OLD BUSINESS:

Z-08-19 – Vega – 240 Route 31– Area Variance – Section 135-62-B – A nonconforming building shall not be enlarged, extended or increased – Chairman Warren Jeffries handed out paperwork relating to whether or not a SEQR was applicable to the application. He explained that there are two types of actions the Zoning Board handles, type one actions require a SEQR and type two actions do not.

A motion that the application falls under a type two action was made by Brian Frey, seconded by Ronald Santovito. All in favor;

A motion to approve the application as submitted was made by Ronald Santovito, seconded by Mike Mosher.

The board discussed that the application is seeking a variance to enlarge the building and that the parking spaces and driveway easement would be handled by the Planning Board at a later meeting.

The five factors were reviewed: There would be no undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood; benefit sought could not be achieved by another method; variance was substantial; there would be no adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood; difficulty is self-created

Roll Vote: Mosher– yes; Santovito – yes; McEwen – yes; Frey – yes; Jeffries – yes. Therefore, this variance was granted.

A motion to approve the 12-18-19 minutes was made by Mike Mosher, seconded by Deborah McEwen. All in favor; minutes approved.
