Dear Mr. Coughtry:
This Department has received a complaint regarding a structure that is being built on a trailer on your
property at 32 Brayton Road.
This letter is to advise you that you may be violating the Town of Queensbury Zoning Ordinance as
well as the Town of Queensbury Mobile Home Ordinance by constructing this structure on your
property.
I'm asking that you contact me at [518] 761-8253 upon receipt of this Ietter so we can discuss what
your intentions are with this structure being built on the trailer at 32 Brayton Road.
Failure to contact this office would result in a court summons being issued for a violation of doing
construction on the property without proper permits and violation of the Zoning Ordinance as well
as the Mobile Home Ordinance.
Please contact me upon receipt of this letter. Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
Sincerely,
e 1 4
