quest stated. . .Assistant Building Inspector recommended approval. . .
NOTICE SHOWN AND READ.
SUPERVISOR BRANDT- Opened the Public Hearing 7: 30 P.TT.
Requested anyone interested to speak
for or against the application.
COUNCILMAN ROBERTSON- Questioned if there was a sticker on the
mobile home that stated that it met some
type of standard?
HAROLD BOYNTOIT- That is correct.
COUNCILMAN ROBERTSON- Does that seal lead you to believe that
it conforms to the code?
HAROLD BOYNTON- I would say ,yes . "I found a panel sticker
114
which signified that this trailer was
designed and built to specifications
required for a section of Northern United
States which included New York State. "
As far as the ilectrical part of it
I have no way of knowing.
00UI0]LMAMMOSERTSON- We do have a requirement in the Town
which says that a trailer or mobile home
must conform to a certain set of standards .
I want to be sure in considering phis
application how close we are to those
standards, and what are the implicationsy
o_f_ deviating from them? This is
important for all those to follot>>, be- 1
cause in my opinion we must treat all 'J
fairly.
HAROLD BOYNTON- Reviewed the letter that he sent to
the board in regard to snow load and
instikatibm- Noted that the mobile
home looked good and was well kept,
what I could see of the wiring looked
good, the septic system was well hooked
up , I am sure it will not be a detriment
to the Toxm of nueensbury.
SUPERVISOR BPL*DT- Asked for further comments . No one spoke.

Requested anyone wishing to speak
on this application to do so, eifHer
for or against.
No one spoke . . .
Declated the public hearing closed 7: 38 P.M
SUPERVISOR BP.ANDT- I will make a motion that we approve the
permit for Carol & Tracy Stevenson.
COUNCILMAN BARRBE11- I will second that.
SUPERVISOR BRANDT- Is there any discussion?
COUNCILMAN ROBERTSON- I am very reluctant to make a change at
this point, that I do not feel we can
survive without being arbitrarily capricious
in the case of some other trailers that
are going to come in. The minute we
change the standards we change them
for everybody. . . If we going to
continue to seek to find a reason to
accomodate everybody under the ordinanc�
the ordinance then does not have mush
vale, in. rAy judgement. If I can be
convinced that there is something wrmng
with our standards I am perfectly m*fling
to change them but I got to do it on the
basis that I am being fair to everybody.
SUPERVISOR BRANDT- We do have a mobile home ordinance, it
pretty well adopts what the State recommend-
ed , the code change in 1974, I am not
sure any of us really knows what it says.
Here you have a home that is certified for
the northern part of the United States for
snow loads and proper insuJJgt&Qt. It is
l �5
in an area that there is no one near
it, it is sheltered from other neighbors.
. That is part of this application and part
of the reason I would support it. I realize
it is setting a precedent in the future
for other people but laws are made for
guidelines) and I think teat we have to
apply our common senge.
COUNCILMAN ROBERTSON- The basic question has to be how fair are
we to everybody concerned . . .what bind of
standards and guidelines do we set?
``- HPIROLD BOYN .- noted his inspection of the mobile home,
commenting that it did not have a1.Y. St.
sticker of approval. . . in my own mind I
think it is a safe trailer. . . . it is up
to you people to judge each individual one
on its merits , its hardships etc.
SUPERVISOR BRA11DT- I think that it is well understood that
these people intend to build a house to
replace this , they will build it as soon
as they, financially can do that. They
can not be limited to a year or two because
of their personal. situation and I think
that also enters into it, in my judgement.
COUNCILMAN BARBER- How soon�Tracy, do you intend to build your
house?
TRACY STEVENSON- I have no idea. . .
COUNCILMAN BARBER- In respect to the electrical service and
the internaf aspects of the home does it
( conform to the 1974 standards?
I
?-1AROLD BOYNTON- I have no idea. . .reviewed the wiring that
could be viewed. . .
COUNCIL" 'N BARBER- I have for a long time, maintained that
application for mobile homes would be 197 +
vintage and amter, nothing older than 1974.
That philosophy has been for about a year
or year and half by this board. It was so
directed by the members of the board to your
office that you would not receive any
applications for mobile homes for anything
less than 1974. A very good effort on the
part of the Stevenson family, I must commend
them on their effort, to come forth with
this particular mobile home and your unique
inspection of July 13th. You made me look
at my position a little bit kleser, it is
really difficult to establish a precedent,
and I think that we are establishing a
precedent this evening. I have asked the
town counsel to look into this and I would
like to table this , this evening fmIJ the
next meeting, I know this is a hardship on
( the Stevenson' $. . I can not give you an
honest decision tonight in good conscience,
�— I am asking my fellow board members to delay
this nne more evening.
COUNCILMAN ROBERTSON- ghat legal aspects are you looking for?
The only question I have is whether we
should grant it or not.
COUNCILMAN BARBER- There is no question that we are establish-
ing a precedent.
SUPERVISOR BRANDT- We are establishing a preceddat, however we
do review every application that will ever
come into the Town of Queensburv, that does
116
not leave us powerless. There are
circumstances that are quite unique
1. it is certified, and things that have
been brought out by Red, there has not
been anyone appearing in opposition to
this . The sithtis one that works out well
for everybody. I think that one of the
important considerations here, and I do
not take it lightly is that young; people
have to have a chance to build equity
so that they cam. afford to live in a home.
COUNCILTWNT BARBET,"- I agree, but the reason that we ,took
this position is because of the fires
and hazards of pre 1974 vintage . If you
are convinced that this mobile home
is going to meet the basic standards
of 1974 legislation, I am not sold that
you are, just on the electrical end of
it. If you said you were sold on the
electrical service than I would probably
vote the affirmative.
HAROLD BOYNTO11- reviewed the application and inspection
of the D_ rop_ osed mobile home. . .my estimation
is that it might not meet all the standards
that are set forth now by the State of
New York I have no idea what the inspectors
do when they inspect these whets ,:P_hev are
being built. I think it is a safe trailer
I can not guarantee it will not burn down
in a month. . .
C0I71CILMA" WALTrn- As far as the 1974 sticker is concerned,
our assistant building inspector says
he does not know what goes along wit?1
inspection. . . .what did the board base its
decision on by adopting the 1974
criteria?
COUNCILMAN ROBERTSON- The N.Y. State Seal is an attempt to
bring; the structures of a mobile home
into conformance as closely as possible
to the design standards of the N.Y. St.
building code which we apply to our
dwellings .
COUNCILMAN WALTER- If the standards of the mobile home met
the 1974 standards but did not have the
sticker due to the fact that it was pre-
1974 and it met the site approval. why then
would approval not be given?
COUNCIL14ADI BARBED.,- The main question was that the 1974
legislation was set with certain standards
for safety. . . I am horrified that the
assistant building inspector did not
know Vhat those standards are than how can
you tell me that-this meets the 1974 stand-
ards?
HAROLD BOYNTON- I did not say I did not know what the
standards were of the building code. . .
I can tell you all of them. . . I do not
know how trailers are built because
I can not see -:inside of them. I do not
know what these inspectors call for when
they are being made.
COUNCILMAN BARBER- Piloted that he would make arraggements
to view mobile homes being made and
inspected. . . .when we come back and the
Stevenson mobile home meets the requirematit:
I will be satisfied. . . .everytime a mobile
home comes forth it really has to be
in compliance totally as far as safety
is concerned or I will not accept it.
117
SUPE"VISOR BRAIDT- Reviewed the Building Code in regard
to insulation and sheeting for a home
noting the differences between home
standards and mobile home req_uiremetts.
The Mobile Home Ordinance is deliberately
restrictive. Commenting on the fire
aspect, noted that, it is not my role
to protect people from themselves . . .
COUNCILTHA'N BARBER- Again asked for a delay of one week. . .
HAROLD BOYNTON- I have inspected many mobile homes but
I have never seen sueh an elaborate
description of what that trailer contained.

SU171PVISO" BRA?1DT- In reviewing the current situation or
the town financially and looking at our
budgets , I discovered that there was a
discrepancy between my understanding of
what we had done and what the budget
actually said. My understanding of what
we had done and have been doming all year
was to double the amount of bussing
services provided for the senior citizens
in the Town of Oueensbury this year. In
preparing the budget last year I errored
and did not properly show this in the budget
and it came out incorrect and it needs to
be corrected and so I am offering both of
these resolutions to correct it. The
contract itself is also improper and will
have to be rewritten.

RE : DEPUTY RECEIVER OF TAXES
I hereby wish to notify the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury
that Mrs . Jacqueline Vanderwarker of Ridge Road, Queensbury , has informed
this department that she no longer wishes to be Deputy Receiver of Taxes
for the Town of Queensbury. Terminatiojn of her employment is to be

OPEN FORUPI 8: 20 P.11.
I
jMIKE O' CONNOR- Presjented the Board with petitions with
59 names regarding the following:
1,1E, the undersigned taxpayers of the Tojwn of nueensbury, ask the Town Board
of the Town of Queensbury to recognize 'us as taxpavers and improve the road-
ways that give access to our property. !, We would like the Town of Oueensbury
to consider the private ways that are ' sed in common for access to the
terminus ' of MANNIS ROAD and FITZGERALD ROAD, but we know that this is beyond
the authority of the Town Board.
It' s time that the Town Board recognized it' s duty to provide service to us .
We or our predecessors have been promiped paving year after year, and in fact
at one time were told that we were sch�duled on the 1975 Donovan Plan. To
date paving has not been completed aVlwe have seen very little activity on the
part of the Town of Queensbury except occasionally when an irate taxpayer
122
who has suffered loss of a muffler, mufflers or other vehicle damage,
approaches the Town Superintendent of Highwayp.
We note for the record, other roadways in the Town that have been improved
and paved ahedd of our roadways , when in fact these other roadways service
fewer properties and properties not as developed as ours. T°ze are sure you
are aware of the roads we speak of and thus we will not embarrass you by
mentioning them.
Tje also note, as you are well aware, that many of the homes serviced by
T?annis Road and Fitzgerald Road are now year round homes. We are no longer
speaking or addressing a summer resident' s problem. 7°Te are speaking of a
year round problem, which in the winter presents safety problems as well
as convenience.
TTe ask that the ToT,-n. Board imrrnediately undertake a program prior to
winter of 1977 to complete the folloT7ing:
1. Grade roads to a maximum 107, incline or
decline where possible.
�. Install guard rails on portions of the
roadway to border deep ravines . (Some
70 to 100 feet deep)
3. Pave the balance of Fitzgerald Road and
PMannis Road.
We stand ready to assist you in any manner possible to accomplish the
above. Many of us have put a vote of confidence in your favor. Please
do not destroy that confidence. Treat us as taxpayers should be treated.
(Signatures listed-Original on file in Torm Clerk' s office.)
Noted the number of year around homes
in the area. . . (reviewed the area with
a man)
C 0 M CIU1,fAll BARBER- Reviewed the history of t?-ie road. . . —.•
it has been a plea upon the part of
many board members to do something about
this sad situation however the Board has
not been able to prevail upon the elected
capacity of the Highway Supt. to aid the
citizens of this particular area. It
was placed in the budget two or three
years ago to give some assistance and
after the money was placed in the budget
our authority with the highway dept.
ceased. . . .If the people that signed this
resolution will also v6ga favorably
for the referendum to make the office of
highway supt. appointed rather than elected.
IHIKE O'CONNOR- That would be done in November these
people would like something done before
November. . .before the winter of 1977. . .
commented on the winter traffic . . .and
the road hazards .
'dighest rationof assessment in the town
in this area. . .one of the most. . . for
residential purposes. . .
COUNCILI fAT? ROBERTSON- Roads that are town roads we have an
obligation to take care of those that
become service roads are something else
again. Are the people on these service
roads willing to offer deeds to make these
town roads?
o'IIK,E O'CONNOR- we will make inquiries. . .
SUPERVISOR BRAIzDT- Noted that he will speak to Mr. Garb on
this . . .noted that the Town is billing
for the Donovan Plan 40" aid back to the
town. . . skeptical that we can pave this
year. . .however if we can get road
i grades established correctly before
winter it would be a great helpiin
trying to get into next year' s paving
schedule.
MIKE O' CONNOR- Requested a meeting with the Supervisor
and the Highway Supt. at these roads. . .
SUPERVISOR BRANDT- I have met with Mr. Johnson in regard
to his grading;. . .

MR. ROBERT HALL- Questioned the legality of the 100'
maring in Sandy Bay? Is it 100' or 2110'
also noted that a neighbor had placed
a bouy in fromt of his dock and he question-
ed the legality of this?
COUNCILMAN ROBERTSON- Noted that the 200' was not legal since
it was not passed by the TT.V. St. Dent.
of Conservation Dept.
COUNCILMAN BARBER- I understood that we passed a resolution
mairing; the bouys from 100 to 200'
C017ICILMAN WALTER- That was contingent upon its being signed
by the Conservation Commission. . .
SUPERVISOR BRANDT- This will be brought before the Toti.m
Counsel for opinion on this problem. . .
COUNCILMAN ROBERTSOII- Reviewed the process of approval of
the mooring laws.
COUiNCILM k4 WALTER- The ordinance does state that at tl,e
invitation of the owner boats can
be moored closer that 100' .
COUNCILMAN BARBER- Noting that the 100' seemed to be
still in effect that Vbu should receive
some relief in regard to the placement
of .the bouys . . .
ITALL- "voted that the bouys that are placed are
illegal, not the right color etc.
COUNCILTIATI TTALTER- Thig was a topic of discussion at t'^.e

water mark on t?-.e lake. . . any dock is not
considered private unless you pay taxes on
it.
C0U;ICIL7W,T BAR BE,7_- Requested Mr. Boynton to investigate a
124
mobile home on r-lex Lake. . .
R. ?3(3Y NTn'N- noted that lie had reviewed the mobile
home and found it to be a construction
trailer according to the owner. . .noted
that winthin the next three months he
said he was going: to apply for a building:
permit. . . It is legal while he is putting
in drain til& etc.
COUNCILMAN BARBER- You are getting a song and dance contrary
to what I see because he lives aacross
the lake from me. I thoug;''i t that perhap" ;
your office would have gotten to the
situation long before this . 'Noted at
the mini meeting there were several
complaints. . .Noted that the mobile
home is being used for other purposes
other than a construction trailer.
I am displeased with your function as
building inspector in situations as we
had tonigk4t, the last time that you were
confronted with a situation like+ t?-is ,
and this board was confronted with a
situation as we were tonight was when
Harold Robillard took you on personally
at a Board meeting. We have put an end
to these situations, we have set policies
and standards and I am disgusted when you
say and infer that l'teigotheBTowri Board' s
responsibility, we do it with the Town
Board' s approval . That is a lot of non-
sense, because we do not know these
applications coding forth. That applica-
tion should have been denied instantly
and then the politics started. If we are
going to go forth as the result of the
president that was established tonight
therefore I think it is your responsibi-
lity in your office to go forth and .J
find out these rules and regulations are
of the Standards of 1974. You haven' t.
It behouvesygou and your office to know
what those standards are. I donnbt want to
be embarrassed and caught in another
position like I was tonight because your
office was not prepared.
On motion the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Donald A. Chase
