IN THE MATTER OF THE APPEAL OF
Patrick and Marion Roohan
5 Iroquois Dr
Saratoga Springs NY 12866
from the determination of the Building Inspector involving the premises at 5 Iroquois Dr. in the City of
Saratoga Springs,New York being tax parcel number 166.14-3-67 on the Assessment Map of said City.
This being an application for an area variance under the Zoning Ordinance of said City to permit the
construction of an addition to an existing single-family residence in a UR-1 District and public notice
having been duly given of a hearing on said application held on the 4ch and 251h days of April 2022.
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 REQUIREMENT PROPOSED RELIEF REQUESTED
MAX. PRINCIPAL COVERAGE 20% 28.1% $.I%OR 40.5%
MINIMUM REAR YARD SETBACK 30' 18.7' 11.3' OR 37.7%
As per the submitted plans or lesser dimensions, be approved for the following reasons:
1. The applicant has demonstrated this benefit cannot be achieved by other means feasible to the
applicant. Per the applicant, the proposal was derived after several renderings, given it
stylistically mirrors the home while only expanding the current footprint minimally. The
applicants further note there are no contiguous lands for sale.
2. The applicant has demonstrated that granting this variance will not create an undesirable change
in neighborhood character or detriment to nearby properties. The Board notes that the addition is
to the rear of the residence,thereby reducing the visual impact of the proposed addition. The
board neighboring properties and improvements were provided indicating the proposal is within
neighborhood context.
3. The Board finds the variance to be substantial, but the substantiality is mitigated by the lack of
visual impact as noted above. Additionally, the board has conditioned limiting accessory
structures beyond the pool contemplated in the submitted plans; please see below.
4. These variances will not have significant adverse physical or environmental effect on the
neighborhood or district. Permeability requirements will be met under this proposal.
5. The alleged difficulty is self-created insofar as the applicant desires to construct the proposed
addition, but this is not necessarily fatal to the application.
Condition: Accessory structures beyond the 4.8%pool and related equipment as depicted in the
submitted plans,which also includes space needed for any air conditioner condenser required for
the principal structure, are not permitted.
It is so moved.
Dated: April 25, 2022
Adopted by the following vote:
AYES: 6 (K. Kaplan, B. Gallagher, E. Bergmann, J. Farrington, G. Simpson,M. Gutch)
NAYES: 1 (C. Grey)
Dated: April 25, 2022
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.
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, seven members of the
Board being present.
