In the Matter of the Appeal of
APPEAL NO. 643
PETER TOMASIC
----------------------------------------x
FINDINGS OF FACT
Applicant applied in 1972 for a building permit to add a living
room to an existing single family residence. Subsequent thereto,
and at dates unspecified, petitioner commenced construction of the
living room and several other rooms for which an application had not
been sought. The premises is situated in an area zoned OR-lOA and
is adjacent to a mobile home park. Rental units are available within
the park.
DECISION
The request for a variance must be denied. Applicant has failed
to satisfy any of the ~hree-fold requirements for a variance, making
no showing of financial hardship as no dollar and cents proof was
offered that the principal permitted use of the property, a single
family residence, could not be used for such purpose. Moreover,
the hardship is not unique, being one that was self-created rather
than one arising from the nature of the land in question. Finally,
the density of the area would be adversely affected.

2. TYPE OF APPEAL (Coijlplete relevant section). *
a" A VARIANCE IS REQUESTED.for the following reasons:
1) Strict application of the Zoning Ordinance would produce undue
hardship because: The building permit for.the addition, including
a kitchen, was obtained in 1972 when the zoning classification was
RD-20. The addition ~s complete and if not now used for the
original intent would create a financial hardship.
2) The hardship created is unique and is not shared by all properties .
alike in the immediate vicinity of this property and in this district
because: The permit was obtained in 1972 when consistent with the
zoning classification of RD-20i the construction has been in progress
from 1972 and is now complete, even though the zoning classification
was changed in 1980 to OR-lAi the dwelling is no longer usable as a singl
3) The variance would observe the spirit of the Ordinance and would not
change the character of the district because:
The area of my dwelling is still a residential areai other residences
in this area are in the classification of multi-family dwellings.

Dear Sirs:
Enclosed please find a Notice of Appeal that requests a
variance in the zoning ordinance governing my property.
The details of this request are as follows:
In 1972, I obtained a permit #72-326 for a two-family dwelling
in the Town of Wappingers in a zone that was then classified
as RD-20. It was my intention to build an addition to my
house that would be occupied by my parents. This addition is
now complete, But because of advanced age and ill health, my
parents are unable to accommodate this arrangement.
The cost of construction, current and anticipated maintenance
of this addition have now created a financial hardship which
I can only resolve by collecting rent on this apartment.
Also, the zoning was changed in 1980 to OR-lA, but since there
are other residences in the area that are of the same classi-
fication as my dwelling (multi-family), I assume that this
permit will not violate the present zoning classification.
I look forward to your favorable disposition of this request.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Peter Tomasic

RE: Conversion of addition to a rental unit
Dear Mr. Tomasic:
As Zoning Administrator I must deny your request to convert the section
of your houSe built as an addition in 1972 into a rental unit. Your
zoning district is OR-lA, which permits only one residential use per
lot. ~.
In researching your permit #72-326, I find that although you were zoned
RD-20(multi-family) in 1972, the required special use permit was not
requested or granted nor was site plan approval obtained.
"'... -
~,.. -'I'r.
Although the submitted plans showed a kitchen, living room and two bed-
rooms, the Itkitchen" and "living room" words were erased from the approved
plans and the "Building Application" stated the use as a '~residence
addition..." "one living room".
In any event a Certificate of Occupancy was never issued for the addition
and a new permit must be taken out for the completion of the addition.
As we previously discussed, you have filled out an Appeal for a Variance
to allow the rental of the addition and will be on the November 9th
Zoning Board of Appeals agenda. If the Board grants a variance, you
could then apply for a building permit.
