[Check all that apply] ©Setback ❑ Buffer Zone ❑Lot Width 0 Other Bank Drive Through, and 20'setback from Pine Street The following questions reflect the criteria for granting this type of variance. Please complete them; use additional sheets if needed. 1. Whether an undesirable change will be produced in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby property will be created by the granting of this area variance? The proposed variances are consistent with the surrounding properties within the area. The variances allow for the efficient development of the parcel and allow for desirable tenants to grow and sustain the Main Street commercial corridor. 2. Whether the benefit sought by the applicant can be achieved by some method, feasible for the applicant to pursue, other than an area variance? A financial institution is a desirable tenant for the applicant and the Main Street corridor. Unfortunately a bank would not be feasible without a drive through facility. The existing properties are relatively narrow and when the setbacks are applied the developable area is limited. 3. Whether the requested area variance is substantial? The requested variance will have minimal impact on the surrounding properties. The proposed variances are consistent with the surrounding properties within the area. The variances allow for the efficient development of the parcel and allow for desirable tenants to grow and sustain the Main Street commercial corridor. 4, Whether the proposed variance will have an adverse effect or impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or district? The variances will not have an adverse affect or impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood as the proposed variances will allow for the development of the property to be consistent with surrounding uses. 5. Whether the alleged difficulty was self-created? The difficulty was not self-created as the building setback line will reduce the developable area and without the drive through the bank would not be feasible. 4 Area Variance Revised March 2014 Town of Queensbury•Zoning Office•742 Bay Road• Queensbury, NY 12804 -518-761-8238 Submittal of.a stamped and signed SURVEY MAP depicting existing and proposed conditions shall include the items as noted below.
