PLANNING BOARD of the TOWN OF QUEENSBURY Report of The Town Planning Board of the Town of Queensbury, Warren County,­lNew York, Acting as the -Town Zoning Commission To The Town Board of the Town of ,Queensbury: — Pursuant to Article 16 of the Town Law of the State of New York, the undersigned members of the Town planning Board of the Town of Queensbury, acting as the Town Zoning Commission, submit to ,the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury the following final report recommending the adoption of a zoning ordinance for the Town of Queensbury, the boundaries of the proposed districts and zones and the appropriate regulations which we ,recommend be enforced therein. The Town Planning Board was established by Resolution No. 161 adopted by the Town Board on October 11, 1962, consisting of seven members -as provided by Section 271 -of the Town Law. , By resolution No. 54 adopted by the Town Board on February -24, 1.966, the Town Planning Board was designated and appointed as the Zoning Commission of the Town of Queensbury pursuant to section 266 of the Town Law. ° , The task of proparing a plan of zoning for the Town of Queensbury has been a formidable one. First of all, the area of the town is lame and not compact. The Town of Queensbury has enjoyed a phenomenal growth in recent years and this growth has established trends which we have considered in our planning. The construction of the Northway and Quaker Road have resulted in traffic problems which have also been considered. Except __- for business development along Quaker Road, industry is concentrated on the bank of the Hudson River in the southeasterly end of the town. The establishment of the residential areas in the Lake George Park have established generally the zoning pattern for the end of town. 30 One principle problem has been the undeveloped area in the center of the town, It has been our aim to control this area under zoning with future changes to be made as trends develop. We have met most of our opposition in this respect. We acknowledge the valuable assistance given to us by Candeub, Fleissing and associates, our consultants. Wg held a preliminary public hearing on our proposed may and plan at the auditorium^of,the Queensbury Junior.aHigb,School, on July 27th, 1966, with a large 4ttend4nce. <The,questions asked and comments made by persons who attended that hearing indicated to us that there is a-real interest in zoning in the Town of. Queensbury. As a result of the first publiq hearing+.-certain.-changes were considered and a second public hearing was held at the Queensbury - ,Junior High School -on,Oct . 26th, 1966. The members-of'a group , known as the Committee Against Extremism In Zoning-vas quite vocal but all comments criticisms and suggestions were duly noted and considered, ;. We-have-the honor now to present to- the Town-Board-for its -- consideration the final zoning map approved by us together with recommended zoning standards for the Town of Queensbury.
