Planning Board Members,
On March 19, 2012 the applicant’s engineers, Town of Queensbury Water Department staff
and Town Planning staff visited the site in order to gather information concerning the
potential citing of an additional water storage structure on the site. Concerns were raised
relative to the proposed location of the cell tower and as such the Water Department is now in
the process of obtaining an engineering opinion on the subject. It is Planning Staff’s position
that this application be tabled pending resolution of any and all outstanding issues that
concern the Queensbury Water Department and Planning Staff.
Thank you
