ZBA approves variances for attached garage at 171 South Plank Road
Summary
The Zoning Board approved area variances to allow a 972-square-foot attached garage and roof extension at 171 South Plank Road (owner David Lema). The Board categorized the action as SEQRA Type II and approved the variances unanimously after the applicant's representative described setbacks and screening plans.
The Town of Newburgh Zoning Board of Appeals on July 23 approved area variances for owner David Lema to add a 972-square-foot attached garage at 171 South Plank Road. Jonathan Cella, the applicant's representative, told the Board the new garage will be attached at the rear, maintain the existing three-foot offset from the western property line and reconfigure the rear corner to five feet to provide additional buffer to the neighboring property.
Board members discussed lot coverage and stormwater classification for gravel and paving; Mr. Cella confirmed parking and loading areas will be paved and said screening and replacement fencing (white PVC privacy screening) will be provided. After weighing the five variance factors and classifying the matter as a Type II action under SEQRA, Mr. James Eberhart moved to approve and Mr. Gregory Hermance seconded; the motion carried on a unanimous roll call.
