The following questions reflect the criteria for granting this type of variance. Please complete them; use additional sheets if
needed.
1. Whether an undesirable change will be produced in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to
nearby property will be created by the granting of this area variance?
No, an undesirable change will not be produced in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to the nearby property.
The neighboring parcels views will not be obstructed by the shoreline setback and the setbacks will not encroach on the
neighboring parcels any further than as they exist currently.
2. Whether the benefit sought by the applicant can be achieved by some method, feasible for the applicant
to pursue, other than an area variance?
No, the requested area variance cannot be achieved by some other method. The house is an existing non-confonning
structure that is maintaining a similar footprint. It is not economically feasible to move the entire house location to avoid this
variance.
3. Whether the requested area variance is substantial?
The requested variances are not substantial, the side yard setback is maintained, and the shoreline setback is only being
increased by 3 feet (from 49 feet to 46 feet) from the existing. Many improvements are being made on site to limit runoff
entering into Lake George, along with and enhanced shoreline buffer.
4. Whether the proposed variance will have an adverse effect or impact on the physical or environmental
conditions in the neighborhood or district?
The proposed construction with have a positive impact on the physical and environmental conditions with proper
stormwater management devices installed on site and additional plantings.
5. Whether the alleged difficulty was self-created?
The shoreline setback are not self created, the 46' proposed setback is maintained on the existing structure that is lawful
nonconforming, the average distances of the two neighboring parcels is 53.75 feet, which adds additional setback relief from
the typical 50 foot setback requirement in this zone.
