Re- Foothills Builders — Round Pond Road Subdivision —Queensbury
Lot 9 Site Plan —Access Driveway Modification
Tax Map ID: 296.5-1-16 & 17
Dear Planning Board Members:
This office represents Foothill's builders with respect to the modification to the approved single-family
home project on Lot 9 of the Round Pond Road Realty Subdivision. This modification is for construction
of a separate access drive across parcel 296.15-1-17 (Lot 10) to access the new home being
constructed on parcel 296-1-16 (Lot 9). The original deed for Lot 10 includes an easement for a driveway
to access Lot 9. During construction of the original driveway for the house on parcel 296.15-1-17 (Lot 10)
the driveway was installed on the property line between lot 10 & lot 11. When this error was discovered
the owners of Lot 10 & Lot 11 had a lot line adjustment of the property line between Lot 10 & Lot 11 so
that the entire driveway for Lot 10 was within boundary of lot 10. The final deed for the lot line adjustment
did not include the language for expanding the access easement for lot 9. Currently the owner of Lot 10
is refusing to allow use of the existing driveway because portions of the existing driveway are not within
the easement delineation that is on the Lot 10 deed.
This site plan modification proposes to construct a new driveway that is within the legally defined
easement on Lot 10. The new driveway will be graded to drain to the north where the runoff from the new
asphalt will be treated in a stone infiltration trench. Our client continues to try and resolve this matter
without building the parallel access drive but requests approval of this modification if a resolution to use
the existing driveway cannot be achieved.
Enclosed please find 15 copies of submission packages, consisting of application, deed and engineered
site plans including stormwater calculations on the plans. Thank you for your assistance with the project
and please contact this office if you have any questions or if you require additional information.
Best Regards,
Thomas Center Jr., P.E.
