Ballston ZBA sets July 1 hearing for 3 Sharon Lane shed variance
Summary
Property owner Kyle Collins sought two area variances to place a 12x24 shed on a lot with wetlands and utility constraints; the ZBA declared the project Type II under SEQR and scheduled a public hearing for July 1, 2026 at 6:31 p.m.
The Town of Ballston Zoning Board of Appeals on June 3 reviewed an application from property owner Kyle Collins seeking two area variances to place a 12-by-24 shed at 3 Sharon Lane (ZBA2026-005).
Collins told the board the property is larger than typical lots on the street, but contains about 1.3 acres of wetlands and a septic system on the left side of the house. He said utility lines run along the right side of the driveway, constraining placement. Board members asked whether lines shown on the map were topographic contours or utilities; the board concluded the lines depicted utility routes and asked for a clearer depiction of the proposed shed and any overhangs.
After discussion, Mr. Whitton moved, and Mr. Long seconded, to classify the project as a Type II action under the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQR), exempting it from further environmental review. The motion carried. The board then voted to schedule a public hearing for July 1, 2026, at 6:31 p.m.
The board’s questions focused on map clarity, utility locations, and whether the shed will have overhangs; Collins said the pictured shed is the intended model and that overhangs would be minimal.
