Dear Ms.Cooper:
I am writing to you in response to my review of your recently submitted deck permit application.
I find that an Area Variance will be needed as the proposed location of the deck does not meet the
minimum side setback requirement. For projects such as this within the Moderate Density
Residential; (MDR) zone, a 25 ft_ side setback is required. You have the options of either
reducing the planned deck size or seeking an Area Variance for the deck size shown in your
application.
This letter serves as the denial letter for the processing of your variance application.
Should you have any questions regarding the above comments, please do not hesitate to contact
this office.
Sincerely,
Town of Queensbury
Craig Brown
