Now the original request was for August,but I understand we have not received updated information MR. ZAPPER-Good evening, everyone. Jon Lapper,for the record. So I apologize for my clients. They just haven't been able to focus on this. When they're trying to make some improvements to the property. The guys as we talked about when we were here a while ago were local landowners that didn't want San Souci to go away because it was asocial resource for the neighborhood. They're not restaurateurs,but now they have staffing issues like every other restaurant and at the same the project engineers are busy with all the transfer septic laws and haven't given them attention. So it's kind of a combination of stuff, but they want to do some work on the property. So Laura said everyone's getting a little impatient because it keeps getting tabled. So I ask if it could be tabled one more time until September submission for an October meeting and I think that's realistic and again I apologize. MR. TRAVER-Okay. So you'd be requesting a tabling,instead of August,to October. Is that correct? MR. ZAPPER-Yes. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Laura,I know that's far out for the agenda. Any preference in terms of the first or second? MRS. MOORE-No preference. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Why don't we maybe go for the first meeting which would be October I8. So this would be a consideration of a tabling to the October I8 Board meeting, and open it up for discussion from the Planning Board members. Any concerns? Okay. We have a draft resolution.

I believe it's the oldest one on Cleverdale,or one of the top two, and it's in disrepair essentially. So it's a proposal to tear down,pull it back from the shore a little bit,center it on the lot as best we can and build back smaller, which is the first time I've ever done that, and with this project it'll bring the parcel into conformance with the floor area ratio and permeability,whereas today it's nonconforming with those,and we're providing stormwater management near the shore, some shallow vegetated areas and shoreline buffer to be shown on there. We're here to ask for your approval. The plan is to start after Labor Day. So things are coming together nice. It's been a little bit of along haul,but I appreciate you having us tonight and we'd be happy to answer any questions. MR. TRAVER-Okay. As a result of your discussion with the ZBA, were there any changes to the plans that we had seen previously? MR. DOBIE-There was not,sir. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you. I'll open it up for questions,comments from members of the Board. MR. MAGOWAN-I would just like to make a comment,thank you,both of you,really. I hate to see such a beautiful old structure go,but I can understand it's a long time to be on the lake and I'm sure the weather and the water and the moisture has taken a toll, but to the owners, thank them for making a smaller footprint and really trying to conform with the law. So I really appreciate that. MR. DEEB-I might add it's refreshing to see you go the other way instead of asking for more. MR.DYBAS-If the lot was just a little bit narrower it wouldn't need the side yard setbacks either. Because we were just over the 60 feet so we had to go to 20. If we were under 60 we'd have had 15. MR. TRAVER-There is a public hearing on this application. Is there anyone in the audience that wanted to address the Planning Board on this Site Plan? I'm not seeing any hands. Laura, are there any written comments? PUBLIC HEARING OPENED MRS. MOORE-I do. I have a Lake George Waterkeeper letter. This is addressed to Mr. Traver. "The above referenced site plan application was personally reviewed in my capacity as a licensed professional engineer and the Lake George Waterkeeper. The Waterkeeper would like to recognize the protection measures that were implemented for the redevelopment consisting of an increased shoreline setback,new onsite wastewater treatment system with a FujiClean ETU and stormwater management. These are positive measures to help mitigate impacts on a constrained site within the Critical Environmental Area surrounding Lake George. The Lake George Waterkeeper requests that the applicant and Planning Board consider the following recommendations during their deliberation for the above referenced site plan application. It is questioned why the top 1-1/2 feet of soil will be removed between the house and the vegetative buffer. The top 1 foot of soil is the most important layer for stormwater treatment through 9 (Queensbury Planning Board 07/19/2022) biological and soil chemistry for nutrient/pollutant removal and treatment will be reduced by this removal, which will impact water quality. The shoreline buffer should be expanded to be more compliant and the plantings can be incorporated into the stormwater treatment area to improve treatment. The proposed buffer is only 10 feet wide, which is less than 300/o of the required width and the deeper rooted buffer plantings will improve filtration and uptake over shallow rooted lawn grass. The Waterkeeper recommends that the Planning Board condition the approval on increasing the buffer width to meet Code requirements with planting in the stormwater management area and retain the existing soil elevation between the house and the shoreline. The Lake George Waterkeeper looks forward to working with the Town of Queensbury Planning Board to defend the natural resources of Lake George and its watershed. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely,Christopher Navitsky,PE Lake George Waterkeeper" MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you. So comment from the Waterkeeper regarding the shoreline buffer which is less than the 35 feet. Would you care to comment on that? MR. DOBIE-Yes. Certainly. We discussed this in the green room with our client,Jean Tarrant, who's with us tonight and she's willing to plant those stormwater areas with the buffering plants. So we're amenable to that. So it'll essentially become a raingarden planting area incorporated. So it'll blend right in with the shoreline buffer. So we're agreeable to that,to use the Town's formula per square foot to take care of those areas because it's another 300 square feet for the northerly stormwater area and 1S5 square feet on the southerly one. So we can condition that if the Board would like that. My client is willing to do that. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Could you give us those numbers again so we can make sure that we have them? MR. MAGOWAN-Again,thank you. MR. DIXON-Or at the very least are you just saying you're going to use the Town standards and be compliant with that? MR. DOBIE-For the respective areas,yes,sir. So I did the math earlier,I thought this might come up. So the northerly area is 300 square feet, the northerly stormwater area. So that would be six shrubs and twelve herbaceous plantings in that. MR. DIXON-Do I need to keep track of all of these,or can we just? MRS. MOORE-You could use the word Code compliant. So I would say the northern stormwater area to be Code compliant. MR. TRAVER-And updated plans to be submitted. Correct? MRS. MOORE-Correct. That's the only area is the northerly area? MR.DOBIE-And the southerly area is 1S5 square feet. So that would be four shrubs and eight herbaceous. I'd like to get that on the record if we could, and just hold to that,just so there's no confusion. MR. TRAVER-Sure. Okay. MRS. MOORE-So those updates should be on the final plan set. MR. TRAVER-Right. MS. GAGLIARDI-Mr. Chairman,you need to close the public hearing also. MR. TRAVER-Thank you. We'll close the public hearing.

MRS.MOORE-This applicant proposes to construct a new single family dwelling with an attached garage. The home is 2,200 square feet. The project site does include wetlands. The project work includes retaining walls,septic system and driveway area. The variance being requested is to the wetland setback. 13 (Queensbury Planning Board 07/19/2022) They're proposing 10.4 feet where a 75 foot setback is required. The applicant has received the local board of health septic variance. So they've satisfied that requirement. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you. Good evening. MR. BOGARDUS-My name's David Borgardus. I'm a surveyor with Northeast Land Surveyors. Laura,I think you stated exactly what we're doing. I'd like to point out this is an existing approved lot. It was approved in 1959. It's the last lot left in there and we're trying to build one small single family home on it, 2200 square feet. MR. TRAVER-Okay. So there's some clearing for the home itself and the site work,but then the rest of the vegetation is not to be disturbed I note. MR.BOGARDUS-Correct. MR. TRAVER-There was one minor question we had about lighting. There didn't seem to be evidence of exterior lighting on the home. I assume that that's not the case. There are lights on the outside of the house? MR.BOGARDUS-We'll probably have a driveway light illuminating the driveway. MR. TRAVER-I thought so. So that just needs to be downcast. MR.BOGARDUS-We didn't get into a lighting plan for a single family home. MR. TRAVER-No,but light fixtures,residential fixtures,they still need to be downcast. MR.BOGARDUS-I can add a note to do that. MR. TRAVER-Very good. Let's see,questions,comments from members of the Board? MR. LONGACKER-I just had a question. The retaining wall. I don't know if you had any specifics on that. I didn't see any detail,but it looks like it's about five foot high in one spot. It's right next to that wetlands,so I'm just not sure what type you plan on using there so you don't give up the wetland. That's all. MR.BOGARDUS-Do you see the detail plan in the top right corner? MR. LONGACKE R-There it is right there. Now I do. MR.BOGARDUS-It demonstrates like a Bristol lock. MR. LONGACKER-So you just put it on a stone pad in the bottom. So you don't have a big concrete footing. MR.BOGARDUS-It'll be set from the front side and not the back side. MR. TRAVER-So there's no construction actually proposed within the wetland. MR.BOGARDUS-Not at all. MR. TRAVER-You're just within 10 feet of it. MR. BOGARDUS-We suspect that the wetland wasn't there when the map was approved, and being the last lot in the subdivision it probably had soils put on it where everybody else was going and that's how it wound up being that way. MR. TRAVER-So that changed the wetland,the topography somewhat. MR.BOGARDUS-That's not much of a wetland. That's just a little. MR. TRAVER-Right. Understood. All right. Questions,comments from members of the Board? This is,tonight,for the variance for the proximity to the wetlands. Any questions,concerns regarding that for our referral to the Zoning Board? MR. DIXON-Do you want a comment on that regarding the downcast lighting at all? MR. TRAVER-No because they'll be coming back for Site Plan. Anything on the variance request? All right. We have a draft resolution. 14 (Queensbury Planning Board 07/19/2022) RESOLUTION RE: ZBA RECOMMENDATION RE: AV#32-2022 CHRISTOPHER DETMER The applicant has submitted an application for the following: The applicant proposes to construct a new single family dwelling with an attached garage.The home is 2,200 sq.ft.The project site contains wetlands.

SITE INFORMATION: CEA,APA,LGP C. LOT SIZE: .24 ACRES. TAX MAP NO. 226.12-1-86. SECTION: 179-3-040, 179-4-080. ERIK SANDBLOM, REPRESENTING APPLICANT,PRESENT MR. TRAVER-Laura? MRS. MOORE-This applicant proposes a 200 square foot deck addition to an existing bunkhouse of 740 square feet. No changes are proposed to the existing home which is 1,300 square feet which also contains a 1300 square foot deck/porch area. The project requires variances to the side setback and just for clarification it's expansion of a nonconforming structure. We did do a little bit of research to determine when this building was converted,and there's really no record of it. So that's why it's not an after the fact approval. It's not an after the fact conversion,but we do note that it's been converted from a garage to a bunkhouse. MR. TRAVER-And that conversion doesn't require approval? MRS. MOORE-It's already done. You could add it to your approval,but it's not,there's no,you normally would see it,but I can't prove when it happened. 15 (Queensbury Planning Board 07/19/2022) MR. TRAVER-Understood. So it just magically happened and was never reviewed. MRS. MOORE-Correct. MR. TRAVER-All right. Good evening. MR. SANDBLOM-Good evening. Erik Sandblom from SRA Engineers. MR. TRAVER-So perhaps you can shed some light on a little bit of a mystery that we have a garage that morphed into a bunkhouse. MR.SANDBLO M-Sure. So we've been working with this family for a couple of years now. This property's been in the family for many,many years and it was just recently transferred to the former owner's daughter and they've been working on doing some renovations kind of cleaning up the record, so to speak, and one of these items is this conversion into a bunkhouse. They don't know what,you know,her father did back in the past,but they want to make it right. That's kind of their goal in all this. MR. TRAVER-Okay. All right. So at this point you're looking for the deck addition. MR. SANDBLOM-Yes. MR. TRAVER-Which triggers the immediate variance. MR. SANDBLOM-Yes, it's only 1.4 feet from the property line and the next door neighbor is part of the same family as well and they have setbacks that are similar. So you can see it's very consistent with the nature of the houses right in that area as well,but of course it certainly requires a variance to proceed as an expansion of an existing nonconforming structure. MR. TRAVER-Yes. Okay. Questions,comments from members of the Board? MR. LONGACKER-Is this a totally open deck,no roof on it? MR. SANDBLOM-No roof. MR. LONGACKER-No roof. Okay. MR. SANDBLOM-Yes, no roof and an open-slatted deck, and we've added a stone mat underneath to contain the stormwater from that surface. It should perform better than existing conditions. MR. LONGACKER-I just wanted to make sure you weren't adding any sleeping area to it. That's all. MR. SANDBLOM-No,definitely not. MR. MAGOWAN-It could be a zipped up screen hammock. MR. TRAVER-Any concerns that we want to forward along with our recommendation to the ZBA? MR. DIXON-I didn't have any. MR. TRAVER-All right. Well we have a draft resolution.

JON ZAPPER&r MATT STEVES,REPRESENTING APPLICANT,PRESENT MR. TRAVER-Laura? MRS. MOORE-This project is a two lot commercial subdivision of a 4.39 acre parcel. The new parcels will be 1.29 acres with the existing Taco Bell, and 3.1 acre lot that is vacant and would create a corner lot. The 1.29 acre parcel for the Taco Bell has one exit point to Corinth Road and the relief being sought here is for site access. They actually have to have physical access to and from the site and in this case there's only an exit point,and the applicant,the future applicant for the adjoining lot would have that shared driveway that wouldn't go away at this point. MR. TRAVER-Okay. All right. So we want to subdivide this and separate this off for some potential future development. Is that the idea? MR. ZAPPER-For the record,Jon Lapper with Surveyor Matt Steves. We were here getting the site plan approved a number of years ago for Taco Bell. They decided they wanted to own the parcel. Frank's happy to sell it. It was designed with a shared access contemplating that in the future there would be some other use or uses on the rest of the parcel. Queensbury Code encourages access management where we have shared driveways and interconnections, and in this particular case because we're close to the Northway ramp,you wouldn't want to have another curb cut any closer if you don't need it So this is one curb cut that should service the whole future development, whatever that might be, but technically, as Laura said,we're not utilizing the frontage,even though there's sufficient frontage for the access. So that requires a variance. We think it's good planning and that's why the Planning Board approved it this way to begin with to have this shared driveway, but we have to go to the Zoning Board before we can come back to you guys for the subdivision. MR. TRAVER-Sure. MR. STEVES-Obviously there's an egress party on our lot as Laura said to the extreme east,but that's for the easterly exit only, and we do have an egress, but the ingress is shared on that access easement. Currently Taco Bell leases exactly 1.29 acres,and also has access over the 9,000 square foot access easement 17 (Queensbury Planning Board 07/19/2022) as Jon has described. When we were doing the original planning is to have one central location so we're not having four or five curb cuts and access points on Corinth Road. MR. TRAVER-Although in theory someone who purchases the lot could come in and ask for a separate access,right,which would be subject to review. MR. ZAPPER-Yes. MR. STEVES-They're not at this time. They're fully aware they want to maintain use of the access easement. MR. TRAVER-Correct. MR. ZAPPER-But you mean the future use of the undeveloped property? MR. TRAVER-Right. MR. DEEB-Do you have somebody interested in that? MR. ZAPPER-No. MR. DEEB-So Frank's going to still own it? MR. ZAPPER-Yes. MR. ZAPPER-I mean he spent his whole life acquiring property. Now in his late 70's he's happy to sell it. This was,if somebody came along and made and offer to him. So that's available for sale as it has been. It's a pretty good location near the interchange,but no one's come along. MR. DEEB-Taco Bell doesn't want it? MR. ZAPPER-They only want the 1.29. MR. TRAVER Just what they need. MR. ZAPPER-Yes. MR. MAGOWAN-Wasn't there? MR. ZAPPER-There was a hotel. MR. MAGOWAN-There was a hotel that was going in there. MR. ZAPPER-Yes, and they were the guys,the Home2Suites,that went behind the Mall instead. MR. MAGOWAN-We talked about that access road and that was all going to be tied together. So it's in there. Is it a deed? MR. ZAPPER-It's a deeded easement to get to this access road, and in the future it's likely that, whether it's going to be one use or two uses,whatever it is,there might bean access onto Big Bay. That's a site plan review at that point. MR. STEVES-And the Board will obviously be seeing that in the future when they come in. It depends on the type of use,but does it make sense at that point to still have the access to Corinth Road,depending on the type of use and intensity of that use that they also have an entrance or exit on Big Bay Road. Obviously we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. MR. TRAVER-Right. MR. ZAPPER-But for Taco Bell everything works fine the way it is. MR. TRAVER-Sure. MR. DIXON-I'm glad you have that on the radar. MR.MAGOWAN-He came and he cleared that lot and we asked him to leave some trees and it really looks nice, and I'm kind of amazed. It's a good corner. MR. ZAPPER-Yes. 18 (Queensbury Planning Board 07/19/2022) MR. MAGOWAN-Someone's going to grab that up. MR.TRAVER-I would think. All right. So this evening,as was pointed out,the site access is the variance that they require for this to come back to us for the subdivision. Does anyone have any concerns with that? It seems fairly logical to me given what the current conditions are. So if there's no concerns, we have a draft motion.

The exterior and interior of the building are to remain the same. A sign for the company will be over the door. Site conditions for lighting,parking and green 19 (Queensbury Planning Board 07/19/2022) space remain the same.

DEEB-Could you identify yourselves for the record,please. MR. FLINT-I'm Matt Flint from M&M. MR. CANALE-And Bill Canale,the owner. MR. TRAVER-So you're acquiring this building and you want to re-develop it for use of the printing company,but it looks as though the modification would be largely interior. Correct? MR. CANALE-Yes,but we're not acquiring anything. We've owned the building for 30 something years. We have a tenant,CWI,that's been in there for 30 something years. They bought their own structure and we went in,painted it up,didn't change a thing. MR. TRAVER-So you're just re-using it. MR. CANALE-Yes. MR. FLINT-I have a printing company in Glens Falls right now and this will expand into this larger location. MR. TRAVER-Sure. MR. MAGOWAN-Well we welcome you to Queensbury. MR.TRAVER-And this particular site hasn't had site plan review in more than seven years. So that's one of the things that triggered your discussion with us tonight. MR. CANALE-Right. MR. TRAVER-It seems fairly straightforward to me. Questions,comments from members of the Board? MR. MAGOWAN-I like you have really two access points. The building's been tucked back there for years. I remember it being a children's care,wasn't it? MR. FLINT-Community Workshop for years in that location. MR. MAGOWAN-I think it's a good use. It's a nice building. It gives you the room you need. MR. TRAVER-We do have a public hearing on this application as well this evening. Is there anyone in the audience that wanted to comment to the Planning Board on this application? I'm not seeing any. Are there any written comments,Laura? PUBLIC HEARING OPENED MRS. MOORE-There are no written comments. MR. TRAVER-All right. Then we will go ahead and close the public hearing. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED MR. TRAVER-If there's nothing else,we'll entertain a motion. MR. DIXON-Before I do the motion,Laura,how do I identify it as far as signage? Do you just want to, as far as Code compliant signage? MRS. MOORE-You don't have to because the applicant still would have to apply for a sign permit, and it would be evaluated at that time. MR. DIXON-That's easy enough,then. Made my life easier.

SECTION: 179-3-040. WHITNEY RUSSELL, REPRESENTING APPLICANT,PRESENT MR. TRAVER-Laura? MRS. MOORE-This application is for a re-use of an existing building. The building is 2,66E square feet. This is to operate a bottle and can redemption center. The exterior of the building is to be painted to clean up the building appearance. The parcel as you can see the triangle piece. The re-use of it would be beneficial to at least that area. It wouldn't be such a rundown building in that area. The applicant has shown where there's parking availability and where the plan to put some landscaping, and typically with a redemption center they have to have an overhead door so that there's availability for a pickup from a large truck. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you. Good evening. MR. RUSSELL-Good evening. My name is Whitney Russell. You may recognize me from our other application that we have going on. Tyler is my son,and the lucky dog is in Italy right now. So I'm here in his stead. As you just heard, we're looking at, we recently purchased a building that's been vacant for almost 20 years, rundown. When the traffic circle was created, they reconfigured the front of the lot to make it so it can't ever be a gas station again. We're proposing to put a bottle redemption center in there. We recently opened the one down on Ridge Street in the City of Glens Falls in the old Stewart's location. So if you've been by there you'll see how we cleaned that back up and,you know,put some nice signage up. Our goal is to re-paint the building There is not really much to do on the lot. Everything is paved already. We would like to soften it up a little bit, and we did talk about doing some plantings out in the front. I've done a little research an figured out that when they built the traffic circle,they put a couple of catch basins that are actually inside the curbing. So to be able to put like a fixed planter box out there,I'd be afraid that we would mess with the water flow,but we would be more than willing to do and would like to do something like half barrels or something that we could put some vegetation in to make it not look like a big concrete corner over there if we could. MR. TRAVER-Well that would be nice. I see you're going to paint the building. That'll certainly be a big improvement,and anything that can be done to sort of dress up that area will be nice. Is there,do you believe there's sufficient volume of bottle and can returns to have a second site and have it be worthwhile? MR. RUSSELL-I do. What I'm looking at is, if you take all of the subdivisions that are on the other side of the Northway, any of those places have to cross the Northway. So we're going to reduce traffic flow going across the Northway if anything, and now you're going to Price Chopper, Hannaford or like Minogue's or one of the beverage centers to return your bottles. MR. TRAVER-And especially with gas the way it is. MR. RUSSELL-Right. And, you know, the Glens Falls store we get a few people from Queensbury,but that's a pretty good trek,and they typically would pass Price Chopper or Hannaford before they would get to us,but the few people that have ventured down there have figured out that we are so much quicker than all the other places that it's definitely to their benefit. So we have a waiting list of people ready for us to open. MR. TRAVER-No kidding? Wow,that's good. MR. MAGOWAN-Are you going to look into like the Clink program? MR. RUSSELL-Our whole goal in this program is,in this day and age where we can't hire any help,is to go automated as much as possible, but we will not go to the Clink model or the retrieval center model where it's your responsibility to feed the machine or pre-count or put it in special bags. Basically you come in the door,you dump your bottles and cans on the table,and we have a person there that actually can talk to you and help you and get things sorted and counted. Typically a couple of 55 gallon bags of returnables, you can be out the door in three to five minutes. So our can counter can do 600 cans a minute. Our bottle counter is supposed,plastic bottle counter is supposed to do 600 a minute,but because of the weight of the tops,it tips them a little bit and about every 15`h one gets stuck so you have to give it a little pull,but still it's very fast. We average 2S to 30 customers a day in Glens Falls in an eight hour period and we're on track to do between a million and a million and a half cans in Glens Falls this year,bottles and cans. MR. DEE&Wow. 22 (Queensbury Planning Board 07/19/2022) MR. MAGOWAN-Another question if I may. The caps, now are the bottles and the caps two different plastics or they're asking for you kind of not to use the caps due to the fact of the weight and it tips and? MR. RUSSELL-The other problem is most of the places where, I think you go to Hannaford of Price Chopper,and you're feeding them in by hand,one at a time,that machine crushes those. So if there's a cap on it basically you're going to make a little explosion every time you crush that. So that's why those places don't want caps on them. Ours go back in one piece intact and Tomra is the company that has the contract with the State to collect all of that,or one of the companies. They are the company that handles this area, and they collect that. We filled a 4S foot tractor trailer full to the doors today. I see these trucks going up and down the road and they're hauling air. They're hauling a little bit of plastic and a little bit of aluminum and a whole lot of air,but the way their business model is set up and the DEC regs are,the bottle and cans have to go intact. MR. TRAVER-So, I'm trying to remember now. It's something like eight and a half cents per returnable and the customer gets five. Right,and you get the three and a half? MR. RUSSELL-Yes, we get the three and a half. And there is a proposed bottle bill that would change that and would increase the materials that get recycled. Right now things like milk jugs and things like that,those are not. Anything that has liquor in it is not. Vermont,Massachusetts,New Hampshire have all gone to deposits on those,those packaging parts, and when currently it's about 7S,I think,percent in New York State. The places that have gone to ten cents on plastic and aluminum and gone to fifteen cents on liquor bottles, and the other they've gone up to 920/o. The difference,you know, so many people say, A it's a nickel. It's a nickel,it's a nickel. Well you make it a dime,now,wait a minute,maybe we should reconsider. So the goal is to get it all recycled. That's what we're looking at,keeping it out of the landfill if we can get people to turn it into Trex decking so that when the folks want to build their deck,they can go get their Trex. MR. MAGOWAN-We did the Warren County Waste Recycling program. It was a good meeting today, but really it's amazing how many people throw out bottles,and these kids,I say,you know twenty of them are a dollar. I mean I still bend over and pick up a penny. Because a hundred of those are a dollar. MR. RUSSELL-I covered the store on Saturday. We had a guy come in with a little trailer behind his truck,and it was$19S is what he drove away with. MR. MAGOWAN-Well,it's funny you say that,but I had a five gallon jug,we started in 2003 as a square jar,and it was costing me too much money. So what we ended up doing is putting our recycling in there, you know, our five centers, and last year we cashed it in. It was $IIS4. So that's 12,000 bottles, that's 24,000 cans of soda since I don't drink. MR. DEEB-Can I ask you a question. Is the apartment still upstairs now? MR. RUSSELL-Yes. MR. DEEB-Are you going to use that as an apartment? MR. RUSSELL-Yes. That's one of the things we want to be able to do is keep that intact. MR. DEEB-Okay. Well it's good to see the building getting taken care of. Twenty years is a long time. MR. RUSSELL-Yes. The strange thing is that when they put the vinyl siding on it they basically vinyl sided over all the windows and doors on the whole back side of the building. They're still all there. When you're inside it's really odd because you're looking at the back side of siding. I guess it was a quick way to clean it up,but we're going to use all the existing lighting, the lighting that's on the building. We were actually looking today. We're going to take the interior in and put LED fixtures in. MR. DEEB-Downcast. MR. RUSSELL-Yes,they're already there. They're all under the soffits and they will be exactly there. MR. DIXON-Will any of the bottles be outside at any given time,or everything remains inside? MR. RUS SELL-The goal is to have nothing outside. Again,I don't want it to look like a depot. I want it to look respectable. We have nothing outside in Glens Falls. The last couple of days we've had a trailer there because we were cleaning up some debris that had been left behind,but there will be nothing outside. There will be a truck that comes to pick up the returnables and will leave and we'll have people coming in and unloading. The building has a pretty good size footprint for what we need. So we'll have plenty of storage on the inside of the building. MR. DIXON-Hours of operation? 23 (Queensbury Planning Board 07/19/2022) MR. RUSSELL-Ten to six. And that's Monday through Saturday. Closed Sundays. MR. DIXON-And there's a tractor trailer that comes in? MR. RUSSELL-Yes. And the back of the building is, a number just left my head,but I believe the back of the building is 5S feet long, and atypical trailer is 53 feet long. So when the truck is at the back of the building it will be the same size as the building. It won't be in the front of the building. It will be in the back. MR. DIXON-And will that always be there during normal business hours? Northing overnight,off hours? MR.RUSSELL-They come in now and pick it up. There is a chance that there could be a change in Tomra's business model where they would want to leave a trailer there. MR. TRAVER-It depends on your volume,right? MR.RUSSELL-Right. But again it would fit behind the building and the only way you would see it would be basically if you're coming down,heading west,I guess,and it would be the same size as the building. MR.DIXON-Okay,and for the proposed waste,the dumpster that's on the side facing Dixon Road,is that going to be enclosed? MR. RUSSELL-We can enclose that. I would prefer to enclose it,because being out there on a corner it's going to be a great place for all the neighbors to put their garbage if I don't. MR. MAGOWAN-I was more worried about leaving your bags out there,your bottles and all that. MR. RUSSELL-That's a good location. That's where basically where Sokol's had theirs was in that back corner,the next lot over. They can come in at a little bit of an angle,pick that stuff up,and stay out of the road, and it's a good spot because it'll also prevent people from trying to park or pull over on that side. MR. DIXON-I think it's a nice project. Nothing that I would ever say should be required,but if you can do anything more with green space,it is a big slab of concrete. Over time,try to. MR. RUSSELL-Yes, I would really like to do something,you know,put something there to green it up a little bit. I kind of got the wind taken out of my sails when I noticed that those two catch basins are there, right in the front, and the entire lot basically flows to that spot. So I'm going to have to be careful not to mess with that,but even on the,maybe even on the corners eventually we could do some type of something to soften it a little bit. MR. DIXON-That would be nice. I'm glad to see it being repurposed. It has been there for an awful long time. MR.TRAVER-It's funny you're mentioning the recyclables and the liquor bottles. It reminds me of many, many moons ago I was with a program helping people get jobs that had disabilities and one evening I got a call from one of my staff saying,geez we have an issue. One of the individuals was working in a kitchen in a restaurant, and I got an odd call one evening that,gee, we have a problem with,I'll just say the name Joe,that was not the person's name. Come to find out that one of the individual's responsibilities was to take the recycled bottles out and put them in the garbage, and they were taking the liquor bottles and occasionally there would be a tiny,tiny amount of liquor in each bottle. Well after an evening of 40 or 50 bottles,his performance was changing on the job and my staff was calling me and saying we have an issue with our friend here, and that story reminded me of that story. That was kind of unique. I had run into all kinds of issues with people on the job,but that was a new one to me,the recycled liquor bottles. MR. RUSSELL-Occasionally we'll have people that will bring in a can,you know, a can of beer that has never been opened and it's in the bag, and you just think to yourself, how long has that been in that bag sitting in the sun on your back porch. MR. TRAVER-Yes. MR. RUSSELL-Those are the ones that,whoever we don't like that day has to dump those out. MR.MAG OWAN-It's funny you say that. Remember the bear slides on the spot going up to North Creek you used to go down and they had the waterfalls. My buddy and I went up one time,we went on a sober trip there and not bring anything up. Well we got a little thirsty,got a little hot,but I actually went diving underneath the falls. Well people used to put their beers and all that on the edge of the river in the stream because the water was cold. Do you know how much was down there. Needless to say,it didn't matter, but they were cold.. 24 (Queensbury Planning Board 07/19/2022) MR. TRAVER-We do have a public hearing on this application, and I see we don't have any public left, but I'll ask if we have any written comments,Laura? PUBLIC HEARING OPENED MRS. MOORE-No,there are no written comments. MR. TRAVER-Okay. So we'll open and close the public hearing. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED MR. TRAVER-Is there any other further discussion on this application? Okay. I guess we have a draft resolution.

TRAVER-You are all set. MR. RUSSELL-Thank you very much. Our goal is to be open the first week in August. So if anybody's up in that area,please stop in. MR. DEEB-I drove by today. It's starting to take shape. MR. RUSSELL-Yes,just taking the boards off of the windows. I had a couple of neighbors from down the street that walk their dogs and they said what are you putting in there? And I said we're hoping to put a redemption center in here, and they said it looks so good with the windows unboarded. What a level of improvement,you know, taking the boards off the windows. So it'll look great. Thank you very much and hopefully we'll see you soon on the other one. MR. TRAVER-So,Laura,I saw there was a reminder about a stormwater presentation tomorrow evening? Available training. MRS. MOORE-Yes, it's available training to this Board. It's Jim Liebrum giving a presentation to the Zoning Board because the Zoning Board had asked for it,simply because they've been getting the requests for setback variances for stormwater devices. They thought they should know a little bit more. So it's available. It's Jim Liebrum presentation. More geared toward the Zoning Board,but you're welcome to attend. It takes one hour off of your required four hours. So if you're here. MR. TRAVER-Is this provided by Soil and Water? MRS. MOORE-Correct. MR. TRAVER-So it's the training we've already. MRS. MOORE-Yes,it's very similar. MR. TRAVER-All right. Thank you. Any other business before the Board this evening? If not we'll entertain a motion to adjourn.
