To whom it may concern
This application is for the property at 499 2nd ave known locally as The Old Dailey
Building. Because we were not able to purchase the property in our current location
and the lease will expire soon our intent is to move Lansingburgh Veterinary Hospi-
tal to the above address. We feel it is a great match and will serve our needs for a
larger and permanent home for our business.
The building is of great historical importance and it is our desire to restore the fa-
cade and exterior building in keeping with its history. We look forward to working
with historical societies and the City of Troy to achieve this.
The interior of the building has many great old features that will be kept ,restored
and displayed for all to see.
The building however must function as a modern state of the art medical facility.
We will need to add a wheelchair accessible entrance on 113st ,Join the building
together and build a deck and new entrance at the rear ,Open up some walls in the
interior and give the building an energy efficient green rehab.
We are a day practice and not a boarding facility .There will be NO outside dog runs.
There will be security lights at the rear of the building.
There will be a comprehensive security alarm and camera system inside and out-
side the building.
We are happy to work with code enforcement on any issue of the work ahead.
Architectural and engineering will be provided by Dave Winkler.
Thank you
Sincerely yours
Tim Ballard
