Summary

The board approved a preliminary site plan and granted a small setback variance to allow a 26' x 34' garage at 8297 Lake Street, after applicant James Rudd (represented by Matt Nowak) presented the proposal and CEO Kevin Druschel confirmed there were no fire-code issues.

The Village of Sodus Point Planning Board voted Feb. 3 to allow construction of a 26-by-34-foot garage at 8297 Lake Street with reduced setbacks. Applicant James Rudd was represented by Matt Nowak, who told the board "they would need a variance for the garage for about 6 inches" because the proposed garage would sit 11 feet from the side property line where 12.5 feet is required and 12 feet from the front where 25 feet is required.

CEO Kevin Druschel read applicable fire-code provisions and stated there were no fire-code issues for this application. Board members asked questions about the garage door dimensions, service doors, windows and ventilation; Matt Nowak confirmed the submitted drawings and noted the structure would not be the primary residence. Bill Kedley moved to approve construction per the submitted plans, Janine Fogarty seconded, and the motion was recorded as passing with votes: Evener—aye; Kedley—aye; McKee—nay; Fogarty—aye.
