APPEAL No. 02-7121
Mr. & Mrs. Kevin Gibson - Seeking an area variance of Chapter 240, Section 20 of the
Zoning Code in R-IO & R-40. Whereas 50 ft. of frontage is required, the applicants are
proposin2 25 ft. fronta2e. thus requestin!! a variance of 25 feet to allow access over a

Sprin2 Street. Chelsea. NY and is identified as Tax Grid No. 5956-04-970470 in the
Town ofWappingers.
Mr. Larry Paggi - Professional Engineer representing the applicants.
The first thing would be to ask if anybody has any questions because it
maybe a little bit confusing, what we're actually doing here.
Mr. Fanuele: You might want to explain a little bit about it.
'-"
Mr. L. Paggi: There's actually four lots, (point to map) - there's a lot here,
there's another lot here, this is an existing lot for this line here and
this is an existing lot. What is was - was six brothers, one brother
remains and the lots have gone to their children. This is an existing
home now, one of the children have built back here, rather than continuing
access over a right-of-way between these two properties and rather than
this continuing to be an individual lot, what they all agreed to do was to
give this lot it's own access rather than the right-of-way, and having them
be ownership of this strip and just attaching (this) to (this portion) and
this to this portion. We're in front ofthe Planning Board for a lot line
re-alignment now.
Mr. diPiemo: So actually it will be three lots.
Mr. L. Paggi: Yes, and this person will actually have ownership, rather than
right-of-way.
Mr. Fanuele: This is a driveway.
Mr. Lehigh: And it pre-dates Zoning.
Mr. L. Paggi: Yes it does
Mr. diPiemo and Mr. Paggi - discussing on the map where the property lines are.
Mr. diPiemo: So he's the one giving up the right-of-way.
Mr. L. Paggi: Correct

We have a letter from the Planning Board that recommends it, that
