The parcel of land owned by the Town of Queensbury located between Glen
Lake Road and the shore of Glen Lake and shown as parcel number 38-4-1 on
the Town of Queensbury Tax Map (the "Glen Lake Boat Launch Site") includes
approximately 50 feet of frontage on both Glen Lake and Glen Lake Road. However,
due to topographical constraints, the actual usable footage at each location
is only approximately 15 feet. In addition, the access point to Glen Lake
Road is situated at the base of a hill on a blind curve which results in a
very limited line of sight and sight distance which is sometimes further obscured
by overgrown vegetation. As a result of these conditions, boat trailers can
only be backed down the Boat Launch Site roadway and access to the site by
boat trailers is unsafe for both motorists on Glen Lake Road and the trailer
owners. The purpose of this chapter is to provide a convenient, safe area
for launching of canoes and other small boats which are transported without
the use of a boat trailer and to meet safety concerns to prevent trailer usage
and access as detailed in Resolution No. 144 of 1991.
A violation of any provision of this chapter shall, upon conviction,
be punishable by a fine not to exceed $25 for a first offense and $50 for
each subsequent offense. In addition, the Town may institute any proper action,
suit or proceeding to prevent, restrain, correct or abate any violation of
this chapter.
