Dear Mr. Chase: RE: Resolution to Amend Section4 of Ordinance No. 33 of the Town-of Queensbury I The Department has completed its review of the proposed amendment to Section 4 of Town Ordinance No. 33 as transmitted with your letter of June 28, 1978. It is our opinion that some of the objections to your prior efforts as outlined in my letter of February 2 , 1978 still exist with the proposal now under consideration. The proposed amendment contains no method for the Town to control the moorings placed by the upland owners. Although the term "dock" does not appear in the proposed amendment , the term "private property" could be interpreted to include one' s dock, moorings, swim floats, etc. In effect, this portion of the proposed amendment is vague, and, therefore objectionable to this Department. In light of the shortcomings contained in the proposed amendment, approval as required by Section 130, Paragraph 17, Subdivision 2 of the Town Law connot be extended. Sincerely, /s/ for Peter A.A.
