Duly adopted by the following vote: Ayes Mr, Beaty, Mr, Turner, Mr. Lampson and Mr. Webster Noes None Memo From Queensbury Planning Board to Queensbury Town Board In accordance with your request, you will find attached six copies of our proposal for a regulation covering mobile homes and-mobile home courts. This memo covers various recommendations and explanations concerning the above regulations.. - 1 - We suggest that the model New York. State Housing Code be adopted in its entirety with the addition of parts 4 and 5 of above proposed ordinance. 2 -. The suggested fee of $100.00 per court is to cover adminstrative costs, while the additional $50.00 fee for each developed mobile home lot is to secure revenue, from same which Twill partially replace the legally questionable assessments now being levied. 3 - kje have suggested that the town clerk administer the mobile home ordinance but if the entire housing code is adopted, itis our feeling, a special administrative agency will have to be established. 4 - Certain terminology will need to be clarified, dependent on whether the board adopts the housing code or just the mobile home ordinance. If the mobile home ordinance only, is adopted, all references to "chapter" should become ''ordinance". 5 - These recommendations have been made by the Planning Board in line with our feelings as to what serves the best interests of the Town of Queensbury and has not been reviewed by legal counsel. 'I 64 This .should be done by the town attorney to insure the legality of all portions. 6 - The attached proposal has the.unanimous approval of the Planning Board. Yours truly, George J. Kushner Chairman-Planning Board A sample ordinancetwas presented to the Town Board for study.
