Area Variance Resolution To: Approve
Applicant Name: Barbara Schagen
File Number: AV 43-2024
Location: 33 Honeysuckle Lane
Tax Map Number: 226.19-1-52
ZBA Meeting Date: July 18, 2024
The Zoning Board of Appeals of the Town of Queensbury has received an application from Barbara Schagen.
Applicant proposes to remove two deck additions, one of 240 sq ft and one of 160 sq ft and to construct two
new decks in a similar location. The new decks are to be 288 sq ft and 160 sq ft with a foot bridge of 59.5 sq ft
connecting the two decks. The existing 1,403 sq ft home is to remain unchanged with no other sitework. The
parcel is a corner lot. Relief is requested for setbacks.
Relief Required:
The applicant requests relief for setbacks for the construction of two new deck sections. The project site is
0.182 ac located in the Waterfront Residential zone.
Section 179-3-040 WR
The new deck section of 240 sf is to be 26 ft from the Honeysuckle Lane side property line and 15 ft from the
front property line. The new deck section of 160 sf is to be 13 ft from the Cherry Tree Lane side and 26 ft to
Cherry Tree Lane where a 30 ft setback is required.
SEQR Type II — no further review required;
A public hearing was advertised and held on Thursday, July 18, 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
because there are few alterations.
2. Feasible alternatives have been considered by the Board and are not possible given the configuration of the
lot.
3. The requested variance is not substantial.
4. There is not an adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or district.
5. The alleged difficulty is not self-created because of the lot configuration.
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. 43-
2024, Introduced by James Underwood, who moved for its adoption, seconded by Michael McCabe.
Duly adopted this 18" Day of July 2024 by the following vote:
AYES: Mr. Keenan, Mr. Urrico, Mr. Henkel, Mrs. Palacino, Mr. Kuhl, Mr. Underwood, Mr. McCabe
