ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS

July 19, 2006

The Town of Macedon Zoning Board of Appeals meeting was held on Wednesday, July 19, 2006, at the Town Complex, 32 Main Street, Macedon, NY. Present were Chairman Warren Jeffries and members Carl Eligh, John Gravino and Ron Santovito. Also present were Town Councilman Dave McEwen and Board Clerk Susan Bush. Absent were Charles Packard and Town Engineer Scott Allen.

Mr. Jeffries called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. He then explained the purpose for which this board serves and read the Legal Notice as it appeared in the Times.

PUBLIC HEARING:

Z-05-06 – Valentine – 2028 Daansen Road – Area Variance – Section 135 Schedule I (Attachment 1) – Side setback of residence – Applicant Joseph Valentine was present to explain his request. They would like to add a third bay to their garage and a second story of living space over their existing breezeway. Garage expansion would require a 3 ft. variance from the side property setback (22 ft. proposed vs. 25 ft. per Code). Additional garage space will be used for storage of a classic car. Expanding the garage to the back would not be an option due to underground utility location. Adjoining property (2038 Daansen Road) is a “double” lot with residence placed on the far side from the Valentine residence. The owner of that property was also present and supported this request.

∙ Planning Board – Positive referral

∙ Town Board – No concerns

∙ Wayne County Planning Board – Referral not required

∙ SEQR – Not required

BOARD DISCUSSION:

Z-05-06 – Valentine – 2028 Daansen Road – Area Variance – Section 135 Schedule I (Attachment 1) – Side setback of residence – Motion made by Carl Eligh, seconded by John Gravino, to grant this variance per the application. Board members felt this request was not out of character with the neighborhood and amount of variance was not substantial. The adjoining residence being on a large lot also lessened the impact. The five factors were reviewed.

Roll Vote: Eligh – yes; Gravino – yes; Santovito – yes; Jeffries – yes; Therefore, this variance is granted.

MINUTES:

Motion made by John Gravino, seconded by Carl Eligh, to approve the 06-28-06 minutes. All in favor; minutes approved.

ADJOURNMENT:

Motion to adjourn the meeting made by Carl Eligh, seconded by John Gravino. All in favor; meeting adjourned at 7:49 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Susan Bush

Clerk to the Board
