The suggeset„iesasa reewentlyct '.xptz ley the, Commission. developed at. our last meeting With thew ;d+strrd; +fir two public hearings and at our own meeting on April 289 19"1." , We now submit to you this final report,_ which is to bet c d. s - ered with, and as a part of, our prier report can March 13, 19 . Ia< I 425 connection with this final report, we present Minutes of meeting with Board, March 13,E I95& N�inutes of public hearings , March 32t and April 21,j,, 195& Minutes of regular meeting, April: 289 1958 Seven copies of the revised proposed ordinance Seven copies of the revised proposed zoning schedule One copy of the revised zoning map: I The proposed zoning map, has been revised in several ways. The indus- trial district in South Queensbury has been revised to eliminate an indus- trial area, Which is now designated as residential. This was done because of suggestions at prior meetings and as requested in a petition presented at our public hearing on April 21, 1958. Also, the industrial district north of the glens Falls city line has been changed to eliminate the most northern area and to extend the industrial district to a strip from Lafayette to the Delaware do Hudson right of Kay. Also, an area which was j formerly designated as industrial has now been changed to business, from the Country Club eut-off road and Glenwood Ave. , to include a strip paralleling north of Pinevfew Road to Route 9. Also, the business district extending from the Glens Falls city line to the Caldwell Town Line, along Route 9, has been increased to 1,000 feet on .both sides of the Route, in- stead -of 500 feet on both sides. R The proposed zoning ordinance has been revised in various places. j The question of manure storage has been solved by the elimination of any reference to it in Section VII,A,7, which now covers only the customary agricultural operations, including the sale of ;produce. The terms .of office for the aembers of the Board of Appeals is now stated to adequately cover the staggered terms of office of the five members, in Section XVI,A. I The question of cessation, particularly as to junk yards , has been discussed at some length, but the Commission decided to rule no change in the- Ordinance Section XIII,9. However, we suggest that the Town Board co- ordinate the zoning ordinance with the Town ordinance pertaining to junk yards, if necessary. . Other minor revisions have been made in Section VIII,4; Section X.11; amd Section IX A 2 s w , , a well as B,I, and 3. In. Section X?ac, the violation has been changed to 30-days. - The Zoning Schedule has been changed where necessary to reflect ordinance revisions. As agreed during the public hearing on April 21, 19589 by the seven Commission ambers present, and later approved at our regular meeting on April 28, 1958, we recommend to the Town Board that the proposed ordinance be submitted to the people on a permissive referendum, if determined that this can be done acebrding to Tom Lav, We would agaLn like to state that comments and questions raised by residents have been considered by the Commission. We believe we have talked to between 500 and GOO residents at the 713 "group. talks", and "public hearings" held throughout the Torn-$ of which about 75, were at the two "public hearings". On the bssis of a1l 'df -our talks with residents, we have not changed the opinion expressed in our, prelnary report, to the y: effect that the majority of those residents with whom we talked were in favor of zoning. The Zoning Commission has now completed and presents this .Xoning Ordinance according to Section: 266, Chapter 62 of the Consolidated Laws. QUMWSBURY ZONING COMMISSION l (signed) Arthur Ft.
