Continued resolution:
Area Variance No. 80-2003, Pyramid Co. of Glens Falls
ZBA Meeting: Wednesday, September 17, 2003
Relief required, One, 16.87 acres of relief from the 25-acre minimum requirement. Two, 180
feet, approximately, of relief from the 800 foot minimum lot width requirement. Three, 10.6%
of relief from the 14.5% minimum permeability requirement. Four, 30 feet of relief from the 30-
foot minimum side setback requirement for both sides. Five, 30 feet of relief from the 30-foot
minimum rear setback requirement. Six, 40 feet of relief from the 40-foot minimum road
frontage requirement. I think the record shows that this particular application, not this
application, but its predecessor, very much like it, got all its approvals from the Zoning Board
and I believe the Planning Board, and what we have is here is a very minor change in certain of
the dimensions which actually make the lot a little smaller than it was going to be, and I think the
parking is going to be, requirements was going to be reduced, and these are technical in nature.
There’s certain business reasons for this to be done, and I feel it’s in the minds of much of the
Board here that this was of no negative impact to the community, and certainly would be of great
business (benefit) to the applicant and the new business tenant, perhaps the community at large.
So with that I again move that we approve Area Variance No. 80-2003.
Duly adopted this 17th day of September, 2003, by the following vote:
AYES: Mr. Hayes, Mr. Bryant, Mr. Himes, Mr. Abbate, Mr. Stone
NOES: Mr. McNulty, Mr. Urrico
