The applicant having applied for an area variance under the Zoning Ordinance of said City to permit the replacement of a rear porch with the construction of a two-story addition to an existing principal structure in the UR-2 District and public notice having been duly given of a hearing on said application held on the 18th day of July through the 25th 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 DIMENSIONAL PROPOSED RELIEF REQUIREMENT REQUESTED Maximum Principal Coverage 30% 39.5% 9.5% or 31.7% % relief As per the submitted plans or lesser dimension, be approved as per this Board's consideration of the following factors: 1. The applicant has demonstrated this benefit cannot be achieved by other means feasible to the applicant. The applicant proposes the replacement of a rear porch with the construction of a two-story addition and rear steps. The applicant noted that other designs were considered,but the present plan provided the best option based on their needs. The applicant noted they would be willing to remove the existing non-conforming patio. 2. The applicant has demonstrated that granting this variance will not create an undesirable change in the neighborhood character or detriment to nearby properties. The applicant provided neighborhood context and noted that the proposed relief will allow the house to be more in line with neighboring homes. The applicant notes the principal coverage will remain the same as the new build will be in the same building footprint. 3. The Board notes the requested variance is substantial. However, the Board notes that the relief requested is mitigated by the neighborhood context and lack of significant adverse impact on the neighboring properties, as noted above. 4. This variance will not have a significant adverse physical or environmental effect on the neighborhood or district. The Property will not exceed district requirements for permeability. 5. The alleged difficulty may be considered self-created insofar as the applicant's desire to replace a rear porch with the construction of a two-story addition and rear steps, but this is not necessarily fatal to the application. Conditions: The applicant shall remove the existing patio and repositioning of existing shed to a position that is consistent with the current zoning requirements. Notes: 1. The applicant needs DRC approval. 2. The property currently exceeds 40% coverage, therefore no additional construction is permitted (Accessory or principal) It so moved, dated July 25, 2022 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. _ LU » § .. z _ z \ ± _ z \ / / \ IL � - / z L \ \ - \ z ± u a O_ 2® }\\ - \ - = - \ \ ƒ \\ �`� \ \ \ \ § n z \ \ \ ?-0 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ '0 t\\\/2 8-®°*B <� 6/\\/3 (( 7�/ =_§z< -e )/§3\( \\ \\\t \\/ uto 'AT» }< 08<- a:a z3 = _» , . . . y � . . � » -------------- zz � \ LLI (\\/ *� K 4ca5 /4 « 2) ? jzo � � o (L=az /=©8 05 e \fi \ � 9% \/A\ a56® \/\/\ \A ° \/ \\ �\\/ »/[%& �} /a- \3> &__« e � \ � \�--: -m /\ _ \ Ol LU[\ - //\ � � / OL ® 7 k L \§\ 2 \ \ & yP° 2* °^e \ A/2 �. °«W- \\\/ /\ �? 5»25\ , < Cul 5 , ° 2 M. .M5 , z=3/ , %\3\ /^±§° o¥auy QV ® &/c E2==2 Q L z < O Q w Z Q � F CLU �} OZ Z c� U _z� � pzw O LLj w w z LLI 0 = Q� �o 0 0Q >QN o O J V) U Q > o h LL 00 ln -/+110-1✓z o �Q z LW1101-1Z nb-1b �Z�_, 3�J Ilb Ib 110 IZ �7 z O Z> ^N N w �w S¢ O O vE�N m V- 11 S ww� =� J �' gz3 I� ma N z - z spa o Q1.5 X a z YU m N�mo m �z0 II 8 III z Q Q �u 1 + Q O OI 0 z OIO > q 3LY� 00 Qv\ 3 Z 0— LU 7 m i x Z Q : � n Z 3n o �0 9/%xb/Z � C/ O III 0 0 m 0 Z Q J 0.
