Ed Dwek, Saratoga Lake, also spoke on the 3-story construction at the Lake and stated that he felt that the whole property situation was illegal from the start, as it was vacant and didn�t meet standards.� He also questioned how height maximums would be measured, from the grade at the front, back, top of slope?� Attorney William Reynolds and Supervisor Thomas Wood agreed that input is needed from Larry Benton of the County Planning Board and with other neighboring towns as to how they define and restrict it.�
