The following letter was read by the Clerk

February 13, 1974
Mr. John Austin, Supervisor
Town of Queensbury
Bay at Haviland Roads

i
Dear Mr. Austin:
In concern with your letter dated January 29, 1974, you
quote us several questions regarding the acquisition of the Dunham' s
Bay Wetland. Most of the answers could by considered firm, but
until the land is actually purchased and we know the buildings and
improvements involved, it would be quite impossible to answer
conclusively.
The number one question is : How will the State make up
for tax loss to the Town and County on this territory?
At present, we are quite unfamiliar with the tax structure
of both Town and County. However, as a general principle, the State
does pay taxes on Forest Preserve type lands at normally the same
assessment and rate as similar type adjoining property. To be
specific to the question, it would be impossible at this point to say
the State would absorb all the taxes in the Dunham' s Bay area, as we
have yet to purchase any properties and do not know the extent of
each purchase on an individual basis .
The second question is: What are the long range plans for
use of this land?
I
At present, there are no specific plans for the Dunham' s
Bay Wetland agreeing that the purchase is mainly for the preservation
of the wetland. We might speculate that a few nature trails be
recommended, and it would be reasonable to think that canoes and
rowboats could be used in the area. Nature study groups do, at present,
frequent the area. There are no plans to construct campsites or boat
launching sites on Dunham' s Bay Wetlands .
The third question is; Why is it necessary to expand the
project from its original limits up to the highways , when development
within the region is now so severely restricted by the Adirondack
Park Agency law?
The initial efforts in the acquisition of Dunham' s Bay
Wetland was prognostic in the character some two years ago. At that time
many of the Adirondack Park Agency' s restrictions had not been
enacted. This could also be true with some of the local zoning
ordinances . It would seem that the entire take line as it now stands
would be only appropriate without the integrity of the marsh being
affected, possibly:: to quite some degree. It could be said that even
with the Park Agency' s restrictions and local zoning ordinances now
in effect, that the future and security of Dunham' s Bay Wetland is
not necessarily insured.
The fourth question is: If the property is obtained by the
State, will the permitted development intensities under the Adirondack
Park Agency law be applied against the entire region or only against
the limited acreage remaining after State takeover?
Within the Park Agency's rules and regulations are divided
interest between private and State ownership. Forest Preserve land,
in most instances , conforms with Article Fourteen of the Constitution
of New York State, changed only by a referendum passed by the people
of the State of New York. Presuming you are projecting private land
interests predominately in your question, this area shall be governed
by the Agency' s Private Land Use Plan and, of course, your local
zoning laws. Answers to the Private Land Use Plan should be available
from the Adirondack Park Agency office at Ray Brook.
47
The fifth question is : Must the Department of Environmental
Conservation get approval from the Adirondack Park Agency for this
project?
Any proposals for the acquisition of property do not have to be
approved by the Adirondack Park Agency. At any rate, there are
several reviews made through high State positions , with the final.-.:
acquisition papers signed by the Commissioner of Environmental
Conservation.
The sixth question is : What notice can the Town expect as
to this proposed change in its assessment base?
The answer to this question is relevant to the first
question and answer. The due process of acquisition of most properties
requires at least six months , and sometimes reflects a year or more.
Until the final processing of all properties involved is implemented,
the change in all of the assessments could not be mandated or make known.
The seventh question is : Are any improvements other than
the following proposed to be taken?
In addition to the list given you at the informal meeting
January 16, 1974, is the property within the proposed take line of
Robert Ellsworth. Also the buildings on the Phillip Bordeau property
on Pickle Hill Road. The proposed asquisition from the Nature
Conservancy includes an "A" frame on the former Dean Howland property.
The structure or dwelling on the Florence McConville property is
within the proposed take line. A small boathouse and five docks
presumably belong to Benjamin Aronson. At present, as the proposed
take line now stands , these are the improvements that will probably
be taken.
Question number eight asked for a proposed take line map of
the Dunham' s Bay Wetland.
For the present moment, we hesitate to relinquish a total take
line map of the Dunham' s Bay Wetland asquisition to the public. If, by
chance, the map should get indiscriminately passed on to anyone, and it
should appear at public meetings or be placed on display without a
Department representative being present , there are many things that might be
misconstrued, or misleading, or misinterpreted.
We do have a total take line map set up at the Warrensburg
Office which interested persons are welcome to review, and I am sure
the map and a Department representative can be made available for Vou at
specific meetings providing prior appropriate notice has been received.
Attached is a list of questions brought forth from the
informal meeting of January 16, 1974, at the Queensbury Town Office
Building, and a short general discussion.
Perhaps this letter, together with the question and answer sheets
will suffice and lessen the burden of public answers for you.
Very truly yours
