Chairman Judge stated that he would like to make a motion to approve the application requests. It is not a substantial variance. There is a slight increase in the FAR but the other variances are pre-existing conditions and non-conformities based on the lot and the existing location of the accessory structure and the existing side yards. It is classified under the regulations of the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) as an unlisted action. It is keeping with the character of the neighborhood, and is not an unreasonable burden to the neighborhood. Motion was made to grant the variances as requested.
