Dear Mr. White:
I arty writing to you in response to my review of your recently submitted building permit
application.
I find that an Area Variance will be needed in order for you to proceed with your project.
Specifically, the location of the existing, previously unpermitted deck and the proposed parch do
not meet the minimum rear setback requirement that was in place when this lot was created as
part of the Van Howe subdivision. With your architectural entrance on Queens Lane, the
opposite side of the building is the rear yard. The applicable rear yard setback requirement is 20
ft, It appears as though the existing deck is approximately 5 ft. from the property line and the
proposed porch would be approximately L 8 ft. from the property line.
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

Town of Queensbury,
Our neighbors, Melinda and Michael White, who live directly across
the street, are proposing to add an enclosed porch on part of their existing
deck and apparently require a variance to proceed with the construction. We
are in full support of their plans and strongly believe that this porch will not
only enhance their property but would add value to the neighboring
properties as well. We are hoping that a variance will be granted for their
enclosed porch.
If you have any questions,please do not hesitate to call or write us.
Thank you in advance for allowing us to voice our support for this variance.
Sincerely yours,
October 11, 2018

Town of Queensbury
We own and reside in the home at 19 Pinion Pine Lane, directly opposite from the
home at 20 Pinion Pine Lane owned by Michael and Melinda White. We have seen
their plans to add an enclosed porch to their existing deck which apparently requires
a variance from the town to proceed. We believe that this structure will enhance the
appearance of their property as well as the neighborhood in general, so we are
writing to express our approval and support for this variance.
Please feel free to contact us at any time if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
V,
