OPEN FORUM
Dorothy Burnham-Noted that since May of 1985, neighbors and I have written letters, made
phone calls, and appeared before this board and the previous board regarding the commercial
business being conducted on Pickle Hill Road in a RR3A Zone. Noted that this was clearly
in violation of Town Law. Stated that the business operates seven days a week from early
morning until late evening, even during the night. Noted that it was originally a logging
business but now has been expanded to include lot clearing, bull dozing and related activities.
Requesting what action is being taken?
Supervisor Borgos-Noted that there were two major issues, one being the location of a
large barn/garage type structure which is a subject of court action at the present time
and it leaves the board with their hands tied as far as what action we can take. Noted
that this is a residential zone. Noted that he has spoken with Mr. Harris, that members
from the Building and Codes Department, have sent letters instructed Mr. Harris not to
continue with the other business of excavating. Stated that the next action will have to
be a direct notice to stop completely or we will go and see a Judge locally.
Councilman Montesi-Noted that there has been some concerns regarding the scheduling
of workin the sewer districts. Noted that current contract 3 and 4 are presently involved.
Stated that contract 3 includes Quaker Road, Everetts Avenue, Ridge Road, Meadow Lane,

and Route 9. The contract will be complete by October 7th. The last contract will be
complete by next spring which will be parts of Route 9 and Aviation Road.
Supervisor Borgos-Recognizes Boy Scout Mr. Aldous from troop number 13, Queensbury
Bay Ridge and thanks him for joining us.
Roger Marcy, Brookwood Drive-Requested information on behalf of the situation in his
neighborhood?
Counsel Mathias-Stated his recommendation to the Town Board would be to set up a local
law which sets forth a permit procedure for an outdoor recreation area such as the one
that is occurring. Noted that the local law would apply to an operation for which compensation
is being paid but would also apply to any land owner that is aware that his property or encourages
that his property be used for this purpose. Noted also that the regulations in terms of issuing
a permit would be providing a map and plan for what is occurring, a limit on the hours of
operation, and the limit on how close the operation may be located to residential property
21y
lines. He would hope to have some kind of draft available for the Board and a copy to Mr.
Marcy, so that the Board may act on it at the next Town Board Meeting, and possibly set
a Public Hearing.
Mr. Marcy-Stated that he wanted the Town Board to realize that this is a problem that
is occurring throughout the Town in many areas, not only in his neighborhood.
Counsel Mathias-Agreed, and stated that this is a legislative determination that this is
a problem that exists on a Town wide basis.
Dorothy Hall, West Mountain Road-Suggested that the Town make a lane available for
runners and walkers along Potter Road.
I
Supervisor Borgos-Noted that the Town Highway Department are undergoing construction
for similar situations within the town. Noted that Mr. Naylor was present and may better
address the request.
Mr. Paul Naylor, Superintendent of Highways-Stated that they would be working on Sherman,
Luzerne, Peggy Ann Roads and possibly Jenkinsville Road. Noted that they were the only
ones budgeted for this year. Stated also that Potter Road was recently repaved and widened
30 feet. Noted that the County would be widening West Mountain Road in the near future
from Potter to the Water Department.
Plinney Tucker, Ward 4-Regarding Gary Bowen's Development, is there any truth to the
issuing of building permits before the roads are cut in?
Supervisor Borgos-In regard to developments of this type the Town Board will be requiring
bonds to be posted to insure that the roads will be properly completed.
Councilman Montesi-Questioned Mr. Jim Bowen whether there have been any permits issued?
Mr. Jim Bowen-Yes, through the Building Department but it has been agreed that there
will be no transaction of land before they are approved town roads.
Mr. Tucker-Questioned whether the Town is violating the law by using the Town Highway
Department and their budget to do work at Hovey Pond?
Supervisor Borgos-Stated that the Town Highway Department may do work for the Town
-- for Town projects and in this case it is being billed back to the Recreation Department.
Councilman Montesi-Noted that Audit Control suggested to us last year that we establish
an account for Paul that was a revenue generating account if we were to have Mr. Naylor
doing these projects for us. This type of account gave Mr. Naylor the ability to bill the
other departments and put it back into Highway Department.
Mr. Tucker-Noted that along Luzerne Road, Potter Road, Pitcher Road, Van Dusen Road,
many of the highways are littered with garbage. Questioned if it could be cleaned up?
Regarding Faith Bible Church on Division Road, are still allowing dumping, in violation
of the Town Board's notice of closing two years ago until they presented an Environmental
Impact Statement, which they didn't.
Supervisor Borgos-Stated that he would check on it tomorrow.

Tropicana's Strip Show?

he has received many responses, some phone calls, letters and two petitions, one for and
one against. Noted that it is still under investigation and at the time no action is being
proposed.
Carl Graves, Big Boom Road, directly across from Glens Falls Ready Mix Plant-Stated
that he has a serious problem with cement dust coming from the plant, presented the Board
with pictures. Noted that he has gone personally to the plant asking for assistance to the
problem but received no help. Stated that he notified ENCON, they went to the site, probably
on a rainy day, and claimed that there was no problem and suggested not to call again.
Questioned the Town Board if they had any solutions or suggestions?
Councilman Monahan-Suggested that Mr. Graves contact OSHA.
Supervisor Borgos-Asked the Clerk to remind him in the morning so that he may contact
OSHA for Air. Graves. Stated that they would work with DEC and OSHA to see what they
220
could do.
Mr. Marcy-Regarding conditions of the liter along roadways, suggested that he would like
to help by involving High School students with a possible spring clean-up day. Noted that
he would need permission from the Board of Education, which will be meeting again on
the 19th of May.
Councilman Monahan-Suggested that the local Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts may like to participate
also.

Duly adopted by the following vote:

Noes: Mr. Montesi, Mrs. Monahan
Absent: None
Discussion before vote:
Supervisor Borgos-Noted that Rist-Frost is currently working with the Town on a study
for North Rueensbury Sewer District. Noted that the study would be running for the south
eastern corner of the Town, Rueensbury Avenue, County Line Road, running from Lower
Warren Street to Hicks Road.
Councilman Montesi-Concerned with the initial strong negative response from the residents
within this area when the original sewer district was first presented which included this
particular County Line Road section. Also concerned that there are few homes within
this district area and the burden that it may cause them. Suggested that if the County
is having problems with sewage at the County Industrial Park and the County Airport let
them tell us and work with us.
Supervisor Borgos-I am trying to see if we can make this sewer cost effective, and pay
for itself.
Councilman Monahan-1 am disappointed to see that their solution is to run into the Glens
Falls Sewer System.
Supervisor Borgos-They were hired to look at innovative methods and they have done that.
Councilman Monahan-We have no report from them, we are jumping the gun to assume
that this system will go down Ridge Road. I would like to see the report.
Councilman Potenza-We are discussing $2500.00 to see a preliminary report to see if it
is feasible or not.
Supervisor Borgos-I have seen the preliminary findings that are not ready for public view,
it makes sense to take a look at this other side. They have looked at many alternatives.
Councilman Monahan-The councilman from that area has not been advised of any of these
meetings or reports.
Supervisor Borgos-There has only been one meeting.
Councilman Montesi-There is no way without Federal and State Funding that we can bring
ten miles of pipe down Ridge Road with the sparse population and hope to get it into the
Glens Falls Treatment Plant. There are six to seven hundred homes on Lake George and
we are trying to service economically it is going to be an incredible cost. If they do not
buy this on Lake George because it is too expensive what will happen to this section on
County Line Road.
Supervisor Borgos-You are right there is no funding available, before we go for funding
and we have made contacts, I have been in touch with Albany and other places everybody
wants to know what the proposed cost of the project. We cannot get a proposed cost for
the project until you do a study of the alternatives and when we do the study of the alternatives
we come up with proposed costs. We are still trying to get a handle on the proposed cost.
-- Once the proposals are ready it goes to the public to get public input and people say yes
it looks like a good project and we like the concept then we can proceed to get funding.We
all know that this will not proceed without funding, we cannot request funding until we
know how much to request. Mrs. Monahan I am sorry if I offended you by not inviting you
to the meeting we will try to meet at your conveyance in the future.
Councilman Monahan-I do represent my people and I like to be able to report to them.
Wilson, in the matter of voting for sewer district that would include the County Line Road,
does each company within the IDA boundary get a vote, does Warren County get another
2ti4
and the IDA get the other vote how would those votes be counted in case of a referendum?
Town Counsel-I will check what the pilot agreement said in the IDA, If it does not state
voting in the agreement the Warren Washington Co. IDA would have one vote...
Councilman Monahan-I have the concern that the property owners would have to bear an
awful burden that the IDA would have enough votes within their boundaries that they could
thwart the will of a lot of property owners.
Councilman Montesi-The County has a sewer treatment plant on site in the IDA development
obviously it is starting to get taxed so that if they had sewers it would alleviate some problems
in the future. There may be some covenant in their deeds that says that the County IDA
must provide sewers.
Councilman Potenza-Aren't we putting the cart before the horse, we do not know what —°
this is going to cost and I thought that is what this resolution is about.
Councilman Monahan-I do not think it is only that, if we pass this and put this to where
we maybe are jeopardizing our residents and they are having to pay so many taxes...
Supervisor Borgos-The other side of the coin is that perhaps the Industrial Park will provide
enough income to make the sewer possible for those people who could not otherwise do
it, there is no way to find out until we do the study.
VOTE CALLED FOR
Mr. Kurosaka passed on the first round...voted immediately after Supervisor voted...
Councilman Monahan-I have a question, I am not sure that a Councilman can vote out of
order and I think we need legal research on that.
Supervisor Borgos-I believe that we set the voting order any way we like to.
Asked if Council had an answer of the voting procedure...(noted none) ...As Chairman of
the meeting I will rule that if there is no answer to the contrary the motion has succeeded,
a three to two vote.
