Dear Seavey Family Frust:
I ain writing you with regards to my review of the above-referenced project and to document the
recent conversations between your agent; Michael O'Connor and Laura Moore of my office.
As 1 understand your proposal; you are proposing construction of a 2,065 sq. ft. Single-Family
home and associated site improvements. 1 have reviewed your plan and find that both an Area
Variance and Site Plan Review will be required in order for your project to move forward as
proposed. Specifically, an Area Variance is needed as your proposed stntcture does not meet the
minimum property line setbacks of the Waterfront Residential; (WR) district. Site Plan review
by the Planning Board is required for the construction of a structure within 50 feet of a slope
gTeater than or equal to 15%.
This letter serves as your denial letter for the processing of your app Ii0ations.
Should you have any questions or cumments regarding your application, please do not hesitate to
contact this office.
Sincerely,
0��
Craig Brown
Zoning Administrator

Re: Seavey Family Trust

Tax Parcel 289.11-1-27
Folks:
Seavey Family Trust is purchasing a pre-existing lot that was created in the 1940's. It like most
of the lots along that stretch of Glen Lake is 50' wide, the original camp on the lot was
demolished.
Recently the Town Board, acting as the Board of Health, granted a septic variance allowing for
the use of holding tanks on the parcel.
The proposed home is a two bedroom residence 30' wide by 34' deep.
The home requires:
Side line setbacks each side - 9' variance of 3'
Shoreline set back to deck 22', to home is actually 34'.
The home is actually setback 12' from the front line of home to west and about 4' from
the home to the east; to put the house further back from the lake would prevent any
lateral views and put the home in a tunnel like location.

Permanentability will be 65.6% as opposed to required 75%; this lot is unique as 1320 sq.
ft., is stone driveways that serve neighbors to the east.
Applicant to mitigate is installing drywall to catch stormwater from the adjoining parcels.
The height of the home will be 29.45' from the natural grade; this is partially because of
depression of natural grade below peak of house; the actual height of the house from the floor to
peak is 26.96'.
There will be no negative impacts by the proposal.
Yours very truly,
