James Thornton represented himself. Mr. Thornton said that the house has a non-conforming width and requires only a small variance. The design is consistent with the neighborhood. Other designs were explored, but this was the only one that worked. Mr. Wernick asked if there was a driveway. Mr. McCarthy responded by saying that there is a driveway for two cars, but only one access point, so a variance is required. Mr. Judge asked if there were other two family homes in the neighborhood. Mr. McCarthy said that most of the homes in the neighborhood were two family homes. Motion to open the public comments: Moved: Judge Seconded: Crowe Absent: Peter Koffler, Timothy Church, Vishal Brown Vote: 4-0 Faith Fusillo of 50 Hudson Street spoke. Ms. Fusillo was representing her mother who owns the house next door. Ms. Fusillo is concerned about the distance between the two houses and what will happen during construction. Mr. McCarthy said that the engineers must take precautions during construction to make sure that the property next door is not damaged. Claire Davis of 25 Hudson Street likes the design, but feels that the house is set too far back from the street. Ms. Davis feels that it is inconsistent with the rest of the neighborhood. Motion to close the public comments: Moved: Judge Seconded: Wernick Absent: Peter Koffler, Timothy Church, Vishal Brown Vote: 4-0 Acting Chairman Judge said that the resident's concerns are valid, but that the variances are not self created. Also, the distance that the property is set back from the street does not require a variance and is not under the purview of the Zoning Board. There is a benefit to having the property developed. Alternatives have been explored and the design is in keeping with the neighborhood. The project is a type II action under SEQRA. Motion to approve the variance: Moved: Judge Seconded: Wernick Absent: Peter Koffler, Timothy Church, Vishal Brown Vote: 4-0 APPROVED �3) Approval of Minutes, December 17, 2014 - Tabled Motion to adjourn the meeting: Moved: Judge Seconded: Bishko Absent: Peter Koffler, Timothy Church, Vishal Brown Vote: 4-0 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
