Dear Darleen,
Because we know that it is important for the Code of the Town of Queensbury to be updated
in a timely fashion, we are now proceeding with publication of Supplement No. 17. As you
remember, we were waiting to receive better copies of Tables 1, 2, and 4, the changes to
which were part of Local Law No. 1-2006. As these have not yet arrived, I wanted to let
you know how we decided to address changes to these tables. In all cases, we are adding
the legislation to the Code as adopted and provided by the Town.
In Tables 1, 2, and 4, I have added material that was underlined in the legislation, as
well as any corresponding note numbers. Likewise, I have deleted material that was crossed
out in Table 4.
I want to call two items to your attention. First, in Table 4, I have added what appears
to be Note 9 to the Professional Office row under the Front Minimum Setback column such
that the entry will become "50(9) . " However, there is no corresponding Note 9 given under
"Notes. "
Also, in making the changes to Table 2, I noticed that the acronym "SRPU" is in the Place
of Worship row under the Recreation Commercial column (Column H) . However, the Key does
not provide a corresponding definition for SRPU.
Finally, as there are a number of Zoning amendments in this supplement, I was wondering if
you have any remaining Zoning pamphlets for which you need slipsheet/replacement pages
and, if so, how many sets you need. Please let me know as soon as possible if you do need
slipsheets as I would expect your supplement to ship sometime within the next two weeks.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to call. And many thanks for your help
with this supplement.
With best regards,
Nancy
