IN THE MATTER OF THE APPEAL OF
Robert Klein&Margreth Brontoli
49-51 Bryan St.
Saratoga Springs,New York 12866
from the determination of the Building Inspector involving the premises 49-51 Bryan St. in the City of Saratoga
Springs,New York being tax parcel number 165.28-2-20 on the Assessment Map of said City.
The applicants having applied for an area variance under the UDO of said City to permit the construction of a
detached garage and public notice having been duly given of a hearing on said application held between January
271 2025 and February 10, 2025.
In consideration of the balance between benefit to the applicants 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
Accessory to Front 10 FT. 3.6 FT. 6.4 FT. (64%)
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 would like to construct a detached garage. There is no adjoining land available for purchase.
2. The applicant has demonstrated that granting this variance will not create an undesirable change in
neighborhood character or detriment to nearby properties. The Board finds that the applicant has
demonstrated that the requested variance aligns with other properties in the neighborhood.
3. The Board finds the requested variances are substantial,but notes the character of the neighborhood
mitigates this concern as the proposal is similar to other neighboring properties.
4. The Board finds that these variances will not have significant adverse physical or environmental effect on
the neighborhood or district. The property will adhere to the standard district permeability requirements.
5. The alleged difficulty is self-created insofar as the applicant's desire to construct a detached garage,but
this is not necessarily fatal to the application.
