Donald Clements-If the Town does not pass this resolution, can the County
receive the community development funds to be used in Queensbury?

STATEMENT READ INTO THE MINUTES
Queensbury Town Board and residents
It is difficult for me to understand how you, the members of the
Queensbury town board, and many of you who attend the Queensbury Town
Board meetings, can continue to enjoy the benefits afforded us under
our free enterprize system, and still constantly try to persuade the
majority of the citizens to accept a little more socialism.
Individual freedom, initiative, aid incentive have made this
the greatest county in the history of civilisation. We have received
little if any thing save trouble from the communist-socialist states.
We have aided them possibly more than we have aided those countries
whose principles more closely parallel the principals that this country
was founded upon.
Our farm products, industry, and technology have all bean exported
to these Communist-Socialist states with a on& way ticket at the U. S.
taxpayers expense. These "gifts" have helped destroy the value of our
dollar, caused the collapse of our own industries (unable to compete with
slave labor) , and brought about severe inflation with planned imposed shortages
We pay at least in triplicate for everything the government supposedly
"gives us", for the government whether on a local, state, or federal level,
has nothing to "give" until it has taken it from us .
I have heard on nearly every instance where state or federal aid
was to be utilized on a project in Queensbury that it really wouldn't
cost us anything. It is costing us plenty, not only in our hard earned
money but in our freedom to keep the reins of local government in our
own hands where we can keep a closer watch of what is taking place.
And the socialist programs continue to be thrust at us in a never
ending stream.
Thank you,
Donald W. Clements /s/
Supervisor Brandt- there are a lot of people that pay income taxes and
would like to compete for a return of some of those federal dollars to
this community, from my view point I would have to go along with them. . .
if we restrict ourselves not to accept any federal funds then we are paying
for a lot of other peoples projects , that is a self imposed restriction
that I am not willing to go along with.
Councilman Olson-reviewed the project and in favor of it. . .

Dear Mr. Brandt:
I am owner of Parcel #27. 2 fronting on Route 9, bounded north by Bodenweiser
and south by Meadow Run Development Corporation.
Parcel ;27. 2 is bisected by the boundary of Residential Zone R-4 and
Commercial Zone C-3. I am formally requesting that this boundary be
re--established in conformance with the westerly line of this property for
the following reasons:
The above properties have been used for non-conforming commercial purposes
for ,many years without objections.
Adjacensty, to Route 9 makes commercial use the logical, highest and best
use for them.
There are no apparent reasons for the present boundary placement and
therefore it must be considered capricious.
Having the zoning boundary conform to the property lines will clarify
the potential use of these lots to the benefit of present and future owners .
Thank you for your attention to and consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
/s/

REZONING REQUEST
Mr. Mike Brandt
Queensbury Town Board
Town of Queensbury
Oueensbury Town Office Building
Bay at Haviland Road, R.D.J�l
glens Falls , New York 12.801
Dear Mr. Brandt:
Request -for Rezoning
This is a request that the Queensbury Town Board consider changing
the zoning of our property from R-4 to C-3 in order to reflect accurately
its actual use. For the past thirty years a commercial building has
operated on this site at the corner of Dix Avenue and Queensbury lace.
It was built by Mr. Nassivera, sold to National Dairy (Sealtest) in 1959
and then purchased by us in 1974.
The building' s layout and construction are suitable only for commercial
use, not residential. The area along Dix Avenue on both sides of Queensbury
Place is also commercially used. Barretts Hertz business , Waite' s Motorcycle
Sales , and Fox' s Quaker Repair and Sales Center occupy the other three corners.
Lot in Question
All that Tract or Parcel of Land, situated in the Town of Oueensbury,
County of Warren and State of New York, known and designated as Lots Nos .
16, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21 as shown on a map of Imperial Heights Park filed
in the Warren County Clerk' s Office.
Present Hardship
The current zoning makes it difficult and on several occasions
impossible for us to rent retail space due to the need for a variance
prior to tenant occupancy. Being able to plan and react immediately
—to business opportunities is necessary to keep our ice business
competitive and responsive. We are hampered in this because we
operate under a variance. Long-range expansion plans are not possible
without commercial property zoning because existing requirements for
variance offer no assurance of what will be possible several years in the
future.
Conclusion
Because the property was originally developed for commercial use
and has continued as commercial property for thirty years , it should be
zoned to conincide with that use.
294 It seems appropriate also for the Town Board to zone for commercial
purposes the other businesses along Dix Avenue so the entire area is
consistent with the use and nature of the buildings occupying; the land.
Please let us know if additional action on our parts is necessary
for you to act on this request.
Yours very truly,
/s/

TO: OUEENSBURY TOWN BOARD
Good evening gentlemen. MY name is Don Bodak! and I reside on Bullard
Avenue in the Town-of Queensbury. I'm here this evening to bring to light
a condition which isn' t corrected soon, it could become serious and even
have fatal consequences . This letter I'm about to read will ,give a
thumbnail sketch of the problem before I continue.
Gentlemen, that letter speaks for itself. I would like to elaborate
for just a moment if I may.
I have never heard of a private hydrant. It' s new to me. This
particular hydrant is in two feet of water, below road level, and frozen.
solid on cold mornings . I understand that this condition a7xists elsewhere.
T°?hen land developers come into the area they buy these hydrants
so that they can get an insurance break. .Wh.en the development is
finished, no one, either the Town of Queensbury or the City of Glens
Falls lays claim to them, because they are considered private. This
kind of leaves the Homeowner out in the cold. He is not sure when the
hydrant works or not. But he is confident that if they As a fire department
will be able to put out his fire. But they may be fooled once the
department is on the scene.
The area I live in is heavily wooded. Crandell Park is to the east
of me and the ski trails are to the north of me. With the upcoming of
spring and the eventual cook outs it will take only one careless action
to cause a disaster. It could make the one twelve or fifteen years aAo look
like a campfire.
I would like to make a few suggestions to possible correct this
situation.
1. Identify all private hydrants in the town.
2. Check to see if they are serviceable.
3. Turn the control over to the water department
4. Pass a resolution turning the jurisdiction of these
hydrants to the Fire Marshall
If these four suggestions are followed, it would surely give
homeowners a better feeling of security knowning that protection is
only a few hundred feet away and in some instances , closer. ._
I sincerely hope you will give this problem some close consideration
so we all can rest a 1P.ttle easier in our homes .

Councilman Robertson- Water Districts are a special district and service
can be supplied only within that district. In Broadacres a large number
of families buy their water from the City of Clens Falls . Glens Falls 29-5
has set a policy that they will not provide service outside of the Citv
Line. I feel the solution is to form a maintenance, district in that area.
Supervisor Brandt- noted that the Town Counsel has been working on this
problem. . .will bring this up at the workshop session. .
