on property situated at the west side of Cleverdale Road at intersection of
Rockhurst Road.
Public Hearing. Larry Reynolds, real estate consultant, representing owners
Ralph & Elizabeth Shoenherr. Mr. Roberts noted that they were not dealing
with any increased density, no change in use. The Warren County Planning
Board recommended disapproval, felt a precedent would be established if approved.
Letters from Alma R. Hurwitz and Roland L. Faulkner read and entered in record.
Mrs. Hurwitz opposed to division of more than 2 parcels. Mr. Faulkner opposed
to approval of application. Member of Lake George Association questioned
additional burden on sewer system if used year round. Mr. Roberts pointed
out that it could be rented year round now if owner desired. This would not
change with new owners. Mrs. Leigh Beeman, co-owner of property on south
side concerned about setting precedent for future. Mr. Roberts said the Board
looks at these applications on a case by case basis and would hope that they
were not setting precedents. Mr. Macri offered motion for approval, seconded
by Mr. Noll. Motion carried unanimously.

SUBDIVISION:
Pine Wood Hollow Subdivision - Lot 24 - Kenneth Matson
Mr. Roberts said there is a problem with front property line setback. Location
of structure is well within setback provisions of Queensbury Ordinance, however,
deed restrictions require 45 foot setback, also shown on plat filed with County.
Subject home is completed at 42.5 setback and bank will not issue mortgage
until matter resolved. This is really a civil matter but because change in subdivision
plat matter should be addressed by Board.
The unanimous decision of all members present is as follows:
A) The actual location of the structure is well within the setback provisions
of the Queensbury Zoning Ordinance (Section 4.020-e).
B) The actual location of the structure at 42.5 plus or minus feet has no adverse
impact upon the Pine Wood Hollow Subdivision.
Approval granted with no further comment.
