Ouellette additions approved despite combined-lot coverage increase

Representative Tim Gottlieb presented an application on behalf of the property owner seeking multiple area variances at 78 Middletown Point Road, Rock Hill (S/B/L: 38.-4-3.1). The variances under Town of Thompson Zoning Code §250-8 and §21B(4) covered two side-yard reductions (down to 11.2' and 3'), combined side yards (proposed 14.2% vs. required 50'), and an increase in lot coverage (proposed 17.3% vs. required 10%). The representative confirmed the screened porch will be a four-season room and that two parcels had been combined with planning-board approval; HOA approval and proof of mailings were presented and the board classified the application as a Type 2 SEQR action.
