FLOOR AREA RATIO WORKSHEET
Any construction, addition or replacement of structures in the Waterfront Residential Zones (WR-lA & WR-
3A) is subject to the Floor Area Ratio requirements as defined in Section 179-16 of the Town of Queensbury
Zoning Ordinance.
Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is the relationship of building size to lot size derived by dividing the total building
square footage by the lot size in square feet, yielding a percentage. The maximum allowable FAR is 22
percent.
•; Please note that FAR requirements are separate and distinct from the permeable area requirements that
may apply.
Building square footage includes all floors of the primary structure, covered porches, and basements (when at
least three (3) feet in height of one (1) wall is exposed and the space meets the living space requirements as
defined in Section 711 and 712 of the NYS Building Code — see reverse side of oaee. Detached storage
buildings greater than 100 sq. ft. and detached garages are so included in the FAR calculations. Building
square footage does not include: open decks, docks and that portion of covered docks extending into the
water, and one shed 100 sq. ft. or less. All additional sheds are included in the FAR calculations.

Area Variance No.: 71-1999
Project Applicant: John N. Boomer
Project Location: Woods Point Lane, off Lockhart Loop
Meeting Date: August 18, 1999
Description of Proposed Project:
Applicant proposes construction of a 240 sf freestanding carport and
seeks setback relief and relief for a second garage.
Relief Required:
Applicant requests 7 feet of relief from the 75 foot minimum shoreline
setback requirement of both the WR-1 A zone § 179-16 and the Shoreline
and Wetlands Regulations, §179-60. Also, since the proposed structure is
intended for vehicle storage, relief for a second garage is requested, per
179-7, Garage, private parking.
Cdteria for considering an Area Variance according to Chapter 267 of
Town Law:
1. Benefit to the applicant:
Applicant would be permitted to construct and utilize an additional
vehicle storage structure, closer to the residence.
2. Feasible alternatives:
Feasible alternatives may include addition to the existing garage and
relocation to an area which complies with the shoreline setback
requirements.
3. Is this relief substantial relative to the ordinance:
7 feet of relief from the 75 foot requirement may be interpreted as
minimal. A second vehicle storage structure may be interpreted as a
moderate request for relief, however, the proposed total garage square
footage would be 912 which would be a minimal request,
4. Effects on the neighborhood or community:

Staff Notes:
The applicant's site drawing is included with the summaries. The applicant has approximately 880 sq.ft. residence
with an existing detached garage and is requesting a carport so that they can part closer to the house in inclement
weather and have the vehicle covered as both people are elderly. The applicant is required to be 75' from the
shoreline and is proposing that the comer of the carport would be 68'. The degree of variance is minor and the
applicant does not require any other area variances. Staff therefore does not identify any issues that are significant
to County resources from the encroachment of 7' into the shoreline setback.

Meeting Date: Wednesday, August 18, 1999
Approved _X_ Denied Tabled Withdrawn SEQRA Review
[Tabled: applicant has sixty (60 days) to come back with the application]
MOTION TO APPROVE AREA VARIANCE NO. 71-1999 JOHN N. BOOMER,
Introduced by Robert McNally who moved for its adoption, seconded by Daniel Stec:
Woods Point Lane, off Lockhart Loop. The applicant proposes the construction of a 240
square foot freestanding carport and seeks setback relief and relief for a second garage.
Specifically, Mr. Boomer requests seven feet of relief from the 75 foot minimum
shoreline setback requirements of both the WR-lA zone, which is Section 179-16, and
the Shoreline and Wetland Regulations, Section 179-60, and because the proposed
structure is intended for an automobile storage, Mr. Boomer requests relief for a second
garage per Section 179-7, which limits garages to a single structure for private residential
parking. The benefit to the applicant would certainly be that he would be permitted to
construct and utilize an additional vehicle storage structure closer to his home. The lot
configuration is such that it is on a steep hill, and the existing garage a good distance
away, approximately 100 paces Mr. Boomer said himself from the residence, and in the
winter time, and even during the summer time, it's very difficult to get up and down that
hill, certainly if you were carrying any packages. Feasible alternatives would include
addition to the existing garage, but that would not relieve the Boomers' problem with
respect to the distance and the slope of the hill, and it could be relocated to an area that
complies with the shoreline setback requirements, but in all honesty, I don't see that as
feasible, given the fact that this structure is tucked behind the existing structure, which
Approval of the application means that the applicant can now apply for a Building Permit unless your lands
are Adirondack Park Jurisdictional or other approvals are necessary (such as review by the Queensbury
Planning Board.)

itself is closer to the lake, and if this is the way the applicant wishes to place his carport,
so be it. The relief is not substantial relative to the Ordinance. The lot is large enough to
fit two garage structures such as this, and seven feet of relief from the 75 foot setback
requirement is minimal, in my opinion. Also, since the second vehicle storage structure
is such that the combined two garages would be 912 square feet, the relief requested is
only 12 square feet above the existing allowable maximum, and therefore the request is,
in my opinion, minimal. The effects on the neighborhood is also going to be minimal.
The properties are pretty much spread out in that location, and I noted that there would be
very little visual impact from the lake. The difficulty is not self-created. Mr. Boomer
purchased this property with a garage in the position where it is. He's just trying to
correct that problem. For these reasons, I move the approval of the variance.
Duly adopted this 18`h day of August, 1999, by the following vote:
AYES: Mr. McNally, Mr. Hayes, Mr. Stone, Mr. Stec, Mr. McNulty, Mr. Thomas
NOES: NONE
