The applicant having applied for an area variance under the Zoning Ordinance of said City to permit a second-floor addition within the Urban Residential -2 (UR-2)District and public notice having been duly given of a hearing on said application held on 18'through July 25'day of July 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 REQUIREMENT PROPOSED RELIEF REQUESTED REAR SIDE 1 (NORTH) 8' 3' 5' (62.5%) TOTAL SIDE 20' 14' 6' (30%) as per the submitted plans or lesser dimensions,be APPROVED for the following reasons: L The applicants have demonstrated this benefit cannot be achieved by other means feasible to the applicants. The applicants wants to build an addition on the current garage. The applicants note they have considered other alternatives however they have noted that additional relief would be required for the other options.The currently proposed option aligns with the existing non-conformity and results in the least amount of relief. 2. The applicant has demonstrated that granting this variance will not create an undesirable change in neighborhood character or detriment to nearby properties.The addition is consistent with other homes in the neighborhood and does not alter the current character of the street. 3. The Board notes the requested variance of 62.5% is substantial. The substantiality is mitigated per the statement above. 4. This variance will not have a significant adverse physical or environmental effect on the neighborhood or district. 5. The alleged difficulty is considered self-created insofar as the applicant desires to construct the addition; however,this is not necessarily fatal to the application. It is so moved, dated July 25, 2022 Page 1 of 2 Adopted by the following vote: AYES: 6 (G. Simpson, C. Grey,E.Bergmann,J Farrington,A. Smith,B. Dailey) NAYES: 0 Dated: July 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,six members of the Board being present. r SIGNATURE 07/27/2022 CHAIR DATE RECEIVED BY ACCOUNTS DEPT.
