This use, the original use of this property was granted by Use Variance No. 82-1990, allowing the applicant to manufacture boat trailers. I believe the applicant has demonstrated that a reasonable return cannot be achieved due to the current set up of. his spray booth operation, which limits his hours of doing business, and does have an impact on the quality control and number of units that he can manufacture. By allowing this addition, it would, allow him to construct a higher quality spraybooth, conforming with all the environmental concerns that might be associated with a spraybooth. It would allow him to operate a smoother operation. This situation is unique because this use is allowed by variance. By the granting of this relief, we will not be altering the essential character of the neighborhood, and again, this hardship has been self-created, but again mitigated by the PLEASE READ THE BACK OF -MIS FORM -thank You yam MVz AWN nmX D v S mom �0D z <vv �Xn a D 1 iXD m�z OCz c my� ZED Wn'U W i Mz {DO rM D IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING TABLING PROCEDURE RESOLUTION r4 At the February 17, 1993 the Queensbury Zoning Board of Appeals made a ° MOTION THAT WHEN THE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS TABLES AN APPLICATION, THAT THE APPLICANT HAS SIXTY (60) DAYS TO COME BACK WITH THE APPLICATION.
