OPENED: 7: 37 P.M. -Mrs; Hamilton Hoffman-Signs of Progress-read. -a- pages of recommendations he would like to see changed in the proposed: o dinance and upon finishing the list was turned over to J. Arthur Norton, Chairman of the Planning Board for' hs consideration. -Mr. M. Brody-Royal Travel Agency- opposed to the proposed ordinance noting a financial loss in his business-;extr - ,y~limited° in the size of the signs he could place because of the size 'of his building. . . -Mary Grey-League of Women Voters- The G1ens. Falls Area League of Women Voters has consistently favored the passage of a new sign ordinance for the Town of Queensbury. This evening we would like to mention several specific sections of the proposed ordin- ance which we support. Referring to the addenda on the back page of the copies of the sign ordin- ance, in section 17 we are in favor of (a) , which states : No new advertising i i r panels shall be constructed. The League would like to see a provision . included which would call for phasing out all outdoor advertising panels at the end of five years. However, if section 17 C is to be kept, we feel that defining the terms "dontin"d" and.;"maintained' more explicitly would allow the advertising,panels-,.toAbs °gratdually removed through attrition. On this .sane,ssbject, the League supports Page 14, Sec. E .concerning off-pre-,; mises d reattoial signal, feeling ,that Ltheset will serve one of the purposes presently-.fulfilled 'by 'outdoor advert taing `panels: On page 121, Sddtt6n B2, which.reads',"v,, the >svtrface area 'of tigns attached to any•-buildtng sh9ll.'ndt`�exeeed"1@ -of the av4a of tke wall to which, sign is attacthed, 4ti,100'-Gq� id like to ` feett, wh a hee�lr is°Less,!' ttteA�ea�gue �rott endorse particularly the phrase "whichevdt is-Bless" 'In� ,eMw -view this guarantees 'a-°eiguJ of-sufficient, sins f *hile at 4the same, the eerryfing -out one purpose- of the ordinance whie:h° 1s `to enhance fth*",O ysicsl appearance of the c6mmunitry.

Also noted that warner Pruyn has brought in a sizabU amount of business to Queensbuty noting sales tax fi s; eared town and county taxes. . . Mr. Carl DeSantis- STATEMENT TO QUEENSBURY TOWN BOARD Town of Queensbury Made-by-Carl R� DeSentis, ...President, Aviation Road Development-Corporation. March 9, 1976 The proposed, sign ordinance would have- the effect of forcing the removal of many signs and reducing the size of many others. No . . j distinctions are made for business catering primarily to travelers using the nerthway. This will create'a hardship acct only to the _.'but .also ,ta fi the eve ears :arid to the tort itself. There are no services aside from rest rooms on the interstate .system • and none planned for the future that I know of. Travelers seeking food, lodgingn�-Sasoline;- general retail merchandise must leave the interstate ,;Wen ,t6 fine° t se ,sides. The small, and .ai�e st invisibly- s gns.tuch as proposed by,this .ordinanos could cause accidents as a result of the travelers delayed recognition of a facility, which would not allow for adequate time for them• to slow down and•leave, t:he travel lane-�to attempt to reach the. facility-by the access 1ane. A good example of adequate size signing for the convenience of the traveler are , the signs put up by the State-mall in advance of an exit and identifying the exit at the ramp. Theses are large Fa6bugh to 'give the traveler time to react. , I also feel that the prapdoe setbacks of any sign further than 15-ft: from .a . property line or right-of-way would compound the visibility factor. Presently, the State has no provision for trade name informational signing in advance of exits such as the States of Vermont, Virginia and others. Many travelers will not leave a limited access high- way unless they are sure that they will be abie- to >purehase` the .brand of gasoline for;,vhich 'they have a credit card, dine- at a chain restaurant whose name they know or sleep in a name motel. The lack of adequate signing would thus cause the traveler -to go to another facility in another 'town or county which would cause a loss of rev-enue to the town by virtue of the fact that the sales tax generated by this business would go elsewhere. In the case of :my own businesses which are restaurants, 75% .Af.'the income is generated from travelers,, and b*11boards and .identification signs are the medium that informs these people. Billboards along the interstate highways are .ptesently regulated by Federal Law, and 'havebeen .recognised as a necessary and important tool for informing the travelling public of the services :and facilities ahead. This Law requires them to be at least 660 ft. off of the interstate right-of-way which has .effectively kdpt the landscape from becoming-over-crowdedvith miscellaneous •:�fneffectual and'unplea sane-, looking billboards. I_woulds urge that the 'Boardxtrake recognition of this fact, and for the ,good=of the business;.c o nity andr the town, allow to remain those .billboards which:-ara v'.sible., from the .northway . . and which-oomply with tthe Federal Lau. Also, one of the-greatest dangers while driving• on a limited access highway is driver fatigue. Trees, mountains and sky are fine but in driving hundreds of miles an-occasional informational billboard can greatly relieve-the fatigue. I do :not :think anyone hers can quarrel with the. fact that interstate ' 87 has helped tb. develop -the `Town of `Queensbury commercially. Catering to the travelling public is,:a fact of life and asset to this town and should be encouraged, along ,with the rest of the growth trhgt we have enjoyed. Consequently, I would propose that at the very-least the pro- posed ordinance should be amended to exempt a corridor along the Adirondack northway, interstate 87, which would''include' all 'businesses having footage on -the northway and those within 1000 ft. of an .exit ramp. - Even if complete exemption is not granted, the need for larger signs along such a corridor thhn those generally permitted by the ordinance should be recognized. Finally, the five-year depreciation time is unreaoe$ble and will create a financial hardship on the business community and *Ay also be .illegal. ShatUtt-he courts hold the town responsible the cost to the taxpayers of Queensbury could amount to hundreds of-thousands of dollars. J. Arthur Norton-noted that in the addendum the->sighs along the northway have been exempted, no provisions for new signs along the northway. Don .Krebs Imperial Furnature-disagreed with the size of signs that can be put up. . . Mr. Noonan-Qsby. Motors- noted business hardship and the expense of new signs for his business. . . Mr. Zibro-Zibro Tires-noted economic hardship and loss of business;. . conl.d not afford the sign right off in five years. . . Mr. Campbell, Counsel-Adirondack Media-wished to thank the board for their open mindedness in listening to the ideas of the advertising media. . . Ms. Margaret Henderson-Sheraton Inn- noted economic .hardkUp is her sign could not be seen from the Nvrthway-because of the location of the business. . Ms. Carol West-spoke as a resident of Queensbury-does not view Qsby. as attractive. . .buildings are -being built around signs. .Thoted that if all business had small signs there would be no one haveing more than the other. . Ms. Martindale-commenting on Mrs. West remarks viewed that may be some houses if they weft required to be painted would make the community more -42tractive. . .it was not only signs. . . Mr. Bodertweiser-Motel Owner- noted that a lot of time has been spent on this. . .getting rid of some signs will enhance the community. e J, Arthur Norton- noted that there has ,been some recent input from A.P.A. and Division of Community Affairs- their recommendations will be considered. . ,.,., ..
