Commission approves variance for Morgan Asperger dock application (TWM2530131)
Summary
The commission approved Resolution 2025-46 granting a variance for Morgan Asperger's dock modifications (application TWM2530131), citing hardship from strict setback compliance and finding no adverse public impacts; vote reported as nine in favor.
The Lake George Park Commission voted to approve a variance requested by applicant Morgan Asperger under Resolution 2025-46. Staff described the property as a 35-foot lakefront parcel currently permitted for a U-shaped dock and boat house; the applicant requested modest increases to sundeck height and stair reconfiguration that cross a 20-foot setback.
During public comment the applicant or a resident speaker described steep shore conditions, bedrock and three mature trees that constrain stair placement and argued the proposed changes would improve safety and boat-lift longevity. The Commission read the resolution, cited applicable 6 NYCRR provisions, found unnecessary hardship, and concluded the project would not alter the essential character of the area. The motion was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; the chair reported the vote in favor (nine yeas).
The project will follow any remaining notice and permitting steps required by the commission and state regulations.
