Lake George Park Commission approves dock modification variance for Silvody property
Summary
The commission approved a variance allowing the Silvody applicants to add a 6-by-12-foot section to a U-shaped dock at a property with 50 feet of frontage, finding the project a minor action under 6 NYCRR 645.5.3 and citing no undue public-safety or environmental impacts.
The Lake George Park Commission voted to approve a dock modification variance requested by the Silvody applicants, allowing a 6-foot-by-12-foot section to be added to an existing U-shaped dock on a property with 50 feet of lake frontage.
Staff presenter (speaker 3) explained that the property sits inside the 20-foot setback on either side and therefore required a variance. The commission’s reading of the resolution cited 6 NYCRR 645.5.3 and concluded the project qualifies as a minor action that does not require further environmental review. Speaker 7 read the application number and findings and the commission moved and passed the resolution (application number referenced as DWM25640036).
Neighbors did not appear at the meeting to speak either for or against the application; commissioners reported a site visit and described the proposal as a reasonable solution to the applicants’ request. The motion passed on a voice vote with commissioners saying 'aye.'
