Cold Spring Zoning Board schedules Sept. 8 hearing on 8 East Belvidere fence variance
Summary
The Cold Spring Zoning Board of Appeals found the applicant's packet complete and scheduled a public hearing for Sept. 8 on a request to build an 8-foot rear fence at 8 East Belvidere Street; the board asked the applicant for exact dimensions, illustrations and required notices before the hearing.
Chair Eric Worth opened a workshop of the Cold Spring Zoning Board of Appeals and said the board would consider a variance application for property at 8 East Belvidere Street. The board reviewed the application packet and determined it contained the required materials for the public hearing process.
Applicant Christopher Devine, who said he and his wife are under contract to buy the property, described the variance sought: "we're seeking a zoning variant, to build an 8 foot fence in the rear yard." The board agreed to schedule a public hearing for the regular meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 8; members recorded "aye" responses and the chair said there was no obstacle to holding the hearing on that date. The board directed the applicant to provide exact dimensions and an illustration showing where the fence intersects the rear face of the principal building at the hearing.
Why it matters: A zoning variance, if granted after public notice and review, changes what the property owner may build compared with current code. The hearing will let neighbors, the Planning Board and the public weigh in before the ZBA reaches a final decision. The chair reminded the applicant the board must allow 30 days for Planning Board comment, and by law the ZBA has 60 days after hearing to render a decision.
