Sodus Point zoning board approves amended dock plan for 8538 Gardenier Lane
Summary
The Zoning Board approved an amended dock proposal for Anthony Elwood’s property after the applicant submitted revised dimensions; the board discussed code guidance favoring T-shaped docks and noted permanent installers advised bubblers were unnecessary.
The Village of Sodus Point Zoning Board on Jan. 14 approved an amended dock permit for 8538 Gardenier Lane after applicant Anthony Elwood presented revised plans and the chair proposed specific conditions. Elwood told the board he had provided "a revised document to Kevin at 60 ft, not 62," and described an L-shaped dock with a 10-by-12-foot platform and a 6-foot-wide walkway.
Board discussion cited local code guidance and practical installation concerns. CEO Kevin Druschel noted the board could treat the end area as a platform and said permanent dock installers advised bubblers would not be required; Chair Tom Johns said, "the 60 ft dock is within the code." The board ultimately adopted the chair’s amended proposal by motion; the minutes record Tom Johns, Lynn Carlyle and Sue Bassage voting aye. The board and applicant discussed neighbors’ sightline concerns and hoist placement; the record shows approvals from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and New York DEC were referenced by the applicant.
The approval includes the end platform described at the meeting; the transcript contains differing length references in discussion (the applicant repeatedly cited a 60-foot revision, while the chair’s amended motion described alternative measurements), and the board voted to approve the chair’s amended terms as read into the record. No public comments were recorded during the hearing.
