Re: Revised Area Variance and Site Plan Review Application Submission
Seely— 14 Crooked Tree Drive
Dear Mr. Traver:
Dear Mr. Jac koski:
As you are aware we have recently submitted similar applications to your Boards on behalf of
Katharine Soalye. In fact, we received a ZBA approval on August 23rd and were avraiting our
appearance before the PB on September 1911,
Since then,the applicant has become aware that the dimension of the proposed additlon should have
been 16' x 16' instead of the 145 x 16' applied for previously, While this 15 won't change the
setback previously approved (50') Craig Brown felt the applications should go back to the Boards
because of this change. The applicant sincerely regrets any Inconvenience this causes the Boards
but she felt very strongly that the dimensions of the addition were correct for her future use.
As a result, submitted for yow distribution and review are 15 sets of the applicable Area Variance and
Site Plan Review application documents for the referenced project located off of Rt. 9L. The subject
property consists of a lawful nonconforming single-family residence (shoreline setback). The
proposed project involves an approximate 256 sf expansion of the residence.
We will be seeking ars area variance for the expansion of the lawful, nnnconforming residence which
will result in a shoreline setback of 0' (75' required). Note that the shoreline setback for the existing
structure is 33'. All required application documents including site plans, architectural plans, AV
application, deed, survey and application fee have been compiled in the AV package.
