ZBA 33-V-91 The Petitioner is requesting variations to 1623 CEDAR LN allow a sideyard setback of ? feet, rather than the required 10 feet; a rear yard setback of 7 feet, rather than the required 15 feet; and, a zero foot separation between a pool deck and a house deck in order to permit an existing above ground swimming pool. The Zoning Board of Appeals recommended denying these requests by a vote of 2-4. It was noted that this case had been before the Zoning Board of Appeals on two occasions. At the first hearing, neighbors expressed their desire to have a 6 foot fence, which would screen the pool. The Petitioner then filed a petition for a variation to permit the 6 foot fence. It was the opinion of the Zoning Board of Appeals that the requested variations should not be granted since the Petitioner installed the pool and built the deck for the pool without benefit of a permit. Trustees expressed the fact that they agreed with the Zoning Board of Appeals and noted that if the Petitioner had requested a building permit, they would have known about the required setbacks. The neighbors expressed their feelings that they had no objections to the pool as long as the fence was installed. Inasmuch as a 2/3 majority vote would be necessary to override the denial of the Zoning Board of Appeals, and the fact that 2 Trustees were absent, the Petitioner requested that this case be continued to the November 5th meeting of the Village Board. This case will be presented November 5th for Village Board action. ZBA 57-A-91 and ZBA 58-SU-91, 1028 S.
