IN THE MATTER OF THE APPEAL OF
William Fuccillo, Jr.
116 Crescent Avenue
Saratoga Springs,New York 12866
from the determination of the Building Inspector involving the premises at 116 Crescent Avenue in the
City of Saratoga Springs, New York being tax parcel number 179.29-1-46 on the Assessment Map of
said City.
The applicant having applied for an area variance under the Zoning Ordinance of said City to seek relief
to permit finished space in an accessory building in the Urban Residential—2 (UR-2)District and public
notice having been duly given of a hearing on said application held between April 4th and 25th, 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 variance for the following amount of relief:
TYPE OF REQUIREMENT DISTRICT DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENT PROPOSED RELIEF REQUESTED
FINISHED SPACE I NOT PERMITTED PERMITTED 100%
As per the submitted plans or lesser dimensions, be approved for the following reasons:
1. The Board finds that the applicant has demonstrated this benefit cannot be achieved by other
means feasible to the applicant. The applicant seeks to finish existing space in an accessory
structure. According to the applicant,the space will not be used for sleeping, cooking,or bathing. The
applicant considered alternative options; however, those alternatives would not meet the needs of the
applicant.
2. The Board finds that the applicant has demonstrated that granting this variance will not create an
undesirable change in neighborhood character or detriment to nearby properties. Moreover, the space
will not have any sleeping, cooking or bathing facilities.
3. The Board finds the variance to be substantial. However,this is mitigated by the intended use of
the space being limited will not have sleeping, cooking or bathing facilities.
4. This Board finds this variance will not have significant adverse physical or environmental effect
on the neighborhood or district.
5. The alleged difficulty is self-created insofar as the applicant desires to construct finished space
in the existing accessory structure, but this is not necessarily fatal to the application.
CONDITIONS:
(1) Applicant shall obtain approvals from the City concerning the required lot consolidation as a pre-
condition to the effectiveness of this variance.
(2) No sleeping, cooking,bathing or overnight stays is permitted.
It is so moved.
Dated: April 25, 2022

AYES: 7(K. Kaplan,B. Gallagher,E. Bergmann,J. Farrington, G. Simpson,M. Gutch, C. Grey)
NAYES: 0
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.
