Donald Branshaw - Resident, of Glen Acres Subdivision
William Richardson - Resident of Glen Acres Subdivision
Daniel Olson - Resident of Glen Acres Subdivision
Bernard J. Codner - Superintendent of Highways
Mr. William Richardson was granted the floor.. Mr. Richardson
spoke at length to do with the possible problem of a section
of town owned highway being opened to traffic at a later :date
in the Glen Acres Subdivision. request was advanced that the
Town of Queensbury should or could deed the present section of
roadway to individuals who border on same.
Supervisor Webster discussed the present status of the roadway
in question. The section of roadway has been blocked off at
present by the Highway Department of the Town of Queensbury.
Daniel Olson and Donald Branshaw both voiced a similiar opinion
as to the future handling of this section of highway.
Minutes of the Planning Board of August 2, 1967 were received
and placed on file.
The following statement was made by the Supervisor:
I think I should advise the Board that I have carried out initial
discussions with persons associated with the apartment house
project recently turned down by the city government. These
people apparently still want to locate in this area, and have
received assurance from us that we will cooperate in every
proper way in locating the project in Queensbury.
I'm sure we have a number of areas in the town where this project
will be most welcome.
It is difficult to understand the position of the city government,
when they will institute a bitter and expensive annexation pro-
ceeding against the Town of Queensbury on -the _basia that they
need more room and a larger assessment base, and then in a matter of
weeks determine that present vacant land in the city should not be
developed.
