Queensbury Town Board July 16, 1970 Town Office Bay Road Glens Falls, New York Mr. Chairman; �-- In our South Queensbury fire district we have come across a very serious and hazardous condition, It seems that where our firehouse is located that motorists do not see our stop light. Many times in the past our fire equipment has been in danger of being involved in an accident as we enter the highway from the firehouse. What we would like to suggest is that the town place another light at the corner of Park Ave. and Dix Ave. which is one block to the east. We feel that if a stop light were present there it would be a safety factor to the firemean and also to motorists. If this matter could be brought up at the next town board meet- ing and investigated by the board members I am sure that they will be in agreement with us. Sincerely, f The Police Report for July was placed on record. Supervisor Solomon opened the meeting to the public. Mr. Clifford Witham asked that Councilman Hammond Robertson Jr. abstain from the vote on Ski and Shore because, in his opinion, there was a conflict of interest. Dr. Lester C. Huested, who has spoken at length at previous hearings and meetings , sum- marized the arguments for protecting the residential area, the Warren County complex and the town watershed. He mentioned that water is now being taken directly from Rush Pond because the wells are not producing a sufficient supply. Lyn Chase suggested that shortages of water was caused by condnous breaking of mains on Aviation Road and as for pollution the only contaminators of Glen Lake are the residents of Glen Lake. Mrs. Margaret Doty spoke on the Hercules request for rezoning, predicting that even though the company had agreed to move its tanks , the rezoning would be "a blank check" for the future. The meeting was closed to the public. Councilman Robertson said he had been advised that there was no legal conflict of interest. Attorney Harold Katz said that under the present interpretation of the existing code of ethics within the State of New York and the model code there is no conflict of in- L terest and there is no reason for you not to vote on the subject. Councilman Robertson stated his reason for voting no on the re- scission of Ordinance 79-1970 which zoned Ski and Shore property commercial. He said the challenge should be to control the aesthe- tics of commercialism not to deny commercialism in the town. He said if pollution is the problem, I feel that any development whether it be residential or commercial is going to contribute to pollution. If this is the case, you are saying that we should never develop this area and this theory I can not subscribe to because I do not believe that we can limit any place to non-development unless the Government itself wishes to take it over. This idea has been re- 488 jected so far. There was a point made that the Town Board acted in haste on this situation. I do not agree with that as quite a time had lapsed since the property was purchased and zoned. There was a point made that the Northway is a natural barrier between residential and commercial areas. I feel that any major artery whether it be the Northway, Route 9, Quaker Road, or any where else it may go will ultimately generate commercial traffic so the challenge is to control the aesthetics of commercialism. In my opinion the best use of this land is to let it develop commercially. Supervisor Solomon explained why he too was voting no on the rescission. He said he was the budget officer for this town and the administrator of the government and it was his job to see that the tax structure is kept within balance. He proceeded to forecast some of the demands that will be made for increasing police, highway and water department services as well as the looming cost of sewerage in the town. We have an obligation to all the people of the town to pay for these things. He said pressing budget matters had been delayed as a result of the zoning controversy. The town must have commercial development to increase its tax base to pay for services that may soon be mandated. Councilman Demboski said we are not blind fig the need for services that people of the town ask for. He said/recognized the obliga- tion to provide for commercial development but argued for keeping the pattern that has developed with the Northway providing a barrier between residential and commercial uses. Councilman Robillard said he agreed with Councilman Demboski' s thinking. Councilman Austin said he felt a very tragic mistake was made by the County Board of Supervisors when the property was sold. The site he said is ideal for a civic-municipal area. Recalling discussions on the board when the zoning was first considered, he said there had been a great deal of hesitation as to how to proceed but on the basis of the Town Planning Board ' s recommenda- tions and the lack of objections at the first public hearing we compounded the tragic mistake made by the Board of Supervisors. He said he hoped that some kind of municipal development would be located there. RESOLUTION No. 198 to rescind Resolution No. 79 zoning the Ski and Shore property commercial is not available at this time but will be forth coming from Attorney Harold Katz. The voting on Resolution No. 198 is as follows. Resolution 198 will be found -on page Ayes : Mr. Demboski, Mr. Austin, Mr. Robillard 491. Noes : Mr. Robertson and Mr. Solomon Attorney Katz explained that Resolution No. 198 failed since it needed four affirmative votes and the commercial zoning still stays in effect., Attorney Louis Carusone was given the floor. He took issue with the town attorney' s opinion. He said when the Town Board turned the matter over to the County Planning Board you gave them juris- diction. Supervisor Solomon asked Mr. Carusone to put his remarks in writing. Councilman Austin introduced Resolution No. 199 to rezone the Ski and Shore parcel R-3 residential.

HERCULES INCORPORATED Glens Falls, N.Y. August 27 , 1970 Mr. Gerald Solomon, Supervisor Town of Queensbury Queensbury Town Office Building Bay at Haviland Roads Glens Falls, New York 12801 Dear Mr. Solomon: Amending the map with regard to our re-zoning request for a parcel of land from C-1 to M-2 , we will re-locate the oil tanks southerly so that they will be located on the corner of River Street and Quaker Road rather than the corner of the Boulevard and Quaker Road. I have included a map on the proposed new location. Sincerely, C. G. Polzer CGP•dgh Director of Operations Encl. Councilman Austin suggested that since Hercules had agreed to locate its oil storage tanks and other new facilities on the River Street side, away from the Boulevard , the application could be amended to rezone only that portion of the property leaving a commercial strip along the Boule- vard as a buffer. He suggested tabling the matter if the other members agreed. Supervisor Solomon said he could not see delaying the matter any longer. Mr. Austin said he was not trying to stall matters but felt strongly about the need to retain a commercial barrier. No one else supported Mr. Austin and Resolution No. 202 to zone the Hercules property M-2 from C-1 is not available at this time but will be forth coming from Attorney Harold Katz. The voting on this Resolu- tion was as follows : Resolution 202 will be found on page 492B . Ayes : Mr. Demboski, Mr. Robillard , Mr. Robertson and Mr. Solomon Noes: Mr. Austin The following letter was read by the Supervisor: JOSEPH A. KESTNER, JR. Consulting Enginner One Kestner Lane, Troy, New York August 21, 1970 490 Mr. Gerald B. Solomon, Supv. Town of Queensbury Bay at Haviland Road, R.D. 1 Glens Falls, New York 12801 Town of Queensbury - Well Water Supply Dear Mr. Solomon: I have reviewed the well water supply problem which has become critical due to lawn sprinkling during the prolonged dry spell and the reduction of the well yields to about one-half of their normal output. At the present moment , a Civilian Defense filtration and pumping system is being used to supplement the supply by about 300 gpm in order to maintain a minimal quantity of water for fire protection purposes. The reduction in well yield may be due either to clogging of the formation by mineral matter or the drawing of fine sand material during heavy pumping which plugs the aquafer and reduces the well yield. It is important to take immediate action on this problem, as any further reduction in well yield would greatly impair the Town water supply. I would suggest that the R.E. Chapman Company be contacted immediately to install some well points in the vicinity of Well No. 1 (the large well in the pump house) , so that we can determine the water drawdown in the formation at varying distances from the well, and if feasible, experiment with chemical feeding of the water table in an effort to clean the formation and restore the well yield. If such proce- dures are successful on Well No. 1, they could also be applied --� to Wells No. 3 and 4. If these procedures are not successful, perhaps we could take Well No. 1. out of service long enough to remove the pump and clean and surge the well. The total cost of the well points and chemical feed system would be $5 ,000 to $6,000. The cleaning of the well would be in addition to this amount and would depend on the time re- quired to remove the pump and due the necessary surging and developing. I recommend- that this work be performed on an emergency basis. Sincerely, Joseph A. Kestner, Jr. Consulting Engineer CC : Mr. Thomas K. Flaherty, Water Supt. Resolution No. 203 to take emergency steps on the Well Water Supply is not available at this time but will be forth coming from Attorney Harold Katz. Resolution No. 203 will be found on page 492C RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE ATTENDANCE AT MEETING RESOLUTION No. 204, introduced by Mr. Demboski, who moved its adoption, seconed by Mr. Robertson.
