Minutes of the May 10, 2017 meeting were accepted on a motion by Ms. White, 2nd by
Mr. Kutcher and carried.
Agenda Item 3- Application for Area Variance for Dean Roberts, 139 Juniper Hill Road, Jewett, NY Tax ID No.132.00-4-44; Rural Conservation Zoning District, 1.92 acres.
The board reviewed Mr. Roberts’s application for a variance request. Mr. Roberts took the floor and explained his plans to the board. He is looking to build a 12×24’ shed on his property. He had applied for a building permit, but was denied due to the fact that he does not meet the required setback footage from the property side lot line to the proposed shed. Mr. Roberts is looking to obtain either a 15 or 16’ variance to the side lot line. ZEO, Stacy Sprague visited the site and confirmed that Mr. Roberts measurements were correct.
According to the detailed plot plan that Mr. Roberts provided, there is an existing shed already on the property that does not meet setbacks, but was grandfathered in when he bought the property. Because of this already existing shed, Ms. White suggested that instead of granting a variance, the board could do a yard determination because this is an undersized lot that already had a non-conforming shed. As members of the board discussed the possibility of doing a yard determination, some board members were unsure of this procedure.
It was decided to go ahead with the public hearing and variance request, as Mr. Roberts did give permission for board members to do a site visit. In the meantime, the board would like the zoning secretary to research information regarding a possible yard determination decision instead and that the information be shared with the board in a timely fashion so that if applicable to Mr. Roberts’s case, the board could move forward with the yard determination.
Mr. Kutcher made a motion, 2nd by Ms. West and carried the board accepted Mr. Roberts’s application as complete and carried unanimously.
ROLL CALL VOTE: Ms. Williams- AYE, Ms. West- AYE, Ms. White- AYE, Mr. Kutcher- AYE.
The vote was four ayes and the motion was approved. Absent was Ms. Miles.
Mr. Roberts was then given the required signage that he must have hung on his property, including all the adjoining property owners’ information so that he can begin to notify his neighbors of the public hearing which has been scheduled for August 2, 2017.
Agenda Item 4- Other Business
Ms. White brought up the possibility of the zoning board hearing cases that have been denied by the planning board, only if the Building Inspector or Zoning Officer was involved. She mentioned this so that board members would be ready if such a case presented itself.
There being no other business, Mr. Kutcher made a motion to close the meeting, seconded by Ms. West; the vote was unanimous and the meeting was closed at 8:00 pm.

Mr. Mead, representative of Krzysztof Hadaczek took the floor and presented his new measurements. He has made the shed 4 ft. smaller, which in turn lessens the amount of variance needed in order to build. Mr. Mead is now requesting a 16ft. variance instead of 20ft. to the side yard property line. Stacey Sprague, ZEO went out to the property with Mr. Mead and looked over all the measurements. Ms. Sprague confirmed that Mr. Mead’s measurements were accurate and after looking at the suggested area by the Zoning Board, Ms. Sprague concluded that it would not be practical for the location of the garage.
Ms. White would like to request a site visit with Stacey Sprague to ask her input on the rest of the lot.
Mr. Mead is requesting to move forward with the new requested variance amount on the original proposed site.

Mr. Mead, representative of Krzysztof Hadaczek took the floor and explained how he had met with Town Supervisor, James Pellitteri and gone out to the site to look over it with him.
