PUBLIC HEARING
Arthur and Jodi Jones – 2094 County Route 8, Oswego
Tax Map # 201.00-02-01.1
Chairman
French reopened the Hearing at 7:01 pm. He explained
to the applicants that any variance granted goes with the land forever and is
why the Board members needed to verify the details. He also spoke with the assessor and found
that language in the property deed supported the edge of road 50’ from the
front of the house and not the 36’ as represented on the survey map therefore
decreasing the size of the request. Mr.
Jones asked some questions regarding how the variance would affect some details
of the planned remodel. A bow or bay styled
window along the front elevation was planned – the Board said the variance
applied to the vertical wall only and it wouldn’t affect the window depth. A chimney was also asked about; the Board
stated that he would need to come back if the CEO determined during the
building permit review that it qualified for a variance. The Board felt that the homeowner’s plans for
the front elevation would greatly enhance the home aesthetically and
financially. Without any further comments
from either the public or the Board the Hearing was closed at 7:15 pm on a
motion moved by Member LeoGrande and seconded by Member Thompson, all were in
favor and the motion carried.

REGULAR MONTHLY MEETING
.
The Regular meeting was opened at 7:16 pm.
Arthur and Jodi Jones – A discussion ensued
amongst the Members that appreciated the compromise of the homeowner to alter
their intended design to work with the Town zoning in an attempt to become more
compliant with a regulation affecting the development of their property. The additional 6’ will achieve added space on
two floors while presenting a pleasing exterior to their home.
Without any further discussion from the Board Members a motion was moved by Chairman Mike French and seconded by Member Patricia Simmons
to accept the Area Variance request of 6’ for front yard setback to construct
residential addition on property
located at 2094 County Route 8, Fulton, tax map# 201.00-02-01.1 is hereby APPROVED with the following express
conditions: NONE.
