ZBA approves 9x13 deck variance at 9377 Tosch Road; applicant clarifies placement on side of cottage
Summary
The Zoning Board granted Raymond Fox an area variance to add a 9' x 13' deck measured 24' from the water in the Resort district, after the applicant corrected that the work is on the side of the cottage; vote was unanimous and the board imposed a lighting nuisance condition.
The Town of Huron Zoning Board of Appeals voted 5-0 to approve application 1223-25A, granting Raymond Fox permission to add a 9-foot by 13-foot deck on the side of his cottage at 9377 Tosch Road. The Resort district typically requires a 75-foot front yard setback; the board treated the request as a Type II action under SEQRA and found no significant environmental impact.
Raymond Fox clarified during the public hearing that the proposed work is for the side of the cottage rather than the front. The board accepted the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program recommendation, closed the public hearing, and approved the variance with the same stipulation used on other residential approvals that exterior lighting must not be a nuisance to neighbors. The motion passed unanimously with Amy Connelly moving and Gordon Smith seconding.
The approval resolves a setback exception for a structure near the water in the Resort district and was supported by the board's site inspections and findings of fact.
