Planning Board approves rear addition and garage for Mark Converse despite multiple setback variances
Summary
The Sodus Point Planning Board unanimously approved Mark Converse’s final site plan for a 2‑story rear addition and 2‑story garage at 7583 Second Street, granting variances for reduced setbacks and increased lot coverage.
The Village of Sodus Point Planning Board unanimously approved a final site plan for property owner Mark Converse at 7583 Second Street during its Nov. 5 meeting.
Converse’s proposal would add a 2‑story rear addition measuring 26.2 by 11.5 feet and retain a 2‑story garage on the existing footprint. The application requests multiple variances: a north setback of 1.5 feet where 5 feet is required; a south garage setback of 1.1 feet where 5 feet is required; and a west garage setback of 5.5 feet where 12.5 feet is required. The plan results in 35.7% lot coverage where the code allows 30% (references: Code §190‑11, §190‑49).
Board members questioned details about the second‑floor space and drainage. When asked how the second floor would be used, Converse said, "they would install a bathroom and it would be an adjoining office." Members also inquired about bathroom locations and an outdoor shower described in the plans. After discussion, Janine Fogarty moved to approve the site plan; Bill McKee seconded and the motion passed with all five members voting aye.
The board recorded the approval without additional conditions in the meeting minutes. CEO Kevin Druschel and the clerk will carry the file forward for any required permits and recordkeeping.
