The applicant having applied for an area variance under theZoning Ordinance ofsaid City to permit the construction of asingle family residence ina UR-3District and public notice having been duly given ofahearing on said application held on June 7and July 12, 2021. Inconsideration ofthe balance between benefit tothe applicant with detriment tothe health, safety and welfare of the community, Imove that the requested area variances for the following amounts ofrelief: TYPE OF REQUIREMENT DISTRICT PREVIOUSLY PROPOSED RELIEF REQUESTED DIMENSIONAL APPROVED REQUIREMENT MINIMUM PRINCIPAL BUILDING 30% 50% 56% 6% RELIEF (12%) COVERAGE OVERALL RELIEF - 26% RELIEF (86.7%) As per the submitted building footprint plans or lesser dimensions, be approved for the following reasons: 1. The applicant has demonstrated this benefit cannot be achieved by other means feasible to the applicant. Per the applicant the dimensions presented inresolution 20180185 are thesame as this application, however, an error was made by the previous applicant (Moto Holdings) whereby the principal coverage was miscalculated at50% when thecoverage should have been 56%. The applicants have made no other changes tothe relief requested plans. 2.The applicant has demonstrated that granting this variance will notproduce an undesirable change inneighborhood character or detriment tothe nearby properties. Per the applicant, all side, front and rear setbacks remain the same as those previously approved inresolution #20180185. 3. The variance isconsidered substantial at86.7%. However, the incremental relief of 12% isnot substantial. 4. The Board finds this variance will not have an adverse physical or environmental effect on theneighborhood. 5. The alleged difficulty isself-created as the applicant wishes to build asingle-family home, however self-creation by itself isnot fatal tothe application. Note: This project will not have an actual constructed egress well. The window egress elevation will be met with grading and landscaping, not aphysical constructed element (i.e. no surround, no concrete block, etc.). As such there are no dimensional yard requirements tomeasure for theegress well. Itisso moved. Dated: July 12, 2021 Adopted by the following vote: AYES: 6 (K. Kaplan, B. Gallagher, T. Gallogly, C. Grey, E. Bergmann, G. Simpson) NAYES: 0 Dated: July 13, 2021 This variance shall expire 18 months following the filing date ofsuch decision unless the necessary building permit has been issued and actual construction begun as per 240-8.5.1. Ihereby certify the above tobe afull, true and correct copy ofaresolution duly adopted by theZoning Board ofAppeals oftheCity ofSaratoga Springs on thedate above mentioned, six members ofthe Board being present.
