[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Board of the Town of Malta as indicated in section histories. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Adopted 6-6-1967]
A. 
(NOTE: The Town Board at its June 6, 1967, meeting passed motion approving Planned Development No. 1 known as "Bellevue Gardens" in accordance with the conditions and provisions contained in a letter to Dominick Lucarelli dated May 23, 1967. The contents of that letter are as follows.)
Mr. Dominick Lucarelli
RD#2 Ballston Lake, N.Y.
SUBJECT: Planned Development District #1 (Bellevue Gardens)
REFERENCE:
(A)
Letter, Marion Morris to Ernest Kunz, Dated 3/9/67
(B)
Letter, D. Lucarelli to Town Board of Malta dated 3/7/67, requesting a variance to the Malta Zoning Ordinance
(C)
Map No. 1 of Bellevue Gardens, Town of Malta, by Ferdinand Rapant, dated 9/28/66, as marked
(D)
Letter from Planning Board dated 3/29/67
Dear Mr. Lucarelli:
The Town Board of the Town of Malta has reviewed (A), (B), (C), and (D) submits its findings as follows:
I.
Reference (B) requests a zoning variance. In accordance with the subject ordinance, zoning variances are considered by the Zoning Board of Appeals and not the Planning Board. However, in reviewing the map which Mr. Lucarelli presented as Reference (C), it appears that the approval request is for a subdivision. In as much as the Town of Malta does not yet have an Official Subdivision Regulation, under certain conditions, Reference (C) could be approved under Article 7, Planned Development District of the Malta Zoning Ordinance.
II.
Reference (B) also requests that the district in which Reference (C) lies be changed from R1 To R4. The Planning Board considers that such a change is contrary to the intent of the subject ordinance by virtue of the fact that the R4 districts were created only to provide regulations for the two existing unusually densely populated areas, namely Round Lake Village and certain housing along the Saratoga Lake shore front.
The Planning Board of the Town of Malta does recommend approval of a planned development as presented under Reference (C) because it is believed that the proposed development will be a stimulant and asset to the Town's future growth, and the soil strats and drainage are suited for such a development; however, in order to comply with the spirit and intent of the Subject ordinance, such approval is herewith submitted only providing that the Reference (C) map is modified to include the following regulations (Nos. 1 through 15), and that after the map has been completely modified and due public hearings have been held, the map is recorded with the Saratoga County Clerk before any building permit is issued. These regulations are:
1.
The district under consideration shall be know as the Planned Development District #1 of the Town of Malta.
2.
Said Planned Development District #1 shall consist of all lands contained within the outer periphery of the lands dimensional on the Reference (C) map including all those additional required for the central water system. The use of lands not included as numbered lots, including lot number seven, shall be submitted for separate approval at a later date, and be marked "omit." The lots of A, Scofield and Stanley Raylinsky shall be numbered as "4A" and "4B" respectively.
3.
The total area in square feet shall be listed for each numbered lot.
4.
The center lines of crossroads shall be exactly in line with each other, and their angle of intersection shall be 90 degrees + or - 10 degrees.
5.
The proposed central water system shall be controlled by a New York State corporation.
6.
The proposed central water system shall be approved by the New York State Board of Health, the New York State Conservation Dept./Division of Water Resources, and, if necessary, the New York State Public Service Commission.
7.
The proposed central water system shall be installed to the following minimum specifications:
a.
The central water system shall be service-rated for a working pressure of 150 psig.
b.
Piping material shall be asbestos cement, PVC, and/or copper manufactured in conformance with a nationally approved specification such as ASA or AWWA.

The water system shall be sized so that each dwelling of the District is capable of simultaneously receiving 3 gpm at a head of 40 psig for one hour.
e.
All piping except the dwelling line shall be within a road right-of-way but not under the double treated surface, and be underground with at least a five foot ground cover and surrounded by one foot minimum of compacted fill sand.
f.
At least two fire hydrants of nationally approved construction and non-corrosive trim, each with 4-1/2" and two 2-1/2" national standard thread connections, shall be located at the edge of the road right-of-way and within the District to provide best coverage to all dwellings.
g.
Each roadway main, and each dwelling lateral, shall contain an isolation valve of non-corrosive trim. Each such valve shall be located at the edge of the road right-of-way, with a rod and curb box extending to grade level.
h.
Delineation of the water Supply System shall be modified to reflect the change from individual driven wells on each lot to the central water system.
8.
The survey of the proposed roads shall be approved by the County and Town Highway Superintendents, and provide a typical section with a minimum depth and width as shown on the drawings, "New Development Roads in Town of Malta," dated January 1964. The right-of-way of Raylinsky Road shall be increased to 50 feet as lot #4B to provide a uniform width of roadway at no cost to the Town of Malta.
9.
Before any one building permit is issued a performance bond must be presented to the Town Board of the Town of Malta sufficient in the opinion of the Town Board of Malta to guarantee the completion of roadways, drainage, ditches, culverts, central water system and the roadway itself to provide direct access to the proposed building for which a building permit is being requested in accordance with the requirement in reference (C) map. In all instances the roadway, drainage ditches, culverts, central water system and roadway itself must be complete before a certificate of occupancy will be issued. The roadway double surface treatment may be waived until after completion of said building, providing a performance bond is presented to the Malta Town Board to provide equivalent expenses required to apply this double surface treatment. Upon acceptance of the completed road and return of performance bond a fee of $2.00 per linear foot of roadway shall be paid to the Malta Board for blacktopping by the Town of Malta after the Planned Development District #1 has been completed.
10.
The topography shall show the tentative location of each building on each numbered lot, all ground elevations around each building, and all ground grades, ditches, and culverts so that there are no low spots for water to collect anywhere within the Planned Development District #1.
11.
The dwellings to be erected on each lot shall be one-family dwellings containing a minimum living floor area of 800 sq. ft., a maximum height of 30 ft., a minimum road frontage lot width of 100 ft., and minimum yard dimensions for all buildings to be 40 ft. front, 12 ft. side, 24 ft. both sides, and 30 ft. rear.
12.
All components of the septic system shall be at least 10 ft. from the nearest property line.
13.
The dwellings shall be completed and ready for occupancy at the rate of five new dwellings minimum per year.
14.
Except for the requirements established herein, the Zoning Ordinance, Town of Malta, still applies.
15.
The completed Reference (C) map shall contain the approval signature of the Supervisor, Town of Malta.
The contents of this letter were approved for transmittal by the Malta Town Board at a special meeting held May 23, 1967.

S. 
This amendment shall apply to the area referred to as the Commercial Development Area and more particularly defined as set forth in Exhibit B. All exhibits are attached hereto and made a part hereof.[2]
[Added 11-3-2010 by L.L. No. 11-2010]
(1) 
The currently existing structure located in this area of the PDD, commonly referred to as the Malta Mall, consists of a building with 65,095+/- square footage. It is proposed that 26,535 +/- square feet of the existing building located on the westerly side of the Malta Mall will be demolished and rebuilt, with an additional 9,277 +/- square feet to be added to the most westerly side of the building, resulting in the building, when completed, to be comprised of 74,372 +/- square feet.
(2) 
Also proposed is a free-standing building to be located generally in the northeast corner of the Commercial Development Area. This building will be 2,301 +/- square feet.
(3) 
The following uses shall be permitted in the Commercial Development Area (also referred to in this PDD as the "convenience center" area):
(a) 
Grocery store.
(b) 
Bank; drive-thru for bank only allowed in 2,301 +/- square-foot building.
(c) 
Retail uses. All allowed uses that exceed 6,400 square feet shall be allowed if granted a special use permit by the Town of Malta as set forth in the Town of Malta Code § 167-38.1.
(d) 
All other uses allowed in the Exit 11 Hamlet zone, as may be amended from time to time.
(4) 
The project shall be constructed in substantial conformance to the site layout map and renderings attached hereto as Exhibit C,[3] including the construction of a sidewalk along Round Lake Road on the northerly side of the project, and continuing along Chango Drive on the westerly side of the project, and continuing beyond the southern boundary of the project along Chango Drive and terminating at the entrance drive to the Chango Elementary School; the construction of a right turn lane will be added to the Chango Drive approach to Round Lake Road because this approach operates at a failing level of service F (LOS F) under 2012 conditions without the additional traffic from the proposed project, the no-build condition. The improvement will markedly decrease the delay experienced for that approach and improve the approach LOS in the 2012 build condition. This improvement will enhance both the intersection and the corridor; and a right turn lane will be added to site Driveway No. 1, opposite Hearthwood Drive. This improvement significantly decreases delay and improves LOS for vehicles leaving the Malta Mall at this driveway. These three improvements shall be completed prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the proposed grocery store. In addition, the owner and developer of the Commercial Development Area agree to provide for possible future dedication to the Town of Malta, or other entity designated by the Town of Malta, a ten-foot strip of land along the northerly boundary of the Commercial Development Area, as designated on Exhibit C if it is deemed necessary for any roadway improvements. The owner and developer agree to provide this land at no cost to the Town or other designated entity. The buildings constructed in the Commercial Development Area shall be sprinkled or provide other fire-suppression methods acceptable to the local fire department.

Removal from a site plan of the 50 designated spaces shall require an amendment to this planned development district.
(6) 
Landscaping shall be constructed generally as depicted on Exhibit D[4]; however, the final landscaping for the project site shall be determined by the Town of Malta Planning Board.
(a) 
If parking is approved along the southern boundary of the project, the Town of Malta Planning Board shall determine the appropriate barrier/screening between this project and the lands to the south, currently occupied by the Chango Elementary School. The Town of Malta Planning Board shall take into consideration the adjacent uses of the lands by the Chango Elementary School, along with safety, access and any other pertinent concerns in determining the appropriate barrier/screening to be required. The Planning Board is encouraged to consider input from representatives of the Chango Elementary School.
(b) 
Trees shall be planted as depicted on Exhibits C and D in the parking lot of the Commercial Development Area, as well as in other areas deemed appropriate by the Town of Malta Planning Board.

(c) 
The Building and Planning Department of the Town of Malta shall review any proposed sign changes from the existing conditions. If the proposed change is to the text of an existing sign, that shall be reviewed through the change of tenancy provisions of the Town of Malta Code. If the proposed sign is new or there is a proposed change to the size, dimensions, materials or location of the sign, the proposed sign shall be subject to site plan review by the Malta Planning Board.
(9) 
Architecture shall be as generally depicted in Exhibit G.[8] The final design and material shall be subject to review and approval by the Town of Malta Planning Board. The Planning Board should give close attention and consideration to the proposed architecture of the proposed free-standing 2,301 +/- square foot building to insure that it is comparable and compatible with the architecture of the proposed new portion of the Malta Mall, as well as working to incorporate improvements where possible to the existing section of the Malta Mall to marry and blend the existing portion with the new portion of the mall. The Planning Board is encouraged to give particular consideration to the materials to be used to promote harmony with the neighborhood and the existing development in the Exit 11 hamlet area, as well as the surrounding neighborhood.

(2) 
There will be a sidewalk provided by the developer along the easterly side of Raylinsky Road from Evans Road to Round Lake Road and on the northerly boundary of the PDD extending along Round Lake Road. In addition, site plan applications to the Planning Board shall include sidewalks within the parcel to enhance pedestrian circulation on the interior and between buildings as they are constructed.
(3) 
In addition, sidewalks shall connect the various areas in the interior of the planned development district; the exact location of sidewalks will be determined by the Town Planning Board in the site plan process.
(4) 
There shall be no development within an eighty-foot green area, inclusive of Town property, located along the westerly boundary of the PDD measured from the center line of Raylinsky Road. There shall likewise be no development within an eighty-foot green area, inclusive of Town property, measured from the center line of Round Lake Road, from Raylinsky Road to the entrance to the PDD, along the northerly boundary of the PDD. These areas shall contain quality landscaping which will not impede visibility of the interior areas of the PDD, as determined by the Town of Malta Planning Board during site plan review process, which landscaping shall be in place prior to the issuance of any certificate of occupancy for any building on the site, except for planting of trees and shrubbery which may be planted at the appropriate season. There shall be an eighty-foot buffer area, measured from the center of Raylinsky Road, and extending along the western boundary of the PDD from the rear (northern) boundary of the residential lots to the former entrance to the PDD (as shown on the sketch plan - Appendix B) which shall be maintained in its present treed state (with the exception of the improvements required herein). All site plan applications proposing to improve or modify the eighty-foot buffer area shall include an existing conditions plan as well as a vegetative buffer plan. The latter shall seek to preserve mature trees within the buffer. There shall be a one-hundred-foot no-cut, no-build area located within the commercial, retail and business area, along the rear lot lines of the residential lots, as shown on the sketch plan (Appendix B). Upon the commencement of construction of the two southerly most buildings in the commercial, retail and business area, evergreen trees shall be planted at the northerly border of the one-hundred-foot no-clearing area to augment the visual buffer between the residential area and the commercial, retail and business area. When space is available, the evergreen buffer shall be located on the development land to reduce impact to the no-clearing area. At time of planting, the evergreen trees shall be a minimum of six feet in height and spaced appropriately to accommodate the width of the trees once mature, as determined by the Planning Board. The Town's preferred tree species include: balsam fir, frasier fir, white cedar (Arbor vitae), and white spruce. The buffer shall provide a continuous visual barrier from the ground plane to a height of 20 feet or greater at maturity. Plants shall not be limbed up and nothing shall be placed below or adjacent to them to impede growth. If any portion of the no-clearing area already provides an equal level of visual screening as the evergreen buffer would, the Planning Board need not require vegetative replacement in that portion of the no-clearing area. However, the Planning Board may require additional plantings in that portion to improve the visual barrier. The evergreen buffer shall be in conformance with the site plan for development south of the access road, including the parking lot and buildings as located on the approved site plan. Tree species substitutions may be considered by the Planning Board so long as they provide an equal level of screening protection, are not invasive species and are appropriate for site conditions. The developer shall replace the existing eight-foot-high opaque, stockade-type fence along the rear property lines of the lots in the residential area with an eight-foot-high opaque, vinyl fence in a neutral color.
(5) 
In the third development area, the following shall apply to use of individual storage facilities:

Storage units shall not be used in any manner that will constitute waste, nuisance or unreasonable annoyance to neighbors. Storage units may not be used for habitation or for the conduct of any illegal or unlawful activity. There shall be no dumping, overnight outdoor parking or vehicles, outdoor storage or noise exceeding any Town Code limitation emanating from any storage unit or lands adjacent to any storage unit. The owner of the storage facility will maintain and enforce facility rules and regulations concerning the foregoing and shall be responsible for compliance with all limitations placed on the storage units.

(3) 
In addition to the certificate of occupancy for an entire building, individual certificates of occupancy must be obtained from the Town of Malta Building Department prior to occupying any building or any portion of any building within the Bishop's Square Planned Development District, regardless of whether the tenant is one of the original tenants, or a successor, following approval of a site plan by the Town Planning Board in accordance with Article VI of the Town Zoning Law. The requirements of this provision will not require the inspection of any individual self storage unit due to a change in the unit's user/tenant.
G. 
All traffic control signs required for this project and all road markings associated with the project shall be completed by the developer prior to the issuance of any certificate of occupancy concerning this project, and shall conform to the requirements of the New York State Department of Transportation Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices. This shall not prevent the issuance of certificates of occupancy which are expressly conditioned upon completion of such infrastructure in accordance with policy or past practice.

Parking. Parking shall be provided according to the following schedule applicable to the various allowable uses. The parking schedule set forth herein is the minimum standard; however, the Town of Malta Planning Board may reduce the amount of parking spaces for a particular use upon a showing by the applicant that the application of the minimum parking schedule set forth above would create an excess number of parking spaces beyond what is reasonably needed, and that reducing required parking spaces would be environmentally beneficial (e.g., by reducing unneeded paving and impermeable surfaces, such as by construction of multilevel parking structures). Parking garages are strongly encouraged.
(1) 
Nanotechnology manufacturing facilities: 0.8 parking spaces per employee (minimum; per shift).
(2) 
Nanotechnology manufacturing support businesses: 0.8 parking spaces per employee (minimum; per shift).
(3) 
Campus commercial: 1.0 parking spaces per 300 square feet net leaseable floor area. This requirement may be waived if adequate street parking or common parking lots are otherwise provided within the Campus Commons area of Development Areas 6, 7, 8 and 11.
(4) 
Office: 1.0 parking spaces per 300 square feet net leaseable floor area, or, alternatively, one space per employee, as determined at site plan approval phase.
(5) 
Community uses and conference center: adequacy of parking not subject to a particular standard; parking plans to be submitted and approved at site plan approval phase.
T. 
Lighting. Outdoor lighting shall be installed so as to minimize to the greatest extent possible the lighting of the sky above the campus. No outdoor light shall be installed, modified or permitted to be used which casts a beam of light above a plane horizontal with the earth, other than temporary construction lighting. All outdoor lighting, excluding temporary lighting, shall be consistent with the following criteria:
(1) 
Proposed area lighting will employ predominantly high-pressure sodium lighting, with the use of limited metal halide lighting as appropriate in areas outside of public views.
(2) 
All lighting fixtures will be focused with full cut-offs installed in a horizontal position to prevent upward reflection or glow to night skies, and reduce the amount of light pollution beyond the edges of illuminated areas.
(3) 
Lighting fixtures will be set at a height which will limit the amount of light trespass and encourage the use of two-hundred-fifty-watt high-pressure sodium fixtures, and minimize the usage of higher wattages. Using lower wattage fixtures at lower heights will help to distribute the lighting more evenly and eliminate pockets of bright light. Lighting fixtures shall be set back from the development site boundaries to mitigate glare to surrounding properties.
(4) 
The light levels in parking and pedestrian areas shall be in accordance with Illuminating Engineering Society of North America standards. Parking areas shall have a minimum maintained level of 0.5 footcandles with a uniformity ratio of four to one.
(5) 
Low-level lighting shall be used at each roadway and along boulevards for safety and security. Light fixtures shall be selected to prevent upward reflection or glow and prevent light trespass outside of road rights-of-way.
(6) 
Security lighting at or near buildings will be lit down and inward toward the building to mitigate outward glare and reflection. Flood lighting shall be permitted only when no adequate substitute is available.
(7) 
Signs may be externally or internally lit. Externally lit signs will have shielded fixtures to prevent glare and/or light trespass.
(8) 
Adjacent to residential properties, no direct-light source will be visible at the edge of the development area.
(9) 
All nonessential lighting must be extinguished after business hours.
(10) 
Lighting fixtures (luminaires) and bulbs will be selected to optimize energy efficiency consistent with New York State energy plans.
U. 
Forestry management. Areas 12, 13, 14, 15, 17 and 19 may be logged under a forestry management plan submitted to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (Department), shall be subject to all instructions of the Department, and shall be subject to approval of the Town of Malta, except that clear-cutting shall not be permitted in any nondevelopment area. Cutting of trees shall be permitted in Areas 16 and 18 only to the extent necessary to permit recreational uses. Portions of the District currently hold a Fisher Act tax exemption through a plan which has been filed with the Department. Prior to applying to the Town of Malta for site plan review for any property located within the District, the owner must have taken all steps necessary to remove Fisher Act classification (tax exempt status) for the development area in which the property subject to site plan review is located, and such classification must have been revoked. Immediately upon the effective date of this legislation, no timber may be cut except in strict conformance with the conditions set forth herein. The owner and/or landowners' association shall bond for erroneous cutting, subject to fines provided herein. The owner shall bear the expense of the cost of a Town consultant with respect to such plans.
V. 
Common area management and security.
(1) 
If there is a single owner of the land within the District, he, she or it shall be solely responsible for the management of common areas (e.g., non-development areas, roadways, paths). Should the ownership of the District be in more than one person or entity, each owner shall be a member of a landowners' association, the contractual terms (including amendments) of which shall be approved by the Town Board of the Town of Malta, and which terms shall provide for security for the District and for the development and maintenance of common areas (henceforth "landowners' association"). No person or entity may acquire real property within the District without becoming a member of the landowners' association, and no person or entity may conduct any business activity (including construction) without being a member in good standing of the landowners' association. The landowners' association's terms shall also provide for the posting of bonds in amounts and forms approved by (and running in favor of) the Town, together with the payment of costs, fees and expenses necessary to provide adequate security and to develop and maintain common areas, and that the Town of Malta and/or any member of the association may enforce the terms of the association. Each member of the landowners' association shall be jointly and severally responsible for the contractual obligations of the association, and the Town of Malta may look to any such member to fulfill the obligations of the association upon the association's default. Prior to seeking any owner within the campus to pay for an obligation of the landowner's association, the Town of Malta shall first give written notice of the obligation to the landowners' association and its intent to seek payment from a member thereof, and allow 60 days from the date of the letter. The public shall have free and unrestricted access to all paths, trails and walkways during daylight hours. Other language of this paragraph notwithstanding, the association is not responsible for compliance within Development Area 10.
[Amended 8-25-2008 by L.L. No. 7-2008]
(2) 
The owners may form a business improvement district encompassing the campus (excluding Development Area 10 and including Area 18 at the option of the Town of Malta) to provide for security for the District and for the development and maintenance of common areas. Upon the establishment of such a business improvement district, the Town Board may waive some or all of the provisions of Subsection V(1) by resolution.
(3) 
A Recreational Master Plan encompassing Development Area 16, and linkages to Development Areas 16 and 18, shall be completed prior to and as a condition for the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the first 300,000 square feet of development within the District (exclusive of residential development in Development Area 10), which Recreational Master Plan shall be completed with the assistance of the Town’s Planning and Parks and Recreation Departments, and the Town Planning Board, except that the Town Board may, by resolution, extend the time by which the Recreational Master Plan must be completed, in its sole and nonreviewable discretion.
[Amended 2-5-2007 by L.L. No. 2-2007]
W. 
Mitigation. The following measures will be taken to mitigate the negative environmental impacts of the PDD, in addition to those set forth in Appendix E.[31] With respect to all mitigation or impact fees specifically set forth herein, the amounts of said fees shall be adjusted for inflation annually in accordance with the Consumer Price Index. Unless otherwise stated, the mitigation requirements set forth in this local law shall be paid by the owners. Failure to complete any required mitigation measure, including the payment of any mitigation fee, shall be grounds for suspension by the Code Enforcement Officer or a court of competent jurisdiction to prohibit any further construction activity within the District until such mitigation measure or payment has been made.
(1) 
Transportation.
(a) 
Round Lake Bypass: in conformance with rendering of gateways set forth as Appendix A, Drawing(s) 6, which bypass must be constructed prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for any buildings within the campus, except for residential development within Development Area 10, and except for 300,000 square feet of new building construction within Development Area 5.
(b) 
Additional off-site transportation mitigation as presented in the Second Statement of Findings at I and the SSFEIS at Appendix N, and shall be as follows:
[Amended 8-19-2013 by L.L. No. 5-2013]
[1] 
Subsequent to the issuance of a building permit and prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the third nanotechnology manufacturing facility, the operator of Development Area 1 shall be responsible for the implementation of off-site mitigation measures for the following intersections: 1) NY Route 9/Malta Avenue/Malta Avenue Extension; 2) Eastline Road/NY Route 67; 3) NY Route 9./NY 67/Dunning Street; 4) NY Route 9./NY 67/Round Lake Bypass; 5) Interstate 87 Exit 11 Southbound Ramps/Round Lake Road; and 6) Interstate 87 Exit 11 Northbound Ramps/Round Lake Road. All such off-site mitigation measures implemented by such operator shall be completed in accordance with the phased traffic improvement schedule as contained in the SSFEIS at Appendix N. In order to facilitate these off-site mitigation measures, such operator shall, contemporaneously with the issuance of a building permit, provide the Town of Malta a bond or letter of credit in an amount estimated by the Town to be sufficient to pay for the all of the mitigation measures set forth herein, that is, in the amount of $7,140,000. However, the financial responsibility of the operator is not limited to this amount, as the operator bears responsibility for the entire cost of all such mitigation measures even if such cost exceeds the financial security provided. If New York State or federal funding is used in making such improvements, the applicant's liability shall be limited to paying the "local share" of the improvements, that is, the Town and county share.
[2] 
The operator of Development Area 1 and the Town of Malta shall hold quarterly meetings at the end of each fiscal quarter following the issuance of the building permit for the third nanotechnology manufacturing facility in order to provide employment count information and to address any forecasted transportation mitigation implementation issues. Such meetings shall cease upon the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the third nanotechnology manufacturing facility.
[3] 
In the event no adequately funded group has been established and is operating with the following mission, the Town of Malta will form a task force whose mission is to assist with the planning and implementation of a new Northway Exit 11A connecting from the Northway I-87 to the Luther Forest Technology Campus. In addition to the Town of Malta, the following organizations will be invited to participate in the task force: 1) Village of Round Lake; 2) New York State Department of Transportation; 3) Capital District Transportation Committee; 4) Saratoga County Department of Public Works; 5) New York State Empire Development; and 6) Saratoga County Board of Supervisors.

The operator of Development Area 1 shall be responsible for 1/2 of any Planning and Engineering costs associated with the operation of this task force for which the Town or county would otherwise be responsible. It is noted that the proposed exit represents both a traffic mitigation measure and a quality of life measure for the residents of the Town of Malta. The task force shall operate until it determines, based upon the empirical data, that the filing of an interchange justification report is not warranted, or until completion and submission to the federal government of an interchange justification report.
[4] 
An updated traffic study shall be prepared by the operator of Development Area 1, if a building permit has not been issued for the third nanotechnology manufacturing facility by July 1, 2018. The extent of the updated traffic study shall be determined by the lead agency. The mitigation measures required herein and in SSFEIS Appendix N may be revised by the Town Board as a result of this study.
(c) 
Thresholds: 600 trips or 500,000 square feet of occupied (i.e., nonmechanical) floor area per each development phase. A total of 2,400 trips or 2,000,000 square feet of occupied floor area shall be permitted, inclusive of the Luther Forest Campus and the NYSERDA STEP property.
(d) 
Should an access road be built into the District from a new exit on Interstate 87, land belonging to individuals residing on Easy Street in the Town of Malta could foreseeably be taken through the eminent domain process. Although the owner of the District may purchase one or more of these Easy Street properties on terms agreeable to the parties, and although owners of East Street properties are guaranteed by the New York State and Federal Constitutions and by statute just compensation for any takings, the entity applying for site plan review of Development Area 10 ("developer") shall, as a condition for receiving subdivision approval, offer to (1) purchase the parcels of owners of real property as of the date of this legislation identified by Tax Map Numbers 240.-2-19.2, 240.-2-19.3 and 240.-2-19.4 for fair market value, said value to be determined by an MAI appraisal obtained at the expense of the developer; or (2) exchange with the individual owners of said parcel's their respective parcels for a house and property located in Development Area 10 of equivalent market value, said values to be determined by MAI appraisals obtained at the expense of the Developer. This offer must remain in effect for two years from the date first extended.
(2) 
Electric power. At critical viewsheds, electric transmission lines will be single-pole, double-davit overhead lines and incorporate necessary landscaping and screening. 1.1 miles of electric transmission lines shall be located underground, as set forth in Exhibit F. All distribution lines within the campus associated with the project shall be underground. A mitigation fee of $950,000 shall be paid to the Town of Malta as mitigation for the visual and other impacts of the overhead transmission lines, to be used to pay for other mitigation measures north from the intersection of the Stonebreak Road and Route 9 roundabout by providing other aesthetic improvements such as, but not limited to, landscaping, sidewalks, hardscapes, pedestrian-scale lighting, gateway treatments, signage improvements, and/or works of art, to balance the adverse visual impacts resultant of the establishment of overhead transmission lines along Stonebreak Road.

The owner shall transfer to the Town of Malta by warranty deed the parcel designated on Exhibit A, Map 1, as Development Area 18 to be used for park, community and/or recreational purposes, in the size of at least 28 acres, prior to or at the time of the first application for site plan review of any land within the District. The owner shall pay all closing costs, including the costs of a survey. The owner shall take all steps available to remove Fisher Act designation from Development Area 18.
[Amended 2-5-2007 by L.L. No. 2-2007]
[2] 
All easements obtained or retained by the owners for placement or maintenance of water and/or sewer lines shall also contain an easement for use as public pathways and trails, paved or unpaved. The form and extent of use of these easements for public pathways and trails shall be determined by the Town of Malta Planning Board during site plan review, or by later requirement of the Malta Town Board by resolution, on notice to the owner(s) of the affected easement(s) and the landowners' association, at the expense of the owners. The Town Board shall have the ability to waive this requirement when it proves to be impracticable or undesirable, upon consultations with the Town Parks and Recreation Department and the Town Planning and Building Department.
[3] 
To further minimize the impact of the campus on the open space and recreational facilities of Malta, an open space and recreation fee of $0.69 per square foot shall be paid for all nonresidential structures constructed and $1,000 per residential housing unit. (NOTE: Said fees are based on 2004 dollars and shall be adjusted for inflation pursuant to the Consumer Price Index.) One-half of the sum shall be due and payable at the time a building permit is issued and the balance of the sum shall be due when a certificate of occupancy is obtained. It is further understood that these open space and recreation fees reflect a credit for the value of the 32 acres of land that have been received from the District. Open space and recreation fees paid pursuant to this legislation shall only be expended for open space and parkland acquisition and recreational capital improvements or for debt service relating to said open space and recreation capital improvements expenditures. The open space and recreation fee collected should be expended within 10 years.

Greenspace and buffers. A minimum of 53% of the lands within the PDD shall remain green space. There shall be a three-hundred-foot visual no-construction buffer along I-87 and a one-thousand-foot buffer from the center line of Raymond Road to the northernmost proposed residential units.
G. 
Building code. All buildings will be constructed in accordance with the current building codes as adopted by the Town of Malta, as amended. All blueprints and building specifications shall be approved and stamped by a duly licensed engineer or architect. All construction shall be subject to the inspection and approval of the Town Code Enforcement Officer or Town Engineers.
H. 
Performance bonds and letters of credit. The developer shall file bonds or letters of credit with the Town Supervisor in the amounts and for the time periods required by the Town Planning Board and acceptable as to amount and form to the Town Engineers and Town Attorney to guarantee such performance and/or completion of the requirements of this planned development district local law prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
I. 
SEQRA. The Malta Town Board, as lead agency for this project pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act, has adopted a Supplemental Final Generic Environmental Impact Statement which makes a declaration of nonsignificance concerning this project and fully sets forth all necessary mitigation measures. The developer agrees to comply with all of the mitigation measures which are a part thereof, at no cost to the Town. No certificate of occupancy will be issued until the mitigation measures are complete. Attached hereto as Appendix D is a summary of those mitigation measures.
J. 
Effective date. This local law shall take effect 10 days after approval of the Town Board and posting and publishing in the official newspaper of the Town of Malta as required by law.
K. 
Sunset provision. In the event a building permit is not obtained on any lands in this development within five years of its approval by the Malta Town Board, this legislation shall be deemed null and void, and the zoning of these lands shall revert to their current zoning.
L. 
Mitigation and open space fees.
(1) 
General mitigation fees. The developer shall be required to pay any mitigation and open space fees consistent with the Town of Malta Town-Wide GEIS, adopted June 5, 2006, as amended upon the receipt of a permit from the Town of Malta for work on any phase approved by the Planning Board of the Town of Malta.
(2) 
Emergency medical response fee. The SGEIS identified a potential adverse impact to the Town with respect to the possible increase in the number of calls placed from the senior housing, assisted living and nursing home facilities to the Malta Ambulance Corp. Inc. (EMS) in a given annual period. For purposes of this section, the term "facility" shall mean nursing home, assisted living, or senior housing facilities. For purposes of this section, the term "facility" shall mean nursing home, assisted living, senior housing facilities or senior apartments. In order to provide mitigation for the potential impact on EMS, the following has been determined to be appropriate for the District and shall apply as follows:
[Amended 4-6-2015 by L.L. No. 2-2015[17]]
(a) 
The mitigation and annual call limitations set forth in this Subsection L(2)(b) through (e) below shall be applicable only to assisted living, senior housing, senior apartments and nursing home uses within the District.
(b) 
Upon the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy for an assisted living, senior housing, senior apartments or nursing home facility, said facility shall be deemed to have a maximum threshold of 106 calls to EMS per year which will be deemed to have no adverse impact and is consistent with the number of annual calls to like kind facilities in the Town of Malta. The facility shall be entitled to a proration of the 106 annual calls in accordance with the month the certificate of occupancy is issued (i.e., nine calls per month). Any additional assisted living, senior housing, senior apartments or nursing home facility located within the District will be permitted to share the 106 calls to EMS annually, but under no circumstances shall one or a combination of more than one facility thereafter exceed the maximum threshold of 106 calls without complying with the mitigation measures set forth in Subsection L(2)(c) below.
(c) 
In the event the District does not exceed the annual call threshold of 106 (or a proration thereof), the difference between actual calls and the annual call threshold shall be added to the annual call threshold for the next calendar year. There shall be no limitation on the District's ability to apply the difference to the allowance for the next calendar year. If the District shall exceed the annual allowance of 106 calls, including any unused calls from any previous annual period, the owner shall be charged a per-call rate of $200 ("per-call rate"). The District's per-call rate recognizes the annual per-call cost to the Town's EMS of $227, as well as a credit to the District for providing a reduction in the operational impacts on EMS personnel and equipment due to the close proximity of medical service, including less gas, fewer miles traveled for vehicles and responders, and less wear and tear on EMS vehicles. The project also brings nonquantifiable benefits to the Town, including access to acute medical care, access to primary care services, and a helipad for emergency response.
(d) 
The per-call rate for the District shall be reevaluated every five years from the effective date of this legislation or upon request by the Town when there is one-year net maximum operating cost increase to EMS in excess of 5%. The reevaluation of the per-call rate shall be based upon the EMS annual operating costs, less all patient reimbursement, less the Town of Stillwater contracted revenue, less any applicable tax levy in place at the time of reevaluation, exclusive of the Service Award Program portion, less the credit provided by the Town for any and all benefits the project provides to the Town in keeping with those recited in Subsection L(2)(c) above, and then divided by the number of total Town-wide calls received by EMS in the calendar year previous to the reevaluation.
(e) 
If applicable, the Town shall issue an invoice to the owner of facility before January 31 of each year for the services rendered by EMS in excess of the 106 annual call threshold in the previous calendar year. In the event there is more than one facility operating within the District, the 106 annual calls shall be apportioned pursuant to the number of residents within each facility. The apportionment shall become each facility's annual call threshold for purposes of annual billing from the Town.
(f) 
The District will also be financially responsible for the cost of any interfacility or medical-facility-to-medical-facility transportation.
[17]
Editor's Note: This local law provided that it should take effect six months after the date of filing with the New York Secretary of State.
(3) 
Payment for services agreement for future hospital and other exempt buildings. In furtherance of the supplemental generic environmental impact statement for the District, the owner is obligated to make annual payments to the Town in an amount reasonable to mitigate the fire protection impacts of any hospital or other exempt building constructed within the District. In furtherance thereof, the owner shall be required to enter into an agreement with the Town of Malta setting forth the manner in which the owner shall pay an annual fee for services payment for fire protection ("AFSP"). The agreement for the AFSP shall be executed by the Town and the owner prior to or contemporaneous with the submission of any site plan application to the Malta Town Planning Board for the construction of a hospital or any other exempt building within the District.
[Added 5-7-2012 by L.L. No. 6-2012]
M. 
Severability clause. If any provision of this local law shall be held invalid in an appropriate court proceeding, the remainder of this local law shall not be affected thereby.
N. 
Supersession. The local law is hereby adopted pursuant to the provision of § 10 of the New York State Municipal Home Rule Law and § 10 of the New York State Statute of Local Governments, it being the intent of the Town Board to supersede any and all contrary or inconsistent state laws.

[1] 
Steeper sloped roofs (8 on 12);
[2] 
Front, covered porches with a roof design that provides a clear break from the overall roof design of the building (in other words, not a front porch where the main roof is simply extended to cover the porch area, but rather the kinds of porches you would see in an older home);
[3] 
Concrete sidewalks;
[4] 
Ample trees and landscaping;
[5] 
[2]Easy access to recreation;
[2]
Editor's Note: Former Subsection D(2)(a)[5], regarding connections to other neighborhoods, was repealed 12-3-2012 by L.L. No. 15-2012. Said local law also redesignated former Subsection D(2)(a)[6] through [8] as Subsection D(2)(a)[5] through [7].

(5) 
The developer shall construct all roadways within the Cramer Road North Planned Development District consistent with all approvals and guidelines of the Town of Malta. Roadways within this Planned Development District shall be at least 22 feet wide with additional two-foot-wide wing edges. Such roads shall be built to Town standards and offered to the Town for dedication. With the exception of permits needed to construct one "spec duplex" or "model duplex," no building permits shall be issued until such roads are accepted by the Town and any required bond or letter of credit in acceptable form is in place and proof of such has been furnished to the Town. Consistent with the Town Highway Standards adopted by resolution of the Town Board on December 5, 2011, if the Town accepts such roadways prior to completion of the "finish coat," the finish coat will be installed thereafter at the sole expense of the developer and in a manner that meets Town standards.
(6) 
In accordance with the Town's Linkage Study, the developer shall include on its site plan and subdivision plat a depiction of a possible future road connecting the commercial area with Route 9. If, in the discretion of the Town Planning Board, such a connector road is necessary to effectuate the safe and appropriate development of the commercial area, the construction of such roadway may be required and the developer shall not be obligated to first seek and obtain an amendment of this legislation. The exact location of the road will be left to the discretion of the Planning Board. A notation consistent with this provision shall also appear on the site plan and subdivision plat.
(7) 
During site plan review, the Town Planning Board may, in its discretion, consider the desirability of requesting or requiring a connection between the roadways of this development and the lands directly to the west without need of further amendment to this legislation.
[Added 12-3-2012 by L.L. No. 15-2012[4]]
[4]
Editor's Note: This local law also redesignated former Subsection D(7) through (12) as Subsection D(9) through (14).
(8) 
The Developer shall include in its site plan for any proposed development within the “Commercial Area,” pedestrian access areas leading from Development roadways to the proposed improvements. The Planning Board need not require that such access areas be ultimately developed if, in the Planning Board’s discretion, it is determined that such access areas are undesirable.
[Added 12-3-2012 by L.L. No. 15-2012]
(9) 
The developer, at its sole expense, shall cause a study to be performed to assess whether the condition of Cramer Road and Cramer Road Extension are sufficient to support the estimated post-project construction traffic. The developer shall submit the traffic study to the Town Engineer with a copy to the Town Board and a copy to the Town Building and Planning Department. The developer shall submit this study prior to offering the development roadways to the Town for dedication. In the event the study does not demonstrate, to the Town Board's satisfaction, that the roadways are sufficient for anticipated volume, the developer shall, at its sole expense, improve the roadways in a manner and to an extent sufficient to handle the anticipated traffic volume. All such improvements shall be built to Town standards. Regardless of the outcome of any study, the developer's bond or letter of credit shall be in an amount sufficient to repair any damage that project-related activities may cause to Town roads, including Cramer Road and/or Cramer Road Extension.
(10) 
The developer shall construct five-foot wide sidewalks along Development roads in a location and manner consistent with Town standards and approvals. The Developer shall detail in its site plan application the proposed location of the sidewalks. There shall be no less than seven feet between the edge of the paved roadway and the sidewalks. The sidewalks may be constructed in sections directly following completion of duplex buildings in the vicinity. Sidewalks shall be constructed on both sides of Development roads; however, where such roadways are directly adjacent to “Commercial Areas,” the portions of sidewalk on the “commercial side” of the roadways need not be constructed until the “Commercial Areas” are improved. The developer may be relieved of its obligation to construct these portions of sidewalk if, during site plan review of the “Commercial Areas.” the Town Planning Board determines that such portions of sidewalk are undesirable. Certificates of occupancy will not be issued unless or until a bond or letter of credit in favor of the Town of Malta is secured to ensure that sidewalk construction/completion occurs in a manner consistent with this legislation and site plan approval. The bond or letter of credit must be in a form acceptable to the Town Attorney and an amount acceptable to the Town Engineer. Continued maintenance of the sidewalks shall initially be the obligation of the developer and, upon creation of the Cramer Road Homeowners’ Association (CRHOA), shall become the obligation of the CRHOA.
[Amended 12-3-2012 by L.L. No. 15-2012]
(11) 
Appropriate stormwater management shall be undertaken by the developer at the developer's sole expense in a manner consistent with Town specifications and approvals.

[3] 
Read yard: twenty-foot minimum.
(b) 
The side yard setback shall not apply to any shared boundaries dividing units of the same duplex structures.
(13) 
All buildings within the commercial area must be equipped with installed sprinkler systems. The parties acknowledge that this is required neither under the Malta nor NYS Building Codes but is, instead, a safety feature inuring to the benefit of the public (including volunteer firefighters) in exchange for the benefit to the applicant of the within planned development district legislation.
(14) 
Utilities.
(a) 
The utilities throughout the Cramer Road North Planned Development District shall be constructed/placed below ground and it shall be the obligation of the developer, its successors and/or assigns, to obtain all necessary permits, approvals or agreements from any third parties.
(b) 
Water within this planned development district shall be supplied by Saratoga Water Services, Inc. or other water supplier having a sufficient water supply and all necessary approvals to supply potable water to this planned development district. The developer shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Planning Board that the proposed supplier of water for this planned development district meets this standard. The developer shall comply with all state and federal requirements for the extension of the water service. Fire hydrants shall be installed by the developer in a manner consistent with all applicable rules, regulations and approvals.
E. 
Sanitary sewers will be constructed by the developer at its sole expense. The off-site sewer force main shall be eight inches in diameter. It is the current intention that this main will be constructed along Route 9P and continue east past the intersection of Route 9P and Route 9 with connection made to the gravity sewer infrastructure of the proposed Lakeview Landing Subdivision that connects to Saratoga County Sewer District No.1 infrastructure. This configuration will form a necessary component part of an integrated sewer facility plan currently pursued by several area developers. This integration will provide necessary sewer improvement in this area and be a public benefit. The Planning Board shall have review authority over the location and design of these sewer facilities and may, in its discretion, permit the developer to deviate from the above proposed location without need of further amendment to this legislation, provided that doing so does not lessen the benefit provided by the above proposed sewer facility location and provided further that such deviation is acceptable to the Town Engineer and the Saratoga County Sewer District. In no event may the Developer deviate from the diameter of the forced main absent amendment of this legislation. Regardless of the ultimate location of sewer facilities, individual grinder pumps shall be installed for each unit by the developer. The grinder pumps shall be owned and maintained by each lot owner. All sewer facilities shall be constructed in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations and no certificates of occupancy may be issued unless or until the sewer facilities are installed and fully operational. The developer will ensure that design and construction of all sewer facilities is in accord with the standards of the Saratoga County Sewer District No. 1. The developer will offer for dedication to the Saratoga County Sewer District No. 1 all completed off-site sewer facilities at no cost to the Saratoga County Sewer District No. 1.

(6) 
Within the proposed conservation areas, the existing vegetative screening shall be maintained or improved as follows: the existing vegetative screening shall not be disturbed along the southwesterly portion of this planned development district behind lots 10 through 15; and the existing vegetative screening along the southernmost boundary of this planned development district along Cramer Road and Cramer Road extension shall be maintained to the greatest extent possible. Where the existing vegetation along Cramer Road and Cramer Road extension cannot be maintained due to construction impacts, a four-foot landscaped berm shall be provided as directed by the Planning Board. Upon completion of the sidewalk, drainage, berms and related construction, an as-built drawing will be substituted as Exhibit B.[5]
[Amended 12-1-2014 by L.L. No. 8-2014]
[5]
Editor's Note: Said appendix is on file in the Town offices.
(7) 
These conservation areas shall remain undeveloped open space. For purposes of this subsection, neither stormwater facilities nor landscape features shall constitute development in violation of this provision, provided such are consistent with Town approvals.
H.

The developer shall provide to the Town a summary report reflecting the data and findings of the sewer study or studies conducted by the developer's consultant in relation to this planned development district.
[Adopted 4-7-2014 by L.L. No. 2-2014]
A. 
This planned development district created by adoption of Local Law 2 of 2014 shall be known as the "Stewart's Shops - Adirondack Trust Planned Development District."
B. 
The Zoning Law of the Town of Malta, as adopted January 3, 1989, and as thereafter amended in its entirety by Local Law 9 of 2005 and the Zoning Map of the Town of Malta as set forth therein and made a part thereof, are amended by changing the lands described below from the existing zoning R-1 Residential District and establishing this planned development district.
C. 
The area of this planned development district consists of approximately 2.76 acres in the Town of Malta which, as of the time of this enactment, is identified as Tax Map Parcel Number 240.00-2-23.2. The precise boundaries are as set forth in Appendix A (metes and bounds description) and Appendix B (site plan).[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: Appendix A and Appendix B are on file in the Town offices.
D. 
Uses. Uses not specifically allowed are prohibited. The following uses are allowed within the planned development district:
(1) 
Convenience store, including sale of fuel.
(2) 
Bank, including drive-through service.

Development requirements.
(1) 
This planned development district may contain a single-story structure no larger than 5,300 square feet with two gas canopies no larger than 2,000 square feet. There will be no more than six dual-access multi-product fueling dispensers and one stand-alone single access diesel fueling dispenser with two underground storage tanks, and such tanks may not exceed 15,000 gallons each. Currently, it is the applicant's intention to develop a convenience store with an attached bank. The bank is permitted up to three drive-through lanes which will not be included in the calculation of the building's size. There will be no fewer than 36 parking spaces. The planned development district will contain no less than 50% green space. There will be one full-access curb cut on Route 67 and one full-access curb cut on Luther Forest Boulevard.
[Amended 5-4-2015 by L.L. No. 3-2015[2]]
[2]
Editor’s Note: This local law provided that it should take effect six months after the date of filing with the New York Secretary of State.
(2) 
The building is permitted two building signs no greater than 24 square feet each. There is also permitted one freestanding sign of no greater than 64 square feet, which may be internally illuminated.
F. 
Site plan review. Development within this planned development district shall be in accordance with the provisions of this legislation and shall be subject to the site plan review authority of the Town of Malta Planning Board as set forth at Article VI of Chapter 167 of the Malta Town Code. The precise location of the proposed building, signs and other components of construction, as well as the precise building materials, landscaping, lighting, location and precise number of parking spaces, shall be determined through the site plan review process, provided that the minimums and maximums set forth in this legislation are complied with. No building permit shall be issued without final approval of the site plan by the Town Planning Board. The approved site plan shall not be materially inconsistent with the proposed architectural renderings set forth at Appendix C (architectural renderings dated March 22, 2013, titled "Sheet T-1").[3]
[3]
Editor's Note: Appendix C is on file in the Town offices.
G. 
Water and sewer service. This planned development district will be connected to a public water supply and municipal sewer service, and all appropriate written approvals shall be obtained from the appropriate authorities and the Town Engineer prior to the issuance of any building permit or certificate of occupancy. Connection of this district to a public water supply is expected to require installation of approximately 1,000 feet of main from the source along the south side of Route 67 to the planned development district as depicted on Appendix D (map titled "Saratoga Water Services Maltaville Extension," dated February 3, 2014).[4]
[4]
Editor's Note: Appendix D is on file in the Town offices.
H. 
Public benefit.
(1) 
The zoning change effectuated by this legislation will necessarily impact the surrounding residential properties, specifically the developed portions of Maltaville depicted on Appendix E, Clough Harbor and Associates Map, dated June 2011, identified as "Figure 7" and entitled "Maltaville Water Supply Study Surficial Geology," depicting approximately 75 properties.[5] The applicant originally considered ameliorating these impacts by installing a water transmission main to service surrounding properties, but doing so would be disproportionate to the impacts at issue. Therefore, the applicant proposed the payment of $200,000 toward the design, permitting and construction/installation of a water main to such properties. As this sum is roughly proportional to the impacts at issue, the Town finds such payment to appropriately mitigate the impacts of the proposed development and further finds that payment constitutes the public benefit contemplated by Town Zoning Law § 167-26A.

The applicant will enter into a written agreement with a public water supplier authorized to deliver water service to such surrounding properties as a secondary water purveyor. If this supplier requires federal, state, county or other approvals in order to do so, the applicant will take all steps reasonable and necessary to assist the supplier in acquiring such approvals.
(3) 
The written agreement will identify the Town as a third-party beneficiary for purposes of enforcing the use of the applicant's funds toward future extension of water services in the manner described in this legislation. The agreement will also indicate upon what circumstances and conditions the facilities will be extended by the supplier and provide the Town with the means for determining at what point the identified circumstances and conditions have been satisfied. The applicant will provide the written agreement to Town Counsel to confirm that all required provisions are set forth therein prior to the issuance of any building permit for this planned development district.
(4) 
There are approximately 75 properties within the Maltaville area to be serviced. Of these properties, it is anticipated that the applicant's payment will allow for initial extension of water service to approximately 10 properties. The water main ultimately extended into Maltaville will be eight inches in diameter and be sufficient to provide adequate supply for residential use and fire protection for this area supporting 75 properties.
(5) 
In the event the secondary water purveyor does not wish to construct a water storage tank, it must obtain a waiver to permit water service extension to Maltaville without construction of any water storage tank and demonstrate that the Saratoga County Water Authority agrees to reserve capacity in its system in an amount adequate to provide for the Maltaville properties serviced by the system. The Town Engineer will confirm compliance with this provision and absent compliance, no building permit shall be issued allowing construction within this planned development district.
(6) 
Approximately 1,000 feet of water main must be installed within Maltaville, and service must be available to all homes adjacent to this main, prior to the issuance of any building permit within this planned development district.
I. 
Buildings. All buildings shall be constructed in accordance with New York State Building and Fire Codes.
J.
