1. (Town)
Applicant: Karen B. Colwill
Application Number: T-VAR-003-24
Action: 1’-0” side-yard variance and 8’-6” North front-yard variance
Site Location: 17175 Blanchard Lane East, Clayton, NY 13624 (Tax Map #12.20-2-21)
Information: The Colwills are proposing to construct a new deck to replace and expand an existing porch. The cottage currently has no outdoor living spaces and the applicants would like to expand their outdoor living. There will be no removal of trees and no need for re-grading. The new deck would corner the home and would be 44’ on the back, 12’ on the side and extend 10’ from the house. In order to construct the deck, the Colwills will need a 1’-0” side-yard variance and 8’-6” North front-yard variance. Richard Ingerson did receive a letter from a neighbor stating he has no opposition to the deck and there will still be enough room between the houses. Nick Reddick asked if there are plans for a roof to cover the deck. The applicants responded that the roof over the existing porch will remain the same and they will add a pergola with a 1’ overhang. The Board agreed that the 1’ overhang will need to be added in the calculation for the variance, thus amending the side-yard variance from 1’ to 2’ to include the pergola.
