ZBA adopts resolution granting variance in case 1093 for modest garage expansion
Summary
The Rhinebeck ZBA adopted a resolution granting the variance in case 1093, allowing a garage extension of 5 ft north and 8 ft east with conditions including plan conformity, payment of fees, and a 12‑month start‑work window.
The Rhinebeck Zoning Board of Appeals adopted a written resolution granting the variance requested in case 1093.
The resolution finds the proposed garage extension is modest, will not change neighborhood character and will allow the applicant to place a washer and dryer on the first floor to age in place. The approved extension authorizes a 5‑foot extension to the north and an 8‑foot extension to the east. The board made the grant contingent on several conditions: the work must conform to submitted plans, the applicant must pay all fees and escrow deposits before the variance is deemed granted, and the applicant must remove a hedge on the north side to accommodate the expansion (replacement plantings or a small fence later are allowed so long as height conforms with zoning rules). The resolution states the variance is null and void if construction does not commence within 12 months, although the board may grant a time extension in writing at its discretion.
Board members voted by roll call on the resolution; recorded votes included Scott and Joe voting "yes," and the resolution carried.
