IN THE MATTER OF THE APPEAL OF
Robert Marzoli
109 Fifth Avenue
Saratoga Springs NY 12866
from the determination of the Building Inspector involving the premises at 109 Fifth Ave. in the City of
Saratoga Springs,New York being tax parcel number 166.14-4-8 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
construction of a window egress and escape well from the basement of a single-family residence in a UR-1
District; and public notice having been duly given of a hearing on said application held on the 18th day of March
and 8th day of April 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 variance for the following amounts of relief:
REQUIREMENT DISTRICT PROPOSED RELIEF
DIMENSIONAL REQ. REQUESTED
MAXIMUM PRINCIPAL BUILDING COVERAGE 20% 21.4% 1.4%(7%)
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 Board notes that the property has preexisting nonconformity with lot coverage requirements. This
application does not call for any material expansion beyond the said preexisting nonconforming coverage.
2. The applicants have demonstrated that granting this variance would not create an undesirable change in
neighborhood character or detriment to nearby properties. The proposed addition will be barely visible from
the street, and does not crowd neighboring properties.
3. The Board finds this variance to be insubstantial on a percentage basis.
4. The variance will not have an adverse physical or environmental effect on the neighborhood or district, as
the footprint will change minimally at coverage of 21.4%.
5. The alleged difficulty is nominally self-created insofar as the applicant desires to construct the proposed
addition,but this is not necessarily fatal to the application.
Condition: This motion granting the variance sought is conditioned upon an understanding that any future
accessory structure(s)on the existing lot may not exceed 6.6%of the lot area.
Adopted by the following vote:
AYES: 5 (B. Moore, K. Kaplan, C. Grey, J. Luhn, C. Hemstead)
NAYE S: 0
Dated: April 8, 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, five members of the Board being present.
