Application & Deed Structural Civil Municipal DANIEL W. RYAN P.E. Licensed Professional Engineer P.O. Box 596 • Glens Falls, NY • 12801 • (518) 792-9264 www.dwrpe.com Town of Queensbury June 15, 2022 742 Bay Road Queensbury, NY 12804 Attn: Laura Moore, Town Planner RE: Gianni Simone – 20 Apres Circle, Queensbury Project: Detached 30ft x 32ft Garage DWRPE represents the above Applicant regarding required project-related Town approvals. More specifically, the Applicant is planning to construct an approximately 30ft x 32ft detached two-car garage, to be installed on the property adjacent to the existing two-story dwelling/residence and in the general vicinity of the existing asphalt driveway. The Applicant proposes to construct a detached garage that will serve to provide additional parking for family members and their vehicles. The garage proposed is a 930sf footprint two-car garage with an attic for storage, and will be designed and finished to match the existing home. The Town code section 179-5-020-D allows for only one garage per dwelling, and as such a variance is required for the construction of a second garage. Because the project is residential in nature and no site changes are proposed (other than adding the garage structure and small area of connecting driveway) waivers are requested regarding the following application submission requirements;  Existing Site Plan with Water/Sewer/Utility Information  Lighting Specifications  Grading Plan & Boundary or Topographic Survey (existing boundary survey is included without topography)  Landscaping Specifications  Drainage and/or Stormwater Management Due to the nature of the application in that it is residential and falls within the definition of a Type II SEQRA Action (617.5(c)(1), 617.5(c)(2), & 617.5(c)(17)), from the perspective of SEQRA the project is believed to be exempt from review relative to the potential for resulting adverse impacts. Enclosed please find the following documents in support of the project and area variance application; 1. Area Variance Application 2. Deed 3. Existing Boundary Survey 4. Property Photos 5. Proposed Garage Construction Drawings 6. Existing Dwelling Floor Plans and Elevation 7. Plot Plan Drawing C-1 We request that the Application, if deemed complete, be placed upon the upcoming Zoning Board agendas for the July 2022 meeting dates if possible. Upon your initial review of the documentation, please contact me at your earliest convenience if you have any questions or require additional information. Sincerely, Daniel W. Ryan, P.E.
