PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE LED BY SUPERVISOR STEPHEN BORGOS
PUBLIC HEARING
AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION QUEENSBURY CENTRAL FIRE
COMPANY
OPENED 7:35 P.M.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-I'll ask the Clerk if we have properly published the information related
to the first public hearing dealing with the Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation
for Queensbury Central Fire Company?
TOWN CLERK-Yes, it has been.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-This is for your information something that we had to do once before
I believe, perhaps twice before required by the Internal Revenue Service Code that we conduct
a public hearing to deal with minor changes in the Fire Company Certificate of Incorporation.
Is there anyone here who wishes to speak for or against or ask questions about this topic?
Will you state your name and address please and your affiliation? --
PAUL PONTIFF, CLEVERDALE-I represent Queensbury Central Volunteer Fire Company.
I will just give you a short synopsis since we were here a year ago. The language that we used
in- the Certificate of Incorporation Amendment that was required to qualify the corporation
as a tax exempt organization was at that time represented to us by Internal Revenue to be
as we presented then and subsequently later represented to us to be somewhat different. Not
much change, what we've done is amended Article 9 of the Certificate to eliminate a reference
to a subsection of the section of the Internal Revenue Code which relates to tax exempt
organizations. The section that we eliminated is known as Section 501 C-2 which deals with
real estate holding companies and eliminated that to Section 501 C-3 which is a tax exempt
organization. We added Article 11 to the Certificate of Incorporation which I'll read in total
which is very short and which Internal Revenue would like to have to clearly identify that
the purposes of the corporation are exclusively for tax exempt matters as defined in the Internal
Revenue Code. Article ll provides not withstanding any other provisions of these articles the
corporation is organized exclusively for one or more of the purposes as specified in Section
501 C-3 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 and shall not carry on any activities not permitted
to be carried on by a corporation exempt from Federal Income Tax under Section 501 C-3 for
a corresponding provisions of any subsequent federal tax laws. The language that we had in
the Certificate that we presented last year as approved by the Board was similar to that except
that it was a little more detailed and they wanted the reference specifically to Section 501
C-3 rather than the language as we previously presented which specifically said that the
corporation could not engage in political activities and other prohibited activities under the
code. So our language was a little more detailed, but they wanted a specific reference to
Section 501 C-3, so that amendment has been made as a result of a resolution adopted by the
Fire Company a Certificate signed by the President and Secretary and a waiver by the Attorney
General which is attached to the Certificate and now requires the approval of the Town Board
before we can go to a Justice of the Supreme Court for his signature.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Thank you. I'm sure all of us have fully memorized that which was
just stated. I'll ask our Town Attorney are you comfortable with what you've seen from a legal
perspective?
ATTORNEY DUSEK-Yes. Its basically an amendment to the charter and from a legal
perspective from the Town's concerns I have no specific concerns or comments.

SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Thank you. Any questions by any member of the Town Board? Any
comments or questions from any other member of the public? If not, we thank you for your
presentation we close this public hearing.

HEARING
UNSAFE STRUCTURE-HOWARD TOOMEY PROPERTY
DAVE HATIN, DIRECTOR OF BUILDING AND CODE ENFORCEMENT-I believe the Board
is familiar with this location across from Mrs. Monahan's property. We have a structure in
which a fire occurred, I believe 3 or 4 years ago something to that effect, I don't know the
exact date. We still have somewhat of a super structure of the pavilion left. The super structure
of the pavilion. is still left standing what we're asking the Board to do tonight is take some
action in relationship to this to give to the Toomey's so we may once in for all put this to rest
and not' bring it back to the Board again, I believe this is the third time it has been before
the Board two times prior to myself before taking office.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Thank you. I know its been before us a few times and at one time
and I believe it was the last time that we had this as a public presentation, I believe the Town
actually even supplied some orange fence to be put around the property. I know, I drove by
there several months ago and the fence was down there still is quite a bit of debris from the
old building available for easy access by the public. We've seen photographs of the area that
indicate that the floor joyce, I forget now if they're steel or wood are still there. There is
some concern on the part of a number of people that individuals of any age could walk out
there to fish or for any other purpose could fall down through. So I would like Mr. Toomey
or either one of the Mr. Toomey's to come forward and explain to us what the situation is as
you see at the moment, what you've done since we asked you to take some action and what
you think should be done in the future. Would you identify yourself, please.
KEVIN TOOMEY-We can certainly understand the concern for the public, safety and so on.
As far as the trees, steel, and everything that the salvage per say portions that had not been
taken away yet were more than prepared to do that. There is one thing that we would like
to possibly do as an option on that section that the floor joyce are still standing and still there
90
4,
some steel ands some wood. We would like to possibly look at the option of re-decking that
and railing it not necessarily for the public use and also to install a fence around that whole
area not just where the floor joyce and so on are still there.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-So your saying if I understand you correctly that your willing to clean
up most of the debris, but you would like to get a permit of some sort through our normal process
to put in some type of a deck with a railing on that portion where the floor joyce are.
MR. TOOMEY-Right.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-And yet, you would fence in the remainder of the property?
MR. TOOMEY-Right.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Let me ask the Director of Building and Code Enforcement Department
if he thinks that's a viable option and if it's legally permissible to do what they're talking about?
MR. HATIN-If I understand Mr. Toomey correctly, I think it would require number one, a
variance because we are talking about a lapse of 18 months from the use of this structure
therefore, they lost their right to do anything with it. It would have to meet today's Ordinance
which would not allow a structure to be built that close to the lake. Your looking at 75 foot
setbacks which puts it in the middle of the road or beyond the other side of the road I think.
Your definitely looking at a variance I believe maybe a site plan review your looking at some
time and possibly the denial along the way.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Let's take a few other questions from Board members first then we
have to ask the Attorney for some questions. Any other Board member have any questions
or comments?
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Well Steve, I have questioned and I've talked to Dave Hatin about
this the necessity of taking down that concrete pad that's there you know that was part of
the thing the Building Department was asking. I still really question if that is necessary for
that concrete pad to come down.
MR. TOOMEY-I agree. I don't see where or why the necessity for that to come out should
be. When I discussed this with somebody else at one other point, I think that the only
questionable safety instance was the fact that in one corner it's 3 to 31 feet higher than ground
level which can be filled in obviously much easier and graded down rather than removing the
whole area.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-David, what you said in essence is that because none of this building
whatever foundation, structure, whatever is left has been used or nothing has been done with
it for longer than 18 months it now reverts back to nothing can be done with it. I mean anything
that is left there cannot be used or would not be given a permit to be built on to be used as
public access etc. etc., is that what your telling me?
MR. HATIN-That's correct. One thing I should clarify is that the 18 months only pertains to
the use and not to the structure. The structure would be what we call nonconforming structure
right now any expansion or revitalization, I guess would be the best way to put it of that
structure would be prohibited unless they went through the Zoning Board. Mr. Toomey mentions
filling to take care of the problem with the cement pier that also requires some type of Board
action, I believe it's Planning Board. So we're looking at, you know he's going to have to go
before a Board if they want to maintain some of that structure if they remove it all then it's
strictly up to this Board.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-I think, and Kevin correct me if I'm wrong, I think Ron probably
what their looking for is perhaps a place for the family down by the lake. I mean, you know,
they could have a nice area there for picnic's and a picnic table and stuff like that which to
me is not an unusual request.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-The problem is I could appreciate that and maybe for the last three
years if it was cleaned up you could of used it for the family, but it hasn't been so I don't know
what's going to prompt you to want to use it now and look for some more time. It's really —
frustrating if what we're asking has taken three trips to say, clean up the mess that's there.
Betty, if you didn't live across the street we'd probably would have come down harder on these
people that's really a sin because we should treat everybody equally and we're not.
MR. TOOMEY-The only thing that is left there is something that we had a question about
possible use for in the future not necessarily it wasn't just neglect that we weren't going to
go any farther. The majority of the superstructure and the majority of the unusable materials
has been taken out of there as far as somebody using it, you know, I'm down there with my
daughter numerous times and I'm down there not as much this year, but previously raking,
cleaning,
r
91
mowing so its not as if it has not been used for that family oriented purpose. '
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-I have a problem with time. I mean.this has been going on as far
as I can remember three years and I think prior to me sitting on this,,Board. I concur with
Mr. Montesi, that if your neighbor wasn't your neighbor it would have been a lot more drastic.
I find it frustrating because as far as I'm concerned were right back where we were three years
ago. I think it's unsightly, I think it's dangerous and it's certainly on a body of water that is
conducive to the public stock in there and I really think it should be cleaned up and dismantled.
MR. HATIN-The other"problem we mentioned fencing off the property, I don't know it would
be a questioned for Paul I guess, is that our Ordinances are very strict with fencing now and
your looking at a narrow lot there.
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-We opted for fencing the fencing that went up the last time that
they were before the Board and the fencing fell down and still nothing was done.
MR. TOOMEY-The fencing was picked up again by the Town for their own use we didn't tear
it down.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-I think it's still there it was there two or three months ago when I
went by.
MR. TOOMEY-There might be a piece there that they didn't take.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-The idea of it was a temporary loan to being with.
MR. TOOMEY-Right: But, I mean we didn't just neglect it and let it fall down or throw it
away or whatever.
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-The point was that the fence was there so that the general public
could not go on the property and it was there temporarily until the property was cleaned up.
Now the fence is gone be it right, wrong, or indifferent the Town took it back to use it as it
should of used and the property still isn't cleared up and the problem still exists.
MR. HATIN-Correct.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Let me ask our Town Attorney. Paul do you have any questions to
ask?
ATTORNEY DUSEK-I guess the only question that I have in my mind at this point is relative
to, there is a number of different types of structures "things" for lack of a better word that
appear to be mentioned in the resolution. At this point is the Board talking about mandating
the removal of all of them, I think that's what you did in your previous resolution.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-I don't think we ever did that. My understanding was that they
were to take the steel down. The concrete at the time when we did it before I don't think
was ever in question.
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-Has the steel been taken down?
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-The steel is down except for the steel girders. The time that they
started this was a two story structure with steel frame all over the structure so what is left
is what would be equivalent if you had a house a basement level a, support of steel and then
the steel girders that go across that make the first floor.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Kevin, did you at one time try to, wasn't there a application that
you made to the Zoning Board of Appeals to see if they would let you build on that side a house
or something that was denied?
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Warren County.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Warren County denied it?
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Or did you withdraw it?
MR. TOOMEY-Well, we didn't pursue it any farther. They wanted us to go to a reasonable
expense in the form of plans and so on and we discussed it and at that time were not. . .
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-That's the point I'm making that anything you do there now is only
complicated even more. Site Plan Review would require fourteen sets of engineer plans for
anything your going to do on that side for a site plan review not withstanding the variances.
92
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-If they just wanted to deck that steel.
MR. HATIN-If I could just read from a previous resolution that was adopted by this Board of
August 23rd, 1987. Resolution No. 202 states Resolved, that the Queensbury Town Board hereby
orders the remains of this structure to be removed by August 23rd, 1981. That's not the right
date I don't have the exact date that this was given out, but I'm surd Darleen can look it up.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-So we're looking at approximately three years ago since the order
was given.
MR. HATIN-Originally this was brought to the Board the date on this is May 26, 1987 and the
hearing was on May 26, 1987.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-David, what's your opinion of the condition of the floor joyce, steel —
girders, are they usable?
MR. HATIN-I would say they were exposed to a fire, I don't think structually that they are
usable to anybody. Again, it would take an engineers evaluation I'm sure George knows what
were talking about we don't give evaluations that have been exposed to fire that's beyond our
capability.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Have they been bent or twisted?
MR. HATIN-It's been awhile since I've looked at the steel itself, but I believe remembering
from the, fire because I was there that night and also looking at them they have taken some
heat which has definitely affected them structually. My feeling is that even though Mr. Toomey
and I understand he-would like to use the property realistically I don't think he is going to get
what he wants. You know how the Planning Board has acted and the Zoning Board has acted
on variances on lakes and site plans on lakes here your talking about another site plan right
on the lake and a variance on the lake I'm doubtful that they will get one.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Within 75 feet.
MR. HATIN-Within 75 feet.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-I don't know if you can prejudge something like that Dave when
you just want a deck. I mean that's not a use like putting a house up there or something.
MR. HATIN-The other thing too, is that you have to apply for another variance because the —
deck is an accessory structure and you can't have an accessory structure without a principal
dwelling so therefore, you need another variance the list just goes on that's the problem your
in with this whole thing it's on the lake and that's what makes it difficult and those are the
rules that this Board has enacted.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Would Mr. Toomey be able to if there was nothing there would he
be able, owning the property put a dock out there?
MR. HATIN-With a variance the way it's written now, yes if he got the variance.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Why a variance for a dock?
MR. HATIN-Because a dock is an accessory structure and you have to have a principal dwelling
to have an accessory structure.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-I know loads of people all over Town they have places on Lake
George and all they have is a lot with a dock.
MR. HATIN-All I can tell you is the rules Mrs. Monahan.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Is what your asking the Town Board to act on an expensive proposition?
MR. HATIN-I guess it would depend on if they hired somebody or they do it themselves.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-What are you asking? —
MR. HATIN-My personal feeling is and from what I've heard from the Board and the public
and the way this has been going around since I've been here is that the whole thing should be
removed. That way you eliminate the problem it goes back to earth he has a beach there if
he would like to use it for private use, but the danger to the public is gone. You won't be allowed
to fence it in legally by our Ordinance because the fence is not allowed within 75 feet of the
shoreline so even if it was a temporary fence that's all it would be is a temporary fence like
you had before a permanent fence would not be allowed in that area without a variance or
93
site plan.
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-I don't think the idea that this is waterfront property owned by
the Toomey's is the problem it's the structure that is on this waterfront property that is the
problem.
MR. HATIN-Correct.
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-If the remainder of the structure was taken down and the steel
girders were removed and it did go back to natural land your right you could have a picnic
table and it would not have to be fenced in.
MR. HATIN-You would still have use of it, but you wouldn't have what they're requesting tonight.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Just trying to look at the dollars and cents side of this is it possible
that someone would remove that steel work in exchange for the steel just to keep the cost
down? I haven't looked closely and I've seen the photographs?
COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-If it's been burned there is no questioned about it.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-I know that is the concern.
MR. HATIN-I don't know what the substance of the concrete is. I don't know if its a full slab
if its a four foot thick slab I have no way of knowing that judging from it I would say not.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-We obviously want to clear up the problem and I think we want to
do it quickly because it has been around for so long. How does this Board wish to proceed?
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Without putting a family in a financial bind that may be bad for
them if this Town Board felt that there was such a safety hazard that they couldn't live with
it a day longer and they had Town forces remove all of that at a cost how would that cost
be handled would it be a lien against the property?
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Our Attorney is nodding his head yes.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Is that an alternative that you could live with?
MR. TOOMEY-No, I definitely do not feel so. Again, we have taken the majority of it and
removed it. What is left there is basically something that we were looking for personnel use
number one and number two the cost of that slab removal, I fail to see without a much simpler
solution, I fail to see the safety hazard in grade slab with the exception of one, three or four
foot corner.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-I guess what I was getting at is Kevin is not arguing how much should
go, but if the Board said you have X amount of time, thirty days, to do it or we will do it and
I know that is a financial burden, but what I was getting at if that burden exist ultimately
the Town might end up doing it if this Board voted that way and then that would be either
a cost to you directly or a cost on a tax bill or a lien.
MR. TOOMEY-We are by no means trying to give the impression that we don't want to do
anything or are not going to go along with the Board. We are again looking for options for
family use and cost effective as opposed to safety. Don't get the impression that we are not
going to do it because we are.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Obviously after three years you would have to get the impression
that not a lot has been done on your side and I'm not arguing for them I'm just arguing as an
individual on this Board. You would have to get the impression too that Mr. Hatin just told
you a whole bunch of.the options that your considering are going to be affected by you having
to go before the Zoning Board and Planning Board with a set of plans and some definite plan
and if you don't have that then none of those options are going to work either. I guess, just
as one member I'm saying; gee after three years if we perceive that as a real safety problem
we might take some action that is certainly not out of line and say, we will get it cleaned
up and that is a cost that is going to be born by that, that you either do it or we do it. I'm
not avocating that as a whole Board, I'm just saying that is one of the alternatives that we
have to look with because we haven't seen anything coming forth from you after three years
you didn't come here tonight and say, here's my plan for the future I'm going to go before the
Planning Board and Zoning Board that doesn't exist either. So it's hard to look at much more
time.
MR. TOOMEY-To be honest with you, I didn't know if that was going to be an option to be
honest otherwise I would have tried to put something together.
94
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-I just have a problem with time. It's been three years and if I had
seen in the past that you had been working on the project and that you've been trying to clean
it up even if it were a small amount per month that there was some diligent effort made to
clean up-the property, but indeed I haven't seen any of it and that is; my concern. No one wants
to be under the gun and we certainly don't want to put anybody`under the gun, but there is
truly a safety hazard involved here and I think we have really come down to an alternative
the alternative being that it has to come down how are you going to go about doing it or is
it our responsibility to do it ourselves.
MR. TOOMEY-I haven't quite yet understood exactly if that is the Board's consensus as a whole
or what portions of it.
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-Well I'll speak for myself because that is the only person I can speak —
for. I would like to see all the structures removed, I'd like to see the steel beams and steel
girders removed and I would like to see it taken back to its natural state back to where you
can have a beach, picnic table, lawn area, and you can enjoy the lake that way.
COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-I'm afraid we will have to wait another three years.
SUPERVISOR BURGOS-Anyone else have any other questions? This is a very difficult question
we're concerned for your pocketbook and we're also concerned for health and safety. Imminent
threat to life and limb good question, I don't know, a potential yes, no question about it. I'm
not familiar with the concrete slab that your talking about certainly I would have no problem
with a piece of concrete staying there and filling in the back edge so there is no drop off that
personally is not a problem it's not visible it's off somewhere. I'm concerned about people
falling through that structure that's my real big problem.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Mr. Toomey, I'd like too and the Board suggest something that maybe
you can get the feeling and as you said you didn't come tonight with a plan but, I would presume
that there is enough people voting on this excluding Mrs. Monahan whose your neighbor who
would probably abstain from voting she has in the past so there are probably enough votes
here to force this issue. Maybe what we should do is give you two weeks to talk to some of
the Board members or a specific Board member and to comeback with some definite plan.
But, I would guess in two weeks without any that this Board would probably vote to have those
structures remove within a very timely period a week, two week, by you or by our own forces.
But, in all fairness and honesty to you if you haven't heard what Dave had to offer in terms
of how limited to what you can do on that site without going through a variance or Planning
Board on a whole set of plans maybe two weeks would give you enough time to at least give
some thought on where you want to go with this thing and give the Board. I can whole heartily
understand it there are some very serious costs involved in this one way or the other after
three years the Board ought to take a hard look at this and take a hard stance, but let's give
you a couple of weeks. I would like to at least if this is not in a form of a resolution move
to table it for a two weeks so that you can have a chance to think about it.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Our next regular meeting is September 10th, is that agreeable?
If I hear you correctly what you would like to do is perhaps you will meet with the Toomey's
and Dave Hatin, look at it and see what can reasonably be done and comeback on the tenth
and come up with a proposal of whether we should have some of it ripped out and some of
it left there.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Maybe Dave and I, and Kevin and Mr. Toomey can meet.
COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-Why wait three years to do it are you going to wait another three
years? .
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-No, we are going to wait until September 10th.
COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-We waited three years already and at the last minute. . .
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-I only suggested it, I'm only one guy on the Board.
COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-I'm getting tired of waiting.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Okay. Well then the next thing to do would be if you wanted to
take action tonight would be to move on this resolution.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-I think George perhaps it would be fair to the Toomey's. Dave
has presented some new facts to them tonight to give them a chance to mull this over whether
or not they want to try the variance route to talk to the Planning Department to see what
they really have to go through to do that stuff to give them that little time to think over their
options and decide if they really want to try that route or if they just say no, I'm going to forget
95
4
it and take it down.
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-Is that road a county road?
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-Yes.
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-So no matter what he does he would have to first go before the
county am I correct?
MR. HATIN-It would be part of the variance with a Site Plan Review Board he would have
to go to Warren Countt Planning Board.
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-All right. Didn't he at one point attempt to go before the county
and then it got too involved so he either withdrew or his proposal was voted down?
MR. HATIN-1 don't recall.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-One of the problems Lynn was that at one time a house was proposed
on that side the septic tank would have to go under the road and be on the other side which
was sort of a little complicated.
COUNCILMAN MONAHAN-We're not talking about the same apples and apples now.
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-So what your proposing is that he analyze his choices now and no
matter what he does he would first have to go before the county am I correct?
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-He would have to make a site plan review proposal to the Town
of Queensbury and pfobably also make a application to the Zoning Board of Appeals.
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-He would have to go before the county because it's a county road.
COUNCILMAN MONTESI-Yes.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-In any event if we give him until September 10th, he may comeback
with the option that they just tear it down and clean it up that's the other possibility.
COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-Okay.
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-I will certainly go along with my fellow Board members, but I think
three years has been ample time for these decisions to be made.
COUNCILMAN KUROSAKA-So do I, and Betty satisfied now.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-I agree. Normally that meeting would be September 3rd, but it is
Labor Day and we're not going to hold a meeting that night that I'm aware of. I'll ask our
Attorney, do we need a resolution at this point?
ATTORNEY DUSEK-Yes, I would recommend a resolution.
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-Can't we just table this?
ATTORNEY DUSEK-A resolution to table, but you would also want to as part of that resolution
to I think hold open the hearing until that next meeting.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-I don't know if a table is in order because we have no resolution on
the floor maybe just a resolution.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-Okay, then to at least hold open that hearing.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Do you want any of the language with it just hold open the hearing
you don't want any stipulation the meeting will take place and so forth?
ATTORNEY DUSEK-1 don't think you need to, it's in the record. I think if you just hold the
hearing open and then that way it allows you to finish up the business at the next meeting.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Okay. Do we have consensus of the Board that we will hold the hearing
open until September 10th. Will you return please on September 10th?
MR. TOOMEY-Yes.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-You and Mr. Hatin, Mr. Montesi, can meet before hand and take a
look perhaps you want Mr. Kurosaka to take a look to. Okay, we will hold this hearing open
96
until that time.
RESOLUTION TO CONTINUE HEARING ON TOOMEY PROPERTY
RESOLUTION NO. 4762 1990 Introduced by Mr. Ronald Montesi who moved for its adoption,
seconded by Mr. George Kurosaka:
WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury hereby wishes to continue the hearing
on the Toomey propertyAt the Town Board meeting of September 10, 1990.
Duly adopted this 20th day of August, 1990, by the following vote:
AYES: Mr. Kurosaka, Mrs. Potenza, Mr. Montesi, Mrs. Monahan, Mr. Borgos
NOES: None
ABSENT:None
UNSAFE STRUCTURE-MCDONALD 8:05 P.M.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Is anyone hear representing the McDonald's? Mr. Hatin, would you
once again come to the microphone. This has come before us numerous times.
DAVE HATIN, DIRECTOR OF BUILDING AND CODE ENFORCEMENT-Yes. Mrs. Doris Switzer
who is an heir to the estate was served by me personally last Wednesday, I believe there is
a Affidavit of Service. It was my understanding that she was going to be here tonight obviously
she is not. I took a ride by today and the house is still in the same condition it was when we
boarded it up and posted it and nothing has been done with it so I guess it would be at the
discretion of this Board. I obviously don't think any of the heirs to the estate has any intentions
of doing anything.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-What is your estimate of the cost to cleaning it up. . .
MR. HATIN-I haven't gotten any estimates on demolition yet I could get them for the Board
if you like.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Do you have any rough idea are we under $1000?
MR. HATIN-Mr. Naylor is here maybe he can estimate that for you. I would say, would you
estimate under $1000?
PAUL NAYLOR, SUPERINTENDENT OF HIGHWAY-Where are you talking about?
MR. HATIN-Corner of Central and Indiana Avenues.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-On this particular matter other than to take matters to make it safe
and everything the law does allow them thirty days from the date they receive the notice in
which to start clean up and then finish it within thirty days thereafter a total of 60 days.
I would recommend to the Board that you consider not ordering the demolition until that time
period expires.
COUNCILMAN POTENZA-So it has to be monitored for thirty days?
MR. HATIN-It's been over thirty days now hasn't it.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-Thirty days from the date of service of the notice.
MR. HATIN-From this meeting?
ATTORNEY DUSEK-You just served it five days ago.
MR. HATIN-But, what was the other one that we gave them thirty or sixty days to act and —
then nothing has happened with that, that's the way the previous resolution read, right?
ATTORNEY DUSEK-I thought that notice was never served and that was the problem and
then you served the notice of this hearing. So the first time you served the notice you have
to allow them thirty days from the day that they receive the notice in which to clean up.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-What type of resolution would you like now if any or do you think the
clock is going and we just wait?
r
9'�
ATTORNEY DUSEK-I think you afforded the opportunity for the hearing as required by law
and you just count out thirty days from the day of service. Shortly after that, I would
recommend that Mr. Hatin come back before the Board and give the,-Board a report and if
there has been no action the Board could then authorize a demolition,
MR. HATIN-I will in the meantime get three estimates for the Board also.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Thank you. Please check on the date of service and if you could do
it in time for the next meeting if the thirty days will have been meet by the next meeting,
please let us know. Thank you.
I
PUBLIC HEARING-LOCAL LAW OPENED 810 P.M.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-I'll ask the Clerk is this has been advertised?
TOWN CLERK-Yes, it has.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Thank you very much: Is there anyone here who wishes to address
us with questions or speak in favor or opposed to this piece of legislation? One of the most
critical aspects is that we will finally have something that will be able to permit our Fire
Marshall and Deputy Fire -Marshall to give out summonses, violation notices to people who
park in fire lanes. We've taken care of handicap parking now were going to clean up the fire
lane problem among other things. The Board has discussed this previously does anyone have
any questions about this? Any other comments from anyone?
DAVE HATIN, DIRECTOR OF BUILDING AND CODE ENFORCEMENT-Just one thing that
I've discussed with the Attorney we kind of like too make an amendment to this law and I'd
like to get the Board's feelings on this now even though we will propose it later and hopefully
adopt what we have before us tonight. One thing that I found out and did some research and
I think, Paul is finally going to agree with me is that there maybe power for my Inspectors
as well as myself to write tickets for the fire lane and for the Fire Marshall to write handicap
parking tickets and we like to address this at some point with the Board. We feel it's kind
of ludicrous for us to write a handicap parking ticket and see the fire lane violation and not
be able to do anything about it and vice versa.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-We've all agreed with that for some period to time to have more people
out there.
MR. HATIN-So the consensus of the Board is that we should bring something back?
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Sure. But, that would not impact on what's before us tonight.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-The only thing is that 1 would reserve the rights to continue to review
that it's not a clear area of the law. Unfortunately where we are right now is the most
conservative route which will authorize Building and Codes to do the handicap and the Fire
Marshall to do the fire lanes. Dave has given me some additional information which I'm taking,
a look at and I'm just taking a look to see if I can justify another step over, to issue both types
of tickets
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Thank you.

HEARING DEMARS UNSAFE STRUCTURE 8:40 P.M.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Mr. Hatin, will you bring us up to date on what this is and then we
will ask you some questions and see where we can go.
MR. HATIN-This matter has been discussed via Karla Corpus representing my Department
and an Attorney representing the Alden's, I believe your Attorney Mr. Matusik. I haven't been
involved in it and I talked to Karla very briefly today about it and I assumed that it was on
for tonight's meeting that's when we got into discussion and we found out that it should have
been. This is the property where I guess a trailer fire occurred some years ago.
MR. ALDEN-It wasn't a trailer it was a house.
MR. HATIN-It was a house it look like the remains of a trailer when I saw it. The remains
were still there, there was a camper there that has been since removed a motorcycle which
I believe is still there, there was another junk vehicle that has since been removed. But, some
of the remains that we requested to this Board approximately two years to be removed are
still there. Apparently through the sale of this land they are also trying to work out a deal
where in with the purchase there would be the agreement to clean up the property by the
purchasers, I think that is why Mr. Alden is here tonight.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Now this is the piece of property I believe, Paul I gave you some
information some letters had come in where apparently a sale has taken place and there were
some deposit checks we got photocopies of, is that correct?
ATTORNEY DUSEK-This is the property.
MR. HATIN-I have that letter here also Steve.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-What is the status of the property now who owns the property?
r
99
MR. ALDEN-Do`we own it? '
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Is it still owned by the estate?
MR. ALDEN-Apparently.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-Because this is very legal we will ask the man who will have to appear
in court someday maybe to ask some very specific questions.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-The first question is, is there anybody here on behalf of the current property
owners?
MR. ALDEN-Mrs. Hall was suppose to have been here, but she is not here.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-Are you aware of the fact that the Town has served a notice concerning
this property?
MR. ALDEN-I have tried to contact you people up here. I have tried to contact Karla Corpus
in the past and to obtain a little bit of a time to clean the property up.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-Is it your intention to clean the property up once you buy it?
MR. ALDEN-Definitly, we are buying it.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-When do you estimate the closing date will occur?
MR. ALDEN-Whenever the lawyers get done with it.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-They haven't told you when they think it will be?
MR. ALDEN-They didn't give us a specific date.
ATTORNEY DUSEK-Are you talking a week, a month?
MRS. ALDEN-A couple of weeks. The Board may wish I don't know how bad the property is
at the moment. The Board may wish to put the hearing off until the ownership is cleared up.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-What's the feeling of the Board? What if we put it off until the second
meeting in September which will be September 17th. On or before that time preferably before
that time let Mr. Hatin know as soon as you buy the property and then we will work out some
kind of an arrangement.
MR. ALDEN-We're waiting too.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-So your anxious to buy it and clean it up?
MR. ALDEN-Oh yeah.
SUPERVISOR BORGOS-If you will contact Mr. Hatin as soon as any of these steps take place
we would appreciate that. He can keep us informed, but we may want to see you back here
on September 17th, so we can figure out what has to be done. It looks like its on the way to
taking care of itself. Does the Board agree with that recommendation?
Consenus of Board to agree.
