Dear Mr. Brandt, and Members of the Town Board,
It is with deep regret, after twelve years, that I have to
resign from the Town Planning Board, My-personal oblations have
been so demanding I can no longer devote my time to the board.
The past twelve years have been most gratifying and, the men
and women I have served on the board with, have been the finest
one could ask to be associated with. Also, their untiring efforts
have helped to make the Town a great place to live.
My sincere best wishes to the Town Board, and, Planning Board,
and thank you for allowing me to be a part of this great Town Government.
Sincerely,
/s/

Gentlemen:
In as much as the matter of a light at the intersection of Quaker &
Bay roads has recently been discussed by the town board, I am enclosing
copies of my letters one of Jan 7, 1976 to Fred Austin County Highway
Supt. d; and the other dated May 18th to Raymond Schuler N.Y. S. Trans-
portation Commissioner which also refers to a light at the intersection
of 149 and Bay Roads.
As I understand it Bay Rd. is a county Rd. and in view of the heavy
traffic, of which only a small percentage is from the town of Queensbury,
I can understand that it seems unfair that the town should have to pay
for the type of light this intersection needs.
Lead lights are badly needed at both Bay & Ridge intersections with Quaker
Rd. for both the aafety and convenience of the travelling; public.
Sincerely yours,
/s/

OPEN FORUM: 7 : 52 P.M.
Marjorie Pratt-Luzerne Road presented the Town Board with a petition.
Councilman Robillard-recommended that the petition be turned over to the
Highway Committee, noting that the problem with drainage could have been
caused by a new subdivision, this will have to be looked into. . .
Town Clerk- read the following-
Petition May 24, 1976
The Residents of the Luzerne Road, Town of Queensbury would like to see
this water problem corrected. Mad of us have lived here for twenty to
twenty five years and never experienced any water problems before March
20, 1976. We have been pumping water from our cellars since then. The
water is coming in so fast that some are using as many as six sump pumps.
Many Residents are without heat, water and many hot water tanks
have been knocked out. There is much damage to cellars and there contents .
This also is a Health Hazard.
This also causes problems with neighbors. The water we pump from one
cellar runs into some one elses. Plus the noise from the ones who have
to use gas pumps to remove this water .
This is a very costly experience. Many have burned out several
sump pumps Niagara Mohawk Power Corp. rates have increased also the
price of gas for those using gas pumps. Many Residents are out of work
or living on Disability.
Luzerne Road has been covered with water causing damage to
automobiles and Delivery Trucks hitting invisible pot holes.
Mr. Pratt- questioned that if a Drainage Dist. was put in could our taxes
be raised $30. 00 per year?
Councilman Robillard- They could be raised more than that. . .The ones who have
to pay for it are the ones who benefit from it .
Mr. Pratt- If the subdivision on Sherman Ave. has caused the problem of
water how come we have to pay to fix it?
Councilman Robillard-That is what we have to investigate, if they have
blocked a stream they have no right to do that. we will investigate that. . .
Unknown- Noted that there is a large Beaver Dam in the area, he believed
that if that was removed it could help. . . .
Councilman Robillard- We will look at that. . .
Councilman Olson- This problem will be referred to the Highway and Drainage
Committee. . .
Mr. Herringshell-Luzerne Road-Can you give us a date that you will be gettA' t
back to us on the drainage problem?
Councilman Robillard- There is no way we can give you a specific date. . . it
may have to go before referendum and ' then be nut into a district. . .
Jack Hallen- When will the no parking on Quaker road between Lafayette
and Bay Road take effect. . .
Councilman Robillard- The ordinance has been advertised when the signs
are placed by Warren County it will take effect. . .
H. Russell Harris- Mohican Grange-asked when a meeting could be set
up with the full board in regard to the landfill. . .
Councilman Olson- suggested that he contact Mr. Brandt and set up a date
possibly next week tuesday and the full board would meet with their committee.
Councilman Barber- commended the Bicentennial Commission on their work
