RE: ZBA Interpretation for Var2024-01 Enwright 1027 NYS Route 49 Dear Codes Officer Walker,
At a Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) special Meeting held on April 17, 2024, the ZBA reviewed the Application for Appeal of the Zoning Law VAR2024-01 for 1027 NYS Route 49; Tax Map # 215.000-2-47.1. The application was submitted by Patrick Enwright and updated on April 11, 2024 to appeal the Codes Officer denying a building permit based on the inability to meet a 10% rear setback in the Zone SR.
On April 17, 2024, Mr. Enwright measured the property from the road to a stake which is 35' from the rear lot line. Mr. Enwright is willing to remeasure and set stakes for the proposed location of a new structure.
It is the opinion of the ZBA that if Mr. Enwright meets the 20' rear setback in accordance with Section 420 schedule A, no variance is needed. The ZBA will keep application Var2024-01 open until the codes officer has determined that all setbacks will be met and a building permit for the proposed structure is issued.
