Planning Board forwards revised Greig Street house plan to Zoning Board over setback and lot‑coverage issues
Summary
Scott and Cindy Briggs presented revised plans for 8474 Greig Street that reduce overall height but increase footprint; the Planning Board unanimously voted to send the preliminary site plan to the Zoning Board because the proposal still falls short of waterfront and side‑setback rules and exceeds allowed lot coverage.
The Sodus Point Planning Board voted unanimously Nov. 18 to forward a preliminary site plan for 8474 Greig Street to the Zoning Board after the applicants submitted revised plans that shrink height but expand the house footprint.
Scott and Cindy Briggs described the changes as a response to earlier PB and Zoning Board concerns and said the new design has a shorter overall height with a garage beneath. The plan as presented shows a north side setback of 20.5 feet and a south side setback of 12 feet where the code requires 25 feet, and proposes 38.2 percent lot coverage where 30 percent is allowed. Chair Bruce Evener said he appreciated the applicants’ work; CEO Kevin Druschel reviewed applicable code and noted options related to merging substandard lots under Code 190‑15c.
Board member William Kedley raised a question about the nearby lot, saying a merger with the adjacent parcel could relieve some setback pressure; Druschel explained that a merger would require common ownership and could change required setbacks and waterfront calculations. With no public comment, Janine Fogarty moved to forward the Briggs preliminary site plan to the Zoning Board; Bill McKee seconded and the motion passed unanimously (Evener, Kedley, McKee, Fogarty — all aye). The case will be considered next by the Zoning Board, where variances or formal approvals will be determined.
The Planning Board’s action preserves the record of the board’s concerns about waterfront setback and lot coverage while allowing the formal zoning review process to continue.
