Area Variance Resolution To: Approve
Applicant Name: Dave & Shannan Carroll
File Number: AV 57-2024
Location: 21 Heron Hollow Road
Tax Map Number: 227.17-1-5
ZBA Meeting Date: October 23, 2024
The Zoning Board of Appeals of the Town of Queensbury has received an application from Dave & Sharman
Carroll. Applicant proposes demolition of existing garage of 1,322 sq ft to replace with a new garage of 1,215
square feet and an upper level of 548 sq ft. The overall floor area is being reduced for the entire home where
existing is 7,980 sq ft and proposed is 7,812 sq ft. The project was part of a recent approval and, upon building
inspection, it was discovered that the foundation was not suitable for original project. The garage will be rebuilt
in the same footprint as the 2024 project plans and with the upper level construction as well. Relief for setbacks
and garage size.
Relief Required:
The applicant requests relief for setbacks and garage size for the construction of a new garage as existing garage
is not suitable for previously approved project.
Section 179-5-020 garage, Section 179-3-040 dimensional
The new garage is to be 1,215 sq ft and the maximum allowed is 1,100 sq ft. The garage is to be located 15.3 ft
from the front setback where a 30 ft setback is required
SEQR Type II — no further review required;
A public hearing was advertised and held on October 23, 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 it's just basically within the envelope of what we approved the first time.
2. Feasible alternatives have been considered by the Board and are reasonable and have been included to
minimize the request. It's an unsafe situation.
3. The requested variance is not substantial. It's in the same footprint as the original.
4. There is not an adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or district.
5. The alleged difficulty really is self-created because of what they discovered during construction.
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 57-
2024, Introduced by Richard Cipperly, who moved for its adoption, seconded by Robert Keenan:
Duly adopted this 23rd Day of October 2024 by the following vote:
AYES: Mr. Urrico, Mr. Cipperly, Mr. Kuhl, Mr. Underwood, Mr. Keenan, Mr. McCabe
NOES: Mr. Henkel
