Joan Missita-neighbor of the Seybolts-voiced her complaint in regard to the smell from the septic system. . . Harold Boynton- inspected the septic system that was put in two years ago, the system that was put in there was put in on a temporary basis and in my estimation as enforcement officer, Mr. Seybolt was in the process of going to build a home, the septic system today had no odor I was there and inspected .it, thoroughly and it is functioning properly. Mr. Seybolt does understand that .if this is granted he will have to put in a 1000 gal. septic tank and a suitable leach field. . . Councilman Barber- Have we not had other complaints in regard to this septic system in the past? Harold Boynton- Not to my knowledge. . .

June 17, 1976 Town Board of Queeneb-4ry Bay Road Glens Falls, NY 12801 . . . Gentlemen: . . . I am writing in regards to the permanent house trailer application filed by Mr. Steven Seybolt, Luzerne Road, filed with the Town of Queensbury, May 18, 1976. I wish to inform the members of the Town Board of my .strong opposition to the approval of this application. I have been a resident of Luzerne Road for the past twenty years, and despite some financial setbacks and having to work twelve hours _ a day at a low-paying-job, I have built up a very comfortable and j presentable residence. I am proud of my accomplishments yet recent actions by the Town Board have left me very concerned and disappointed. Mr. Seybolt purchased the property directly across from my home in 1974. He approached us regarding the placement of a house trailer on his property, on a temporary basis, while he was constructing a house for permanent occupancy. The Town Board issued a temporary permit for a trailer on April 25, 1974, with the understanding that con- struction on the house would be evident and natural barriers retained. Neither stipulation was followed out and a pile of rubble lay in the front yard for over a year. A second permit was issued to Mr. Seybolt apparently because he i claimed several legitimate setbacks. Mr. Robillard advised him n7 that the yard had to be cleaned up and debris carted away (which it finally was) . The second permit expired on May 13, 1976. Now after two years on non-evident improvements on his "proposed home", Mr. Seybolt has the intent to apply for a permanent permit (filed May 18, 1976) . He has once again approached the Board ap- pealing hard -times yet one begins to wonder if his intention to obtain a permanent permit has existed since 1974. I am beginning to believe that the members of the Town Board have bent over backwards to "assist" Mr. Seybolt. He has failed to meet his part of the agreement leaving the neighborhood to face a yard filled with tree stumps, a half-completed shed, water pumps, and i other debris. r Zoning laws were created for a purpose and they should be enforced The Town of Queensbury is alive and growing community. A town forges ahead by the strength of its leadership. If the Board sees fit to grant Mr. Seybolt a permanent permit then I can only surmize that our leaders see fit to take steps back in time. . . I earnestly request that yo+eview Mr. Seybolt' s application care- fully and that you act accordingly to uphold the zoning regulations and integrity of our community. Sincerely yours, /s/ Robert E. Ovitt Mr. Seybolt,— since I received my first one year permit four other trailers have went on that road and I haven' t heard them say one thing about them. . . Councilman Barber- That is not the question, this is the third time before this board, on the two previous occasions we understood your hardships, you led this board to believe that you would do certain things and on two occasions you have not done this,--. . .what are your intentions, you do not have a program of when you are going to do it. . . Mr. Seybolt- I cannot put a time`.limit on it. . .even if I do build there I might decide to move. . .noted several bills when they are paid he would know what he could do. . . Supervisor Brandt- What did you do after your previous application when there was a complaint about your septic system. . . to improve it. . . Mr. Seybolt- I checked it over and it was just like Mr. Boynton said I couldn' t get any odo=, ,I have smelled it in the air too, I have stood outside at night to make sure it was not me. . . Supervisor Brandt- What kind of a system do you have. . . Mr. Seybolt- a 8'x7'x9'deep double leach bed and septic tank: . . Councilman Barber- How many occupants in the trailer now? Mr. Seybolt-six Supervisor Brandt- Hearing Closed. . . 8: 12 P.M. Councilman Robillard- A year ago I pledged to the neighbors up there that if Mr. Seybolt did not make the repairs that I could not entertain this resolution again and I will stick by that gun. . . Councilman .01son- I feel the same way Mr. Robillard feels . . .I stated last year I would vote for a one year but if your program for a modular home was not started I would not vote for another. . . Councilman Robertson- I think what it .points out is that there is a problem with temporary permits once you get into them there is no turning back in my opinion. . . I do not think I can improve the situation by telling Mr. Seybolt that he will have to move his =bile home. . .The answer is not to grant them in the first place but once they are there it is one .of the problems of temporary permits of any kind. . . Councilman Robillard- I believed that this was explained to Mr. Seybolt 38 at the time of his application and that is why he did not go the cost of putting in a permanent septic system, Mr. Liapes has made it a stipulation that a permanent system be put in but I see up here that the fee for the application could not be met, this concerns me.. . . Councilman Robertson I will offer a resolution to approve. . . Councilman Barber- It has come to my attention today that if in the event the Town Board denies the application you would not move. . . is that correct sir? Mr. Seybolt-No it isn't, Where am I going to go? Supervisor Brandt- It will be between him and the court. . . Councilman Olson- If it goes that far. . . Councilman Robillard- Dees he have the money to put in the proper septic system. . .we would be shirking our duty if we said ok here is a permanent permit use the septic system that you have even though we have had complaints. . .last year .at the hearing he was told to get that fixed Councilman Barber- To bring the matter to a vote I will second the motion. . .

Seybolt has made application in accordance with paragraph 2 (c) Section 4, of an ordinance of the Town of Queensbury entitled; ORDINANCE FOR THE REGULATION OF MOBILE HOMES AND MOBILE HOME COURTS IN THE TOWN OF QUEENSBURY, WARREN COUNTY, NEW YORK, to locate a mobile home at property situated on Luzerne Road, arid-.

Mr. Seybolt- But this was approved. . . Councilman Robillard- Maybe it shouldn't have been, Steve, .that is what we are saying. . . if we .were wrong we were wrong and I am the first to admit it. . . Supervisor Brandt- explained the meaning of a temporary permit. . . Councilman Robillard- noted that he felt that the board should be lenient and allow 60 days in wlich to move the trailer. . . 00 Mr. Liapes, noted that- the ordinance allows 60 days in which to move. . . Unknown- noted the she felt that if there .was a problem with the septic system if should have been corrected before they moved in the first time. . . Supervisor Brandt- That is a good point and to the future this will have to be done. . .

The parents felt that every aspect of their lives was adversely affected by the lack of a bus system. We knew that the City of Glens Falls and the Town of Queensbury were working on bringing a bus system to our area and because we felt it was such an important issue we decided to circulate the enclosed petition to show our support for your effort in bting a bus transportation system to our area.
