Hamel and Viebrock propose lot‑transfer creating substandard 1.723‑acre parcel under 2‑acre minimum
Summary
A new application by Helen Hamel and Richard Viebrock proposes transferring 0.277 acres between parcels, creating one parcel of 1.723 acres where the town requires 2 acres; the agenda lists the lot‑transfer as a new application for May 27, 2026.
The Town of Claverack Zoning Board of Appeals agenda lists a new application from Helen Hamel and Richard Viebrock involving a lot‑line change between parcels identified as Tax Map SBL 112 00–02–07.111 and 112.00–02–13. The proposed transfer of 0.277 acres would reduce one resulting parcel to 1.723 acres, below the town’s stated 2‑acre minimum lot size.
The agenda text reads: "Helen Hamel & Richard Viebrock Area Variance: Tax Map #(SBL) 112 00 – 02 – 07 . 111 & 112 . 00 – 02 – 13 Area Variance of 0.277 acres to move 1.972 acres from 3.701 acres in parcel #112 00 – 02 – 07 . 111 to add to parcel #112 . 00 – 02 – 13 which creates a substandard lot size of 1.723‑acres where 2‑acres is required." The transcript does not specify the section of the zoning code that establishes the 2‑acre minimum nor does it record any hearing testimony or a vote in this excerpt.
Because the agenda excerpt supplies parcel identifiers and exact acreage figures, the board will need to determine whether the proposed change qualifies for an area‑variance exception. The agenda does not record a decision, conditions, or a date for any continued hearing; those items were not present in the provided transcript excerpt.
