Rhinebeck ZBA accepts Rizzo addition application; public hearing set for Dec. 17
Summary
The Zoning Board accepted an application from Nina Rizzo for an addition that would make an existing pole barn accessory to a new principal residence, deemed the matter a Type II SEQR action, referred it to the planning board and scheduled a site visit and a Dec. 17 public hearing.
The Town of Rhinebeck Zoning Board of Appeals on Nov. 19 accepted an application from Nina Rizzo seeking area variances for an addition that will convert an existing pole/coal barn into an accessory structure and make the new residential structure the principal dwelling.
Board members said the application matches a previously approved plan and moved to deem the project a Type II action under SEQR (617.517). The board referred the matter to the Rhinebeck Planning Board for comment and scheduled a site visit for Dec. 13 at 10:00 a.m. A public hearing is set for Dec. 17; neighbors will be notified before that hearing.
The board directed staff to use the earlier resolution as a basis for the forthcoming decision and to attach any updated site-visit observations or planning-board comments. Staff also noted prior correspondence (a Nov. 15 letter) indicating related construction activity on the parcel; because work has begun in that instance the board concluded a previously granted extension was no longer required.
Next steps: the board will review planning-board comments and the site-visit report at the Dec. 17 hearing and consider a resolution that will include standard conditions on conformity to the approved plans and any fee or escrow requirements.
