The Zoning Board of Appeals of the Town of Queensbury has received an application from James Trudeau.
Applicant proposes construction of a 120 sq. ft. deck addition to existing 100 sq. ft. deck at the back of the
home. Relief requested from the minimum property line setback requirements for the Waverly Place
Subdivsion.
Relief Required:
The applicant requests relief from the minimum property line setback requirements for the Waverly Place
Subdivision.
Section 179-4-040 Dimensional requirements, 179-12 PUD dimensional requirements
The applicant proposes a 120 sq ft deck addition to be located 17.0 ft to the rear property line where a 20 ft
setback is required.Note the lot is a corner lot with two fronts and two rears and no sides.
SEQR Type II —no further review required;
A public hearing was advertised and held on Wednesday,June 26, 2019;
Upon review of the application materials, information supplied during the public hearing, and upon
consideration of the criteria specified in Section 179-14-080(A) of the Queensbury Town Code and Chapter 267
of NYS Town Law and after discussion and deliberation, we find as follows:
PER THE DRAFT PROVIDED BY STAFF
1. There is not an undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood nor a detriment to nearby
properties. We're just simply extending a deck that already exists.
2. Feasible alternatives have been considered by the Board but are not deemed necessary at this particular
time.
3. The requested variance is not substantial. It's very minimal.
4. There is not an adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or district.
In fact the neighbors seemed in complete support of the project.
5. The alleged difficulty is not really self-created. It's a result of the property being on a corner.
6. In addition the Board finds that the benefit to the applicant from granting the requested variance would
outweigh (approval) the resulting detriment to the health, safety and welfare of the neighborhood or
community;
7. The Board also finds that the variance request under consideration is the minimum necessary;
8. The Board also proposes the following conditions:
a) Adherence to the items outlined in the follow-up letter sent with this resolution.
BASED ON THE ABOVE FINDINGS I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AREA VARIANCE NO. 24-
