Powell South, Chairperson Linda Bassarab, Vice Chairperson TOWN OF QUEENSBURY CL 531 BAY ROAD, QUEENSBURY, N.Y. 12804-9725 (518) 745-4400 TO: Planning Board FROM: John Goralski DATE: January 16, 1996 RE: Weller Site Plan Review In December, Mr. Weller received site plan approval to operate a Class A farm on his property at the corner of Bay Road and Route 149 . In the resolution there is a condition that no pig pens shall be less than 100 ' from the property line. Mr. Weller has since inquired if this restriction is referring only to the property line adjacent to his neighbors on Bay Road or if it refers to the entire property. As the resolution is currently written, it is my conclusion that the restriction applies to all property lines . If this is not the case please advise me as to which property lines require the 100 ' setback. JG/pw "HOME OF NATURAL BEAUTY. . .
