Area Variance Resolution To: Approve
Applicant Name: Jennifer Ball
File Number: AV 22-2024
Location: 237 Pickle Hill Rd.
Tax Map Number: 266.1-1-9.11
ZBA Meeting Date: April 24, 2024
The Zoning Board of Appeals of the Town of Queensbury has received an application from Jennifer Ball.
Applicant proposes to construct -new single family home with an attached garage. The new home is to be 4,360
sq ft with 765 sq ft porch/deck area footprint. The attached garage is to be 1,085 sq ft as part of the home and
has 3 bays. The applicant has completed the renovations to the existing detached garage including the fagade
that was updated per previous approvals. The Zoning Board approval for two garages has expired as the
construction of the home has not been completed. Relief requested for second garage.
Relief Required:
The applicant requests relief for a second garage. The project site is on a 12 ac parcel in the Rural Residential 3
acres zone.
179-3-040, 179-5-020
The site has an existing garage 2400 sq ft to remain with no changes and to construct an attached garage of
1085 sq ft where only one garage is allowed.
SEQR Type II — no further review required;
A public hearing was advertised and held on Wednesday, April 24, 2024.
Upon review of the application materials, information supplied during the public hearing, and upon
consideration of the criteria specified in Section 179-14-080(A) of the Queensbury Town Code and Chapter 267
of NYS Town Law and after discussion and deliberation, we find as follows:
1. There is not an undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood nor a detriment to nearby
properties. This has been gone through before previously.
2. Feasible alternatives are really not possible.
3. The requested variance is not substantial. It's identical to what was approved in the past and actually the
main house is a little smaller.
4. There is not an adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or district.
5. The alleged difficulty, once again, is really self-created they want a second garage.
6. In addition, the Board finds that the benefit to the applicant from granting the requested variance would
outweigh (approval) the resulting detriment to the health, safety and welfare of the neighborhood or
community;
7. The Board also finds that the variance request under consideration is the minimum necessary;
8. The Board also proposes the following conditions:
a) Adherence to the items outlined in the follow-up letter sent with this resolution.
BASED ON THE ABOVE FINDINGS, I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AREA VARIANCE NO. 22-
2024, Introduced by Richard Cipperly, who moved for its adoption, seconded by Brent McDevitt:
Duly adopted this 24th Day of April 2024 by the following vote:
AYES: Mr. Urrico, Mr. Kuhl, Mr. Cipperly, Mrs. Palacino, Mr. Henkel, Mr. McDevitt, Mr. Underwood
NOES: NONE
