ZBA accepts application and schedules hearing for Sandra Place garage expansion
Summary
The Town of Fishkill Zoning Board of Appeals accepted application ZB26-002 for a 12-by-25-foot garage addition at 2 Sandra Place and set a public hearing for Aug. 18, 2026 at 7 p.m.; the applicant said the addition will convert the single-car garage into a two-car garage.
The Town of Fishkill Zoning Board of Appeals accepted application ZB26-002 on July 21, 2026 and scheduled a public hearing for Tuesday, August 18, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. The application seeks multiple area variances for a proposed 12-by-25-foot addition to an existing detached garage at 2 Sandra Place (tax map parcel 6255-12-905560, a 0.39-acre lot in the R-20 zoning district). The chair read the application and setback calculations aloud during the meeting.
The applicant, who described the contractor as 'Syscar development,' told the board the existing single-car garage is 'way too small' and that the project will 'extend the garage and make it a 2 car garage.' Committee members pressed for dimensions: the applicant estimated the existing garage depth at about 17–18 feet and said the planned work will 'bump out' the front so the new footprint reaches roughly 20 feet deep. The application as read requests relief from multiple front and side yard setback requirements in the R-20 district; the chair asked the board whether to accept the application and schedule a public hearing.
Chair moved to accept the application and set the hearing for Aug. 18; the motion was seconded and carried with the board voting "Aye" and no recorded opposition. A board member said they would prepare the public-hearing paperwork and notified interested parties of the hearing date.
