RE: Residential Addition Variance
Joseph and a Didio Y
�� ���LA�hll� OF�FIE�
Parcel: 523400 239,20-1-7
Dear Zoning Board,
Please review the fallowing information aid the reasons why the proposed variance is needed
for the construction of a 52 5 square foot addition on our property at 2-966 State Rt 9L on Dunham's
Bay in Lake George.
- When we moved into the property in 2002, the camp had been owned by an elderly
couple who used it as a part-time camp and the limited living and odd sleeping space was not an issue.
My wife and I moved into the camp as year around residents. Our children were not living with us so
e managed when they came to visit.
In rmme recent years our children have gotten married and have children. When they come to
visit we need to provide a safer, cleaner sle*ng area for the children and their parents and the existing
bedroom(next to the furnace room) can tamed into a basement for storage.
What we axe proposing is to build a 525 square font addition over the living room and dining
room. It will remain a three bedroom house. This project will not adversely impact our ptoperty or
any neighbors' properties as we are not encroaching further on any lot setbacks nor impact any lake
views-
We live on a steep hill so since moving in extensive landscaping bas been installed to stabilize
the previously bare slope.
As part of this project we request a survey waiver for pre and post conditions. We propose to
use the 2007 survey where the addition is on the second floor facing the lake and the setbacks to the
home will remain the same. Please note our project in 2047 before the board we greed to relocate the
hat tub area to be firrther from the adjoining property and we removed the shoreline deck- the 2007
survey doesn't reflect the changes we were asked to complete. These changes have been,made.
We appreciate your time and consideration in the sanction of this variance. We request your
approval for this safe,attractive addition to the property that coincides with the surrounding
community.
Yours Truly,
Joseph Didio and Cynthia Didio
