RE: Letter of Intent for expan510n of an
exl5tlng acces50ry apartment at:
Kenneth and Joan Kerrs Residence
39 Carroll Drive,
Town of Wapplngers Fa1l5, NY 12590
Dear Ms. Roberti,
This letter IS to Inform you that my clients, Kenneth and Joan Kerrs are seeking to
expand an eXisting accessory apartment at the above referenced location, which
is In an R-20 zone. The addition and renovations proposed for the accessory
apartment IS to accommodate the growing needs for their daughter and son-In-
law.
Currently Mrs. Kerrs daughter and family are liVing In the eXisting accessory
apartment, which IS 571sf. This current space Includes a small eat In kitchen,
liVing room, one bedroom, one bathroom and closets. The one bedroom IS shared
by both parents and their young child. As the family grows the need for privacy
IS becoming more apparent and something that needs to be addressed.
In addition, since moving In, the daughter's husband has been diagnosed With
epilepsy, and at variOUS times needs assistance and some much needed privacy.
The Original accessory apartment space IS limiting for thiS young family and
additional floor space With a more functional layout IS needed. Therefore, they are
requesting variances from the bulk requirements, for allowable square footage,
and a reduction In the required Side yard setback.
~ ~ U F'<.. I ....0.... 5 5 c:::=:> c:::::.. I ~ -r E 5 ~ ~c:::::.. H I -r E c:::::.. -r 5 ~ c:::::..
~ MILL. 5T1ltEET "'~fI"$l~ NY' 1.2.01~1&1 VOlc;E &045 0452 IOeO "AX &045 0452 1&&0 1'VI"II'VJI'tQW'I-Qf"t;ItIt~b.t:t::Jf11
The proposed addition/expansion to the eXisting accessory apartment will provide
G3 I square feet of additional floor space. This expanded space will
accommodate their needs and provide privacy between parents and a growing
child with an additional bedroom. The addition will provide a new separate
entrance; an open style liVIng room to make the present living room seem larger
than It IS; additional cabinets with counter space In the eXisting kitchen with a
small eating area; a larger master bedroom and bathroom, an office/den/computer
area for times when work must be confined to the home for the son-In-law; and
lastly, a second separate bedroom for their son.
ThiS proposed addition (G3 I sf) when combined with the eXisting accessory
apartment footage (57 I sf) will reach newly proposed accessory apartment
footage of I 202sf.
The following Items noted In Chapter 240 of the zoning law title 240-53
Accessory Apartments apply to the variances we are seeking for the expansion of
the proposed apartment.
Chapter 240-53; 8 Standards; Item (4) Maximum size; an accessory apartment
shall be subordmate m area to the prmclpal dwellmg. The accessory apartment
shall not exceed 35% of the gross floor area of said prmClpal dwellmg, and m no
event shall It exceed 1,000 square feet of gross floor area.
The total square footage of the upper and lower levels of the home, inclUSive of
the proposed addition for the accessory apartment, equals 329G S.F. The
maximum allowable footage for an accessory apartment would either be 35% of
the gross floor area or a maximum of 1000sf. As noted above the proposed
expanded accessory apartment footage IS I 202sf, which exceeds the allowable
35% (329G X 35% = 1 I 53sf) gross floor area and the allowable maximum
1000sf. The proposed footage IS 3G% of the gross floor area and the
(I 202sf) exceeds the maximum allowable (I OOOsf) by 20%. Although the
proposed accessory apartment footage Will exceed the maximum allowable
footage by 20%, It stili remains subordinate to the principle dwelling. Therefore
the Owners are seeking a variance from both the allowable 35% of gross floor
area and the maximum allowable square footage of 1000sf.
The proposed addition for the accessory apartment will be encroaching on the
west Side set back. The bulk regulations require a minimum Side yard of 20'-0"
and the newly expanded accessory apartment addition will provide a Side yard of
I G'-G" at the narrowest pOint along the west property line. ThiS will encroach
the Side yard approximately 3'-G" at the accessory apartment addition, which IS
an 18% reduction In the required Side yard.

The Kerrs family has been a member of the community for many years and would
like to remain and grow were they are. The Owners applied for an accessory
apartment a few years ago and where granted an approval. This IS the eXisting
accessory apartment In which their daughter now lives With her family.
During this down turn In the economy and the Increase In unemployment the
deCISion for the Kerrs daughter and family to venture out on their own has
become a tough deCISion. The difficulty of obtarnlng a mortgage and the
uncertarnty of the present Job market makes It difficult to purchase or rent a
larger space. The alternative was to stay rn the accessory apartment they
already reside In and expand that space to Include the amenities and square
footage necessary to accommodate their needs.
The accessory apartment expansion Will prOVide a more functional space for the
residents of the apartment and allow both families to live In coheSion. ThiS will not
only prOVide a more affordable place to reside In but will also prOVide some
needed assistance With regards to the son-In-laws medical condition. By staYing
In the apartment the Kerrs daughter and family Will have the added secunty and
support from their parents.
Therefore, I respectfully request variances from the Zoning Ordinance Chapters
240-2 J for Yards and setbacks; and chapter 240-53 Accessory Apartments,
B - 5tandards, Item (4) MaXimum size - 35% of Gross floor area of prinCipal
dwelling and the maximum square footage of 1000sf. The granting of vanance for
all the above outlined Issues, although over the allowable bulk regulatrons are still
In keeping With the character of the present neighborhood.
If you have any questions or WIsh to diSCUSS any of the above Informatron, please
do not heSitate to contact me at your earliest convenience.

MEMO
TO: ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
FROM: GRAHAM FOSTER
SUBJECT: DRIVEWAY AT 39 CARROLL DRIVE
On 8/5/10, I received a request for a wider driveway, at the above residence, to
accommodate the expansion of an accessory apartment.
The driveway, as it exists, does not have adequate site distance looking easterly
and cannot be made larger.
I also question if the Fire Inspector has been consulted on this accessory
apartment expansion.
