WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY:
WHEREAS, by Resolution No.: 324,2013, the Town of Queensbury authorized
commencement of an action against Amy and Monty Liu, Sr. (Property Owners) concerning their
property located at 650 Glen Street in the Town of Queensbury, tax map parcel no.: 302.11-1-12
(Property), as an odor emanated from the structure located on the Property rendering the structure
unfit for habitation and posing it as an ongoing threat to the health of neighboring property occupants,
a health hazard, unfit for human habitation, and to be condemned as a public health nuisance, and
WHEREAS, such Resolution further provided that if the Property Owners failed to demolish
such structure or provide an equivalent suitable remedy, the Town could make arrangements to do so
with the costs to be assessed to the property owners or to become a lien against the property, and
WHEREAS, the Town's Director of Building and Codes has advised the Town Board that on
October 2nd, 2013 he inspected the Property and found that the structure has been gutted down to the
framing and flooring, all interior wall coverings, plumbing and electrical have been removed, the cat
urine smell is no longer pungent and is tolerable, and the floors and lower part of the walls have been
sealed, and
WHEREAS, the Director asserts that the major building hazard has therefore been
eliminated and should no longer be considered a hazard or nuisance to the neighbors and
recommends that the Town Board discontinue its action against the Property Owners so that the
Director may issue a Building Permit, and
WHEREAS, the Town Board has reviewed such recommendation and agrees that such
action should be discontinued,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that the Queensbury Town Board hereby authorizes and directs Town
Counsel to prepare and execute a Stipulation of Discontinuance in the matter of the Town of
