Application of Janet Carlson, 250 Lister Avenue, Falconer, New York, for an area variance to construct a garage and a covered porch addition. Property is located at 685 Creek Road, Jamestown, New York, owned by her and known as Section 437.00, Block 1, Lot 25 of the official tax map of the Town of Busti. Property is in the Conservation/Agricultural District. The Board reviewed the balancing test and determined that the benefit to the applicant outweighed any detriment to the neighborhood. Gary Starr made a motion to grant the application of Janet Carlson to construct a garage and covered porch addition with the condition that the existing house be inspected by a design professional and deemed as a safe structure. The garage will be 11’x20’ and the covered porch will be 11’x34 and located no closer than 14’ from the road. Seconded by Tim Young. All aye. Carried.
Application of Adam Padd, 4402 West Fairmount Avenue, Lakewood, New York for an area variance for a storage shed. Property is owned by him and known as Section 385.05, Block 4, Lot 9 of the official tax map of the Town of Busti. Property is in the Conservation/Residential District. Mr. Padd was not present. Gary Starr made a motion to deny the application of Adam Padd to build a storage shed due to the fact that there is not a primary residence on the property, according to Town of Busti Zoning Code §405-12 D; motion was seconded by Kathy Stedman. All aye. Carried.
Application of Robert T. Roush, 2165 Fifth Avenue, Lakewood, New York for an area variance to construct a garage. Property is owned by him and known as Section 384.12, Block 1, Lot 37 of the official tax map of the Town of Busti. Property is in the Conservation/Residential District. The Board reviewed the balancing test and determined that the benefit to the applicant outweighed any detriment to the neighborhood. Gary Starr made a motion to grant the application of Robert T. Roush to construct a garage. The variance is required due to the rear setback. The garage will be 36’X40’ with a 14’X40’ open lean-to and will be located no closer than 20’ from the west (rear) boundary. Motion was seconded by Tim Young. All aye. Carried
