FLOOR AREA RATIO WORKSIIEET
Any construction,addition or replacement of structures in the Waterfront Residential Zones(WR-lA &WR-
3A) is subject to the Floor Area Ratio requirements as defined in Section 179-16 of the Town of Queensbury
Zoning Ordinance.
Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is the relationship of building size to lot size derived by dividing the total building
square footage by the lot size in squarc feet, yielding a percentage. The maximum allowable FAR is 22
percent.
*#Please note that FAR requirements are separate and distinct from the permeable area requirements that
may apply.
Building square footage includes all floors of the primary structure,covered porches,and basements(when at
least three (3) feet in height of one (1) wall is exposed and the space meets the living space requirements as
defined in Section 711 and 712 of the NYS Building Code — see reverse side of pace. Detached storage
buildings greater than 100 sq. It. and detached garages are so included in the FAR calculations. Building
square footage does not include: open decks, docks and that portion of covered docks extending into the
water,and one shed 100 sq. ft.or less. All additional sheds arc included in the FAR calculations.

Please complete them, using additional sheets if needed.
1. How would you benefit from the granting of this Area Variance? A pre-existing
non-conforming condition would be brought into compliance for setback.
Number of accessory buildings would be decreased.
2. What effect would this variance have on the character of the neighborhood and the
health,safety, and welfare of the community? Guest cottage already exists so
there would be no negative impact on the character of the neighborhood
or the health safety and welfare of the community.
3. Are there feasible alternatives to this variance? No - the guest cottage is no
being enlarged; it is simply being moved and combined with an otherwise
compliant garage. The only alternative would be to remodel niece-meal.
where it is, and build a separate garage
4. Is the amount of relief substantial relief relative to the Ordinance? No - a Quest
cottage of this size already exists; allowing it to be moved does not
create anything new.
5. Will the variance have an adverse effect or impact on the physical or environmental
conditions in the neighborhood or district? No - this cabin by nla ement, is
not visible from the Lake; given the size and deed restrictions against
renting it approval will not affect the density of use .of this Take_
