Planning Board refers 8411 Sill Shore dock application to Zoning Board
Summary
The Board reviewed an application by Amy and John Wildhack to build a permanent 78-foot dock (86 linear feet total) that exceeds the 60-foot allowance; the Board approved moving the application forward but referred it to the Zoning Board for variance review after completing WAF and SEQR checklists.
Amy and John Wildhack asked the Planning Board on Nov. 17 for approval to construct an 8-by-70-foot permanent dock with an 8-by-16-foot platform at the end, producing a 78-foot main run and 86 feet of total dock footage where local rules allow 60 feet without a special permit. Amy said they "wanted to construct a 8x70 permanent dock with a 8x16 platform at the end creating a 78’ long dock with 86’ of total linear footage of dock where 60’ is allowed without special permit." The Board reviewed the WAF and the SEQR Part 2 checklist and concluded the item must go to the Zoning Board because it exceeds the permitted dock footage.
Ellen Farnum moved to approve the construction plan with the case to go to the Zoning Board; William McKee seconded and the motion passed unanimously (Evener-aye, McKee-aye, Taylor-aye, Farnum-aye). CEO Kevin Druschel advised that the Zoning Board will need to consider the total dock length under applicable Code sections and that the Planning Board’s approval at this stage allows the applicant to pursue the next step in the permit process.
