PUBLIC HEARING

9 Charmwood Road,
Tax #151.12-1-33
Requesting relief from Code Sections 185-15 C (1),
requiring a 70' front setback.
Zoned AA Residential

Richard Sutera owner of 9 Charmwood Road presented the application as submitted. The reason they would like to build this covered front porch it to protect visitors from inclement weather. The porch would be 6' wide and 18' long and it would come out even with the garage.

The board comments:

1. What about the windows that are covered with plywood?
2. Construction time?

Mr. Sutera commented that they are waiting for the new windows to be installed and should be in around the 22 of December. The sooner the better to get started they will probably wait until spring for the footers to be dug for the covered front porch.

There were no public comments and no additional comments from the board members.
This is a local matter. A Type II Action therefore is not subject to a SEQRA review.

George Dounce moved to close the Public Hearing.
Seconded: Larry Magguilli
Public Hearing is closed.

RESOLUTION:

9 Charmwood Road,
Tax #151.12-1-33

Discussion:
The board members commented that the addition of this proposed covered front porch would enhance the property and also cover visitors from inclement weather.

Robert Shaddock moved to grant to the owners of 9 Charmwood Road the requested area variance to construct a new covered front porch within the 70' front setback.
Seconded: George Dounce
Roll Call: All Ayes

A resolution was passed granting the requested area variance to construct a new covered front porch within the 70' front setback allowing a 47.3 foot' front setback at the above-mentioned property. Completion date December 31, 2006.
