The Applicant having applied For an area variance to permit a subdivision to create two parcels, in which the currently existing improvements on the property are sited on Lot 1 consisting, of 12,400 square feet and fronted by both Green Street and Maple Avenue, and with a new Lot 2 fronted by Maple Avenue consisting of 6,413 square feet in the UR-2 District and public notice having been duly given of a heating on said application on December 12, 2022 and January 23, 2023_ in consideration of the balance between the benefit to the Applicants with detriment to the health, safety and welfare of the community, I move that the following variance for the following amount of relief: Type of Requirement District Dimensional Requirement Proposed Relief Requested Minimum Lot Size: Lot 2 6 600 square feet 6,413 square feet 187 square feet (2.8° �t) Minimum Average Lot 60' 50' 10' (16.7%) Width Lot 2 As per the submitted 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. The applicant notes that there are no available lands to purchase on the eastern side of Lot 2 and even a one -foot addition to the western lot line bordering Lot I would come 0. 1' to the allowed setback from the house on Lot 1. The applicant further notes that a squared -off line on Lot 2, :Ls in the proposed plan, is ideal from planning practices and precludes future maintenance and neighbor issues. A previous resolution 420190225 was approved by the Board and due to the applicant's neglect to request an extension, this resolution will replace it. 2. The applicant has demonstrated that granting this variance will not produce an undesirable change in neighborhood character or detriment to the nearby properties. The applicants note that the proposed new boundary and lot configuration will provide sufficient space for a zoning -compliant new home construction on Lot 2. The Board notes no variances are required for Lot I. The applicants provided the Board with information on comparable lots in the neighborhood so that Lot 2 would be consistent with neighborhood context. While the Board is generally not in favor of creating non- compliant sized new lots, the shortfall in total lot size in this case is not significant; see note 3 below. Page I of 2 3. The requested variance is not substantial for neither lot size nor width. 4. The Applicant has demonstrated that granting this variance will not have an adverse physical or environmental effect on the neighborhood Permeability of Lot I will be 58.5% per the applicant, well in excess of district requirement. 5. The request for relief is a self-created hardship. however, self-ercation is not necessarily fatal to the application. Notes: Planning Board granted a favorable opinion on May 13, 2021 and February 23. 2023 This subdivision will nullify a Special Use Pennit granted in 1992 fora home occupation on this site. Condition: Removal of existing driveway and curb cut on Maple Avenue and repair to city standards of sidewalk and curbing.

Smith) RECUSF,D: 0 NAYES: This variance shall expire 18 months following, the filing date of such decision unless the necessary building pertnit has been issued and actual construction begun as per the Unified Development Ordinance_ 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, five members of the Board being present.
