My current plan is to work over the next several months to finalize building plans then submit for a building permit and plan construction for the fall of 2016. I have not made any substantive changes to the design goals in the original variance request. I am still planning on building my personal year round residence in Queensbury. I apologize,to the boards,for this late request. I had thought I just had stop by town hall and renew the variance and I did not realize that the board would have examine my request.
