Project Applicant: SCHERMERHORN/BAYBROOK PROFESSIONAL PARK
Application No.: Subdivision 9-2000 - Sketch Stage
Project Location: Bay Road
Zone: Multifamily Residential - 5,000 square feet
SEQR Status: Unlisted
Meeting Date: November 28, 2000
Project Description
The applicant proposes a twenty—one lot subdivision of 81.86+/- acres. Twenty of the lots are
proposed for a professional office use. The remaining 62 acres or lot number 21 may be utilized
for residential/office use in the future. The project is located in the multifamily residential zone.
Study of plat (§ Al83)
• Lot;r an eg ment: The parcels are arranged around the wetland setback requirements
and the zoning requirements of the Multi -family residential zone.
• Location and design of streets: There are two proposed access points from Bay Road,
an internal cul-de-sac, and an interconnection provided to lot number 21.
• Topography: The site requires approximately two feet of grading.
• Water supply: A municipal water supply connection is proposed
• Sewage disposal: A municipal sewer connection is proposed.
• Drainage: The proposed project will use a series of catch -basins, culverts, and
drainage easements.
• Lot sizes: The lots exceed the 10,000 square foot required for non-residential
establishments.
• Placement of utilities: The sketch plan identifies the water and sewer lines.
• Future development: The applicant proposes 20 professional office buildings.
• Land Use Plan and Zoning Ordinance: The project is located in Neighborhood 9.
The CLUP recommends commercial office, cultural and mixed uses to be developed
along Bay Road. The proposed ordinance design guidelines encourage a corridor
affect along Bay Road and buildings with residential appearance.
• State Environmental Quality Review Act: The applicant has completed a short
environmental assessment form. The Board may want to consider requesting a full
environmental assessment form be completed to evaluate the impact on the wetland
area.
• Town departments: The application was provided to the Water, Wastewater and
Highway Department for review and comment.
Areas of Concern or Importance
The following items should be addressed in the preliminary application:
• Density: Information should be provided indicating Lots 9, 10, 13, 17, 19 have the 10,000
square feet of buildable area. The wetlands square footage on each of the lots should be
subtracted to determine the buildable area
• Wetlands: Army Corp and DEC wetlands should be identified on the plan
• Landscape Plan: Clarification should be provided for Sheet S4 note 'Buffer Planting
Between Commercial and Residential". If all 20 lots are for offices (commercial), it is
not clear why a buffer planting is shown
• Southern access point - street should be at right angles for approx. 100 ft. This plan
show 0-6 eet. Per section A183-23 of the Town Code
• Pon o e filled in: The pond is located within the 100 feet wetland buffer area. Does
the pond have a DEC classification?
• Encouragement of cultural and educational operations along with the professional office
based on the 1998 comprehensive plan.
• Full Environmental Assessment Form due to the wetlands on the property.

Sketch Plan Review
Dear Mr. Round:
NOV 17 2002�y
TOWN OF P QUEENSBURY
A NG OFFICE
We are in receipt of a Concept Subdivision Plan and an application for Sketch Plan Review for
the referenced project and offer the following comments:
As a general observation, this particular section of Bay Road is developing at a relatively
fast rate. With the increased number of proposed curb cuts off Bay Road (and resulting
intersections), it may behoove the Town to work with the County in restriping the section of
roadway from Cronin Road to ACC. This project, if approved as submitted, would create
two new intersections, resulting in a total of five within approximately Y4 mile. Since the
road is quite wide, a striping scheme such as a shared center turn lane may be effective in
maintaining operating levels. .
2. Another general layout comment pertains to the dead-end streets within the development.
There are two dead -ends which will apparently serve the other adjacent parcel in the future.
These dead -ends should contain turnarounds adequately sized to accommodate a snow
plow. Also, the issue of who intends on owning the roads will need to be determined.
3. The applicant should provide a worst -case traffic peak hour generation estimate for this
parcel and for the adjoming parcel, assuming the lot is developed consistent with current
zoning. Depending on the level of new traffic, off -site mitigation may be warranted as the
project progresses.
4. Understanding that this project is at the Schematic Phase, we would recommend that the
setback lines be placed on each of the proposed lots to better understand the buildout
potential of this parcel. It appears that, due to the wetland setback limits and the size and
shape of some of the lots, it may not be feasible to develop as indicated.
5. The proposed southern entrance drive should enter Bay Road at a true 90 degree
intersection with at least 100 feet of tangent section as per Town Code. It appears to
intersect Bay Road on a horizontal curve.
6. The size, location and capacity of the water main on Bay Road should be confirmed. Also,
is the proposed Baybridge sewer pumping station being designed/built to accommodate a
potentially large scale development such as this, given the possibility of future development

on the adjacent parcel. The applicant should provide projected water and sewer loads for at
least this phase.
7. The Concept Plan shows wetland limits (flagged) which are likely NYS DEC wetlands. The
Plan also shows a pond within 10 feet of the wetland and a stream tributary to the same
wetland area. It is possible that the wetland boundary would encompass all of these
features, not just the one area indicated.
8. As a general Storm Water Management comment, it does not appear that any type of
detention is proposed prior to direct discharge into the wetland area. We question why
detention is not proposed despite the fact that the off -site rate of discharge may not increase
significantly after development
If you have any questions related to our comments, feel free to call our office.

If the installations are carved out as presented in the plans, with the exception of the
following modifications, this project will meet the requirements of this department subject to the
regulations and general requirements relating to this project in the Town of Queensbury.
♦ Relocate hydrant by lot #18 to the end of main by Lot 919.
♦ Add a third valve by lot # 17 at the intersection.
Once construction is completed, your water mains must be pressure tested to AWWA

Memorandum
To: Chris Round, Marilyn Ryba
From: Laura Moore P1*1--
Date: October 23, 2000
Re: Bay Brook Subdivision
Planning Staff and the applicant met on October 18, 2000 to review a revised proposal for a
portion of the Bay Brook Subdivision. Individuals present include, Chris Round -Executive
Director, Marilyn Ryba -Senior Planner, Dennis Brower -Supervisor, Rich Schermhom -
applicant, Jon Lapper -applicant's attorney, Tom Noce -applicant's engineer.
The original Bay Brook subdivision was about 82 acres having frontage on Bay Road and
Meadow Brook Road. The property is zoned multifamily residential 5,000 square feet. The
applicant has had the site evaluated for wetlands and found of 82 acres 16.5 acres are
wetland.
The applicant proposes to subdivide a portion of the property (18.5 acres) along Bay Road
into 17 lots for professional office space. The buildings would be located within 600 feet of
Bay Road. This meets the existing code requirement of having office buildings within 1000
feet of Bay Road.
The applicant expressed interest in corridor and site landscaping. The applicant has
reviewed the proposed ordinance design guidelines and an article in the post star in regards
to corridor plantings. The applicant intends to meet the guidelines proposed, but would
perform such work during site -plan review and not subdivision review. Staff indicated the
Planning Board might request landscaping plans during subdivision review if the Board felt it
was necessary.
Our discussion also included interconnection. The applicant indicated there would be a
connection from residential to the Office portion so neither is landlocked. The applicant also
indicated the need for professional office came from clients approaching him to build such
offices.
The applicant indicated they would make a submission on October 25, 2000 for the
November agenda.
