ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS APPLICATION FORM PAGE 6
AREA VARIANCE—PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING(add additional information as necessary):
2.3 DISTRICTS AREA AND
The applicant requests relief from the following Zoning Ordinance article(s) BULK SCHEDULE. TABLE 3:
Dimensional Requirements From To
Minimum front yard setback(porch): REQUIRED 10' 5.7' 4.74'
Minimum Side Yard Setback(porch): REQUIRED 4' 3.8' 3.1'
Minimum Percent to Remain Permeable: 25% 21.01%
Other:
Front Yard Setback UR-1, UR-2&UR-3-The minimum front yard setback requirement shall be reduced as follows: If neither of the
existina principal structures on the immediately adiacent parcels to the said property meet the minimum front yard setback. then the
To grant an area variance,the ZBA must balance the benefits to the applicant and the health,safety,and welfare of the neighborhood and
community,taking into consideration the following:
. Whether the benefit sought by the applicant can be achieved by other feasible means. Identify what alternatives to the variance have
been explored (alternative designs,attempts to purchase land, etc.)and why they are not feasible.
No other land available for purchase.
PORCH-there was an existing porch that could not be salvaged because a) it did not fit the house or neighborhood b) built on
cinder blocks and leaning. Building permit approval was then based on the reduced front yard setback for UR-3 when neither
adjacent parcels meet minimum front yard setback. See supporting pictures.
% Permeable-alternative is less off-street parking.Washington St. has no parking so alternative parking is side streets, art district
area of Beekman St, Elm St.With the art district businesses, the west side park and other multi-family housing, side street parking
is difficult. Paved area in the rear of the building sized for 3 parking spaces.
2. Whether granting the variance will produce an undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby
properties. Granting the variance will not create a detriment to nearby properties or an undesirable change in the neighborhood
character for the following reasons:
PORCH- new porch is replacing a porch that did not fit the neighborhood character. Old porch was a detriment to nearby
properties in that it was leaning due to no footings for support. See pictures to compare old porch to new porch.
% Permeable-it is not a detriment or undesirable change because it reduces the amount of side street parking that would need to
occur daily if it did not exist. Neighborhood character-the adjacent properties are multi-family homes pretty much all with rear
yard parking.

ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS APPLICATION FORM PAGE 7
3. Whether the variance is substantial. The requested variance is not substantial for the following reasons:
Porch-the side setback relief requested is 0.9 feet and is only for the roof overhang,the primary portion of the deck excluding the
roof overhang meets the 4' requirement. For the front setback the relief requested from 10' requirement is 5.3' however for UR-3
the minimum front yard setback is reduced when neither adjacent properties meet the setback, porch is built in line with the
adjacent properties and has more setback then the adjacent houses to the east.
% permeable- relief requested is 3.99%of the total required 25%, still allowing plenty of permeable ground for drainage;
additionally the 21.01% has been calculated by excluding the open, rear deck which is sand/gravel underneath as well as the(2)
porches that are sand/gravel, all (3)of these excluded spaces receive snow and water drainage.
4. Whether the variance will have adverse physical or environmental effects on neighborhood or district. The requested variance will not
have an adverse physical or environmental effect on the neighborhood or district for the following reasons:
Porch-similar to other porches in the neighborhood, no environmental impact.
% permeable-similar to other adjacent properties in the neighborhood which in rear yard parking, no drainage issue.
5. Whether the alleged difficulty was self-created(although this does not necessarily preclude the granting of an area variance). Explain
whether the alleged difficulty was or was not self-created:
Yes, self-created, caused by the desire to replace an existing non-conforming porch and to allow for adequate off-street parking
for a 3-family property.Additionally,the contractor(in retrospect)should have constructed the roof over-hang 7"to 12" less. For
the parking,the contractor(in retrospect) should not have included the open deck or porch areas in the% permeable calculation.

This picture shows the neighbor's house on the corner of Elm St and Washington St. from the
ground.
As you look at 150 Washington, the previous porch and proposed porch are identical in dimensions
and ends at the dirt shown in the picture closet to the house. The concrete was a small sidewalk
from the driveway,then grass, then bushes, then you reach the city sidewalk. I would say this is
identical to the neighbor on the corner of Elm St.
