Neighbors tell Skaneateles planning board proposed 60 Fennell Street house would alter streetscape; request photo simulations
Summary
Multiple neighbors at the Feb. 5 hearing said the proposed house at 60 Fennell Street is out of scale with the block and asked the applicant to provide photo simulations to demonstrate visual impact; the board left the record open for those materials.
Neighbors on and near Fennell Street told the Village of Skaneateles Planning Board at a Feb. 5 continuance that the proposed house at 60 Fennell Street would be out of scale with the surrounding homes and could "transform the streetscape." They asked the applicant to supply photo simulations that show how the proposed building would appear from street level before the board makes a determination.
The application on the record lists project elements including a '2,729 first and second floor' figure (units not specified in the transcript), five bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms and a two-car attached garage. Neighbors urged the board that visual context — not just plans and elevations — is needed to judge the proposal’s compatibility with the block. The board voted 4-0 to adjourn the hearing after requesting the additional materials; no final vote on the application took place.
