Tax Map Number: 308.19-1-20
ZBA Meeting Date: Wednesday, March 23, 2015
The Zoning Board of Appeals of the Town of Queensbury has received an application from Larry Clute. Applicant proposes construction of a 20 ft. by 20 ft. garage addition to an existing
26 ft. by 48 ft. single-family dwelling. Relief requested from side setback requirements for the MDR zoning district.
SEQR Type II – no further review required;
A public hearing was advertised and held on Wednesday, March 23, 2016;
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:
There is not an undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood nor a detriment to nearby properties.
Feasible alternatives have been discussed, coming in to get a variance earlier or coming in now.
The requested variance is not substantial.
There is not an adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or district?
The alleged difficulty is considered self-created because you did not have to add a garage.
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;
The Board also finds that the variance request under consideration is the minimum necessary;
BASED ON THE ABOVE FINDINGS, I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AREA VARIANCE NO. PZ-0084-2016 Larry Clute, Introduced by Kyle Noonan, who moved for its adoption, seconded by Michael McCabe:
