Zoning board grants variance for existing shed at 2088 Route 97
Summary
The zoning board read findings and granted an area variance to allow an existing accessory shed to remain in the front yard of 2088 Route 97 (applicant Teresa Patron), citing topography, well/septic location, substantiality due to the structure's existence, and no public opposition at the August 25 hearing; approval conditioned on payment of outstanding fees.
The zoning board issued a finding of fact and granted an area variance to permit an existing accessory shed to remain in the front yard at the property identified in the record as Section 28 Block 1 (applicant: Teresa Patron, 2088 Route 97). The board's written findings said the applicant owns and occupies the property, that the shed is proposed for storage, and that the property's topography and the locations of the well and septic system make alternative placement infeasible.
The board recorded that a public hearing was held on 08/25/2025 and that no one spoke against the application. The board concluded the requested variance was substantial because the structure already exists but that it would not have an adverse effect or impact on the neighborhood; it therefore resolved to grant the variance conditioned on payment of any outstanding fees by the applicant. The board's reading included statutory references to the town's zoning provisions and to Section 267-b of the New York Town Law governing area variances.
The board directed that copies of the decision be sent to the town clerk and made the grant effective as recorded in the board's determination.
