Amityville Zoning Board approves multiple fence permits, pool setback variance and dwelling renewals
Summary
At its June 18 meeting, the Amityville Zoning Board of Appeals unanimously approved several special exceptions and variances including multiple 6-foot vinyl fences, a preexisting pool setback variance, renewals for two-family dwellings and a three-car garage variance; stipulations require permits and adherence to plans and codes.
The Village of Amityville Zoning Board of Appeals on June 18 approved a series of applications covering fences, a pool setback, rental renewals and accessory-structure variances.
Edward Lanham received approval to install four sections of 6-foot vinyl fence at 185 Grand Central Ave to create a secure play area for his young children; the board attached standard stipulations requiring conformity with submitted plans and a fence permit. Deana Erigo was granted a similar special exception at 68 Prospect St after saying her back fence was failing and she wanted privacy for a new puppy. Albert Belgrove and Pedro Torres also received approvals to maintain six-foot vinyl fences at their properties on Belmont Court and Hamilton Street, respectively. All fence approvals carried standard conditions including that the "good" side face outward and that applicants obtain required permits.
The board approved a variance for Kevin Eastwood at 168 Ketcham Ave to retain a preexisting 21-foot round above-ground pool with a 2-foot setback where 6 feet is required; Eastwood told the board the pool predated his 27-year ownership and that he has added safety railings and locks. The board also renewed previously approved special exceptions permitting two-family occupancy at 50 Burch Ave (renewal to continue for one year or until change of ownership) and at 29 Lake St (MR Property Builders) while allowing an existing nonconforming front-yard setback to remain in place for the pending Planning Board subdivision application.
Other approvals included variances for a FEMA-compliant one-family dwelling at 41 Braham Ave (increased permitted height and existing lot frontage) and accessory-structure variances to permit a detached three-car garage at 72 Bennett Place. Each approval was accompanied by conditions such as securing rental permits where applicable, arranging required inspections and maintaining adequate off-street parking.
All recorded motions at the meeting passed by unanimous recorded votes of five ayes and no nays where votes were taken. The board adjourned at 7:45 p.m.
