Whereas a side yard setback of 25 feet is required, applicant is proposim! a side yard setback of 10 ft. 6 inches to construct a bi-Ievel open wood deck. thus reQuestin~ a variance of 14ft. 6 inches. The property is located at 17 Gold Rd. and is identified as Tax Grid No. 6258-04-872481 in the Town of Wappinger. Mr. Lehigh: And I've got a correction on that - it's 8 feet 3 inches - the variance is 16 feet 9 inches. Can I have a motion to open the adjourned public hearing? Mr. Warren: So moved Mr. diPierno: Second All in favor - all present voted - Aye .'-' Mr. Lehigh: We got the survey. Mr. Poorman: That took some doing to get. Mr. Lehigh: Just for the line? Mr. Poorman: No - just to get a surveyor out, within a month - they actually finished it up on Monday afternoon. What did change was the distance between the house and the property line, on the original survey that you have lists it 6 foot 6 inches on the new survey it lists it 6 foot even. The one thing on there, we assumed the fence was the line, and it's not - which changed the dimensions from 14 to 16.9 I believe. Mr. Lehigh: We have that information, is your neighbor here tonight? Mr. Ciaccio: I'm here Mr. Lehigh: We've been through everything before, is there anything you want to add? Mr. Ciaccio: No - I'm really just here to see that the distance was right, so I think I agree with that. \...- Mr. Lehigh: Alright, that's the only reason we wanted it, so we get the variance correct. '-' 40f9 Summarized Minutes from March 26, 2002 Zoning Board of Appeals Town of Wappinger It's still extenuating circumstances were the house and the lot, which doesn't change. Mr. Prager: I just want to say - it is still a very large variance, the only thing is the house itself isn't going to move so it was built that way a number of years ago and Mr. Poorman has moved the deck already, actually further away from the property line than it was originally, other than that just wanted to state it is a very large variance, under these circumstance (pre-dates zoning) I don't think have any problem with that. Mr. Lehigh: Does anybody else have anything? Mr. Fanuele: I would tend to grant the variance for the deck - and the deck only. Mr. Lehigh: I think we did the NEG DEC on this one - ifnot, we'll do it again. Mr. Warren: I make a motion for a NEG DEC Mr. diPiemo: Second All in favor - all present voted - Aye '-' Mr. Lehigh: I need a motion to close the public hearing. Mr. Fanuele: So be it. Mr. Prager: Second All in favor - all present voted - Aye Mr. Lehigh: Do I hear a motion on the variance? Mr. Fanuele: I make a motion we grant the variance with the condition - for a deck only.

Mr. Squillace: I've out grown the house and I actually need a bigger garage and in the process I'm going to add to the bathroom and bedroom, also. Mr. Lehigh: Now this is not constructed, as yet? '-' Mr. Squillace: No Mr. Prager: You said you need a larger garage. Mr. Squillace: I need another garage, I've got a two car garage now, and I actually need a bigger garage. Mr. Prager: Your proposed addition is going to be a garage? Mr. Squillace: It would be a garage with a bedroom and bathroom above. Mr. Lehigh: So the garage would be underneath it? Mr. Squillace: Yes Mr. Fanuele: It's a two-story addition. Mr. Squillace: Yes, it will be a garage and a bedroom, it's a raised ranch. Mr. Lehigh: You're doing this yourself? Mr. Squillace: Yes I am - I've been in construction for about 35 years. ~ 60f9 Summarized Minutes from March 26, 2002 Zoning Board of Appeals Town of Wappinger '-' Mr. Lehigh: The deck isn't there now? Mr. Squillace: There is a deck and a pool. Mr. Lehigh: There's a deck and a pool in the rear yard? Mr. Squillace: Yes Mr. Lehigh: The deck - you'll tear down and rebuild? Mr. Squillace: I'm going to add on to that deck - I may put a new deck on it, I'll be putting girders and joists in - roughly 7 feet by 12 feet is going to be the deck. Mr. Lehigh: It's going to be shorter than the house, in other words it isn't going as far in the backyard. Mr. Squillace: I think it will. Mr. Lehigh: You really need some actual drawings with exact measurements on them so we know what we're going to grant. I see it says 13 x 7, and your proposed addition says 16 feet. Mr. Squillace: The deck is going to be roughly 7 x 16 feet is going to be actual deck. \. Mr. Prager: You've got the existing deck right now, it says 13.7 x 11.7 is that correct? Mr. Squillace: The existing deck - yes. Mr. Prager: So basically what you're going to do is tear that deck right off.... Mr. Squillace: The beams from the deck are going to stay, I just might put a new deck on it new 2 x 6's, new flooring. Mr. Lehigh: Then you would probably be building it the same size as what it is here, right? Mr. Prager: I see you've got a picture here, let's see what you've got. (Approaching the dais, Mr. Squillace pointed out to the board members where he would be putting this deck). . Mr. Lehigh: He's not tearing this down, he is adding to it.
