MOTION TO APPROVE AREA VARIANCE NO. 76-2002 JAMES J. GRANDE,
Introduced by Allan Bryant who moved for its adoption, seconded by Charles Abbate:
3222 Rt. 9L. The applicant proposes construction of an 892 square foot three car garage with an
attached 382 square foot dwelling which will replace an existing 400 square foot pre-existing,
nonconforming cottage which will definitely be removed upon approval of the application. The
relief requested, the applicant requests relief from the requirement allowing one single family
dwelling per lot in the areas zoned for single family dwellings, Section 179-4-01OC(6), and 418
square feet of relief from the 800 square foot minimum Floor Area requirement for a single
family dwelling, Section 179-5-090. The benefit to the applicant. The applicant would be
permitted to construct the desired structure in the preferred location. The feasible alternatives.
Feasible alternative includes constructing a garage within the allowable 900 square feet, which
this garage is within the 900 square feet, I think this actually applies to the original application,
and a 16 foot maximum height requirement, and thorough repairs bringing existing cabin up to
date. Another feasible alternative is eliminating the cabin, but I guess that's not too feasible. Is
this relief substantial relative to the Ordinance? An additional single-family dwelling could be
considered substantial relative to the Ordinance, 100%. However, keep in mind that there is an
additional single-family dwelling which pre-exists on the lot currently. So we're only replacing
Approval of the application means that the applicant can now apply for a Building Permit unless your lands
are Adirondack Park Jurisdictional or other approvals are necessary(such as review by the Queensbury
Planning Board.)

one with the other. The effects on the neighborhood or community are minimal, and is the
difficulty self-created? This difficulty may be interpreted as self-created. However, under the
circumstances, the applicant is attempting to bring his current property into better compliance,
and therefore I move that we approve this application.
