ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS APPLICATION FORM PAGE 6
AREA VARIANCE—PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING(add additional information as necessary):
The applicant requests relief from the following Zoning Ordinance article(s)
Dimensional Requirements From To
Lot Size(Pre-existing condition) 6,600 sf 5,900 sf
Minimum Avg Lot Width (Pre-existing condition) 60 ft 50 ft
Maximum Accessory Structure 10% 14.3%
Other:
The Owner's desire is to bring the pre-existing, non-conforming two-family residence into greater conformance.
To grant an area variance,the ZBA must balance the benefits to the applicant and the health,safety,and welfare of the neighborhood and
community,taking into consideration the following:
. Whether the benefit sought by the applicant can be achieved by other feasible means. Identify what alternatives to the variance have
been explored (alternative designs,attempts to purchase land, etc.)and why they are not feasible.
The Lot Size and Lot Width are pre-existing, non-conforming conditions that cannot be achieved by other feasible means. The
maximum accessory structure lot coverage cannot be met by other feasible means because the Owner's desire is to provide
covered storage for their vehicles and belongings in the garage, and provide a pool for outdoor entertainment. The two property
elements serve different purposes, but fall within the same category of accessory structure. The garage is the minimum size
possible to pull in the Owner's two vehicles and still provide storage for mower, snow blower and other equipment. The pool is a
small pool, 11'x22'with an integrated hot tub spa within the footprint, so is also designed at a minimum practical size.
2. Whether granting the variance will produce an undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby
properties. Granting the variance will not create a detriment to nearby properties or an undesirable change in the neighborhood
character for the following reasons:
The design of the house, garage and outdoor living areas are in-character with the properties within the neighborhood Approval
of the variances will allow a realignment of pre-existing, non-conforming structures, bringing the structures into compliance with
the setback requirements. The pool &outdoor living space approvals are sought as part of the owners' desire to enjoy the outdoor
environment of their property, and with professional design and installation, incorporate landscape and hardscape features that
improve the character of this corner lot for the neighborhood.
Revised 01/2019
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS APPLICATION FORM PAGE 7
3. Whether the variance is substantial. The requested variance is not substantial for the following reasons:
The variances are not substantial. The lot size &lot frontage have been pre-existing, non-conforming for over 100-years. The
accessory structure overage of 4.3% is not substantial because the combined principal + accessory structure lot coverage is only
32.1%, under the allowable 40% lot coverage. The use as a one-family with apartment is a legal pre-existing, non-conforming use
and shall continue unchanged. The purpose of this application is to bring the residence into greater conformance with the zoning
code.
4. Whether the variance will have adverse physical or environmental effects on neighborhood or district. The requested variance will not
have an adverse physical or environmental effect on the neighborhood or district for the following reasons:
The requested lot coverage variance will not have an adverse physical impact on the neighborhood because the area of the
pool + garage+ house fall within required guidelines of 40% maximum lot coverage. The surrounding landscape will provide
visual buffers and improved aesthetic appearance to the neighborhood environment. The construction of the garage will allow
two-cars to be removed from the sides of the street for winter-cleanup and the Saratoga racing season.
5. Whether the alleged difficulty was self-created(although this does not necessarily preclude the granting of an area variance).Explain
whether the alleged difficulty was or was not self-created:
The alleged difficulty is self-created. There is no requirement that Owners reconstruct or improve their property aside from
regular maintenance and safety. It is possible to leave the two-family residence and 3/4 car garage as-is. The self-created
difficulty should not preclude the granting of the area variance since the requested variances are not substantial, the designs and
owner-occupancy are in-character with the neighborhood, and the residential use of the property will not have a negative impact
on the physical environment of the neighborhood.
