Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is the relationship of building size to lot size derived by dividing the total building square footage by the lot size in square feet, yielding a percentage. The maximum allowable FAR is 22 percent. ** Please note that FAR requirements are separate and distinct from the permeable area requirements that may apply. Building square footage includes all floors of the primary structure, covered porches, and basements (when at least three (3) feet in height of one (1) wall is exposed and the space meets the living space requirements as defined in Section 711 and 712 of the NYS Building Code — see reverse side of page. Detached storage buildings greater than 100 sq. ft. and detached garages are so included in the FAR calculations. Building square footage does not include: open decks, docks and that portion of covered docks extending into the water, and one shed 100 sq. ft. or less. All additional sheds are included in the FAR calculations. t EtzGt A Use/Location Existing Area (sq. ft.) Proposed Area (sq. ft.)

SIGNATURE OF APPLICANT: l ) Date Z-\3-EYI SIGNATURE OF AGENT: Date Z-\3-C) • Department of Community Development Queensbury Planning Board Staff Notes APPLICATION: Site Plan 13-2004 APPLICANT: David Menter is the applicant for this request. REQUESTED ACTION: The applicant proposes to construct a 3 story, 85 unit, 44,000 sq. ft. hotel, with associated parking, landscaping and lighting. LOCATION: The subject property is located on the Wakita Motel property at the northeast corner of Route 9 and Round Pond Rd. EXISTING ZONING: The property is zoned HC-Int, Highway Commercial Intensive. SEQRA STATUS: This application is a SEQRA Unlisted action. The applicant has included a SEQRA short form PARCEL HISTORY: A search of the parcel history found no previous Planning Board or ZBA activity for this property. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant proposes to construct an 85 unit, 3 story, 44,000 sq. ft. hotel on the existing Wakita Motel property. The site plan also proposes site lighting, landscaping, vehicular parking and stormwater management facilities. As part of the plan, two existing curb cuts on Route 9 will be consolidated into one access point on Route 9, while a new curb cut is proposed for Round Pond Rd. STAFF COMMENTS: Grading/Stormwater The applicant has submitted a grading plan and stormwater management plan and report, which has been submitted to CT Male for their review and comment. A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and NOI for the proposed project needs to be submitted to NYSDEC. Any comments from CT Male concerning Grading and Stormwater should be addressed as part of the review of this application. Visual Impact The site plan contains a sectional view that presents the hotel building in relation to the existing and proposed grades. What impact will the proposed grading and clearing have on the visibility of the proposed hotel? How will the existing vegetation that will remain impact views of this site from adjacent properties? SP 13-2004, David Menter • • March 23, 2004 Traffic Information concerning potential vehicle trips for the proposed use of this site has not been provided as part of the application materials. A review of ITE Trip Generation rates indicates that trip generation rates for motel uses are based on the number of employees and the number of occupied rooms. Staff has included the pages from the ITE manual that summarize the trip generation rates for motel uses. Additionally, Staff has included correspondence from A/GFTC, which provides traffic count data for Route 9 between Glen Lake Rd. and Round Pond Rd.; and for round Pond Rd. Pedestrian Access The site plan proposes to consolidate two curb cuts on Route 9 into one curb cut that will provide access to the new hotel building. As part of this curb cut consolidation, does the applicant propose to construct new sidewalks to connect to existing sidewalks along Route 9? Additionally, consideration should be given to constructing a sidewalk from the proposed hotel to Route 9 (along the north side of the proposed Route 9 access drive) in order to provide pedestrian access to the attractions on Route 9. Landscaping The interior parking lot landscaping and landscaping adjacent to the proposed hotel appear to conform the Zoning Ordinance requirements. However, the landscaping plan does not propose street trees along Route 9 or Round Pond Rd. as required by § 179-8-040 of the Zoning Ordinance as well as the Route 9 Design Guidelines. It should be noted that there appears to be a discrepancy between JP indicated on the planting schedule and JC indicated on the landscaping plan. Lighting The applicant has submitted a lighting plan and cut sheets for one type of light fixture proposed. As a general comment, the lighting plan does not contain enough information to provide complete comment. As a result, Staff has the following preliminary comments: - Cut sheets for the three different types of lights proposed need to be submitted - The location of all light fixtures should be indicated on the lighting plan - Are any wall packs proposed as part of the lighting plan? - Foot-candle values for the entire property should be provided - Based on the lighting grid supplied by the applicant, the foot-candle levels for the parking areas and driveways appear to be above illuminance levels listed in the Zoning Ordinance - The cut sheet for one of the freestanding light fixtures that has been provided is not a full cut- off fixture as required by the Zoning Ordinance - Are all proposed lights downcast fixtures? What are the proposed mounting angles for all freestanding light fixtures? - Existing light fixtures and foot-candle values should be presented on the lighting plan - The lighting plan should be prepared at a scale consistent with the rest of the site plan -2- SP 13-2004, David Menter • • March 23, 2004 Route 9 Design Guidelines This property is located within the Upper Route 9 Design area. The streetscape elements section of the Route 9 Design Guidelines calls for street trees along Route 9, sidewalks and lighting to conform to the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. As Staff has suggested, street trees, sidewalks and lighting that conforms to Zoning requirements should be reflected on the site plan as called for in the Zoning Ordinance. The applicant has included preliminary building elevations for the proposed hotel. At this time, detailed building elevations have not been submitted in support of the proposed site plan. -3- TOWN OF QUEENSBURY 742 Bay Road, Queensbury, NY, 12804-5902 Memorandum To: Planning Board From: George Hilton, Planner Date: May 27, 2004 Re: SP 13-2004, David Menter In response to the Planning Board tabling this item on March 23, 2004, the applicant has submitted additional and revised information including: - A revised stormwater management plan - A revised landscaping plan showing street trees 35 ' on center - A revised lighting plan - A visual analysis of the proposed construction from Route 9 The revised lighting plan contains light fixtures that appear to meet Zoning Ordinance requirements. Although that it appears that foot-candle averages for different areas of the site (parking area, building face, etc.) meet Zoning requirements, the applicant has provided an overall average, minimum and maximum for the site. Following the last meeting, the applicant's agent indicated that they would contact the State Office of Historic Preservation regarding potential historic or archaeological resources on site. The applicant should confirm whether or not this inquiry has been made. NYSDOT has issued comment on the revised one-way entrance to this site from Route 9. This comment seems to indicate that this proposed access is acceptable to NYSDOT. As this project involves the disturbance of one or more acres, a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and Notice of Intent (NOI) are required to be submitted. Staff suggests a condition that a copy of the required NOI be submitted prior to the issuance of a building permit related to this site plan. TOWN OF QUEENSBURY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT 0 TOWN OF QUEENSBURY 742 Bay Road, Queensbury, NY. 12804-5902 Memorandum To: Queensbury Planning Board From: Steve Smith, Queensbury Fire Marshal Date: May b, 2004 Re: Site Plan Reviews - Requests of Queensbury Central Fire Chief Nl°,Y 0 i; :uC' The Fire Marshal's Office reviewed the following site plans on Wednesday May 5, 2004 with Joseph Duprey, Chief of the Queensbury Central Fire Company. His comments are as follows: W akita Motel The only item that was of concern to Chief Duprey was the location of the proposed fire hydrant on the property in question. As planned, the hydrant would be located just off Round Pond Road as you enter the new driveway. While convenient, the location may cause some problems with access if the hydrant is put into operation. Traditionally, when a fire apparatus "lays a line" from the hydrant, the hose will block further access to that road for any other vehicles. Chief Duprey, with the agreement of the Fire Marshal's office, is requesting one of two options be considered: add a second hydrant on the property, located towards the far end of parking lot, OR, relocate the planned hydrant to this new location near the end of parking lot Willowbrook Road Adult Livina Facility (Schermerhorn) Chief Duprey had no items of concern for this plan. Great Escape Hotel & Wateroark Chief Duprey has one item of concern with this plan. It has been reported by principals in this case that the bill where the hotel will be located is slated to be graded down, with the fill being placed into the pre-existing parking lots to the south of the Coachman Restaurant. Chief Duprey, and the Fire Marshal's office, both feel that there is a potential to cause parking(emergency vehicle access problems on the opposite side of Route 9 because of this plan As the fill is being placed into the pre-existing parking lots on the west side of Route 9, those parking lots will more than likely be shut down thereby creating a parking shortage for the park. Consequently, we expect the overflow of cars to cause some problems at the "north gate" of the park on the east side of Route 9. The road serving the north gate must be kept open and passable for fire apparatus at all times when the park is in operation. Walker Lane Subdivision Expansion Chief Duprey voiced serious concern about this proposed expansion. It is the feeling of the fire company, and the Fire Marshal's office, that there is already a concern about accessibility on Walker Lane without this proposed expansion. The problem is one of congestion. Walker Lane is the only way to access the residential neighborhoods of Baybridge and the Walker Lane Apartments. If there was a serious fire in one of these neighborhoods, Walker Lane could be shut down entirely to utilize the fire hydrants. This would place an unreasonable hardship, in our opinions, on the residents who already live there. For example, if Walker Lane was closed down for a fire at one of the apartment buildings, the residents of Baybridge would, effectively, be "trapped" in their neighborhood until the emergency bad passed. If another emergency should arise during this TOWN OF QUEENSBURY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT r L_ May 6, 2004 time, it would be nearly impossible to get additional help to that scene. Chief Duprey also voiced concern about the layout of the proposed new access road into the expansion area. As proposed, the access road is not wide enough in a couple of areas, and the turning radius is questionable also. When considering access roads through residential multi -family housing, the Fire Marshal's office and the fire company always look at the plan as if the parking lot were full of cars. Assuming full occupancy, a fire at three in the morning would probably also mean a full parking lot. Please feel free to respond to any of the comments or concerns raised herein It is my intention to try and satisfy the requirements of the board, as well as accommodate the needs of our Emergency Services. Thank you for your consideration R7en ly, S Queensbury Fire Marshal • 0 TOWN OF QUEENSBURY ,42 Bay Road, Qaecnsbary, NY. 12804-5902 Memorandum To: Queensbury Planning Board From: Steve Smith, Fire Marshal Date: May 26, 2004 Re: Waldta Motel Site Plan RECED VED ; r, y T00A S� U Per < I met with Mr. Menter, Mr. Lapper, and Mr. McElroy today, along with Chris Round and George Hilton, for the purpose of addressing my comments of May 6 regarding this project. My previous comments expressed the concerns of Queensbury Central Fire Chief Joe Duprey about the location of the new fire hydrant shown on the site plan. At that time, Chief DuPrey felt that a better location for this hydrant would be closer to the rear of the parking lot. The agreement among everyone present at today's meeting was that a better location for the hydrant would be approximately half -way up the access road. This new location would place the hydrant on the opposite side of the driveway from where it is now, and directly across from the main entrance to the building. Chief DuPrey has reviewed this change and has no further comment.

If you consider the project area to be disturbed, documentation of the disturbance will need to be reviewed by OPRHP. Examples of disturbance include mining activities and multiple episodes of building construction and demolition. A Phase 1 survey is designed to determine the presence or absence of archeological sites or other cultural resources in the projecVs area of potential effect. The Phase 1 survey is divided into two progressive units of study including a Phase lA sensitivity assessment and initial project area field inspection, and a Phase 1B subsurface testing program for the project area. The OPRHP can provide standards for conducting cultural resource investigations upon request. Cultural resource surveys and survey reports tf at meet these standards will be accepted and approved by the OPRHP. our office does not conduct cultural resources surveys. A 36 CFR 61 qualified archeologist should be retained to conduct the Phase 1 survey. Many archeological consulting firms advertise their availability in the yellow pages. The services of qualified archeologists can also be obtained by contacting local, regional, or statewide professional archeological organizations. Phase 1 surveys can be expected to vary in cost per mile of right-of-way or by the number of acres impacted. We encourage you to contact a number of consulting firms and compare examples of each fiirm's work to obtain the best product. Documentation of ground disturbance should include a description of the disturbance with confirming evidence. Confirmation can include current photographs and/or older photographs of the project area which illustrate the disturbance (approximately keyed to a project area map), past maps or site plans that accurately record previous disturbances, or current soil borings that verify past disruptions to the land. Agricultural activity is not considered to be substantial ground disturbance and many sites have been identified in previously cultivated land. Please also be aware that a Section 233 permit from the New York State Education Department (SED) may be necessary before any archeological survey activities are conducted on State-owned land.If any portion of the project includes the lands of New York State you should contact the SED before initiating survey activities.The SED contact is Christina e. Rieth and she can be reached at (518) 402-5975, section 233 permits are not required for projects on private lands. If you have any questions concerning archeology, please contact Michael Schifferll at 518-237-8643. ext 3281 hrrn•//snhinx/PR/PNMeadForm.asp?iPrn-l&iFId=6906&sSFile=fottlt4.htm 4n1o4 THOMAS C.

Komoroske, Warren County Residency 320—Motel A motel is defined as a place of lodging offering only sleeping accommodations and possibly a restaurant. The average employment at motels is much lower than that for hotels. The motels surveyed ranged in employment density between 0.22 and 0.58 employees per room. The size of motels surveyed ranged between 15 and 345 rooms. Trip Characteristics: On the average, motels gener- ate 10.1 weekday vehicle trip ends per oc- cupied room and 12.8 vehicle trip ends per employee. Saturday and Sunday vehicle trip generation is lower than the average weekday, as shown in the following generation rate ta- bles. Data Limitations: The same limitations of data exist for motels as for hotels. This analysis has indi- cated motel average weekday vehicle trip rates to be almost double that of previously made summaries. The reason for this higher rate is that this analysis was based on the number of occupied rooms. It is best to collect data on both total rooms and total occupied rooms to eliminate any misunderstanding in the rate analysis.
