Planning Board approves scenic-preservation garage at 113 Gundrum Point Road with erosion-control condition
Summary
The Sand Lake Planning Board approved a Scenic Preservation application allowing a 26-by-34-foot garage at 113 Gundrum Point Road, contingent on erosion and sediment controls during construction and that the structure be used for storage only.
Andrew Karl, Chair of the Town of Sand Lake Planning Board, announced the board’s unanimous approval of a Scenic Preservation application submitted by property owner William Wicks for 113 Gundrum Point Road. Wicks sought permission to construct a 26-foot by 34-foot garage, 21 feet high and sited about 80 feet from Burden Lake, using green and brown exterior materials.
The board record notes that Wicks agreed the garage would meet a minimum five-foot side setback and that a surveyor (Kevin McGrath) would pin the side line. Joel Abelove recused himself from consideration of the application.
The board designated itself lead agency and classified the project as a Type II action under the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQR). The approval carried conditions: proper erosion and sediment controls must be installed during construction, and the garage’s use must be limited to storage, as discussed at the meeting.
Andrew Karl moved for approval; the motion was seconded and carried unanimously as recorded in the minutes. The board’s minutes do not list individual roll-call votes. The planning board did not record any other limitations on materials or additional mitigation measures beyond those conditions.
The next procedural step is construction consistent with the approved conditions; the minutes do not specify a permit-issuance date or building-permit timeline.
