IN THE MATTER OF THE APPEAL, OF
Anthony Dawson/Moto Holdings, Inc. A C0UNTS DEPARTMENT
SARATOGA SPRINGS,NY 12866
From the determination of the Building Inspector involving the premises at a vacant lot on Cobb Alley
in the City of Saratoga Springs,NY,being tax parcel number 165.66-2-70.1 on the Assessment Map of said
City. The Applicant having applied for an area variance to permit demolition of an existing scrap yard and
construction of a new single-family residence and seeking relief as described below in the Urban Residential—
3 District and public notice having been duly given of a hearing on said application March 19 and April 9 and
23, 2018.
In consideration of the balance between the benefit to the Applicants with detriment to the health,
safety and welfare of the community, I move that the following variance for the following amount of relief
(the Board has reviewed Section 5.5 of the Zoning Ordinance with Counsel and has determined that no
relief for minimum lot size and minimum average lot width may be required for this lot):
Type of Requirement District Dimensional Proposed Relief Requested
Requirement
Min. lot size: 6,600 sq. ft. 2,500 sq. ft. 4,100 sq. ft. (62%)
Min. average lot 60 ft. 50 ft. 10 ft. (17%)
width:
Min. rear yard 25 ft. 7.5 ft. 17.5 ft. (70%)
setback:
Min. front yard 10 ft. .5 ft. 9.5 ft. (95%)
setback:
Max. principal
building coverage: 300/0 50% 20% (67%)
As per the submitted plans or lesser dimensions, BE APPROVED for the following reasons:
1. The applicants have demonstrated this benefit cannot be achieved by other means feasible to the
applicants. The existing lot is lawful preexisting nonconforming to the lot requirements in the
district. As the application states, "When seeking designs for each single lot it was not feasible
under current zoning requirements to construct any building". The applicant indicated that to
provide for the required two parking spaces for a single-family residence in the district the
proposed first floor area is at a minimum 1,253 sq. ft. including the attached garage.
2. The applicants have demonstrated that granting this variance will not produce an undesirable
change in neighborhood character or detriment to the nearby properties. As the application
indicates,the existing use of the property as a scrapyard predates the City's Zoning Ordinance and
is no longer in keeping with the current character of the neighborhood, which is primarily
residential. The removal and demolition of this portion of the scrapyard(nonconforming use) and
replacement with a single-family residence (permitted use) would result in a positive change to the
neighborhood.
The applicant has provided an analysis of existing lot sizes and principal building coverages in the
neighborhood and has demonstrated that the existing lot size and principal building coverage
proposed for the new residence is not inconsistent with the surrounding neighborhood.
Finally,the Board notes that the property is located within a Historic District and Historic Review
by the Design Review Commission is required.
3. The request for relief to permit a single-family residence on the existing lot is considered
substantial; however,the lot is preexisting nonconforming with the district requirements and the
applicant has demonstrated that the proposed size of the proposed structure (principal building
coverage) and relationship to property lines is the minimum variance necessary per the applicant
and noted by the Board.
4. The Applicant has demonstrated that granting this variance will not have an adverse physical or
environmental effect on the neighborhood. The removal of the existing scrapyard and replacement
with a single-family residence represents a positive environmental impact to the neighborhood.
The applicant has indicated that the residence would produce less traffic counts and less overall
impact to the existing alley. Finally,the proposed site to remain permeable is in excess of the
minimum 25%required.
5. The request for relief may be considered a self-created hardship due to the applicant's desire to
construct a single-family residence at the dimensions proposed. However, self-creation is not
necessarily fatal to the application.
Notes:
1. DRC Historic Review for demolition and construction required
2. Applicant must comply with 17 NYCRR Part 32 - Oil Spill Prevention and Control - Actions To Be
Taken In Case Of Discharge, if applicable (attached).
3. Applicant must comply with 6 NYCRR Part 360.13 - Special Requirements For Pre-Determined
Beneficial Use Of Fill Material, if applicable (attached).
Conditions:
1. Submit for review and approval by the City Engineer- Grading plan,utilities plan, erosion and
sediment control plan, water connection application, right-of-way work cost estimate and letter of credit.
2. No accessory structures are permitted
3. Structure is required to be sprinkled per Fire Chiefs recommendation
Adopted by the following vote:
AYES: 4 (K. Kaplan, A. McNeill, B. Gallagher, 0. Ludd)
NAYES: 2 (J. Helicke, C. Grey)
RECUSAL: 1 (B. Moore)
Dated: April 23, 2018
This variance shall expire 18 months following the filing date of such decision unless the necessary
building permit has been issued and actual construction begun as per 240-8.5.1.
