Filing Date: 09/13/96
ACTION OF THE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS OF THE TOWN OF WAPPINGER, N.Y.
TO: John R. & Barbara C. Schafer, Appellant
17 Crabapple Court, Wappinger Falls, NY 12590
Tax Grid #19-6258-04-657002-00
At the meeting of the Zoning Board of Appeals on 09/10/96, the referenced
appeal was considered and the action indicated below was taken on your
request for two (2) area variances to the Town of Wappinger Zoning Law.
By resolution of the Board, it was determined that:
1. There is not sufficient area available to the Appellant to
satisfy the front line setback requirement of 35 feet.
The Appellant can provide a 22.63' front line which the Board
feels is sufficient. The Appellant is asking for a 12.4 foot
front line variance
2. There is not sufficient area available to the Appellant to
satisfy the side yard setback requirement of 20 feet.
The Appellant can provide 18 feet which the Board feels is
sufficient. The Appellant is asking for a 2 foot side yard
variance.
Both variances are required to construct a 1 story frame addition (16' X
19') to the front of the house to enlarge the living room.
It was further determined that:
(a) The requested variance will not produce an undesirable change in
the character of the neighborhood.
(b) No substantial detriment will be created to nearby properties.
(c) There was no other feasible method available for you to pursue to
achieve the benefit you seek other than the requested variance.
(d) The requested area variance is not substantial.
(e) The proposed variance will not have an adverse effect or impact on
the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or
district.
(f) The alleged difficulty was not self-created.
(g) The variance is the minimum necessary to grant relief from your
difficulty.
CONCLUSION: Therefore, it was determined that the requested variance be
granted, and that the previous decision of the Enforcement Officer be
reversed.
