The current location is the only logical location where a shed could be placed on our property, and we did not know we neecleka variance for it. We apologize for the oversight. We thought it was a compliant location because our contractor,who also built our house 11 years ago,told us no variances or permits were necessary. We trusted him, since he obtained all necessary permits when he built our house 11 years ago. Requiring us to move the shed would create financial and practical hardship for us. There is no other location on our property where the shed could be placed (See Attachment A and Survey). Removal of the shed would be expensive,disruptive to the neighborhood,and would leave us with no place for storage (See Attachment A). Please note that all our neighbors who reside on Gunn Lane support the proposed variance, and have signed the enclosed petition to show their support. In addition to signing the petition, our immediate neighbors on either side, Rosemary Faulkner and Rob and Lona Nonni, have written letters in support of the shed setback variance. Again,we regret and apologize for not realizing we needed a variance for the shed before it was built. In light of our situation,we respectfully request your approval of this setback variance now. We appreciate all your work on behalf of the town Sincerely, 31A0f - Pam Altman and Guy Johnson ./. 1111W TOWN OF LIE Q ENSBURY 742 Bay Road, Queensbury, NY. 12804-5902 J July 25, 2013 Guy Johnson and Pamela Altman 10 Lookout Drive Ledgewood, NJ 07852 Re: Notice of Violation -Order to Remedy for Violation of the Accessory Structure Setback Requirements for the Waterfront Residential Zone of the Queensbury Zoning Code at 24 Gunn Lane (Parcel #227.17-1-20) Dear Guy Johnson and Pamela Altman: This letter serves as a "Notice of Violation - Order to Remedy" for a violation of the Accessory Structures setback requirements for the Waterfront Residential zone for your accessory structure at your 24 Gunn Lane property (see attached copy of §179-5- 020B l a and §179-3-040A5b2 of the Queensbury Zoning Code).

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? 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? 3.

Town of Queensbury •Zoning Office• 742 Bay Road • Queensbury, NY 12804• 518-761-8238 4 ATTACHMENT A Compliance with Zoning Ordinance Need relief from Setback requirement,which cannot be met 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? By providing an attractive shed to store unsightly lawnmowers, bicycles,gardening supplies,and quads,the shed improves the character of the neighborhood and is thus appreciated by neighboring property owners on either side, up and down the street(as stated by all the neighboring homeowners who signed the petition submitted with this form). The shed was designed to match the house,with natural red wood siding and a green roof that blend in nicely with the natural Adirondack environment. To further beautify the view from the street, red brick pavers were laid between the shed and the street. The whole purpose of the shed was to improve the character of the property and the neighborhood by providing an attractive structure to store the items out of view. 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?There is no other location on our property where the shed could be placed. The other side of the driveway is a leach field for the septic system, which prevents placement there. The other side of the house is shoreline, which prevents placement there. There is not enough space to store the items in our small garage. The only other options to the shed being in its current location would be a) to leave the stored items out,which would be unsightly and leave the items unprotected, or b) to store them in a trailer, which was considered but ruled out because it would be an unattractive eyesore. Without the proposed variance,we would have to remove the shed, which would create financial and practical hardship for us. 3. Whether the requested area variance is substantial? The variance area requested is 19-20 feet. Again,we respectfully apologize for mistakenly building the shed without knowing that it was not in compliance. Our contractor,who is the same contractor who built our house 11 years ago, built the shed for us and told us that it was within code and did not require a building permit. We trusted him,as we trusted him to build our house,which he built according to all applicable laws and codes and sought variances when necessary. 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 variance would have positive effects on the physical and environmental conditions. We care deeply about protecting the beauty, quality,and ecology of the entire lake ecosystem. We have never used fertilizers or pesticides on our property. We have always carefully made sure that all plantings on our property are native, non-invasive species. We diligently maintain our septic system and our boat to prevent any possibility ATTACHMENT A CONTINUED of lake contamination. We built the storage shed in its current location because it has the least impact on the lake in that spot,since it is as far from the lake as possible. The proposed variance has no adverse effect on the lake or the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood. On the contrary, as stated in #1 and #2 above,the proposed variance would allow us to keep the attractive structure where it is, which adds to the beauty of the property and the neighborhood,and protects the lake by keeping the shed as far from the lake as possible. NOT having the proposed variance would have an adverse effect on the neighborhood, and would be a detriment to nearby property,as they would have to see supplies covered with a tarp, or an unsightly storage trailer parked in it's place. 5. Whether the alleged difficulty was self-created? The situation is that we need storage and there is no other place on our property where a storage shed could be placed. This situation is not self-created; rather, it is the result of the small size of our property. The tact that we built the shed without applying for a variance was our mistake,which was self-created in so much as we trusted our contractor without checking for ourselves. We take responsibility for our mistake,and respectfully apologize for our oversight. We are requesting that a variance be granted now, in light of our situation. Permeability: We are at 29% permeability. The shed made no substantial change in the permeability. At the time the house was built, the permeability requirement was 30%. We are still less than that requirement. Buffer Zone: We already have an ample buffer zone by the lake. Over half of our lakefront has a natural berm,and we have 9 trees/shrubs along the shoreline as well.

I find their storage shed to be an appealing structure which adds to the overall ambiance of Gunn Lane. I also feel the structure and its contents do not have an environmentally negative impact. Actually, I cannot imagine a better or safer location for this shed. I sincerely ask the Board to grant this variance. Respectfully submitted, _ Rosemary M.Faulkner Robert and Lona Nonni 22 Gunn Lane Cleverdale, New York 12820 518-656-3004 robnonni @gmail.com October 26, 2013 Zoning Board of Appeals Town of Queensbury 742 Bay Road Queensbury, New York 12804 Attention: Mr. Steve Jackoski, Chairman Dear Steve, We reside at 22 Gunn Lane in Cleverdale, and our home is adjacent to the Johnson property at 24 Gunn Lane. We would like to voice our opinion regarding the placement of the storage shed constructed by the Johnsons on their property. We have no objection to the placement of the storage shed; and we wish to support the Johnsons request for a setback variance allowing it to remain in its current location. The shed was professionally constructed to match the style and color of the Johnson's home. It adds to the charm of Gunn Lane, and enables the Johnsons to store items that would otherwise be left outside. The placement of the shed does not block or impede visibility for safe passage on Gunn Lane. We do not believe that there was an alternative location where the shed could have been placed. We hope that the Zoning Board of Appeals will consider and approve the Johnson's request. If further information is needed, please contact us at the telephone or email address shown on the letterhead, above. Thank you for the work you do to protect the interests of homeowners in our town. Sincerely, .,/ -e-;' ?'7/-7 (2&171_t•t_ *)?1 --)1 v-ivrt..(,. Robert G. Nonni Lona M. Nonni cc/Guy and Pam Johnson PETITION TO SAVE THE BEAUTIFUL SHED AT 24 GUNN LANE IN CLEVERDALE We, the residents of Gunn Lane, request a setback variance to allow the beautiful storage shed at 24 Gunn Lane to stay in its current location. We appreciate the investment the Johnsons made on the shed, because it is an attractive structure that gets their lawn mowers, quads & gardening supplies out of view. We appreciate that the shed was tastefully designed with red wood shingles and a green roof to match their house & blend in with the natural Adirondack beauty of our street. The current location is the only logical location they could put a shed on their property, and they did not realize they needed a variance for this location. We appreciate that the shed was placed where it is, because that location has no negative impact on the environment, as it is as far as possible from the lake. Any other location would negatively impact the environment, would look terrible and out of place, and would require more significant variances for being along the shoreline.

We appreciate the investment the Johnsons made on tl shed, because it is an attractive structure that gets their lawn mowers, quads & gardening supplies out of view. We appreciate the shed was tastefully designed with red wood shingles and a gr roof to match their house & blend in with the natural Adirondack beauty of our street. The current location is the only logical locati they could put a shed on their property, and they did not realize tf needed a variance for this location. We appreciate that the shed placed where it is, because that location has no negative impact c the environment, as it is as far as possible from the lake. Any otr. location would negatively impact the environment, would look terr and out of place, and would require more significant variances for being along the shoreline.
