ZBA approves setback variances for Starlight Road property
Summary
The Zoning Board approved area variances for 117 Starlight Road after the applicant provided corrected mailings; the board said the work addressed pre‑existing nonconformities and recorded no public opposition.
The Town of Thompson Zoning Board of Appeals granted area variances Aug. 11 for a property at 117 Starlight Road following receipt of corrected mailings and a brief presentation by the applicant’s engineer.
Engineer Richard McGoey told the board the requested changes address pre‑existing nonconformities and that the recent owner did not increase those nonconformities. The board also noted a written letter of support from neighboring property owners was filed in advance of the meeting. Vegliante advised the board the matter is a Type 2 action under SEQR.
The requested variances from §250‑9 included a front (lake side) setback reduced to 8.9 feet (from 50 feet), a rear (road side) setback of 30 feet (from 50 feet) and a side setback request to 0 feet (from 20 feet). After voting on the standard variance criteria, the board approved all requested variances on a motion by Sean Walker, seconded by Darren Miller; the minutes record no opposition. The file includes written public support from Tom and Nancy Damiani at 105 Starlight Road.
The approval allows the owner to move forward with any required site or building permits and indicates the board considered the requests substantial but consistent with other nonconformities on the lot.
