CONTINUED APPEAL from Codes Officer Decision  – DAVID WATTAM
6629 Bennetts Corners Rd., Tax Parcel ID #047.-02-15.0
Use Variance #200-25 and Appeal #200-57(C) Discontinuance. RH Zoning Distr.

Mr. Charles Farrell, Attorney representing Mr. David Wattam, Mr. David Wattam, owner, and Mr. Mulvaney, previous owner of proposed property, were present to address the Board.

Mr. Farrell presented zoning maps from 1968 for the Board showing the proposed property in a possible Local Business district, but the map was unclear.

Mr. Farrell said the applicant, Mr. Wattam purchased the property thinking he was allowed to use it for a self-storage business.

Mr. Farrell said the prior owner said he used the property as a “distribution center” and for storage of cars from paying customers.

Mr. Pringle said that the property use was never approved and that the previous use remained dormant for over three months, which any “non-conforming” use would then discontinue.

Mr. Mulvaney, previous owner, spoke stating he operated a distribution house for boxes and stored cars for clients and received a letter of violation for storing cars outside and signage from the Codes Officer.  Mr. Mulvaney said he was storing vehicles at the time of sale.

Mr. Farrell said there is only one current violation that exists on the property for operating a business.

Mr. Cleverley said the best use for the existing buildings on the property would be for storage since it will never be a farm again.

Mr. Farrell said that if the Board determines a non-conforming use exists, it would be less problematic that determining a use variance.  Mr. Farrell said that he believes he has an argument for a use variance.

Mr. Virginia said that the 1968 map probably is indicating a Local Business for the proposed property.

Mr. Mulvaney said that he always ran a distribution center.

Mr. Virginia asked Mr. Farrell to research how long the applicant was assessed as a distribution center.

Mr. Bowes said that the storage business Mr. Mulvaney did was always an illegal use and because we happened to have a diligent Codes Officer, we have this application in front of us.

Mr. Bowes asked the applicant if he thought of petitioning the Town Board to include “enclosed storage” in the Rural Hamlet District.

Mr. Farrell said he didn’t believe the Town would like to see “enclosed storage” everywhere in the Rural Hamlet District.

Mr. Farrell asked the Board to schedule a public hearing for application for a use variance.

The Board scheduled a public hearing for use variance by Mr. Wattam for October 17, at 7:35 p.m.


CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING – IRENE SHECKLER
7621 Maple Rd., Tax Parcel ID #030.-04-49.0
Special Use Permit #200-15(C)(9) Home Occupation. R-40 Zoning Distr.

The public hearing continued at 8:07 p.m.  

Mr. Lucien Ali, Attorney, representing Irene Sheckler, and Ms. Sheckler, owner, were present to address the Board.

Mr. Ali informed that Board that his client was looking to obtain a special use permit for home occupation.

Mr. Ali said the client leases space with Cottage Designs in the Village of Baldwinsville and uses her home to interview clients and visits their home to help them decorate their homes.

Mr. Ali said that incidental sales is in connection with the planning and decorating business for home occupation.  Mr. Ali said Ms. Debra Case was granted a Special Use on September 16, 1996, and is similar application to Ms. Sheckler’s application.  Mr. Ali said paragraph number five and six of Debra Case’s Special Use address sales.  Mr. Ali said his client is asking for the same thing as the previous applicant Ms. Case.

Mr. Ali defined incidental sale as when Ms. Sheckler advises her customers in their homes and the customer chooses from a list of fabrics or books of what to purchase.

Mr. Spencer said the Board has to determine if the description fits home occupation or the application is just a front for a retail business.

Mr. Pringle said that the applicant is here as a result of an anonymous complaint and she had a large “Open” sign on her property.  The anonymous caller said the applicant was conducting business.

Mr. Pringle said home occupation allows for only use of 25% of the home.

Mr. Ali said Ms. Case application was done in an out building.

Mr. Abold said if the client has a place in the Village why doesn’t she just use that space.

Mr. Ali said she has some items in storage and that she allows some of her customers to look at those items, i.e. antique furniture, and consults with customers by appointment at her home.

Ms. Sheckler said that she has had a barn sale in previous years, but none this year.  Ms. Sheckler said she did have an “Open – Decorating Studio” on her property only to let her clients know where she was and wouldn’t drive by the house.

Mr. Virginia said that type of sign is not allowed with a home occupation.

Ms. Sheckler said she understood and would only use an allowable sign.

Ms. Sheckler said most of her neighbors don’t know she operates a business and that she is very quiet.

Mr. Virginia said that the Board would review the application again and asked to look at her property.

Ms. Sheckler said it was all right for each of the members to visit her home.

Mr. Virginia tabled the application to October 17, 2005.

CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING – ROBERT PUTZER
Peck Rd. Ext., Tax Parcel ID #058-01-44.0/18.0

Mr. Abold recused himself from discussion.  

The public hearing opened at 8:36 p.m.  The secretary read the public notice aloud.

Mr. Robert Putzer was present to address the Board.

Mr. Virginia said he was confused with the application.

Mr. Putzer said that he was looking to combine two of the proposed parcels for the use of an enclosed storage building for cold storage (vehicles).  Mr. Putzer said the property is adjoined to property to the east, which is owned by him, and that he would use the property for access, which is on Jones Rd.

Mr. Putzer was unsure of what size buildings he would be using.

Mr. Virginia said that the application was sent to County Planning for recommendation.

Mr. Virginia tabled the application to October 17, 2005.

Mr. Seward of 2671 Ellsworth Rd. said he didn’t care what his neighbor did on his property, but asked that his neighbor not be on his property with their structures.

Mr. Andrew Allen of 36 Fishermans Creek was present to address the Board.

Mr. Allen said he was requesting a variance for front yard and that he was on a corner street and wanted to place an inground pool with fence on the property.

The public hearing closed at 9:09 p.m.

Mr. Virginia proposed the following resolution #Z-05-28:

Andrew D. Allen of 36 Fisherman’s Creek seeks an area variance from Section 200_16(A)(3)(a) of the Town of Van Buren Code related to the proposed location of a swimming pool.  The property is located in an R-15 District and is identified as Tax Map parcel 036-02-35.  
Mr. Allen spoke in favor of the application and described his plan to construct a pool.  The proposed pool will be located a minimum of approximately 10 feet from the road’s right of way line.  The front yard setback variance is required because the pool will be located closer than 35’ from the property line.  Mr. Allen explained in detail to the Board the physical limitations of his property based on topography and existing improvements, which include his house, and drainage easements.  
There was no objection to the proposal at ZBA’s public hearing, which was held on September 19, 2005 pursuant to public notice.
In support of the application, applicant submitted an Application for Variance, Agricultural Data Statement, Notice to Surrounding Property Owners, location sketch and survey showing the location of the house on the property.
Based on the foregoing, the Board resolves as follows:
1.      This matter is Type II under SEQR as it involves an individual setback variance related to a single-family residential use.
2.      It is determined the requested variance will not produce any undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood and will not be a detriment to nearby properties.  The proposed variance will not have an adverse effect or impact on the physical environmental conditions in the neighborhood or district because the pool will be located away from the paved road and neighboring improvements.  Neighbors express no objection to the variance.  Given the unusual shape of the lot and the principal structure location, there is no other apparent method to achieve the benefit applicant wishes to obtain other than a variance and the benefit to applicant outweighs any detriment to the neighborhood or community as a result of granting the variance.
3.      A variance is granted to allow the construction of a pool with a minimum setback of 10 feet from the front yard property line along Waterfront Drive.  Any additional structures or modifications to existing improvements shall require additional review and approvals.

Mr. Abold seconded the resolution; there was no further discussion.
