`1'ax Map Parcel 288.-1-6 5 and 69.11
Dear Chairman Freer:
Please be advised that our law firm has been retained by hri WphlMr Dwyer relative to requesting
m area variuice for lot sizc due to the existing struetures on his parcels. Mir. Dwyer purchased
these parcels,Tax Map Parcel 288.-1-65 and 69.11,with his father in 2012. Tax Map Parcel
288.-1-65 is located along West Mountain Road and is where both 4tTuvture;s are located. The
parcel is 1.39 acres in size. 'fax Map Parcel 288.-1-69.11 is a vacant 1.9 acre parcel,
i=-.dxately€Edjacent to parcel 288.-1-65,but it does not bave road ftntage.The structures were
both existing at the time of purchase. However, the one strue=e was classified as a boat storage
facility whin constructed in 1999, but at some point in time was converted to an apartment. Both
units have public water and private septic systems.
'l'lie Applicant is in the process of selling tht-property and was not aware until recently that the
stcond dwelIing required relief from the Tovvn of Queensbury Zoning Code. The Applicant has
maintained tim property with multiple dwellings since its ownership in 2012- Although this
would be ounsidered an after the fact variance, it will result its no physical changes since the uses
have been in existence for some time. To CY arty n two dwelling units in the MDR Zone with
public water and privaw septic require 4 acres. Although these two structures are located on the
tax map parcel 288.4-65, the Applicant is willing to merge the two parvirls together to lessen the
relief requested, since combined the total size will be 3.29 acres. With this merger, the relief
being sought Should not be considered substantial. Although modifying the boundaries of the
parcels and keeping each structure on its awn paicrcl was considered an option, It required even
more relief than the application being gought.
