An AREA VARIANCE is a request for modification of the dimensional
standards contained in the Zoning Ordinance, such as yard requirements, setback
lines, lot coverage, frontage requirements or density regulations, in order that
the property may be utilized for one of the uses permitted by the Zoning Ordinance.
The applicant must demonstrate that strict application of the regulations would
cause practical difficulty. In making a determination of practical difficulty, the
Zoning Board of Appeals may consider:
A. How substantial the variation is in relation to the requirement.
B. The potential effect of increased density on public facilities and services.
C. Whether the variance will cause a substantial change in the character of
the neighborhood.
D. Whether the difficulty can be feasibly mitigated by some other method.
The Zoning Board of Appeals may grant the minimum relief necessary to allow
reasonable use of the land in question.
Please answer the following questions. Attach additional sheets if necessary.
• 13. Are there special conditions applying to this property or building, and not applying
generally to other properties or buildings in the neighborhood?
14. Would strict application of the provisions of this Ordinance deprive the applicant
of the reasonable use of the land or buildings?
15. Would the strict application of the dimensional requirements result in a specified
practical dif f iculty? �"C-As.i >L.�' �;t'%�,2•-
16. Would this variance be materially detrimental to the purposes of this Ordinance,
or to property in the dr-i�strict?
17. Is this request the minimum relief necessary to alleviate the specified practical
difficulty? �c4fvst `' - ATi-riCr+U`i 5 ++[--yr

Item 10) QuickLube ten minute oil change centers specialize in
automotive fluid maintenance services. We perform no engine
repair or autobody repair of any kind. Our base service consists
of a 17 point - 10 minute oil, lube, oil filter, fluid check and
rollover car wash service. In actuality, the service takes
between seven and twelve minutes depending on the make and model
of the car.
We do perform several additional fluid maintenance
services; transmission fluid changes, differential fluid changes,
radiator flushes, and fuel injector flushes. These services take
no more than 30 minutes and comprise less than 10% of our car
volume. All of the services are performed without an appointment,
no cars are ever allowed to be left overnight on the site, and
customers must wait with their cars while their cars are
serviced.
The projected car volume at this site is 45-50 cars per day.
Customers will enter the property and drive to the rear of the
building. An employee will greet the customer and pull the car
into the service center. The customer will walk into the waiting
and remain there until their service is completed. Because of
the no appointment/while you wait nature of the business, no
. customer parking is required. None the less, two customer
parking spaces have been provided as a conservative measure.
This center will operate with 4-5 employees, 7 parking spaces
have been provided to the rear of the huildino.

Item 13) The unique, triangular shape of the property makes
parking in the site virtually impossible at present, the only
available on site parking is in the front of the existing
building. This creates a hazardous situation when cars are
forced to back out of the space and obstruct traffic entering the
site. QuickLube will eliminate this difficulty.
Item 14) Yes, strict application of the ordinance as is pertains
to parking would render the premises completely unusable and,
therefore, unmarketable.
Item 15) The dimensions of individual parking spaces do not pose
a difficulty.
Item 16) The variance would allow the QuickLube operation which
would, in turn, significantly improve the property and,
therefore, improve the neighborhood.
Item 17) The site plan proposes the minimum relief necessary.

Application Number. Area Variance No 43-1990
Applicant's Name: Quick Lube David Leman
Meeting Date: May 23 1990
The applicant is requesting a variance from Section 7.072 (Off Street Parking) of
the Zoning Ordinance. The Zoning Administrator has determined that a variance is
necessary because not all of the parking is provided on site. Sections 7.070, 7.071, and
7.072 of the Ordinance address off street parking. No where in these sections does it
state that all parking must be provided on site.
The applicant should provide a copy of the lease agreement with Niagara Mohawk
for the use of their land. This lease should be of a length appropriate to guarantee adequate
parking for as long as this use is at this location.
Adequacy of the number of parking spaces will be determined by the Planning Board,
(as per Section 7.071) since this use is not specified in Section 7.072.

Turner who moved for its adoption, seconded by Joyce Eggleston:
For parking and this has been addressed by the lease agreement with Niagra Mohawk
and this would take care of the off -site parking. The Short EAF shows no negative
impact and a copy of the lease agreement with Niagra Mohawk is in the file with
Variance 42-1990 and that the Variance runs for the term of the lease. Because
of the unique circumstances of this lot, we are allowing the leased land to provide
the off -site parking.

AYES: Mr. Kelley, Mr. Shea, Mrs. Goetz, Mrs. Eggleston, Mr. Carr, Mr. Turner
NOES: NONE

Section 10.070 Expiration of Variance Decision by Zoning Board of Appeals
Unless otherwise specified or extended by the Zoning Board of Appeals,
decision on any request for a variance shall expire if the applicant fails
to undertake the proposed action or project, to obtain any necessary building
permit to construct any proposed new building(s) or change any existing
building(s), or to comply with the conditions of said authorization within
one (1) year from the filing date of such decision thereof.
Section 10.060 Variance Application Hearing and Decision.
C. For decisions involving lands within the Adirondack Park, the Board
shall notify the Adirondack Park Agency, by certified mail of such
decision. Any variance granted or granted with conditions shall not
be effective until thirty (30) days after such notice to the Agency.
If, within such thirty (30) day period, the Agency determines that such
variance involves the provisions of the Land Use and Development Plan
as approved in the local land use program, including any shoreline restriction,
and was not based upon the appropriate statutory basis of practical difficulties
or unnecessary hardships, the Agency may reverse the local determination
to grant the variance.
