PUBLIC HEARING -PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO ZONING ORDINANCE REGARDING
DOCKS
8:05 P.Al.
NOTICE SHOWN
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Read note from Town Clerk. This says, the Planning Board agrees
to the Town Board being lead agency for the ...the amendments to the Zoning Board concerningq
docks and marinas. Moved by Mrs. Mann, seconded by Mr. Cartier and passed unanimously.
The Planning Board instructs its staff to inform the Town Board they would like more time
to review the proposed implications before making a recommendation. That is part of the
recommendation that our attorney gave to me this afternoon, was that recommendation that
we would conduct this public hearing tonight to take input but he would recommend no action
this evening. Pending on analysis of what happens tonight, what the input is, and then this
other input which should come today or within the next several days, or a week perhaps.
3oS
E
So perhaps there can be some action there. So with that said and with the fact that this has
been publicized and advertised. 1 think we can go ahead, anyone who wishes to speak for
or against the proposal, which very simply is this. This is the change from the rules and regulations
that currently exist to make them the some as the regulations, I believe they make exactly
the some as the regulations of Lake George Pork Commission. Is that right?
ATTORNEY DUSEK-No. The twist of the .... to re-define the definitions in our ordinance
to bring us bock in the position that we were in, in the previous ordinance concerning the
docks. Effectively the revisions although they don't, you won't see the word allow to rental
dock but that is one of the things that these regulations...
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-They permit each parcel of property to hove one dock rental space.
We worked through a whole variety of variations. The reason behind this was that many people
have approached us and called us saying, that for years, perhaps twenty or thirty or thirty-five
years, they have rented dock space on Lake George and they hove become almost part of
families in many cases. Now under the new rules and regulations which took effect October
1st, they feel like criminals because they would no longer be legally allowed to rent a dock
space. There is obviously a question of enforcement. Could we really, truly enforce any
of these things and it is probably unrealistic if we could, but none the less, the people would
prefer to follow the low. That is what brought about the recommendation that we change
the regulations to permit continued leasing of the one dock space per parcel of property.
That's the bottom line what the changes ore intended to say. But obviously this is a public
hearing, we would like to hear from the public, what you hove to soy.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Steve could I ask the Attorney for a point of clarification before
we start?
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Sure.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-It occurred to me, because I hove most of the bodies of water
in Queensbury except the Hudson River within my word, that we've been zeroing in on Lake
George. Our publicity has been on Lake George and some of the Lake George Park Commission.
But Paul it has occurred to me, by changing the definition, we're going to make these apply
to any docks on any body of water, where docks ore permitted under site plan review.
A T TOR NE Y D USEK-That is correct.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Alright. Steve, realizing this that this is probably so, I asked
Mrs. York as our Senior Planner to please tell us the zones that this would apply and what
areas of the Town of Queensbury that this is going to apply because I think it is going to have
a bearing on how we address this.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Okay, if no one objects, we'll have Mrs. York speak first and maybe
this will give you some more ideas of what to mention.
LEE YORK, Senior Planner-(Presented colored zoning mop) What I did just to make it a little
more visual was color the mop. There are six zones where docks are regulated in the Town
of Queensbury. Basically these are the zones, not all the areas have bodies of water but the
effected areas would be primarily be along Loke George, down the Dunham's Boy area. They
don't hove docks on Sunnyside, do they Betty?
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-We have docks.
MRS. YORK-Okay, Sunnyside, Glen Lake, and this area is over developed, there could be
potential for that, and along the Hudson River.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Maybe you should turn that around so that the public can look at
i t.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Lee, I was thinking we could hung it up here in the front.
SUPERVISOR BORG OS-You ore saying that everything in the pink color essentially could
hove docks.
MRS. YORK-Yes, in the ...zones.
SUPERVISOR. BORGOS-If there were bodies of water.
AIRS. YORK-Yes, absolutely.
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-Well yea, but they're not bodies of water. We hove three bodies
of water. We hove Sunnyside, we have Glen Luke, we hove Lake George.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-And the Hudson River.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-And Round Pond.
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-Well we don't have docks on them.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Well they still legally can hove docks on Round Pond, they're
permitted under our zoning. They are permitted in all the zones that we mentioned...
AIRS. YORK-What 1 did beyond that was call the Park Commission because you have talked
about being consistent with the Commission. I had a discussion with their staff. What they
do now is allow the rental of one dock space to a non-member of the family and this is classified
as a class B marina and must be registered. The registration requirements are, one, that
the marina has a sufficient property for the pavement. So if you rent your space, you will
hove a parking space for the person. Two, that you have a rest room for the patron. Three,
thot there is on uppropriate location to deposit trash. Four, if it comes out, the facility is
required that you con supply that service and require that the rental is consistent with local
zoning. If the individual con meet those criteria then they ore given a permit that is placed
on the dock and if there is any complaints by the neighbors, then the Commission reviews
that and con impose conditions or discontinue the permit. Mr. Parker whom I talked with
suggested that the Town be consistent with the Commission on dock rentals and possibly set
up a compatible system where by the applicant would just make one application to both jurisdictional
areas. So that was requested by Mrs. Monahan.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Thank you Lee.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-In essence that's similar to the memo I hove from Pot Collard a couple
of weeks ago, indicating what the rules and regulations were of the Pork Commission. So
although we didn't frame it exactly the some way, essentially the Pork Commission permits
one rental space and our revision is proposed to permit one rental space. Is that correct?
ATTORNEY DUSEK-At the time thut we implemented this, if you recall, the time margin
within that we were working was such that we wonted to come up with a new...quick fix,
sort of speak, which is why I designed it the way I did. The clause had always been that we
ore anticipating a major amendment to the ordinance at which time this could be further
explored. At least at that time that was the theory that we were looking at.
HAMMOND ROBERTSON-1 am Hammond Robertson, I do reside in Cleverdole, the northern
part of Queensbury. Alot of the things I wanted to discuss hove actually already been discussed
but I would like to emphasize because there is a real purpose of my appearing. I'm fully aware
of the all the discussions that went on with the Lake George Park Commission and how it
arrived there, although I didn't take part of them, I was certainly privery to what was going
on. I have no problem with having single dock rentals. I do not have any problems at all with
that, they've existed, they're real. I think the issues that ore brought up, that have been mentioned
here tonight however do deserve some very serious consideration. My plea was to be, that
you do stop and think before you act and if necessary even take the time to have a second
public hearing because its been my experience that as you relax things, you can still have
controls much easier than to take carte blanche, as what I see the change and definition to
be, and then suddenly try to re-impose the controls bock on. Let me touch on o couple of
issues that were mentioned in the Pork Commission, but they are very important to me.
First parking. Unfortunately rental boats ore a great ... of cars. Its not unusual to hove two
cars per bout. Family comes up, lets hove a friend, lets go for a picnic, and that is every
weekend, at the time when we ... the Board to hove parking problems. So 1 don't think it
is unreasonable that when you permit this that you make a requirement some way, some how,
that this person demonstrate that they hove adequate parking or if it becomes a problem,
you'll have a way to control. The sonitotion and the waste I won't throw out the window but
in my experience in living on the lake for a number of years, ore relatively minor problems.
However its nice to have the control, its nice to hove something from a practical stand point
and having sot where you people are, listening to complaints, its nice to have a handle that
says okay, I con do something about it besides call the sheriff and try and get police enforcement.
That is really not always the way to go. I think the lost thing'is and Mrs. Monahan touched
on that and I noticed Mrs. Potenzo raised her eyebrows, believe me, in my experience, the
access to the water is becoming a greater and greater and greater problem in this Town us
in every other. While its not present on Glen Loke now, while its not present maybe on Round
Pond or the Hudson River, I will guurontee within the next few years it will become a very
real problem. As you put this ordinance together, you should look at the implications and
get ahead of the problem for once and hove some control over it rather than try and react
to a bad situation. So I urge you, most sincerely, to take a look at using a slightly different
system of implementing what you wont to achieve. I hove no problem with it and I don't think
very many people in the room do have a problem with single dock rentals. But if you have
a handle on it, you ore much better off. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Thank you.
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-Con I ask you a question Mr. Robertson. Do you agree with the
Park Commissions regulations on dock rental on the lake? I mean, does the County agree
with them?
MR. ROBERTSON-The basic premise of dock rentals, yes, i supported that.
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-Because my support oil along is not to have, in County government
and Town government, one hand fighting the other. I think we should be consistent with what
we allow on the lake and that is what I think we tried to implement with the resolution and
the present public hearing, that if there is a concern with what we want to implement that
it is going to back fire, because we wont to work together on this.
MR. ROBERTSON-Let me respond to that Mrs. Potenzo. What I said to you, is I do not object
to the concept of single dock rentals. I have no problem with that. I am saying that if you
change the definition and walk away from it, you have given everybody torte blanche and
you lose the handle. If you listen to the Lake George Park regulations, they put some of the t
some conditions that I'm talking about on. They wont to look at parking. The whole philosophy
and I agree with you, we should not be fighting each other. My whole fight in the reconstitution
of the Lake George Park Commission was that zoning belongs here, at the Town Board level.
I express that most heartedly. I did not want the Lake George Park Commission involved
in zoning issues. They got in with the dock and the dock fee right along on another level, r
at another ... This to me is a real zoning issue, just as much as a home business, that somebody
would come before you for an order for Orchard's Park or from Cottage Hill or from where _ .
ever. I think you wont the some type of handle. Its a different problem, so you may hove
to have different methods but I don't think you want to just say it is permitted and walk away
from it.
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-1 don't think that is what we are doing. If that was the implication r
then...
AIR. R OBER TSON-Thot is the reading that I get, if you look at that zoning ordinance, the
changes that you propose, whole heartedl y, it says it is permitted and you walk away. That
is what I read. Now I'm not a lawyer, I'm not anything else, but my experience has been that
is the way the general public will read. Anything else?
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-No, thank you.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-When it was drofted, the thought that I had on my part, at least as for
as Lake George is concerned, that they have the Luke George Pork Commission regulations
ore already controlling. So they're going to hove to comply with those and our regulations
are in addition to those. So as for us Luke George is concerned, certainly I think we had them
covered by both sets of regulations. We adopt the Lake George regulations noting changes
with respect from anything except that the applicant will also have to satisfy the Town of
Queensbury but presumably if they satisfy Lake George Pork Commission, its going to be
redundant. I think Mrs. York, the fact was raised that we shouldn't have redundancy in regulations
between the Lake George Park Commission and the Town. Now I think some points have
been brought up with respect to other outlining lakes and areas that Mrs. Monahan had brought
up. l am not prepared at this moment to comment on whether the ordinance is in a satisfactory
position to handle those type of issues that were raised by Mr. Robertson. Certainly I think
the parking, the sanitary issues, things like that, could be looked at. There maybe some very
easy ways to fix those items on this as well, perhaps further amendments that would address
those issues. Perhaps the ordinance is satisfactory but I'm not right at this moment prepared
to address that port of it.
MR. MICHAEL O'CONNOR-My name is Mike O'Connor, I speak on behalf of the Glen Lake
Protection Association. We try to be very careful when we say we speak on behalf of the
Association. We haven't had a chance to discuss this in full with the Board or with the membership.
So 1'd like to make just some general comments and then get back to the Board with some
more input from the Association. It looks like you're not going'to take action on this evening
which 1 think we're thankful for. I think there hos been some valid points mode that need
further consideration, in particular as to Glen Luke because on Glen Lake, if you adopt this,
this will be the Town or the authority that enforces it. There is nobody else that would be
looking over somebodies shoulder. The Zoning office or the Building Inspector's office would
be the only party that is involved. The comments that were made by Mr. Robertson as to
parking, as to trash, would be a great concern to us, in seeing how that is going to be enforced
on a Town level. I have a question in my own mind from a Zoning point of view. As I would
understand it, that if somebody presently has been leasing a dock space, even if you change
the ordinance in October of 1988, they will still be grandfuthered as a preexisting use of property.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-1 don't think ... maybe our attorney con address that.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-Mike there is a specific section in the ordinance which eliminated grandfathering
in connection with the rental of dock space.
MR. O'CONNOR-1 would challenge that. We establish those rights by use. 1 don't think you
would find it enforceable. You would not find it anymore enforceable then if somebody were
using a piece of property across the street for a gas station and all of sudden your gentleman
says you can't have gas stations over there. Simply because you're calling it by dock use,
I don't think categorizes it out of that area, that you con eliminate it entirely by description.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-There certainly maybe some legal argument. But just so its thereon
record sort of to speak, I did in fact investigate that avenue and docks are in fact different
then a major piece of land in not allowing a grondfuthered piece of land... But there is some
case authority that would indicate that if the use that is, is relatively minor ... obviously
this con be argued but the use of that nature, that it may be in fact knocked right out without
any kind of grondfuthered provisions. I'm sure we con debate it but just to let you know there
is enough there that it causes me to feel that in order to, plus in fact the ordinance says it,
that it is my opinion that it should be revised opposed to just ignored.
MR. O'CONNOR-Its debatable enough but I hate to see the Town spend olot of money on
enforcement in that area when we hove other areas that we con spend our money on enforcement
and maybe let the Town take all the time that it thinks is necessary to go about business
and forms on regulations that are satisfied. People who hove rented in the past, I think could
go ahead and rent to the extent that they had in the post. Then you may not hove the immediate
hardship that some of these people think that there is, for the people that wont to rent this
corning season. I would think that that would allow by attrition the ... for this particular
use. Our particular problem might be, if we get into a real discussion on this, is that this
is not something that is common on Glen Lake. But by providing for and by all economic
terms and what not that ore coming to all different regulations on other bodies of water.
You may be encouraging this on Glen Lake and Glen Lake is a small lake. It really doesn't
have the space to double the number of boats that you hove on the lake or if you increase
the number of boots by a third, if you only had some of the people renting out space. But
us space becomes more expensive on other lakes, I think people ore going to have to look
for outlets. If you put this in, its a blank check that you've written, for those people to go
to Glen Lake and rent and be on the lake as much as anybody else. So I would ask the Board
not to take action, I would ask the Board to perhaps when it does take action, consider Glen
Lake and Round Pond and the portion along the Hudson River, that the Town will have to V
enforce maybe separately from the state and put some rules and regulations in, if you are
going to go along with ...
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Mike, would you soy that, starting with lost summer, you started
to see larger boats on Glen Lake then what has been there in previous years?
MR. O'CONNOR-My observation is, we have larger boots on there then we've had in the post.
Our observation is, we have more day users than we ever hod. We've got a particular problem
with people who come on the lake for the day, because we don't have Encon or somebody
that sets up sanitary facilities for those people to use. We've got a problem on the small
island, that is pretty much unoccupied, its probably not as big as this room, except for people
who wont to get off for a necessity stop, and something to that nature, and there can't be
over four feet of ground cover on any port of that island, if there is that much.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-1 do recall seeing o cruiser on that lake lost year and its the first
time I've ever seen one.
MR. O'CONNOR-They get tired quick though Betty.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-No but I'm just wondering, Luke George rental space so expensive
and everything, I think we do have to look at problems that maybe down in the future.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Mike, one of the things that, I think Lee's group when they did
the Master Plan over, initiated by saying no docks. That was going to be the standard. The
concern was if we did hove dock rentals, we did authorize it, that it would be only encompassing
on the Town, not only in Luke George but on all other bodies. It seem like we were encouraging
something. I hove some concerns that, you know, Steve would like to make it legal for those
that hove been doing it for years. I suppose that is a nice gesture. I wonder how many people
are renting more than one, they're renting two dock spaces. Ham, you might have a handle
on that. There ore plot of those. Are we going to make them legal too or just look away
from them.
MR. O'CONNOR-1 still think that even, under my argument, maybe Paul disagrees with me,
that they would be legal even if this is outlawed. That is not inconsequential some of the
rentals that are received from the one slip or if they've got two or three which is usually
much more substantial. Maybe one avenue to look at is the particular provision of the ordinance
that says, existing ore not going to be grandfuthered, allow existing to be grandfuthered,
go around like DEC did, I'm not sure, five or six years ago, and register everything and make
people register. One time we did with mobile home parks. We made people come in and
register the units that they hud and the lots that were approved, so that they would be able
to be grandfuthered us the new ordinance took effect. You could do the some thing. You
may have to have some documentation that they're going to have to provide when they register
so everybody doesn't just come in and register x, y, z, just to say themselves. That is another
--nue that you could explore. It wouldn't be imploring a great hardship upon those who presently
+ end on it. It would be giving adequate notice to the people as to your future intention
the way that you wont to go in the future.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-For those that ore grandfathered, still have to meet the requirements,
,Id you see that as a criteria?
MR. O'CONNOR-1 don't think they would. You can't impose something on that is not grandfuthered
us opposed to grandfuthered. That is the one thing about nonconforming uses.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-It is olot more complicated than just knowing that the Lake George
Commission has used, it seems.
MR. O'CON NOR-They're starting from new and that is where they are starting a little different
than you ore.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Well they didn't register them, they just said they'll allow one.
What do they do with the person who has two or three?
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-Its not allowed.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-In theory it is not allowed. I don't believe there is enforcement there
ut the moment.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-It is hard to enforce because...
FORNEY DUSEK-1 think I interpret the Lake George Park Commission rules a little different.
nk basically that they allow any number of rentals so long as you meet certain qualifications.
One is very easy to get. Anything over two maybe...
SUPERVISOR BORG OS-Two or more.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-Two or more becomes more difficult. They then have to comply, they
then treat them like a mini morina basically and require alot of other things. Supposedly
that is what controls the growth in that aspect, the numbers of boots on the lake. Another
argument that I think should be considered is that in essence any person that meets the qualifications
of the Lake George Pork Commission, can hove as many bouts on the lake as they would like.
In other words, they do not limit.
MR. O'CONNOR-Except that they thought the two would comply. If ours is stricter than
theirs, ours would control.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-Right.
MR. O'CONNOR-Its like what Mr. Robertson said, we haven't given up our authority to them
to impose local landings. If they have stricter laws, then they would have to apply.
!--R VISOR BORGOS-Their regulations indicate that two or more would make it a commercial
use. A commercial use is not a permitted use in any of our zones on the lake, other than
the preexisting ones, as I understand it. Again the lawyers would do very well on this and
? years to resolve. The whole idea was to try to make some people not feel so pressured
this summer because we don't believe that we had really intended to do what we had done
—')is regard. We want to talk about it and bring it to public hearing. I'm hearing olot of
interesting ideas. Mr. Hotin has assured us that he doesn't have time to go out on the lake
every weekend or week, although it is in the law. Is there anyone else who wishes to speak
related to this dock issue? We'd like to hear from anyone, give us a historical background
or ideas of current situations. We'd be delighted.
CHARLIE ADAMSON-Chorlie Adamson from Assembly Point. You mentioned historical.
How this evening came about, is beyond me. About five years ago, Lake George Pork Commission
passed a rule that said, any rental, any bout that didn't belong to the owner, was a marina.
At that time, Queensbury's Ordinance was not, had no zoning ordinance. When it come time
for Queensbury to have the ordinance, there was some of us that pleaded, at least lets try
�1a
to be consistent. That would hove meant that Queensbury, four or five years ago, whenever
your original zoning ordinance was passed, would hove said no rentals. Okay, in other words,
we would hove then, we would have arrived at lost fall, when you changed the ordinance.
Now, lost full,, I was a bit curious. I went to a public hearing on the zoning. I talked about
septic issues and they said they weren't covered. I said, are there any other issues on Lake
George that I don't know about? The fault is mine, I hod not read everything in that. But
.l would never hove found, this item about the docks because I never would have looked under
miscellaneous. I would have looked under water front. Anyway, what happened is lost year
the Lake George Park Commission reversed itself and Queensbury reversed itself. Now, you
are reversing yourself bock again, so you ore consistent. I am basically opposed. I think the
rental of even one dock space is commercial. i was brought up that way. The land I own
has conveyance that talk about commercial uses and things like that. However, I'm realistic
enough I think to realize that it makes sense on Lake George to allow one. But what makes
more sense and the most sense is for the Pork Commission and Queensbury to say the some
thing. I would agree with that one hundred percent. I think the question of grondfothering
is an importoW otie. I gather that there is some possibility that the rental of two, three and _
four, could be outlawed. There is something in the low that says that there is some possibility
of this. Well with what is happening, and has been happening in the lust couple of years,
would think that this would be, a great step forward if this could be done. Now, you might
wont to make where a legitimate rental that met a hardship, an economic hardship on somebody,
you might want to allow a variance or something like that. But we're getting many marinas
on these, they ore growing this year. We hove some that is unbelievable. I just think that,
I would hope that the Town would study the possibility of non permitting rent of anything
more than one, but one he would never grandfather. The other thing is, nobody has mentioned
on aspect of this that really troubles me. We ore beginning to see the rental of dock space,
not pretty for from me, a cruiser with people spending the night on their cruiser. Now this
has never occurred to me. I guess I'm dumb. But until this happened lost year it never occurred
to me that somebody would rent dock space and then spend the night on it and get up in the
morning and shove and then pour the water in the lake. That was stopped, they don't do that
anymore. Now if you ore going to allow this, it seems to me that you get over into something
that is not intended by your ordinance. I think you get over into, in effect the guys renting
the right to use your property and most of the properties up there ore single family. So you're
getting double family use of property. I just don't know. Maybe there is some way, I would
like to see the ordinance soy, there is no use of these twenty-four hour use of the boots.
Its one thing to tie a boot up, its another thing to go up there Friday ofternoon with or without
friends or children and spend it on a private piece of property one family, and you've got
two families. As a matter of fact this one particular place has a boot on the other side, so
you've got three families. One other point I would like to make is simply that, in terms of
enforcement, I think we've got to be kind of realistic. (Taped turned)
DR. JIM BLAKE-1 think it's time we're going to spoil it, if we don't control it.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Thank you very much. Anyone else? Lost call.
COUNCILMAN MONA HA N-Steve, when the public gets done, I'd like sometime.
MR. HARRIS-Assembly Point. I'd like to ask a question. Whot do we go by now? Con we
hove two boots, three boots, four boots? On Assembly Point, on the east side of Harris Bay,
a couple of docks there advertise rentals, they've got two rentals there. A couple of docks
I know, I hove a listing of the number of their boots and 11l1 hove their names shortly from
Albany, they're going to call me on that. We also hove a problem on mooring. Out there
on the lake, I go out at night to visit some friends, play cards and coming back there are a
couple of moorings that are well over a hundred feet out and then there is ... on the end,
there is no marking on them, there is no red, reflective tape on them, there is no blue tape
on them, and I'm careful coming in because I know where they are, but somebody else is going
to hit them one of these days. Shore Colony is one, Mr. Newell's dock is one, in front of the
Billings dock is one, and in front of the water tower up there where that man built a fence
all around his whole camp without a permit, there is one out there. I wonder who is going
to be policing these or what rules and regulations do we have to go by now.
SUPERVISOR BOR GOS-You've come up with a whole bunch of questions. The rules and regulations
ore the Lake George Pork Commission and the Town of Queensbury and the don't agree at
the moment. Even the Park Commission indicates that two or more, you need a special permit,
special facilities and my guess is, you ore probably right, people are not following those rules.
Mr. Robertson, I think might hove on answer. All the problems we're talking about tonight
are things that bother us everyday, that is why we ore here.
MR. ROBERTSON-Thonks Steve, Ham Robertson again. The main question I wonted to respond
to wos the mutter of buoys and moorings. That is under the direct control of Encon. There
ore some rules and regulations. They do permit one mooring per shoreline. They should
be within one hundred feet of shore, however, and if you hove a problem with that, that direct
answer to that, is that is an Encon's ...
311
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Thot goes straight to DEC, not the Park Commission.
MR. ROBERTSON-No, that is an Encon, the whole issue of jurisdiction and obligation becomes
on issue we could talk about all night, but I would answer that you go to DEC. They may
want to do so but they have the authority, they are the only people that have the authority
on moorings. As for as the conflicting rules and regulations, that's what we're constantly
working on trying to resolve that issue and I don't think anybody can answer it right at the
moment. Except I'd like to make this distinction again apart from everybodies rules, the
°-irk Commission got into the whole issue of definitions on the basis of fees, whether you
reed with it or whether you didn't agree with them, they had to have that for that reason,
I for zoning purposes. You on the other side of the coin are looking at the zoning and the
and uses and they ore separate. They are parallel issues and they ore companion but they
are two different points of view. I think that is why you hove to look very carefully and I
nk the Park Commission should look very carefully too....
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Thank you. I think 1 recommend in the mean time, because most
of your concerns are the dock rentals. Perhaps you could coil up the Lake George Pork Commission
and just mention those. I would think that they would have somebody take a look at that.
MR. ROBER TSON-They ore in the process of doing that right now, Steve.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Moorings are apparently directed to DEC but where would they call,
the Warrensburg Office?
MR. ROBERTSON-The Park Commission might help you because ...if he isn't capable of doing
it us on Encon Officer, he knows who to contact, okoy.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-So maybe you wont to coil the Park Commission, they'll take care
of that.
MRS. LILLIAN A DMA MSON-I'm Lillian Adomson from Assembly Point. I just have one small
point. I hate to see any rental of docks but 1 can see the necessity that olot of people have
to do it. I think because there is so much demand to get upon the lake now and suddenly taxes
so high for people up there. Alot more people that has ever considered renting before
w ore renting because its the only way for some to begin to afford to live there. But yet
"is works a different way too. For those who want to have their privacy and are paying
absorbent taxes to hove their spot on the lake and to have some privacy, suddenly really don't
have it anymore, especially when people live on their boats all weekend. For some people
up at the lake ore only there for the weekend and then they hove these extra bouts beside
them. Its a catch twenty-two. I don't know how it con be resolved so that everybody is happy.
But assessments and the taxes, you know people, Glen Lake you talked about the ... type of
thing and so forth, people who ore living up on the lake, sort of feel as though they're living
under a guillotine these days. You never know how long you are going to be able to live there,
you don't know what is going to happen next. We hod some properties up on the lake this
year, whose assessments were raised. One property went from four hundred eighty-four thousand
dollars to nine hundred and four thousand dollars. I sot and listened to the grievance proceedings
this year and I heard a gentleman saying that with these taxes, with this kind of assessment,
his taxes would be nearly one thousand dollars a month. Not everybody is in such a bud situation
but many people, you just never know, because no one thought that this year there was going
to be on adjustment. One other property went from two hundred and seventy-six thousand
to five hundred and ninety-six thousand. Maybe these are corrections but they are absorbent
corrections. So as I said, you never know from year to year where you're going to stand.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-This is definitely port of the dock rental problem, directly related
to it. Alot of people tell me they rent their docks to generate income to help pay their taxes,
4t is very interesting. Its a very difficult problem we're faced with. Anyone else in the
audience before Mrs. Monahan?
JUNCILMAN MONAHAN-1 did want to make a few points Steve. One that, us mony os
roads that ore out on the Lake George points, ore roads that have been restricted as for
parking on them. So there's a problem right there. 1 also wonted to mention the way the
marinas are growing. If you hove a permit for so many slips and the boots are getting bigger
and you take and increase the size of those slips, you are covering a greater area. Then I
want to point out to the Board, that we do have on page 18 of our zoning ordinance, a definition
of mooring, and I suggest that they also read pages 74 and 75, it talks about docks and moorings,
cause then they will see what would be the actual upplication of what we do. Paul, I might
ask or maybe I shouldn't ask you this off the top of your head. On page 75 where all the
regulations are about moorings, are those the Encon regulations or did we make them?
ATTORNEY DUSEK-No I believe that many of those evolved after a group had recognized.
I think, was it the Pork Commission?
MRS. YORK-You are correct.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-So, you know it is a problem up there that you don't have to just
consider docks in front of these places, but the moorings and you only hove to get on a boot
and ride around Loke George to see it in the most populated areas so you can practically
hop from one dock slip to another around the shores of the lake. Then you have the moorings
out in front of places, I don't know if its been since you've been here Dave or before, but
1 do know we've had several complaints come through your department about moorings moving
into their neighbors water space and so on and so forth. One of which we lost in court. So
there ore plot of problems and its not really a simple mutter and I guess I'd like the Board
to look at it with all its ramifications and all its perimeters.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Is there anyone else? If not, we'll call this public hearing closed.

MR. MIKE O'CONNOR-Appeoring on behalf of the Glen Luke Protection Association. We
filed in December a request for the Town Board to designate the Glen Luke Fen as a critical

critically environmentally sensitive areas along with all lands lying adjacent and within two

of approval.

send a letter out to all communities that are involved in the agreement advising them to
what our position is involving the ogreement. I recommended to Rick that he bring this before
the Board to see if you have strong feelings one way or another to continue the arrangement.
Rick's Department has indicated that they do not wish to continue this arrangement. However,
I indicated to Rick because this is a Board matter, the Board will have the final say here
