IN THE MATTER OF THE APPEAL OF
Mary Beth RECE/Vc.

96 Quevic Dr. OCT2075
SARATOGA SPRINGS, NEW YORK 12866
ACCOUN S
From the determination of the Building Inspector involving the premises at 96 Quevic Dr, in the City2 '&toga
Springs, New York, being tax parcel number 190.8-5-5 on the Assessment Map of said City.
The appellants having applied for an area variance for construction of a residential addition to an existing single
le
family residence and seeking relief from the minimum front yard and side setback requirements and side yard
setback and maximum accessory building requirements for an existing shed in the Urban Residential-I District and
public notice having been duly given of a hearing on said application on Sept. 12 and Oct. 24, 2016.
In consideration of the balance between the benefit to the applicant with detriment to the health,safety and
welfare of the community, I move that the following variance for the following amount of relief:
Required: Proposed: Total relief requested:
Minimum front yard setback 30 feet 26.5 feet 3.5 feet(12 percent)
Minimum side yard setback 12 feet 8.8 feet 3.2 feet(27 percent)
Min. side yard setback:shed 5 ft. 1.2 ft. 3.8 feet(7696)
Max. accessory building(s)coverage: 1 8% 12,1% 4.1%(51%)
As per the submitted plans or lesser dimensions, BE APPROVED for the following reasons:
I.)The applicant has demonstrated this benefit cannot be achieved by other means feasible.As the application
states, "Locating the new garage behind the existing garage would reduce the requirement for the minimum side
yard setback...However, it would increase the driveway length, bringing the driveway closer to the neighbor". In
addition, as the application states, "Moving the preexisting tree house/shed would be impossible".
2.)The applicant has demonstrated that granting this variance will not create an undesirable change in neighborhood
character, or detriment to nearby properties.The house is preexisting nonconforming with the location on the lot
and proximity to the front property line. The new additions will not be any closer to the front property line than
what currently exists".
3.)The variances for the addition to the house are not considered substantial at 12%and 27%. The relief
associated with the existing tree house/shed are considered substantial at 51% and 76%.
4.)The applicant has demonstrated that granting this variance will not have an adverse physical or environmental
effect on the neighborhood. No trees will be removed.The minimum site to remain permeable of 30%will be
exceeded.
5.)The request for relief maybe •
the considered a self-created hardship. Ho
application. p However,self-creation is not necessarily fatal
toAdopted by the following vote:
AYES: 6(B.Moore, K. Kaplan A. McNeill, G. Hasbrouck S.
