a permit to move his trailer from Indiana Avenue to Michigan Avenue,

The public hearing on Hercules Incorporated, Imperial Color and
Chemical Department, to rezone a portion of their property to a
M-2 District from a C-1 District was opened at 8:15 P.M.
Proof of publication was presented by the clerk.
Attorney Wayne Judge of Clark, Bartlett & Caffry represented
Hercules. He said the Company was taking steps to control pollu-
tion. Part of the property in question would be used for waste
treatment equipment and for fuel oil storage tanks needed in the
conversion of furances from coal to No. 6 oil. Plans for the
remainer of the property are not now definite. A parking lot
for employees , a new office building, or a research center are —'
three alternatives. He said the proposals all involve land-
scaping. He emphasized that the rezoning would be in harmony
with a primarily industrial area. He stated that the oil would
not be hazardous because it is of a type that does not ignite
readily. Mrs. Margaret Doty said she opposed the rezoning. Mrs.
Thelma Anderson said she opposed it also. . A statement signed by
Calisla Lee Caldow and one signed by Frank H. and Grace Lynn were
presented stating that they opposed the rezoning. Mr. Michael
Morency said he opposed the rezoning because of the threat to
property values and increased fire insurance. He said ,people in
our area have suffered enough from pollution. Mr. Paul Rayno said
he was not particularly against this but commented that the C-1
designation had been established with a purpose, first to set aside
a needed commercial zone in South Queensbury and second - to serve
as a buffer between industrial and residential areas. Marshall
Seelye, who owns property on Quaker Road, also spoke against fur-
ther encroachment of the industrial area as ruinous to the commer-
cial section. The public hearing was closed at 8 :55 P.M.
Supervisor Solomon said this matter would be referred to the Warren
County Planning Board for recommendations and the Town Board would
probably take action at its next regular meeting on August 13th.

in the Big Boom area from R-3 to M-1 was opened at 9:00 P.M.
Proof of publication was presented by the clerk.

DeSantis was also present. Attorney Judge described the area as un-
suitable for residential development but highly advantageous for light
industrial use. Mr. Max Schenk objected and said others would do like-
wise if they knew about it. He foresaw problems with truck traffic
and sewerage disposal. Mr. Frank Bly approved of the rezoning and said
West Glens Falls needs a good face-lifting. The hearing was closed at
9:07 P.M.
Supervisor Solomon said that this matter also would be referred to
the Warren County Planning Board for recommendations and the Town
Board would probably take action at its next regular meeting on

We, the undersigned residents on and around Lake Sunnyside,
Town of Queensbury, County of Warren, do hereby respectively
petition the Town Board of the said Town of Queensbury to
accomplish the three (3) following projects in order that
these said residents may continue to live in the above
location but with more safety and peace of mind.
1. All ditches be cleaned and gutters installed where
needed , also culvert pipes under the road be installed
where necessary and drainage away from the road be
maintained where necessary.
2. The blind 90 degree corner near Carpenters Camps and
Hewitt Road at the south end of Sunnyside North Road
be widened & brush and trees cleared where necessary.
This corner, because of the high bank, snow accumulation,
and cars often parked in close proximity to the turn
make this corner hazardous to vehicular traffic and also
bicyclists, children, and adult pedestrians.
3. It is requested that street lights be installed by the
town at proper intervals over the whole length of
Sunnyside North to protect both property owners and
vehicular traffic using the road.
This petition was signed by approximately 90 residents of
the area.
On motion the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
