Bureau Residence — 5 Chestnut Road — Glen Lake
This project is being reviewed due to a complaint filed regarding an existing covered entry porch
that was deteriorated and replaced and enclosed by the owner without a building permit. The
property was purchased by Steve & Tracey Bureau in 2016, when purchased the property was
severely overgrown and had been neglected for many years. The property was not owner
occupied and was used as a seasonal camp. The Bureau's have invested a significant amount
of time and money into the property to improve the landscaping, drainage, building and sewage
disposal systems. Large overgrown trees that were damaged were removed, overgrown grass
areas and dilapidated retaining walls were repaired and manicured. An existing shed at the
upper portion of the property that was in danger of collapse was removed and replaced with a
freestanding shed from Shed Stop, essentially an Amish Barn that is on skids, not permanently
affixed to foundations. Significant amounts of paved walkways were removed and replaced with
stepping stone and landscape stone beds to improve stormwater run-off. There are no post
lights, the main lighting on the property is ground mounted pathway lighting and wall mounted
exterior down lights with cut-off lenses.
The Planning Administrator indicates that the 3' x 7' bump out which contains the closet for the
master bedroom doesn't show up on the RPS however this was existing when the Bureau's
purchased the property in 2016. Also indicated by the Planning Administrator is the open deck
at the lake side of the building, it is indicated that the deck had new handrails installed which is
correct, the handrails that were on the open deck were dangerous and they were replaced with
new wood framing to prevent falls from the elevated deck surface. Additionally the owners did
stain the deck as well as they painted the entire residence when the property was purchased.
The owner's have taken it upon themselves to upgrade the sewage disposal system on this very
small lot to provide an on -site waste treatment system by Fuji -Clean, the system was reviewed
and variances granted by the Town Board of Health (BOH 23-2022) and the system was
installed in May of 2022.
The site is a very small, steep lot on Chestnut Road, the total parcel size is 8,416 SF (0.19
Acres) and in many cases the owners of properties of this size will seek variances for floor area
ratio, however in this case the Bureau's are well within the FAR requirements utilizing only 1,338
SF of total floor area for their permanent year round residence. Of this total space 463 SF of the
space is included in sheds that are not conditioned spaces and are used to store items that they
do not wish to be left outside.
The Bureau's do acknowledge that the enclosing of the previous covered porch should have
obtained a building permit prior to doing the work but at the time the work was done they were
not aware that a permit was necessary to enclose the existing porch structure that was severely
deteriorated. The work that has been done has been reviewed by the code enforcement office
of the Town and they have indicated that once the project has been reviewed by the planning
and zoning boards that a certificate of occupancy can be issued for the residential addition.

Response to A-O Standards — Bureau Residence — 5 Chestnut Road
The following are responses to questions A thru O of the site plan review standards.
A. The project is an existing single-family residence with an existing detached storage shed. The project is
consistent with the Town's Comprehensive Plan and is being reviewed due to a complaint filed with the building
department for the enclosing of an existing covered entry porch without building permit.
B. The project may require variances from the requirements of 179-3-040 including side yard setback for a closet
extension that was part of the structure when purchased in 2016 by the current owner. These variances have
been applied for though the Town Zoning Board of Appeals.
C. The site is a single-family residence and therefore pedestrian activities are limited.
D. The current sewage disposal system has been updated in May of 2022 to an on -site waste treatment package
and this system has been reviewed and approved by the Town Board of Health. (BOH 23-2022)
E. The existing use is a single-family residence in the WR zone and is in keeping with the surrounding homes in the
area.
F. The property driveway access is existing and therefore little additional traffic is anticipated in or around the subject
parcel.
G. Off street parking is provided as depicted and the existing driveway is in conformance with the Town
requirements.
H. Steps have been taken to minimize any adverse effects on the environment. The property was in serious disrepair
when purchased by the current owner and the property is the main, year round residence of the owner.
I. The site is accessed from Chestnut Road, a Town Road.
J. Steps have been taken to manage the roof and pavement drainage through stone infiltration trenches at the
eaves and all around the parking and walkway areas. The percolation rate of the soil is very good, and the soil
make-up is mainly medium sands and gravel and the ground water location is at least 60" below existing ground
surface at the proposed infiltration devices.
K. Existing water supply is drawn from the lake as are the adjoining properties. A compliant sewage disposal system
for the existing residence is shown.
L. The existing lot is well planted with trees and shrubs and will be maintained as this is the permanent residence of
the owners.
M. The existing site is on a Town Road, Chestnut Road, and is adequate for emergency vehicle access.
N. All existing work has been done to prevent ponding, flooding and/or erosion and there are no current issues with
the site drainage since the property has been owned by the Bureaus.
O. The site plan takes as many steps as possible to conform to all design standards and reduce the environmental
impact as much as possible for the project. Existing lighting is recessed downcast fixtures with cut-off lenses
mounted at the personnel entrances to the proposed single-family residence and ground mounted fixtures at the
walkways throughout the property
