A PET IT ION TO THE TOWN BOARD OF THE TOWN OF QUEENSBURY, WARREN COUNTY, NEW YORK PURSUNAT VV ARTICLE 13-C of GENERAL MUNICIPAL LAW We, the undersigned hereby petition the Town B94rd of the Town of Queensbury, Warren County, New York, to establish by ordinance a residential area within the Lake George Park in the area 'which is described as follows: Beginning on the westerly shore of Warner Bay at the northeasterly corner of lands of F. Rae Suprenant, running from thence in a westerly direction along the northerly bounds thereof to the northwesterly corner thereof; 48 running from thence southwesterly to a point on the southerly bounds of lands conveyed by Alice West to Leander and Sally Dickinson in 1953, said point being at the intersection of the said southerly bounds of Dickinson with a straight line drawn northerly from the northeasterly corner of lands of Charles and Betty Smith through the northwesterly corner of lands of Robert R. LaPan; running from thence southerly in a straight line, passing through the northwesterly corner of the said lands of Robert R. LaPan and continuing to the north- easterly .corner of the lands of the said Charles -and Betty Smith; thence running westerly along the northerly bounds .of the said lands of Charles and Betty Smith 234.66 feet to the northwesterly corner thereof; thence running southerly along the westerly bounds of the said lands of Charles and Betty Smith to the northeasterly corner of lands of Waldo and Ruth Ross; thence running westerly along the northerly bounds of the said lands of WaldQ and Ruth Ross and along the northerly bounds of lands of one Hill to the center of Cleverdale Road; thence running in a straight line in a_ southwesterly direction to a point where the northeasterly or easterly bounds of the lands of Clifford Witham intersects the shore of Lake George;. thence running northerly, easterly and southerly, following the shore of Lake George around Cleverdale and Rockhurst to the point of beginning. That the undersigned petitioners seek to prohibit the use of all property within the above described area for all industrial and commercial purposes, except that an owner of real property ,in the above described area may engage in the business of renting or leasing buildings for single, private residential purposes$ and furnish services incidental thereto, provided that such incidental services shall not include the furnishing of food. This petition shall be known as Cleverdale Petition and is to be executed in twenty parts and all parts are identical. The minutes of the meeting of April 22, .1965, were approved. Carried unanimously. The clerk presented an application of Mrs. Lena Robillard for._ a permit to replace a presently owned mobile home with a new one due to defects found in the original mobile home. Following discussion the town board agreed that action to grant the permit as requested would take place at a later time this meeting. May 6, 1965. To: Town Board - Town of Queensbury. Subject: A. P. C. Sewer. At this time I would like to recommend that before we repair Broadacres Rd. , that we relay a section of sewer main and coo away with the two forty five degree elbows which I have been very much disappointed with from the first installation. We had a clogged line there on May r, 1965. The City Line was also plugged. There is a distance of about four hundred and fifty feet be- tween our man hole at Broad Acres and Lucerne Rlaae and the nearest City man hole. 9 (A. P. C. Sewer letter - continued) I therefore would like to recommend that a. man hole be installed at a point in the main just inside of the Town line, The City then could work: from it. The Town would know that we were clean up to that point. The present main lies in direct line with the storm sewer, and shouldbe relayed back a sufficient distance to make a long curve in- stead of the two forty-five angles. Clean up week has been very such missused and we have already collected over one hundred fifty loads of refuse containing over fifty percent brush and pine needles. It will at least take one more week If we have good weather. Very respectfully, Bernard J. Codner Supt. of Highways Supervisor Webster questioned Superintendent Codner as to the possible cost of the repairs as suggested. Discussion ensued. Mr. Kenneth R. Windover, Jr. , and Mr. Douglas Windover were welcomed to the town board meeting to discuss the complaints as requested by the Superintendent of the Queensbury W&tex District and Supervisor Webster at an earlier date to do with sales efforts to provide water softener equipment to. home owners in the Town of Queensbury. They Apologized for the activity of his sales representatives, who seemed to cast reflections on the condition- of the water being supplied by Queensbury Water District. W. Robert Baker visited the meeting at this time to discuss the . removal of trees at .the location of the town dump. Superintendent of Highways, Bernard J. Codner , stated recently that trees were removed by Mr. Baker some time ago. Mr. Baker stated that he was definitly mis-+informed as to the boundaries at the location in question. , The six trees from the town dump property have been Billed to Mr. Baker for .an amount of $300.00. Agreement was reached on -a settlement of $30.-00 to compensate the Town of Queensbury for damages as discussed. Supervisor Webster issued a receipt for the payment in full as agreed upon. The report of New Construction was received and placed on file. There were 34 reports filed during April, 1965. QUEENSBURY WATER DEPARTMENT Thomas K. Flaherty Superintendent May 6, 1965 To The Queensbury Town Board, Mr. John 0. Webster, Supervisor Subject: Mount Royal Motel, Water Rent. This is a motel consisting of 28 double units, 1 swimming pool, and 6 hose outlets. If we assume that we will bill for 1 hose regardless of 'the .number of .outlets this property would-be billed as-follows. . . .$10.00 per double unit $10.00 per pool$ 8.00 hose charge per .May -billing In May 1965 the bill was. : 28 units $280.00 . 1 pool 10.00 1 hose 8.00 $298.00 50 (Queensbury Water Department letter - continued) . In Nov. the -bill will be $280.00 A total water rent per year of $498.00 Mr. Cormuss feels, that this water rent is unduly high.- He feels that they might have to close the motel during, the winter as the units are not all always rented and the business does not warrant this amount. I feel that the answer to this is to install a meter at this ,property, * In May of 1964 their hill was $196. 00 In Nov. of 1964 their bill was $168.00 Total $864.00 Apparently the property was not inventoried. Mr. Cormuss also pays water rent on several other properties in the same area. Respectfully Thomas K. Flaherty Decision was reached ,by the Town Board that. a meter should be installed at the location in- question. „ QUEENSBURY WATER DEPARTMENT Thomas K. Flaherty Superintendent .

Miley Corinth Rd - outside West Glens Falls R.FD. 2_.- Corinth .Rd.. Dear lair. Webster: The proposed location of this' Mobile .Home is shown on the new attached map and will probably be the best building on this property. Water will `be piped from the private supply (we'll) ,from the-Durway dwelling 20' distant. The septic' tank of the same• dwelling, will be utilized for waste from the Mobile home. There are two other unoccupied Mobile homes on this property, one of which' is Entirely enclosed in a concrete block and frame building with independent floor, walls and roof. It appears as if it is placed in here 'for storage, utilities disconnected. The other is a small aluminum trailer which has been sold and will be removed when it is paid for. The map shows the approximate location of buildings, not drawn to any scale. Mr. Gerald J. Richardson, owner of the premises stated that the approximate size of property 'is 350' x 550' . There are a number of old lumber piles on the property and a couple vf`Aeds -uhioh Mr Durway' states will be -removed- and burned He has cleared=a-"great deal ;of =this ,mess ;--so far and promises- to have all of it gone within a year. 1'reeommend that this application be approved. Very truly `youtt, Arthur 'W. Mvnthie Building Inspector 52 May 5, 1965 Mr. John 0. Webster, Supervisor Town of Queensbury Warren County, N. Y. Dear Mr. Webster: x I checked the Mobile. homes located on the Farm To Market Road on , the property formerly owned by George Stiles and didnot find any new ones. There are four Mobile homes in this vicinity namely, A.T.: Culley, - Roscoe Ingraham, Fred Shuster and Marshall Fowler. Three of these are registered, the .fourth, Fred Shuster is not. His trailer home has a frame enclosure so that it appears like a one story frame - dwelling. This was done a year ago. He has been awayfor about a week so -I -could not talk to him about the registration of his place. The Culley's returned- from Glorida with their Mobile home last week after being there since October. They stated that they did not plan to take their trailer with them again and expected to add a patio or addition to it and leave it at it is present location.-.- ! John Stranahan - Bay Road Permission refused for trailer home on his property. I inspected this property last night to findy `out .if this trailer was being occupied and I don't believe it has -been used. The owner stated that he did not want to be arrested *as he wesr already in disfavor with the Town Board and he didn't know the reason. This trailer has two bedrooms, bath and living room. None of the !utilities . have been connected. Mr. Stranahan stated that he wanted to use it for sleeping quarters only, for four of his sons. He has. . eleven children, two of whom are married, two are living where they — work and the others are home. There are two bedrooms in his one story concrete block house, one room occupied by-himself -and wife and the other by the two daughters who are,.at home. The,boys sleep on the floor of combination living room and kitchen. The trailer is located several hundred feet from Bay Road and can barely be seen from the road, - If it was°moved back .another hundred feet I would approve it for .the purpose intended. I do not consider it a detriment `to the property or to the locality in general. General conditions of the premises is messy and probably always will be, the one redeeming feature being that in friving past on Bay Road one gets only a glimpse of it due to the distance removed. MrS. Anthony Renado Mobile Home - Lower 116 Dix Ave. The trailer home is located on the premises of Mrs Renado.'s mother, Mrs. Carl Stotkweli It, has'* been ,here seven years and it• is not „ registered. Mrs. Renado works so. was not at home.- I talked with her Mother. and — she stated that after school is out Mrs. Renado plans to move, taking the trailer and her family to some other location. ••I advised her that she was in violation of the Town Ordinance and should.. make application to the Town Clerk for approval.
