Zoning Board of Appeals – Record of Resolution 742 Bay Road Queensbury, NY 12804 (518) 761-8238 Town of Queensbury Continued ZBA Resolution ZBA Meeting Date: Wednesday, January 18, 2012 Area Variance No. 1-2012, William Threw be achieved by other means feasible to the applicant. At this point, I don’t see how other means feasible to the applicant, how they can do this. They’re looking for a boundary line adjustment for a separate ownership here. Will this produce an undesirable change in the neighborhood or character to nearby properties. Nothing new is going in. The existing uses are staying the same. So I don’t see how it’s going to change the character of the property. Also the owner has made some improvements. Is this request substantial? From a numerical perspective, yes, it is substantial. Whether this request will have adverse physical or environmental effects on the neighborhood. At this point this Board cannot see any environmental impacts on the neighborhood. Is this difficulty self-created? As far as the 100 acre requirement for a sawmill, I think t hat was introduced after the sawmill was already in place. So that part of it is not self-created. So I move we approve Area Variance 1-2012. The applicant also agreed, as a condition, they will not increase the size or amount of equipment related to the sawmill operation on site. Duly adopted this 18 day of January, 2012, by the following vote: th AYES: Mr. Clements, Mr. Kuhl, Mr. Underwood, Mr. Garrand, Mrs. Hunt, Mr. Jackoski NOES: Mr. Urrico Sincerely, Steven Jackoski, Chairman Queensbury Zoning Board of Appeals SJ/sh The variance approval is valid for one (1) year from the date of approval.
