If you'd please make note of the illuminated exit signs. Those are the emergency exits in the event that we have an emergency. If you have a cell phone or other type of electronic device,if you would either turn it off or turn the ringer off,so as not to interrupt our proceedings,we would appreciate that,and also, aside from the public hearings,and we have a number of them this evening,we ask that if you wish to have a conversation amongst yourselves, if you would go to the outer lobby to do that because we do record the proceedings and it can be sometimes confusing to the clerk trying to interpret what is being said. And with that we'll begin. We have a few administrative items this evening. The first is Site Plan 55-2022 and Special Use Permit 4-2022 for Southern Gateway Renewables. ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS: SITE PLAN 55-2022&z SUP 4-2022 SOUTHERN GATEWAY RENEWABLES —REQUEST FOR A I YEAR EXTENSION MR. TRAVER-This is a request for a one year extension. Laura?

So they're asking for their first extension. MR. TRAVER-Okay. MR.MAGOWAN-Excuse me,Mr.Chairman. I would just like to go on record that this is Warren County property. I have no monetary value or anything,but it's been through negotiations. I've been thereon the site,but I don't feel that,I just want to go in the record stating that,but I think for an extension it's a great project,the northern and the southern. So unless you feel I should step aside,just giving the option, Mr. Chairman. MR. TRAVER-I think for an extension that's fine. I think when we get to Site Plan you probably should recuse yourself because you're directly involved. Any other questions, concerns with this request? We have a motion.

SITE PLAN NO.56-2023 SEQR TYPE: TYPE II. NEW POTATO CREEK HOLDING,LLC(TIDAL WAVE). AGENT(S): BOHLER ENGINEERING. OWNER(S): EVEREST ENTERPRISES,LLC. ZONING: CI. LOCATION: 900 STATE ROUTE 9.

WARREN CO.REFERRAL: AUGUST 2023. LOT SIZE: 1.72 ACRES. TAX MAP NO.296.17-1-47. SECTION: 179-3-040. CARYN MLODZIANOWSKI,REPRESENTING APPLICANT,PRESENT MR. TRAVER-Laura? MRS. MOORE-So this application is for construction of a car wash of 3,910 square feet and construction of a canopy of 2,730 square feet which will include 22 vacuums, a variety of accessory structure for a pay kiosk, vacuum services and the building colors will be the blues associated with the Tidal Wave brand. The applicant did revise the elevation drawings. The revised plans show the vacuum canopy structure with a one-sided access and the building elevations revised show the glass area visible for the tunnel sections have been reduced. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you. Good evening. Welcome back. MS. MLODZIANOWSKI-Good evening. Nice to see you again. Caryn Mlodzianowski with Bohler Engineering for the record. So as Laura mentioned, we have made a significant change and reduction to the amount of glazing within the building. So I'll walk you through that this evening. If you want,Laura, do you have the previous drawings? Just as a refresher,this was the previous version that you looked at a month ago. As far as the building elevations go, so the top view is the north side and the bottom view is the south side of the building. So in that previous version which is their new design that they're going with, there was about 77.60/o glazing on the north side, and we've gone ahead and reduced that down to 30.20/o, which I'll show when we flip to the new version, and then the south side had 41.9% glazing and we've reduced that to 20.1%. So it has been a significant reduction in the glazing through the design of the buildings. So essentially we went from grade level to roof level glazing and windows and switched t that out to just regular windows so that it'll have a lot more facade area. If you want to flip to the new version. It will look a lot different. And operationally as well,Tidal Wave,the reason they want all of the glazing is that they do actually use that for employees from the outside of the building to walk down outside of the tunnel and be able to see in for any items that need maintenance,see how things are running, things like that,while it is operating,since they wouldn't have the ability to do so within the tunnel itself. So that is important to them to have the glazing. This is somewhat similar to the other location here that's built, that also has seven windows as well. So they do want to maintain some of that. They also don't want people to feel claustrophobic within the tunnel itself. So we feel that this is a good compromise and are excited to getting the Board's thoughts. MR. TRAVER-So generally speaking it's about a 50%reduction on each side from what you originally. MS. MLODZIANOWSKI-Approximately 50%. MR. TRAVER-Okay, and so the employees actually walk along the vehicles but on the outside of the building to observe? MS. MLODZ IANOWSKI-They'll walk outside the tunnel and look in to observe. MR. TRAVER-Okay. So what do they do in the existing structure that's on Quaker Road where there's no windows? Are they actually inside with the vehicle as it goes through? MS. MLODZIANOWSKI-So the one on Quaker Road,the side of that building does have windows now. MR. TRAVER-It does? MS. MLODZIANOWSKI-Yes. MR. TRAVER-Okay. I haven't been through it. 4 (Queensbury Planning Board 09/26/2023) MS. MLODZIANOWSKI-Yes. MR. TRAVER-Okay. All right. Questions,comments from members of the Board? MR. DIXON-I think it's an improvement. I know one of the questions or comments that you had made the last time you presented was this shouldn't be significant anyway because your hours of operation are only going to be until about S p.m.? MS. MLODZIANOWSKI-That's correct. MR. DIXON-I must be blowing by it,because I don't see where we have hours defined. Was that in the packet at all? MS. MLODZIANOWSKI-I'm not 1000/o sure,but the intent is that the hours would be from S to S. MR. TRAVER-You can include that in your resolution. MR. DIXON-That would be the only concern that I had. And I know we've got SEQR in front of us as well,and there were comments regarding traffic. I didn't see any issue,but I'm obviously not speaking for the entire Board. MR. TRAVER-We did close the public hearing on this application in August. Were there any other changes to the Site Plan other than the glazing on the building? MRS. MOORE-I didn't see anything. MS. MLODZIANOWSKI-There have not been. MR.TRAVER-Okay. So,aside from the change in the glass area of a reduction of about 500/o,it's essentially the same project we previously reviewed. MS. MLODZIANOWSKI-It was just down to architecture as I understood it last time,yes. MR. TRAVER-Right. Any other questions,comments from members of the Board before we proceed? MR. ETU-I think it's a significant reduction. It's more than 500/o. In one case it's almost 60010 less glazing on the other side. MR. TRAVER-Okay. MR. MAGOWAN-I got my package and I did a dance. I was very pleased for the compromise. I couldn't sleep last night I was so excited to be here tonight. I'm only here for this one application then I'm going home, no I'm kidding. I just want to say I want to reach out to Bohler and New Potato Creek Holdings LLC and thank them for the reduction. It's a little bit more in line. I did read walking on the outside and looking in. I thought that was a little bit of a stretch,but after reviewing the inside, it's pretty even on either side. I guess it would be pretty wet to see. So I understand,but I just wanted to reach out and say thank you,sorry,but I think this is a much better fit for this location. It was brought to my attention from some other people that have traveled that have seen your major glazing stores and they kind of laughed at me and said,Brad,it does,it looks like a discotheque. So at least I'm not as crazy as everybody thought at one time,but I wanted to just reach out and say thank you. MS. MLODZIANOWSKI-We appreciate that. MR. TRAVER-Anything else before we consider the environmental impact? Okay. So this is an Unlisted action. Does anybody have any concerns regarding the environmental impacts, after looking at the information? Hearing none,I guess we can proceed with that. RESOLUTION GRANTING A NEGATIVE SEQR DEC.

JON LAPPER&r NICK ZEGLEN,REPRESENTING APPLICANT,PRESENT 7 (Queensbury Planning Board 09/26/2023) MR. TRAVER-Laura? MRS.MOORE-So this project is at 407 Big Bay. We talked about this. They recently constructed a 16,000 square foot building and the site also has a 4,324 square foot building on the site. They're application included a variance that was granted, and this was in regards to parking. The project plan shows 51 parking spaces where 54 spaces are required. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you. Good evening. Welcome back. MR. ZAPPER-Good evening,everyone. For the record,Jon Lapper with Nick Zeglen from Environmental Design and Joe Gross the owner. With your sendoff of recommending all three of these last time the Zoning Board unanimously approved the variances. They also thought this was relatively minor. When we get to the third project which is the one in back which is the Gross Electric,there was a neighbor that was here last,I believe at the Zoning Board and also I see tonight,who was concerned about the buffer and I just wanted to say,we'll talk about it in a minute,but this Board had required a berm and a fence. That hasn't been installed yet because the Town Board waterline is still being installed on the property, it's about two weeks away, and that buffer will be installed per the site plan as soon as possible. MR. TRAVER-And that's on the third item? MR. ZAPPER-That's on the third one. MR. TRAVER-Okay. So we'll discuss that when it comes up. MR. ZAPPER-And 407 which is the northernmost parcel,this is where the connection is made so that the traffic can circulate, and it's just parking spaces and that was just to make the turning radius work for the connection, and the Zoning Board thought that because there's parking on the other side, there was no issues at all. MR. TRAVER-Okay. So there's been no changes as result of the ZBA review. Questions,comments from members of the Board? There is a public hearing on this application. Is there anyone in the audience that wanted to address the Planning Board on the JP Gross Properties, this being Site Plan 58-2023? I'm not seeing any takers. Are there written comments,Laura? PUBLIC HEARING OPENED MRS. MOORE-No written comments. MR. TRAVER-All right. In that case we will close the public hearing. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED MR. TRAVER-This is an Unlisted SEQR that we have an opportunity to reaffirm. Does anyone feel the changes that we looked at and were approve for the variances that were approved by the ZBA had any additional environmental impacts that would require us to change our original SEQR? Okay. RESOLUTION REAFFIRMING A NEGATIVE SEQR DEC.

The tee area of 1500 square feet,the hydro seeded area of 4,460 square feet. There's a tree clearing limit of 6,950 square feet. There's project work within the shoreline and I'll correct myself. David asked a question earlier in regards to buffer requirements for specific shorelines. This Round Pond would be considered needing a shoreline buffer. However this project actually is greater than 20 feet. So it does not need one. But I just wanted to correct myself. I told David something different earlier. MR. TRAVER-Thank you. MRS.MOO RE-Other than that,it's primarily for Hole One. As you've driven by there you obviously know there's some work being done on the site. They have obtained their MS-4 coverage. I think that's the right term,and then so there's work being done on Holes 5,10,12 and 16. 17 (Queensbury Planning Board 09/26/2023) MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you. Good evening. MR.ZAPPER-Good evening,everyone. For the record,Jon Lapper with project engineer Tom Center.

So on your recommendation the Town Board did re-zone it and so now it's a permitted use,and that allows them to go and do,you know,initially, some minor projects important to the Golf Course,but as Laura mentioned,and we're here tonight for,it's all 1000/o impervious to 1000/o impervious. There's a couple of tee lots. There's a couple of greens and fairways which everyone appreciated because now it's a permitted use. So this is the only one that required Planning Board, Site Plan Review because of the proximity to Round Pond but what's going on here,and the reason for this,is the Golf Course was Donald Ross,the famous golf course designer,and Tom knows the issue better than me,but at some point Round Pond Road went in and at some point power lines went in,and it changed it a little bit from what was the original design, and the idea here is it's important because it's the first tee box is to move it back so that it's a longer hole and to the original location of the Donald Ross design,and that's all that this is about. So there are some trees that grew up behind it that have to be taken down. Again, everything's going to be permeable and there's still trees between here and the pond and no one's going to see it across the pond, but I'll let Tom give you the details. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Thank you. MR. CENTER-It's pretty straightforward erosion and sediment control project that we're looking at. We provided the silt fence predominantly for erosion and sediment control. There'd be clearing,as Laura said, just under seven thousand square feet of tree clearing. We're creating a sodded walk up in the front of the green, creating a 1500 square foot tee box, and then hydro seeding the entire area. It's a golf course crew that actually came up from New Jersey that's doing the work. Fall's the best time to get grass established and a healthy growth before next spring. So these guys know what they're doing. They're very professional,good hydro seed there and stabilization. You can see from the other projects they've got the silt fence up and they're maintaining everything in there. It's a pretty straightforward project at this point. We'd take any questions that you have. MR. TRAVER-Okay. Questions,comments from members of the Board? MR. MAGOWAN-I see this hasn't affected too many golfers. I see them out there getting around. So that's great. MR. DIXON-So am I reading the plans right? So there's over an acre of trees that are going to be removed then? MR. CENTER-There's seven thousand square feet of trees on this project. Over the total of the entire project,including all the other holes,that's what we had to fill out for a Notice of Intent to get the MS-4 signoff is all the work totaled more than an acre of disturbance,the holes that weren't subject to site plan review, that's the reason for the Notice of Intent. We're only here for this one piece. That's only seven thousand square feet of disturbance in this spot,or on this hole. The total area of disturbance,5,960 square feet,that you see on the right hand box,this is tee box,the entire area to be disturbed is 5,960 square feet. MR. DEEB-Do you have any idea how many,the number of trees that are going to be taken down? MR. CENTER-I don't know. There's skinny trees,large trees. There's quite a few in there,but I mean the way,what they're trying to do is to get back to the original distance for this hole when the County put the road in. So I know that these,the dimensions and the parameters for this were done by a golf course designer and then handed over to me to maintain the stormwater and the erosion control, and there's still a buffer between the tee box area and Round Pond. MR. TRAVER-And when the course was created those trees were not there,correct? So they grew up as the result of the course having to be changed because of the modern infrastructure. MR. CENTER-That's our understanding. MR. TRAVER-So this is a restoration,essentially,of what originally was designed. MR. DEEB-One more question. I assume that,do they use pesticides on the tees? MR. CENTER-I'm not familiar with that. MR. DEEB-It's right on the lake. MR. CENTER-It's right on Round Pond. That's correct. 1S (Queensbury Planning Board 09/26/2023) MR. DEEB-There's concern, and I've got to believe they'd have to use, they probably use pesticides. I'm just worried about the environmental impact. MR. ZAPPER-It's on Round Pond right now. MR. DEEB-Yes,the smaller tee. The one up front. MR. ZAPPER-Yes. MR. DEEB-Which is smaller than what's there now,what's going to be there. Right? MR. CENTER-It is graded to drain from the tee box down into the green area to the east. So nothing is, what we're doing,everything is draining away from the pond. MR. DEEB-From the pond. MR. CENTER-There's no change in the flow of direction and part of what we had to do for the Notice of Intent was there's no increase in runoff rate or quantity,plus it does,like I said,it does drain toward a low section and into the green area. MR.DEEB-All right. You know how I hate seeing trees get cut down,but in this case this is a unique case, a golf course,you're going to improve it. MR.MAGOWAN-The question I have,you talk about Round Pond Road going in there,but there used to be a railroad track that went right along,and even along Round Pond Road,you could see right on the edge of Country Club,it used to go all the way down to Glen Lake,to get ice back in the day. MR. ZAPPER-Now we go to Stewart's. MR. MAGOWAN-But you said the road wasn't there. Most of the roads that have been developed were either,you know, tracks and railroad tracks that have been turned over. So I was just a little confused, but my main concern is really making sure that the runoff rolls away from the lake with pesticides and even the nitrates you worry about, because there's some big, big snappers in that pond, and there's also some big rainbow. I did catch an 1S inch out of there one time and it shocked me,out of a 99 cent nip from Wal-Mart and I couldn't believe it. I was just playing around out there. MR. DEEB-When I was a kid there used to be, it was called Paradise Lake. It had a swimming resort, arcade. That was one of the nicest lakes to ever swim in. I remember it as a kid. Cold,spring fed. MR. TRAVER-Anything else from the Board? MR. STARK-I think this is a good project, Mr. Chairman. They went over the plans for runoff. It goes east. It doesn't go near the lake. So I would be in favor of this. MR. TRAVER-There is a public hearing on this application as well. Is there anyone in the audience that wanted to comment to the Planning Board on Site Plan 62-2023? Not seeing any takers, are there 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-This is a SEQR Type II. So no additional action is required. Any last items from members of the Board before we consider Site Plan? No? Okay.
