I thank Dave Hatin for being as aggressive as he is on this. It is quite an open mess. The homes are open. REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 02-22-2016, MTG#7 315 The underneath of the mobile homes are open. The animals, varmints, the kids are in and out of it. It is definitely an accident waiting to happen for the Town and liability end of it. I appreciate what Dave has done to move this thing along and to get us here in this hearing. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-This Resolution orders that the structures on the property owned by Yasmine Badruddin and the Estate of Mohamad Badruddin located on lots 3, 4, and 5 at 3 Pinello Road be demolished and removed. Is there any member of the public that wishes to speak to this? RON BALL, QUEENSBURY-The question I have is once you demolish the property the buildings or the trailers what becomes of the vacant property? Are we just clearing it for the owners or does that turn into the Town of Queensbury property? SUPERVISOR STROUGH-The cost will be borne by the Town of Queensbury. The property will remain in the ownership of the original individuals. However, the cost will be added to the taxes due. MR. BALL-So it becomes vacant property. The demolition will be added to the cost of the tax, which these people can walk away from and then it goes to a tax auction. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-That could end up being the long run. COUNCILMAN VANNESS-John is right. I am surmising that is what it is Ron. These mobile homes I am sure you have driven by them are in such dire and drastic need to be removed and taken down. My fear is for the kids. There are a bunch of kids in that neighborhood and the fear of what is going to happen to children. I agree with John. I think what happens is now, John please correct me if I am wrong. What happens is these trailers get removed. Once they are removed it stays in the ownership of the people that are in there. That is in legal action right now that we won't discuss but it is in other legal action. It stays in their ownership. John said the cost that we're bearing to have these removed by the company will be added to their taxes. You are absolutely right. They can walk away from these taxes if they want to. There is nothing that we can do with that. Once it does it goes into a foreclosure into eventually a tax sale. SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Ron there is also the possibility and this is what we would rather have is the owner clean up the property. I believe one of the trailers has been removed of the three. The owner is making movement in the right direction. Anybody else have any questions, concerns, thoughts, seeing none from the public, any last thoughts or concerns.
