Dear Mr. Solomon: --�
We refer you to your letter of June 10, 1970 and a map
showing 3 pieces of property which were previously owned by
Warren County, and your request for a recommendation relative
to zoning classification on the parcels.
The fact that there is insufficient information in your
letter, nor is there any report or full statement of what the
Town of Queensbury intends to amend or change, causes us to
request that you provide us with full particulars and a full
statement of proposed changes as to each particular parcel in
order that this Board will be able to give full consideration
to the matter on its merits.
Meanwhile, due to this delay, we ask for additional time
for our review because of the time lost due to the need for
the complete information. Also, we wish to call to your atten-
tion that it is necessary for the municipal agency having
jurisdiction in the matter to file a report with the County
Planning Board within 7 days after their final action.
Your early. reply will be appreciated.
Very truly yours,

Councilman Demboski suggested that this Board authorize Gerald
B. Solomon, Queensbury Town Supervisor, to bring the suggestion
back to the County Board as soon as possible that the County
seriously consider the re-purchase back or make an offer at
least for these three parcels of land. Supervisor Solomon
agreed to take this to the floor of the Warren County Board of
Supervisors at its meeting on July 17th at 2 P.M.
Councilman Austin suggested that regardless of the county action
the Town Board set a date for a public hearing on the re-zoning
of this property at its next meeting on July 9 , 1970.
The Supervisor opened the meeting to the public. Mrs. Agnes
Palmer, secretary for the Glen Lake Association, contended that
it was illegal zoning. She referred to the provision of the
municipal law stating that a rezoning question must be presented
to a county planning board before a town board takes action and
cited a supporting opinion by the attorney general. Supervisor
Solomon replied that "We have to be guided by the town attorney".
Dr. Lester Huested asked what was to prevent the board from re-
scinding its previous zoning on the spot. Supervisor Solomon
explained the legal steps involved. A motion to rescind would
453
require the same kind of duly advertised public hearing as the motion
to zone, Dr. Huested was told. Attorney Louis M. Carusone, president
of the Glen Lake Asso&tion, pleaded with the board to use its condemna-
tion powers to establish a park district in the area. The ultimate
solution to this and other problems is a sewer system, he said, urging
the board to expedite construction. He said we should have an environ-
mental committee to clean up this town so young folks will know you're
doing something. He said, "I hope in the years ahead, instead of being
councilman, you will be statesmen--take the lead. Please devote your-
selves to cleaning up the environment of the Town of Queensbury. Roger
Ryan, an engineer, pointed out that percolation tests prove nothing but
the ability of soil to absorb water. The risk in the Gurney Lane area,
he said, is that enzymes and phosphates that build up in the soil will
leach into the lake and wellfields following the natural course of the
sloping ground. Their were several other people who spoke in opposition
to the Ski and Shore plans for a motel and urged the Board to leave this
land in its undeveloped state.

Att: Mr. Gerald Solomon, Supervisor
Gentlemen:
Enclosed are two prints of a portion of the Hercules property map
showing land owned by Hercules north of River St. , outlined in
brown, containing approximately 8.5 acres. This land is zoned for
C-1 use under the Town of Queensbury Zoning Ordinance. We have
plans to use part of the land in the near future for expansion of
our #6 fuel oil storage facilities and for construction of a pri-
mary industrial waste treatment plant. These proposed facilities
have been drawn on the print in red to indicate approximate size
and location.
We are requesting that the zoning classification for this land be
changed from C-1 to M-2 to permit construction of the fuel oil
facilities. It is our understanding from discussions with Mr.
Liapes that the waste treatment plant is allowed under the present
C-1 classification.

We shall be glad to furnish any other information you may require
upon request.

Gentlemen:
We have reviewed the application of DeSantis Enterprises, Inc.
for a change in the zoning map for the Town of Queensbury and
rezoning of certain premises therein and note further the
petition of other area property owners indicating their wish
to be rezoned in the same manner; namely, from "R-3" residential
to "M-1" light industrial.
Upon consideration of the petition and discussion in detail with
Mr. Gerald Solomon, Supervisor of the Town of Queensbury, and Mr.
Carl DeSantis, President of DeSantis Enterprises, Inc. , we have
decided to not request a zoning change for the property owned by
Finch, Pruyn & Company, Inc. and International Paper Company which
lies to the east of the Big Boom Road and which adjoins the pro-
perty of the petitioners. Further, we do not oppose the applica-
57
tion of the petitioners for rezoning to light industrial.
It may be more appropriate for their purposes and for the
long range benefit of the Town of Queensbury that this
property be rezoned for other than residential purposes.
It is difficult to determine whether it will- be more de-
sirable that our jointly owned property be for light
industrial use or for residential purposes and for this
reason it seems preferable at this time to retain the
residential classification.
This matter has been discussed with International Paper
Company and they concur.
Very truly yours,
TOM

structed to notify nearby property owners of the public
hearing.
