§ 179-9-080 Requirements for Site Plan Approval.
The Planning Board shall not approve a Site Plan unless it first determines that such site plan meets the
following Standards. Please prepare responses to each of the following topics:
SEE ATTACHED
STANDARDS
A The proposed project farthers or is consistent with the policies of the Town's Comprehensive Plan.
B. The proposed project complies with all other requirements of this Chapter,including the site plan review standards as set forth in Paragraph
F of this section,the dimensional,bulk and density regulations of the zoning district in which it is proposed to be located(Article 3 and
Table 1),the applicable requirements of all other Articles that apply.
C. The site plan encourages pedestrian activity internally and,if practicable,to and from the site with pedestrian paths or sidewalks connected
to adjacent areas.
D. The site plan must conform to Chapter 136 Sewage and Sewage Disposal,Chapter 147 Stormwater Management Local Law,and other
applicable local laws.
E. The proposed use shall be in harmony with the general purpose or intent of this Chapter,specifically taking into account the location,
character and size of the proposed use and the description and purpose of the district in which such use is proposed,the nature and intensity
of the activities to be involved in or conducted in connection with the proposed use and the nature and rate of any increase in the burden on
supporting public services and facilities which will follow the approval of the proposed use.
F. The establishment,maintenance and operation of the proposed use will not create public hazards from traffic,traffic congestion or the
parking of vehicles and/or equipment or be otherwise detrimental to the health,safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in
the neighborhood or to the general welfare of the town. Traffic access and circulation,road intersections,road and driveway widths and
traffic controls will be adequate.
G. Off-street parking and 19oading facilities will be appropriately located and arranged and sufficient to meet traffic anticipated to be generated
by the new use. The establishment of vehicle links between parking areas of adjacent properties are provided where feasible. This fitrthers
the Town's goal of reducing curb cuts and reducing congestion. A twenty-foot wide connection is required. If adjacent properties are either
undeveloped or previously developed without having made provision for future linkage,then a future connection must be identified and
provided for in the site plan under review for such future linkage when the time arises. The Planning Board may require proof that the
applicant has made contact with adjacent property owners for purposes of coordinating linkages with adjacent properties.
H. The project shall not have an undue adverse impact upon the natural,scenic,aesthetic,ecological,wildlife,historic,recreational or open
space resources of the town or the Adirondack Park or upon the adequate provision of supporting facilities and services made necessary by
the project,taking into account the commercial,industrial,residential,recreational or other benefits that might be derived from the project.
In making the determination hereunder,the Planning Board shall consider those factors pertinent to the project contained in the
development considerations set forth herein under§ 179-9-080 of this Chapter,and in so doing,the Planning Board shall make a net overall
evaluation of the project in relation to the development objectives and general guidelines set forth in§ 179-9-080 of this Article.
I The provision for and arrangement of pedestrian traffic access and circulation,walkway structures,control of intersections with vehicular
traffic and overall pedestrian convenience shall be safe and adequate for pedestrian movement. Pedestrian connections between adjacent
sites shall be provided to encourage pedestrian use.
J. Stormwater drainage facilities will prevent an increase of post development drainage flows as compared to pre-development drainage flows.
Drainage of the site shall recharge ground water to the extent practical. Surface waters flowing off-site shall not degrade any streams or
adversely affect drainage on adjacent properties or public roads. Facilities shall be in conformance with the drainage standards of Chapter
147 of the Town Code and the Town of Queensbury Subdivision Regulations where applicable.
K. The water supply and sewage disposal facilities will be adequate and will meet all applicable and current requirements set forth by
Department of Health regulations and Chapter 136 of the Town Code.
L The adequacy,type and arrangement of trees,shrubs and other suitable plantings,landscaping and screening shall effectively provide a
visual and/or noise buffer between the applicants and adjoining lands,including the maximum retention of existing vegetation and
maintenance,including replacement of dead or deceased plants.
M Fire lanes,emergency zones and fire hydrants will be adequate and meet the needs and requirements of emergency service providers.
N. The design of structures,roadways and landscaping in areas susceptible to ponding,flooding and/or erosion will minimize or avoid such
impacts to the maximum extent practicable.
0. The site plan conforms to the design standards,landscaping standards and performance standards of this chapter.

PARK ENTRANCE IMPROVEMENTS
SITE PLAN REVIEW
PROJECT NARRATIVE
December 14,2021
§179-9-080 STANDARD QUESTIONS A-O
A. The Great Escape & Splashwater Kingdom ("Great Escape") has been in existence and
operation for decades and is located within the Route 9 North Commercial Corridor. The
Great Escape property is presently zoned Recreational Commercial. Fitting in with a
significant goal enumerated in the Town of Queensbury's Comprehensive Land Use Plan
(the desire for pedestrian-friendly development), and the 2001 Great Escape Generic
Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS), the Great Escape is very pedestrian friendly.
Access throughout the park is predominantly via walking. The proposed Park Entrance
Improvements including new metal detector building and ticket building project provides
a more user friendly and efficient entrance for guests/visitors to the Great Escape.
B. The proposed park entrance improvements are consistent with the existing development
within the Great Escape Theme Park. Placement of this new Attraction complies with
requirements of the 2001 GEIS, as well as the dimensional, bulk, and density regulations
for the Recreational Commercial zone unless otherwise noted below.
C. Access throughout the Great Escape is via walking. There are pedestrian sidewalks along
both sides of Route 9, as well as a pedestrian bridge crossing Route 9 to allow for safe
pedestrian access into and out of the park.
D. The entire Great Escape Theme Park is tied to the Queensbury Municipal water system
and sanitary sewer system. No additional water or sewer connections will be required as
part of this Project.
E. The size, character, color, and location of the proposed improvements complies with the
existing GEIS and the July 11,2001 Findings Statement(the "2001 Findings") including the
height criteria. Additional information is provided within the submission materials.
F. Per the GEIS and the 2001 Findings, the mitigation of traffic constraints and congestion is
tied to traffic count levels. The results of the 2019 traffic count study fall below the
threshold necessary for the implementation of Phase 3 improvements. Thus, the
construction of the Improvements including new metal detector building and ticket
building project does not directly dictate the implementation of mitigation measures.
G. No changes in traffic, curb cuts, off-street parking, and/or loading facilities will be
required as part of this proposed Project. Per the GEIS and the 2001 Findings, and the
2004 Findings, the implementation of mitigation measures for the expansion of Great
Escape vehicle parking(parking lots) is dictated by the overall park attendance.
H. The addition of the Attraction will not result in any changes to the natural, scenic,
ecological, wildlife, historic, or open space resources of the town. The entrance
improvements are consistent with the existing aesthetic and recreational nature.

I. As stated above, there are pedestrian sidewalks along both sides of Route 9, as well as a
pedestrian bridge crossing Route 9 to allow for safe pedestrian movement between the
Great Escape Theme Park and parking areas across the street; and there are additional
pedestrian friendly businesses across the street, thereby eliminating the need for any
intersections with vehicular traffic.
J. The proposed park entrance improvements will result in a reduction of the impervious
surfaces. The post-drainage areas will increase the permeable surface area over the
pre-existing conditions and therefore meet the requirements for new development within
the Great Escape Theme Park. Stormwater and erosion control details will be included in
the final plan submission and building permit package.
K. As stated above,water supply and wastewater disposal are by connection to Town-owned
municipal systems, and no additional water or sewer connections will be required as part
of this Project.
L. A landscape plan has been provided. It is the Applicant's intent to similarly
match/complement landscaping in newly landscaped areas throughout the Project area.
There is an overall increase to the landscaped areas as reflected on the site plans.
M. The proposed park entrance will be constructed to ensure fire lanes,emergency zones,and
fire hydrants are maintained or constructed to provide emergency access and
infrastructure as required by state and local codes.
N. As stated above, stormwater and erosion control details will be included.
O. The site plan has been prepared with intent to conform to all prevailing design standards,
both local and of the amusement park industry. Lighting is being provided with two (2)
existing light poles to remain with the addition of a matching light pole to supplement
lighting levels in the project area. The new light pole will be further from Route 9 than the
existing light poles.
