffy Lube 24 Self Service Car Wash 36 Total 198 These figures are used because the Institute of Traffic Engineers, Trip Generation Manual (6th Edition)does not provide sufficient data on these types of facilities. (See enclosure 2) 1757 Central Avenue,Albany,NY 12205 Phone: 518-869-3218 www.ho9'manearwash.com Fax: 518-869-3574 i This total PHT number of 08 would rarely, if ever, occur because each portion of this facility peaks at different times due to the following factors: The exterior wash is busier in the winter than the summer The lube is busier in the summer than the winter The Self-Service wash is affected by wind and cold As it gets windier and colder, PHT decrease The Laser wash is additionally affected by the cold. For the washes to run at peak rates, many factors have to take place including: The weather must be good, no rain or snow Roads must be dry, Many cars must dirty or salty The three to five day forecast must be good The hour of the day The day of the week The time of the year Additionally it should be noted that the PHT for our locations plot out like a bell shaped curve, with lower numbers in the morning and late afternoon and higher numbers at midday. This means that our peak traffic counts do not occur at the same times as the peak AM and PM commuting traffic counts occur on Quaker Road. (7 to 9 AM and 4 to 6 PM), (see enclosure 3) Should you need any further information, please contact me. Sincerely 3� s William J.
