Area Variance Resolution To: Approve
Applicant Name: Jennifer Ivanov
File Number: AV 21-2024
Location: 55 Wincoma Lane
Tax Map Number: 297.10-1-40
ZBA Meeting Date: April 24, 2024
The Zoning Board of Appeals of the Town of Queensbury has received an application from Jennifer Ivanov.
Applicant proposes a 2-car detached garage of 784 sq ft. The existing home of 2,984 sq ft footprint with 584 sq
ft porch/deck areas are to remain with no changes. The existing home has an attached garage to remain. Relief
requested for a second garage.
Relief Required:
The applicant requests relief for a second garage. The project site is located on a 0.84 ac parcel in the MDR
zone —Rolling Ridge Subdivision
Section 170-3-040, Section 179-5-020
The applicant proposes to construct a detached garage and maintain an existing garage attached to the existing
home 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. I believe that the fagade, the look of this structure, fits in. It is not having any negative effect
on the neighborhood.
2. Feasible alternatives have been discussed and considered for this application, but as discussed, we would
believe this is the minimum request.
3. The requested variance could be considered substantial in nature, but we do believe that, again, it fits in with
the character of the neighborhood.
4. There is not an adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or district.
5. The alleged difficulty is self-created, but for the aforementioned reasons, we would approve the application.
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. 21-
2024, Introduced by Brent McDevitt, who moved for its adoption, seconded by Mary Palacino:
Duly adopted this 24th Day of April 2024 by the following vote:
AYES: Mr. Henkel, Mr. Kuhl, Mrs. -Palacino, Mr. McDevitt, Mr. Underwood
