IN THE MATTER OF THE APPEAL OF /toft)
Scott and Lisa Grimmett
30 Joseph Street F-EB 0 5209
Saratoga Springs, NY 12866 ACcotj A i
i V TS n g-II
From a determination of the Building Inspector involving the premises located at 30 Joseph-Str ,eet in
the City of Saratoga Springs, New York, tax parcel number 165.82-1-74 on the Assessment Map, of
said City.
The Applicant having applied for an area variance under the Zoning Ordinance of said City to permit
the existing single-family residence to exceed the maximum lot coverage in a UR-2 District and public
notice having been duly given of hearings on said application held on January 7 and 28, 2019.
In consideration of the balance between benefit to the Applicant with detriment to the health, safety
and welfare of the community. I move that the following area variances for the following amount of
relief:
TYPE OF REQUIREMENT DISTRICT DIMENSIONAL PROPOSED RELIEF REQUESTED
REQUIREMENT
MAXIMUM PRINCIPAL BUILDING COVERAGE 30% I 30.7% 0.7% 2.3%
As per the submitted documents, or lesser dimensions, be APPROVED for the following reasons:
1. The Board finds the Applicant demonstrated the benefit sought cannot be achieved by other
means feasible to the Applicant. The residence has already been constructed and would require
the expenditure of significant capital to correct the error relating to the soffit overhangs.
Accordingly, the correction of the soffit overhangs is not feasible.
2. The Board finds the soffit overhang error to be minimal and will not have an undesirable change
in the neighborhood character or detriment to nearby properties.
3. The Board finds the relief requested for maximum principal building coverage of 0.7% or 2.3%
is not considered substantial.
4. The Board finds that the variances will not have significant adverse physical or environmental
effect on the neighborhood or district. The soffit overhangs project less than 6" into the
coverage area.
5. The alleged difficulty is self-created insofar as the Applicant, but this is not necessarily fatal to
the application.
It is so moved by B. Gallagher; seconded by C. Grey.
Adopted by the following vote:
AYES: 6 (B. Moore. K. Kaplan, B. Gallagher, S. Steer, C. Grey, R. Kern-Alt.)
NAYES:
Dated: January 28, 2019
I hereby certify the above to be a full,true and correct copy of a resolution duly adopted by the Zoning Board of
Appeals of the City of Saratoga Springs on the date above mentioned, six members of the Board being present.
