43 State Route 9. The applicant proposes the construction of a 13,690 square foot 82 unit hotel, on

the east side of New York State Route 9, between Sweet Road and Montray Road. The applicant has

Area Variance No. 57-1999, The Sleep Inn, Queensbury, NY
structure, and in and of itself, will not exceed the requirement except to a minimal degree. The
granting of this requested variance would have no effect on the neighborhood or community that
anyone could characterize as negative, and given the fact that this is an empty lot, and something of
an eyesore, would probably have a positive aesthetic effect on the character of the neighborhood. I
do not find that the difficulty is self-created. For these reasons, I move that we approve this Area
Variance. That by passing this motion, we're not approving the depicted signage on the drawings
that they've submitted with this application, that's not part of the application before us.
Duly adopted this 16th day of June, 1999, by the following vote:
