CHAPTER 179 "ZONING"RELATING TO MAIN STREET DIMENSIONAL
REQUIREMENTS AND SPECIAL USE PERMIT SPECIFIC STANDARDS
NOTICE SHOWN
PUBLICATION DATE: DECEMBER 5,2014
SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Okay, we just had a couple of corrections to make in the code. We do
this from time to time and these are not biggies. One is related to the wording in our Main Street
zone. There was already some confusion as to the building size in comparison to the lot width. Was
it the building lot, the building width or the building lot width? Well we eliminated language that
contributed to that confusion. To make it very clear that in most cases, and we do allow exceptions,
in most cases, the building has to be sixty percent (60%) of the lot width. So we got rid of the build
to lot width, we just put lot width. We made it simpler and made it clearer. The other thing is that
we have two (2) definitions in our code book. One (1) is for commercial mineral extraction and the
other is sand, gravel, topsoil extraction commercial, which are essentially very similar activities in
terms of tone and impact. So they need to go through special use permits. Well inadvertently, the
sand, gravel, topsoil extraction commercial was left off of the special use permit requirement. So we
added it as it should be. So those are the only two (2) changes we're proposing tonight. There is a
public hearing on this. Is there any member of the public that would like to speak to the zoning code
changes that we're proposing as I just described? Any questions or concerns on behalf of the Board?
All right, I will close the public hearing.

4.0 CORRESPONDENCE
DEPUTY TOWN CLERK II, ROSE MELLON- The Supervisor's Report for the month of
November for Community Development/Building and Codes is on file in the Town Clerk's
Office.
5.0 PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR(LIMIT- 4 MINUTES)
RON MILLER, REGIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE-Thanked the Town Board on behalf
of the Board of Directors, staff and the members of the Lake George Regional Chamber of
Commerce. He appreciates their support and collaboration in 2014. Spoke to the Board
regarding a neighborhood initiative called the Cleverdale Greenway Project. It's the
neighborhood creating a pathway in our community where walking and bicycling are safe,
healthy and fun.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Thanked Mr. Miller for his proactive leadership on many projects in
Lake George.
JOHN SALVADOR-Referred to Mr. Miller's comments concerning the Cleverdale Greenway
Project and noted that Cleverdale Road is a Town Road by use. Inquired about the status of the
Town Boundaries with regards to the Lake (Lake George).
JIM MACKEY- Spoke to the Board regarding a letter he sent to Jeffrey Tennyson concerning
citizens using Town equipment for County meetings held at our Town Activity Center. He has
not received a response and the meeting is scheduled to be held on January 8th. Any help from
the Board in contacting Mr. Tennyson would be appreciated.
BRIAN GRANGER- Spoke regarding fire and EMS budgets. Most of the companies have
mortgages on their buildings, when the mortgages are paid off are we going to see a dramatic
decrease in the budget?
SUPERVISOR STROUGH- Yes, it usually does go down.
ANDREW HOLDING-Came to speak to the Board regarding the second item on tonight's
agenda, (Amending Queensbury Town Code Chapter 179 "Zoning"Relating to Main Street
Dimensional Requirements and Special Use Permit Specific Standards) but arrived late and the
public hearing was already closed. He noted his concern with the Fort Miller extension of the
Dream Lake sand and gravel pit. The law was changed over the summer to allow sand and gravel
commercial use in rural residential zones. This was previously only allowed in heavy industrial
zones. He expressed his concern with the language used.
JOHN SALVADOR- With regards to the fire companies, the previous administration allowed all
fire companies to list depreciation as an expense. In doing it this way we end up paying for these
buildings and depreciable items twice, once when financing them and then a second time when
you're using depreciation as an expense.
