Area Variance Resolution To: Approve
Applicant Name: Sterling Home Solutions
File Number: AV 56-2022
Location: 196 Pitcher Rd.
Tax Map Number: 308.15-1-4
ZBA Meeting Date: October 26, 2022
The Zoning Board of Appeals of the Town of Queensbury has received an application from Sterling Home
Solutions. Applicant proposes a 224 sq. ft. sunroom addition to the existing home. The existing home is 1,344
sq. ft. and has a front porch/deck area of 165 sq. ft. The rear deck is to be removed and replaced with the
sunroom. Relief requested for setbacks.
Relief Required:
The applicant requests relief for setbacks for sunroom addition. The property is located in the MDR zone on a
0.88 ac parcel, noting the parcel has frontage on Pitcher and Corinth Road where access to the home is only
from Pitcher Road.
Section 179-3-040 dimensions
The proposed sunroom is to be 19.4 ft. from the west setback where a 30 ft. setback is required.
SEQR Type II — no further review required;
A public hearing was advertised and held on Wednesday, October 26, 2022 .
Upon review of the application materials, information supplied during the public hearing, and upon
consideration of the criteria specified in Section 179-14-080(A) of the Queensbury Town Code and Chapter 267
of NYS Town Law and after discussion and deliberation, we find as follows:
1. There is not an undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood nor a detriment to nearby properties
because it's a beautiful place and it's something that's already there and it's really minimal.
2. Feasible alternatives have been considered and are really not reasonable. This is probably the best spot for
it.
3. The requested variance is not substantial because it's already replacing an existing deck and it's a minimal
expansion.
4. There is not an adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or district.
5. Like it or not, the alleged difficulty is self-created.
6. In addition, the Board finds that the benefit to the applicant from granting the requested variance would
outweigh (approval) the resulting detriment to the health, safety and welfare of the neighborhood or
community;
7. The Board also finds that the variance request under consideration is the minimum necessary;
8. The Board also proposes the following conditions:
a) Adherence to the items outlined in the follow-up letter sent with this resolution.
BASED ON THE ABOVE FINDINGS, I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AREA VARIANCE NO. 56-
2022, Introduced by Richard Cipperly, who moved for its adoption, seconded by James Underwood:
Duly adopted this 2611 Day of October 2022 by the following vote:
