Area-variance for Dundee subdivision would create substandard frontages; board flags positive countywide impact
Summary
Scott Boudinot seeks to subdivide a parcel at 19 Vine Street into three lots with frontages below local code (75', 67', ~60' vs required 100'). The Yates County Planning Board reviewed clarifications and voted the referral has a positive countywide impact under GML 239.
Scott Boudinot asked the board to consider an area variance to divide a 19 Vine Street parcel into three lots that would produce frontages of roughly 75 feet, 67 feet and about 60 feet, where village code requires 100 feet. The transcript notes the applicant would create a car-wash frontage at 75' and retain an existing mobile home with 67' frontage. "Current code reads frontage must be 100'" was stated as the standard the board must compare the proposal against.
Board members including David Adam and Steven Fulkerson discussed clarifications about the project and potential future subdivisions before recommending that the county planning referral has a positive countywide impact. The board's GML 239 determination does not remove the need for local variance approval but signals the county-level review that the matter may carry implications beyond the parcel. Local review and any required variance approvals remain with the Village of Dundee.
