Board grants lot-width variance for new two-family on Highland Avenue; applicant agrees to install privacy fence
Summary
The board approved a variance allowing a new two-family house on a narrow city lot at 1718 Highland Avenue and the applicant agreed to install a privacy fence for the adjacent neighbor.
The Troy Planning/Zoning board approved a width variance for a new two-family dwelling to be built at 1718 Highland Avenue, a narrow lot purchased from the city, and the applicant agreed to install a privacy fence for the adjacent neighbor.
Paul Mangrino of Amicus 3 LLC said the parcel is 36.53 feet wide and that the zoning minimum is 40 feet; the proposed building will follow the footprint of a prior house demolished for safety reasons. An adjacent neighbor who participated online noted proximity concerns; the applicant agreed to include a privacy fence along the shared property line. The board classified the action as a Type II under SEQR and approved the variance unanimously.
Action details: PLZBA case PLZBA202500321718 was approved with the condition that the applicant will install a privacy fence along the adjacent property line to address neighbor concerns.
