This will be a second extension. MR. TRAVER-Yes. So it looks like we've granted an extension in May of 2021. So they're asking for another extension. They just say for several reasons. They're not specific. It's only the second extension. I don't,myself,have a problem with it. Are there any questions or concerns from members of the Board on this extension? Then I guess we have a motion.

It's the plan for the construction of a driveway that exceeds 100/o,which is our maximum driveway slope. They've been back and forth to the Board a couple of times. They're working on the arrangement and location of some stormwater controls and they're back with their latest iteration. MR. TRAVER-Okay. So, again, this application was reviewed a couple of times by this Board,received some engineering analysis. We did take public comment,a significant amount of public comment,closed the public hearing. The last time the applicant was here we actually had counsel present to give us some additional guidance on this application and with counsel's support Staff developed a draft resolution for us to look at shortly,but I will welcome back the applicant and just ask if you have anything further to add this evening?

I think the easement was of great concern. The Town Attorney had stepped in,and I think he made it very clear that that is not within our purview. The engineering comments all pretty much state that the driveway is conducive to going into that location. So I just wanted to throw those comments out there before the vote. MR. TRAVER-Okay.

I did not see them,and I can only observe that at the last meeting where they appeared,I think it was,was it our last meeting in March? Yes,thank you,they had,they were going to come back last week and they said that they requested to be tabled because they wanted to address the engineering comments which are significant and I was inquiring today,I think you and I e-mailed briefly, as to whether or not we had received an update. As far as I know we have not. So I think it would be likely that,in the event they were here we would probably have to table them again anyway because if we did get updated comments we'd want to look at them obviously. MR.BROWN-Maybe do them last,in case they show up late and want to speak? MR. TRAVER-Yes,that's a good idea. Why don't we do that. So what we'll do is we'll move this to the end of the agenda.

SECTION: 179-3-040,179-9-120. LUCAS DOBIE,REPRESENTING APPLICANT,PRESENT, MONTY LIU,PRESENT MR. TRAVER-Craig,do you have any updates on this? MR.BROWN-I think you have some updated comments from,are they Laura's updated Staff Notes? MR. TRAVER-Yes. We did receive updated Staff Notes reflecting the interaction with the ZBA. Thank you for that. MR.BROWN-So they received their variances last week? They can talk a little bit about that. It's just an addition off the existing business,it's a little expansion. Big expansion. MR. TRAVER-Thank you very much. Good evening. Welcome back. MR.DOBIE-Thank you,Mr.Chairman. Good evening,Board. For the record,Lucas Dobie with Hutchins Engineering,representing Queensbury Square LLC. Managing member Monty Liu is with me at the table. We discussed the project pretty decent last week I believe, and it's basically take the foundation that's there,extend it into the existing liquor store building to build one comprehensive business for Monty and we received unanimous approval for our variances last week and the Site Plan Modification from our 2020 approvals,just, again, to connect the buildings, expand the parking, to review the existing parking area, and the most significant is the new green space along Route 9,taking out the parking that's there,and from the previous Site Plan approval we had a delivery service road if you will along the north side of the building which is no longer proposed. So that will be green space. We do propose to keep our loading dock off of Weeks Road as it presently is, because it's the perfect height for the delivery trucks and it matches the floor elevation of the liquor store and it's in close proximity to the storage areas. So there was some discussion at the Zoning Board,could you re-locate that to the south side, and we just don't see how that would work with the internal flow of the building and the elevation differentials from the parking. So we're very comfortable with the plan and the lighting is pretty much in conformance with what was previously approved, other than the connector road towards the Wal-Mart parking. We just flopped them on the other side of the road,the two fixtures and we added one more at Route 9 just to illuminate that area a little better. With that,we're hereto ask for your approval. We'd like to get the project going and we'd be happy to answer any questions the Board may have. So thank you for having us tonight. MR.TRAVER-Well,thank you for that update. In your discussions with the ZBA,were there any changes to the plan other than what we looked at as a Board? MR. DOBIE-No,there were none,Mr. Chairman. 6 (Queensbury Planning Board 04/26/2022) MR. TRAVER-Any questions, comments from members of the Board? We do have a public hearing on this application. Is there anyone in the audience that wanted to address the Planning Board on the Queensbury Square LLC application? I'm not seeing any takers. Do you know if there are any written comments? PUBLIC HEARING OPENED MR.BROWN-I don't,but I'll look. I have a question in the meantime,if you don't mind. MR.BROWN-Sure. Did you guys talk to the Highway Department about the grading in the right of way, in this area right here on the plan? MR. DOBIE-We have not. No,sir. MR.BROWN Just trying to avoid that issue when you guys start and the Highway Department asks that question. MR.DOBIE-Okay. We could certainly reach out to them. Because that's a really wide right of way there. So it's kind of deceiving that. MR. TRAVER-Yes, I see the dotted line there. It looks like it's in that. Hopefully the beautification in that area will be pleasing to them and not cause a problem. MR.BROWN-But my only concern is it looks like it's a bit of a slope down this stormwater drainage area. You've got this bank nearing the edge of the road. MR. TRAVER-Those are,what,10 foot contour intervals? MR.BROWN-No,I think they're one's. MR. TRAVER-One's. Okay. MR. DOBIE-They are one foot contours. MR. TRAVER-That makes it look a little denser. MR.BROWN-I do not see any additional public comment. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you. Then we'll go ahead and close the public hearing. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED MR. TRAVER-Any other comments or discussions from the Board? We do have,under a SEQR. We do have a SEQR resolution. This is an Unlisted action. Does anyone have any environmental impact concerns from the application materials that one should consider? Any concerns with SEQR? Okay. Then we have a SEQR resolution I believe. RESOLUTION GRANTING A NEGATIVE SEQR DEC.

MR.BROWN-I have nothing on this one. 9 (Queensbury Planning Board 04/26/2022) MR. TRAVER-Okay. Good evening. MR.HOLMES-Good evening. Bob Holmes with Jarrett Engineers and Duncan Millard with Great Escape. Obviously we're here. We're looking to get the Site Plan approval for the construction or placement of some storage containers on the property to facilitate a greater storage for parks and ride pieces,things of that nature. I'm willing to entertain questions,or what more do you wish at this point? It's really pretty simple. MR. TRAVER-Yes. MR. HOLMES-We're just in the area at the top of the hill behind the Northland Sports Outfitters, at the north end of the parking lot. MR. TRAVER-Isn't this like the tunnel area for the old Ghost Town? MR. HOLMES-Yes. This the old Ghost Town tunnel has been removed. We received a demo permit back,I think around the first of the year it was. That work has taken place and we're now looking to put the storage back in its place. MR. TRAVER-I think Ghost Town was the last time I ever fired a cap gun. Okay. Well this does seem fairly straightforward. You did receive engineering comments as well. There was some mention of a little bit of concern about erosion and sediment controls,although it appears also in the report that the changes are not significant and it appears to be in harmony with Park practices. MR.HOLMES-Correct. MR. TRAVER-It doesn't appear that there should be much of an issue getting a signoff,but you are aware that you do need engineering approval? MR.HOLMES-Yes. We did receive the comments from Staff,from LaBella. To me they're pretty simple, straightforward. There was one,Comment Three,as you mentioned,they talk about erosion and sediment control. We're just going to put an additional section of erosion and sediment control along the north side of the proj ect. That was probably an oversight on our part,but just real quick,to follow upon it. It is less than one acre disturbance. So we are not jurisdictional to a SPDES permit for construction. We are reducing the overall impervious cover within our project area by about nine percent as LaBella had pointed out. And then we are making no changes to any of the current drainage courses there. So we really,that's why we did not provide any full documentation or calculations for the stormwater design because we are reducing impervious cover. We're not going to be changing any drainage courses. MR. TRAVER-Well I think he's going to be aware of that,and as long as you get,you know,converse and get a signoff,you should be in good shape. MR.HOLMES-Yes. MR. TRAVER-There is a public comment period for this application as well. Is there anyone in the audience that wanted to address the Planning Board on the application for the Great Escape Theme Park? I'm not seeing any takers. Do you know if there are any written comments? PUBLIC HEARING OPENED MR.BROWN-I do not believe there are any. I'm not finding any. MR. TRAVER-All right. Thank you. All right. We'll go ahead and close the public hearing,then. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED MR. TRAVER-Any other questions or comments for the applicant from members of the Board? MR. DIXON-I'm just sad to see some of the old Story Town going away. MR.HOLMES-Well,for the old tunnel it was time. It was time. MR. TRAVER-All right. Then I guess we're ready to entertain that motion.

SECTION: 179-9-020,179-6-050,CHAPTER 94. NICHOLAS GIUMARRA,PRESENT MR. TRAVER-Good evening. Tell us about your project. MR. GIUMARRA-My wife and I purchased one of the lots off of Big Boom Road, 373 I believe. It's 5.34 acres. It's approved for a single family residential home,mid-way through the property and we would like to add a foot path,maybe a recreational vehicle path,that from the water,it's somewhere around 650,700 feet. Currently there is, the developer left three of the owners with a shared easement that crosses back and forth between the properties and it seems like not a very good solution for that. So we're hoping to create our own path. So I've been working since I was informed I should not be working on that yet. I've been working with the DEC and their engineers to get the approvals from them to go through this. I have gotten them. So now I'm coming to you to ask approval from the Town of Queensbury. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Well,we do appreciate,even if it's after the fact,you obtaining the help of the DEC and the Army Corps on this. There's more and more concern about protecting the environment, as you know,and one of the valuable things we have in Queensbury is the wetlands environments,and that's what raised our eyebrows when we saw this development happening right through the middle of the wetlands. And I do see in your information you did provide us with some, I guess you would say supporting information, as far as the, again, reaching out for additional support. I note that the County Planning states that there should be some re-planting and seeding of the areas in order to stabilize soils and reduce erosion towards the river. MR. GIUMARRA-I'm really only disturbing what I'm going to be covering with gravel. MR. TRAVER-Right. Understood. MR. GIUMARRA-Other,where I disturbed wetlands,one section,where I put the bridging over,that will be cleared of fill and re-seeded. MR. TRAVER-Right. They're recommending, it makes sense to me, that you reach out to the Warren County Soil and Water Conservation Service and what they will do, and I did this myself as a landowner. I own property in Queensbury. You get someone who's called a cooperator and they will come,at no cost to you,and walk your property with you and give you information,well in this case it would be about how to preserve that walkway without incurring any damage on the surrounding wetlands. So it's just an additional step. It doesn't cost anything. It's just a matter of reaching out to them and that is something that the County Planning Board, when they looked at your application, was quite concerned that we encourage you to do. Other questions,comments from members of the Board? MR. LA SARSO-I would just disclose that Mr. Giumarra was my teacher in ninth grade. I don't think it's really going to influence anything,but I'm just going to disclose that for the record. MR. TRAVER-So what subject? MR. GIUMARRA-1 teach high school technology. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Well Mr. LaSarso has acknowledged a potential conflict of interest and I take it from your comment that you do not feel that it would prevent you from voting. MR. LA SARSO-No,I do not. 12 (Queensbury Planning Board 04/26/2022) MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you. MR. DIXON-Mr. Chairman,I will also disclose that I have one child out of school and one in school, and I'm sure Mr. Giumarra sees a lot of children. No conflict here,but there's a disclosure there. MR.TRAVER-All right. Well we do have a public comment on this application. Is there anyone here that would like to address the Planning Board on the issue of Nicholas and Kerry Giumarra, Site Plan 20-2022 and Freshwater Wetlands Permit 3-2022? I'm not seeing any takers. Do you know if there are any written comments? PUBLIC HEARING OPENED MR.BROWN-No written comments. MR. TRAVER-No written comments. Thank you. All right. Then we'll go ahead and close the public hearing on this application. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED MR. DIXON-Mr. Chairman, I would like to ask a question. So in the application you've put down you would like to excavate a six foot wide by eighteen foot long slope at the shore to gain access. MR.GIUMARRA-That must have been left in from a previous permit that got denied me. Laura dissuaded me from that path. We're going to try to do something different at the shore. I tried feverishly to take any mention of those things out. MR. TRAVER-And that is not in your current depicted plan. MR. GIUMARRA-That is not in the current depicted plan. MR. TRAVER-Okay. MR. DIXON-All right. Yes,there was that discrepancy because it was talking about a 16 foot drop off. MR. GIUMARRA-And using that 50 foot wide, or the third clearance, slope down to the river and down to the bank,trying to figure out a way to access it. MR.DIXON-And as you progress,especially on that piece of property,because when this did come in front of the Board last year or the year before we discussed at great length the property so there's a great deal of wetlands through that section and there were potentially some archeological areas that were identified, too. So you should be aware of where all of those are. MR. GIUMARRA-I don't have any of those on my property. MR. DIXON-Okay. MR. GIUMARRA Just wetlands. MR. DIXON-You're probably seeing them right now. MR. TRAVER-All right. Anything else? MR. LONGACKER=Some place in the application,too,I see Army Corps language is a little bit confusing. I see 15 inch culverts being used, a three and a half foot culvert being used and a 24 inch diameter culvert being used, and the detail's for 24 inch. It looks like the Army Corps has wetlands crossing two 16 feet long and it says by two wide. I'm assuming that means two foot wide. MR. GIUMARRA-Two feet. MR. LONGACKER-And the other one is in Crossing A,which is 32 foot long by S foot wide wetland path with two 3 and a half inch HTPE. I'm assuming that is a three and a half foot diameter culvert? Or should that be something else? MR. GIUMARRA-No, that's something else. So that three and a half inches, a small amount of upland wetlands to allow that. MR. LONGACKER-Gotcha. Thanks. 13 (Queensbury Planning Board 04/26/2022) MR.BROWN-So just for clarification we may want to,before the final plans come in,have,just make sure that this plan that's on the screen right now matches the language that Mr. Longacker just referred to about that Army Corps. Because these all call for a 15 inch diameter culvert. MR. GIUMARRA-So that's what I originally put in there, and then in talking with the Army Corps they said how about. I don't see why not. MR. BROWN-So if they've upped them or downed them, if you could just revise this to match, then everything will be together. MR. GIUMARRA-Okay. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Anything else? Okay. I guess we're ready to entertain that motion,then.

TRAVER-Craig,did you have a summary for this? Just Staff Notes? MR.BROWN-Not much more. Yes,just Staff Notes. He's got some things that will explain. MR. TRAVER-Sure. All right. Thank you. Good evening. MR. LUBERA-Good evening. My name is Paul Lubera from Lansing Engineering. I'm representing Russ Faden,Faden Enterprises. Our project sits at 1471 State Route 9. It's Tax Map No.2SS.-1-55.. The current zoning is Commercial Intensive. There's currently a 3700 square foot commercial building on site that will be removed as part of this project. The surrounding uses are all commercial with the Northway backing up to the back of it. We propose a one building,5,950 square foot building to include a restaurant, a fast food restaurant, and retail space, along with a smaller building out back of 3,422 square feet for self storage units. We're going to modify the existing curb cuts to meet DOT. We'll have to work with DOT to facilitate that. There are small impacts expected,but not more than a tenth of an acre. We're currently getting delineation for that now. MR. TRAVER-Impacts in terms of encroachment? MR.LUBERA-Small,yes. We're here tonight to address your comments and describe further engineering design. MR. TRAVER-Okay. So this is mixed use. One is a drive thru restaurant. There may be another fast food restaurant coming into that neighborhood as well. MR. LUBERA-Possibly. 16 (Queensbury Planning Board 04/26/2022) MR. TRAVER-So the wetland area is in the back? MR. LUBERA-Right around the back,possibly on the side there. Like I said,we have a wetland scientist out there delineating it. Once we have that delineation we will know the impacts,but we anticipate they'll be minor. MR.TRAVER-Okay,and I note that you did send us some updated information today. To be honest,I did not have much of an opportunity to look at that, but this seems fairly straightforward to me. There's certainly more development in that area. I guess I'd open it up for questions, comments from the Board. He's looking for feedback. MR. MOLLOY-You said self storage units. So I assume that's the storage lockers. MR. FADEN-Correct. MR. MOLLOY-And the fast food joint. The last one you said was retail space. MR. LUBERA-Yes. The fast food will have a drive thru on the Subway side there. MR. MOLLOY-Thank you. MR. DIXON-1 know that the storage units,we've had several applicants in front of us, and we're usually really honing in on what the design looks like. So be prepared to answer those questions. We're looking for something that will fit in with the community,not just square boxes and metal siding. MR. TRAVER-Yes,they do tend to be a bit ugly. So anything that can be done to pretty them up would be appreciated. MR. DIXON-And I can only assume, I can't really tell on this, but I would imagine all sidewalks will remain. We'll be looking at plantings. MR. LUBERA-We did submit a rendering. MR. FADEN-Mostly the self storage you won't even be able to see from the main road. MR. LONGACKER-I just had a question on that,too. You said the wetlands before. Are the wetlands in the back of the property? Because it looks like on the rendering here it looks like you put trees. MR. LUBERA-It's covered with trees right now,possibly there are going to be trees,yes. MR.LONGACKER-Okay. Maybe push it back further. Ii know it would be more pavement,but it would be something for you to consider,just push it back. I don't know if it would fit the building envelope or not. If there's a possibility to just push it back further. MR.DIXON-And I think the permeability,so when we look at what appears to be all blacktop there,that'll be one thing that'll just kind of jump off the page that there may be the need for additional green space in there if you can. MR. LUBERA-We currently meet the required green space. MR. DIXON-Okay. MR. LUBERA-Stormwater will be managed on the site. It is a re-development. Like I said there's an existing building there and pavement. MR.DIXON-And I guess when I read through the notes,I must have missed it. Is it going to be a complete teardown? MR. LUBERA-Of the existing building? Yes. MR. DIXON-Okay. I didn't have really any other questions. MR. TRAVER-I didn't really at this stage. Did you have any specific questions for us? MR. LUBERA-No. We were just looking for feedback before we got preliminary engineering. That way we're all on the same page an everybody's in agreement that it's a good project and we want to move forward with it. MR. TRAVER-Yes. 17 (Queensbury Planning Board 04/26/2022) MR. FADEN-We should have some renderings probably at the next meeting to go with it. MR. TRAVER-Okay. MR. DIXON-It is a busy corridor and obviously that's probably why you're looking there. There's peak traffic patterns. I can't foresee that being an issue with the drive thru. MR. LONGACKER Just maybe any cars coming into the other shared entrance there at the building next to it. Just keep that in mind. MR.BROWN-Chairman,so procedurally from the approval side,I think somebody touched on this at the beginning,this is a mixed use, a multi-use property. One of the uses,the self-storage use,is a Special Use Permit use under the Zoning Code. So it's a little bit different animal. We looked at the performance criteria you have for self-storage facilities that all self-storage facility components need to be screened with some sort of fencing from areas that are visible from the right of way. So keep that in mind. It says must have fencing. I think there's probably some flexibility to have some screening. Maybe it's landscaping that does that,maybe it's the physical orientation of where the building is,far enough back from the road, maybe that works,but just keep in mind what we review this from the building permit side,that's really the only thing that's different than just a regular site plan application. MR. TRAVER-Yes,thank you. That's very helpful. MR. TRAVER-So in addition to your self-storage,in addition to being pretty,these need to be screened. MR. LUBERA-I believe between the plantings and the building,it will good. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Well those are the kind of details that we work out, you know, generally in site plan, but as Craig points out,just to eligible for that Special Use Permit that will be required for this property,you do have to meet the criteria to be eligible. MR. BROWN-And the last question I had, did you guys talk to Water and Sewer? Is this property connected to the sewer? MR. LUBERA-Yes. It will be public water,public sewer. MR.BROWN-Okay. I'm just trying to carry the water for them,make sure it's going to get connected. MR. TRAVER-One of the things I want to suggest, and I know Mr. Faden knows from previous projects, maintain a high level of communication with the Planning Office during this whole process. That will help you not waste any time before you provide all the information that they and in turn we need to look at your project as it goes along. It's really,really important. You'll find it extremely helpful. MR. TRAVER-Anything else? MR. DIXON-just make sure you have your lighting plan ready to submit as well. I know we had an item that came up that the incorrect lighting was placed on one of the buildings and we just want to make sure that gets taken care of. MR.MOLLOY-It looks like we have two entrances. Did I hear somebody say,correct me if I'm wrong,did I hear somebody say one of them is shared with the business next door? MR. LUBERA-Yes,the northern entrance. MR.MOLLOY-Okay. The only thing I'd say is that previously we've had very,very long discussions with maybe neighboring businesses aren't wholly in agreement with how it's being used. So I would just communicate well with them as well so that you guys don't have a busy public comment session. MR. LUBERA-Will do. MR. TRAVER-Anything else? MR. MOLLOY-That's all I had. MR. LA SARSO-I would just say it looks like a great project you guys are doing and I'm glad to see something being done with that site. MR. TRAVER-Very good. Any last questions for us? is (Queensbury Planning Board 04/26/2022) MR. LUBERA-No,I guess we're all set. We appreciate your time. MR. TRAVER-It sounds like you're in the lane. So it's just a matter of going through the motions and getting the information that we all need to look at your application. We will see you soon. MR. LUBERA-Thank you. MR. TRAVER-Thank you. Is there any other business before the Board this evening? I guess not. If there's nothing further,Craig,did you have anything further for us tonight? MR.BROWN-I do not. MR. TRAVER-Okay. In that case,we'll entertain a motion to adjourn.
