Arthur Norton, Chairman Planning Board Lo Town of Queensbury r.4 Town Office Building Cq Bay Road Glens Falls, New York 12801 Dear Art: We have gone over with some care theT;proposed land use regulations and I am not sure I have sufficient vocabulary to express our objections to this document. There are two ojections immediately. The plan seems to have been borrowed from N.Y. ' City. Con we use an urban plan in a rural area? The plan indicates an emergency situation in which subdivision abuse is rampant. We do not believe this is the case. Let me list some specific objections : The plan would add tremendous cost to the home buyer. We are forcing more and more of our young people into trailer parks. Is this good planning? We wonder if the town has made a long-term economic ' study to determine the per lot cost that would result from this proposed land use regulation. We estimate $2,000 by 1980. The increase in cost and the arbitrary power invested in the Town Engineer will discourage developments and encourage ran- dom building. Random building will place greater burden on the town in terms of fire and police protection, water and other services. The power invested in the Town Engineer would require his living on the prVeeti ad0, development is to be done. And, is the Town Engineer really qualified to make decisions "determining fragile natural and ecological characteristics" of land? What about appeal procedures? Curbs and walks are expensive, ugly and usually not de- sired by developer or customer. 'Agains, it turns a rural area into an urban one. There are no provisions for innovative developments . The regulation on parks makes no sense in this area. You are discouraging developers from putting in parks at all. The park regulations are costly and not in tune with other parts of the plan, protecting the ecological resources of the area. We find Section 7-D very difficult. If you will re-read Section 7F, you will see that even digging a hole for a foundation will be next to impossible.
