We now submit to you this final report,_ which is to bet c d.

connection with this final report, we present
Minutes of meeting with Board, March 13,E I95&
N�inutes of public hearings , March 32t and April
21,j,, 195&
Minutes of regular meeting, April: 289 1958
Seven copies of the revised proposed ordinance
Seven copies of the revised proposed zoning schedule
One copy of the revised zoning map:
I
The proposed zoning map, has been revised in several ways. The indus-
trial district in South Queensbury has been revised to eliminate an indus-
trial area, Which is now designated as residential. This was done because
of suggestions at prior meetings and as requested in a petition presented
at our public hearing on April 21, 1958. Also, the industrial district
north of the glens Falls city line has been changed to eliminate the most
northern area and to extend the industrial district to a strip from
Lafayette to the Delaware do Hudson right of Kay. Also, an area which was
j formerly designated as industrial has now been changed to business,
from the Country Club eut-off road and Glenwood Ave. , to include a strip
paralleling north of Pinevfew Road to Route 9. Also, the business district
extending from the Glens Falls city line to the Caldwell Town Line, along
Route 9, has been increased to 1,000 feet on .both sides of the Route, in-
stead -of 500 feet on both sides. R
The proposed zoning ordinance has been revised in various places.
j The question of manure storage has been solved by the elimination of any
reference to it in Section VII,A,7, which now covers only the customary
agricultural operations, including the sale of ;produce. The terms .of
office for the aembers of the Board of Appeals is now stated to adequately
cover the staggered terms of office of the five members, in Section XVI,A.
I The question of cessation, particularly as to junk yards , has been
discussed at some length, but the Commission decided to rule no change in
the- Ordinance Section XIII,9. However, we suggest that the Town Board co-
ordinate the zoning ordinance with the Town ordinance pertaining to junk
yards, if necessary. .
Other minor revisions have been made in Section VIII,4; Section X.11;
amd Section IX A 2 s w
, , a well as B,I, and 3. In. Section X?ac, the violation
has been changed to 30-days. - The Zoning Schedule has been changed where
necessary to reflect ordinance revisions.
As agreed during the public hearing on April 21, 19589 by the seven
Commission ambers present, and later approved at our regular meeting on
April 28, 1958, we recommend to the Town Board that the proposed ordinance
be submitted to the people on a permissive referendum, if determined that
this can be done acebrding to Tom Lav,
We would agaLn like to state that comments and questions raised by
residents have been considered by the Commission. We believe we have
talked to between 500 and GOO residents at the 713 "group. talks", and
"public hearings" held throughout the Torn-$ of which about 75, were at the
two "public hearings". On the bssis of a1l 'df -our talks with residents, we
have not changed the opinion expressed in our, prelnary report, to the y:
effect that the majority of those residents with whom we talked were in
favor of zoning.
The Zoning Commission has now completed and presents this .Xoning
Ordinance according to Section: 266, Chapter 62 of the Consolidated Laws.
