RB; Residential Addition Variance
Joseph and Cynthia Didio
Parcel: 523400 239.20-1-7
Dear Zoning Board,
Please review the following information and the reasons wby the proposed variance is needed
for the construction of a 525 square Foot addition on our property at 2966 State Rt. 9L on Dunham's
Bay in Lake George.
When we moved into the property in 2402, the carne had been owned by an elderly
couple who used it as a part-time camp and the limited living and odd sleeping space was not an issue.
My wife and I droved mio the camp as year around residents. Our children were not living with us so
we managed when they came to visit+
In more recent years our children have gotten married and have children. When they come to
visit we need to provide a safer, cleaner sleeping aria for the children and their parents and the existing
bedroorn (next to th,e mace room) can turned into a basement for storage.
What vire are proposing is to build a 525 square Foot addition over the living room and dining
room. It will remain a three bedroom house. This project will not adversely impact our property or
any neighbors' properties as we are not encroaching f n-ther on any lot setbacks nor impact any lake
views.
We live on a steep hill so since moving in extensive landscaping has been installed to stabilize
the previously mare slope.
As part of this project we request a survey waiver for pre and post conditions. We propose to
use the 2007 survey where the addition is on the second floor facing the lake and the setbacks to the
home will remain the same. Please note our project in 2007 before the board we greed to relocate the
loot tub area to be Further from the adjoining property and we removed the shoreline deck- the 2007
survey doesn't reflect the changes we-were asked to complete. These changes have been made.
We appreciate your time and consideration in the sanction of this variance. We mquest your
approval for this safe,attractive addition to the property that coincides with t1'ie surrounding
community.
Yours Truly,
Joseph Didio and Cyrahia Didio
