Lake George commission approves Tabner dock variance after neighbors' concerns addressed
Summary
The Lake George Park Commission approved Resolution 2025-19 to permit a height increase for a legally nonconforming sundeck after staff said neighbors' concerns were addressed and commissioners reported environmental improvements compared with the existing crib dock.
The Lake George Park Commission voted to approve Resolution 2025-19 on April 22, granting a variance for a legally nonconforming sundeck on the Tabner property (application DWM24-000132). Staff summarized the proposal as a reduction in deck width with a slight height increase and noted the removal of a concrete crib dock that will require excavation oversight from DEC.
A staff member described the application: "They're proposing to decrease the width of that structure, but also increase the height just a little bit," and said neighbors raised several comments that were subsequently addressed. Commissioners who visited the site said the changes reduce the footprint and convert crib dock to individual piles, which the commission described as an environmental improvement. The resolution cites 6 NYCRR provisions and a Type II SEQR determination.
