Dear Ms., Daigle:
1 am writing you with regards to my review of the above-referenced project and; to
document the recent telephone conversation we had earlier this week.
Upon my review 1 find that your proposal will require an Area Variance prior to the
commencement of the project, Specifically, an Area Variance is required as.your plann,
offers the construction of an extra garage on the property as well as an oversized
accessory structure. The Town Zoning Cade allows for one ga age up to 2,200 sf for
our parol as it is in excess of 5 acres and up to 3 accessory structures that can total no
more than 750 sf Your current proposal calls for what appears to be .a garage that would
Constitute at lust a 40' garage building, by definition, and an attached accessory structure
that would bring the Natal square footage of such structures on the property to be: in.
excess of the 750 sf maximum allowed.,
This letter serves as the required denial letter for the processing of your application
package.
Should you have any q,uestions or comments regarding your applications, please do not
hesitate to contact this office.

To the Zoning Board:
I am writing this letter to give a clearer picture of our fann, in Harrisena, a very historical Hamlett in
Queensbury, linherited this farm two years ago,but before now it has had a rich and varied history.
This farm was an important stop for many,decades for tourists traveling along what is now known as
Ridge Road. It was called The Mountain Lest Farm. The current,10cation of the house for the farm is
actually the second family home.
The first was, located on the back acreage I.along a route no,w called
the Adirondack Preserve Road. It burned down, and the family home was rebuilt along Ridge Road,
where it is located now, with the barns being constructed,on the opposite side of the roa(or
Mountainside, as the family referred to it.). They not only sold farm products, but also operated as a
traveler's inn, providing feed for the horses, and meals and rooms, dc.
In the, 1970's a good portion of the back acreage was purchased through.Eminent Domain,to help
create the Dunham Is,Bay Watmbed, Other Portions were removed from the farm to build houses f
farnil'y members. These parcels now border what remains of harvestin Or
parcel is now landlocked, and is only used for bay and corn. g fields for the farms. This back
StanleY'Miller Inarried Helen Stevenson in 'die early 1940's after returning from naval service in World
War H. He had come from a family, in Dolgeville, NY, who had a history richin farrning. He became
an integral Part Of this farm. Upon,the death of his father-in-lave shortly after his Inarriage,he assurned,
the majOritY Of theresponsibility of the daily duties of said fine. This continued until he could no
longerfarm, This was,due in part to age, but also to the loss of his inain grazing,pasture to another,
instance of En unent Domain by the State of NY.
He always wanted to,keep the use of his land to be agriculturally based He allowed a few c-ows to be
pastured On, the Mountainside portion of the farm for a brief periodf e bef r pa ,h lack
acreage was also reclairried for hay and corn production. 0 tim' 0che passed. The bac
The barns on the property all need work to be safe and usable. As of Ns week (10/7/16), one of the
barns will be removed. We will continue to give some much needed attention to the other barns so that
they may be used, for hay storage, etc. At this point in time our hay is being stored off site. This will
change when the current barns are inn better,shape. Farm machmery is much more expensive now than
it was years ago,,, and we store our machinery inside. The new BARN will house the machinery safely
frorn field pests, etc.. Unfortunately the reason we are now befdre you, is due to the regrettable loss in.
the zoning language in the Town of Queensbury for agricultural buildings. Yes, out building is larger
than a garage, but it will house mainly farm machinery, and a,work area for avariety Of tasks,, It was
necessary to label it a garage because of the language provided in flle building permit application. We
hope by explained sOnl,e Of the history of this farm, it will help us in our process with our application.
Thank, youfor your time and consideration,
Lisa A. Daigle
