QUEENSBURY The sections of fence have fallen in one by one over several months, another large piece hanging and ready to fall just feet from Whippoorwill Road any day.

Numerous young children gather near the fence every weekday to catch a school bus, some playing around it as they walk to and from the bus stop. Yet town officials have taken no action.

Residents of the neighborhood are concerned, and others in town are concerned about the condition of other fences.

Local businesswoman Denise Buher, owner of Orthopedic & Spine Physical Therapy at the corner of Bay and Blind Rock roads, has watched as a fence that separates her building from a neighboring apartment complex has fallen apart, with numerous slats broken and paint peeling.

Buher said her efforts to get the owner, Schermerhorn Real Estate Holdings, to repair the fence have failed. So she took her concerns to town officials, but was told they couldnt mandate repairs or even a new coat of paint.

Queensbury town code generally does not require owners of fences to maintain them in any way.

Craig Brown, the towns zoning administrator, said town code used to include requirements for fence maintenance, but that section of the law was taken out in about 2002. He said the difficulty in enforcing the code in a town with more than 13,000 parcels of property likely played a part in removing it.

It was probably an administrative nightmare to make sure people were painting their fences, Brown said.

The fence at the corner of Whippoorwill Road and Mountainview Lane has been in a state of disrepair for years, according to neighbors. One neighbor said she was not aware of any complaints to the town about it, but pointed out the home sits at the corner of a busy road and the collapsed fence is plainly visible.

Brown said he doesnt know whether a fence that poses safety concerns could be addressed under town law, but he pointed out any children playing on or around the fence would be trespassing.

WATERVLIET The final demolition plans for the St. Patricks bell tower were delayed one more time on Wednesday as crews continued to prepare the site for the towers removal today.

Police Chief Ron Boisvert said there were several factors that the demolition crew, the developers and the city were taking into consideration as the project moved forward, including the expected weight of the top 30 feet of the tower and that a dry underground riverbed lies underneath the site.

After bringing a crane to the site around midday when demolition was expected to occur on Wednesday crews tied cables to the sides of the 137-foot bell tower. The cables are expected to be used today to bring the top of the tower down safely. The bottom of the tower will then be razed as the rest of the edifices have been for the past month. Demolition started in early April with the boiler house followed with the beginning of the churchs demolition in the middle of the month.

The church had been closed since September 2011. Plans were announced for the site last spring by Albany developer Nigro Companies.

The 3.5 acre property will eventually house a state of the art Price Chopper supermarket which will replace the stores current location in a nearby strip mall.

Officials at the site Wednesday said they expected demolition to continue this morning.

WATERVLIET Demolition of the bell tower at St. Patricks should begin around midday today, according to Steve Powers, with developer Nigro Companies.

Crews were supposed to start taking down the 137-foot structure Tuesday, but the crane brought in to attach safety cables to the top of the tower proved not tall enough and another had to be found.

Demolition of the bell tower should be complete by weeks end. Next, Powers said, the former rectory will be taken down. There is asbestos abatement currently taking place at the old school and demolition of that building should be complete by the week after next, Powers said.

The former 3.5-acre Roman Catholic complex is coming down to prepare the site for a Price Chopper supermarket and two commercial buildings.

Despite opposition by many, including the Citizens for St. Patricks, a grass roots group of activists who brought litigation to a number of courts in an effort to save the historic church, demolition commenced in full force in mid-April. There was talk of incorporating the bell tower into the Price Chopper design, but it was later deemed not feasible by the developers engineers.

While Fifth Avenue has remained closed to traffic but has offered spectators the best view of the demolition 19th Street has remained open throughout and is expected to remain open while the bell tower is razed.
