Zoning Board approves deck variance for Infantine property on Sixth Street
Summary
The Zoning Board unanimously approved an area variance allowing a 12x16 deck that raises lot coverage to 35% from 30%, granted on safety and access grounds after the applicant explained grade differences between the house and garage.
The Village of Sodus Point Zoning Board on July 14 unanimously approved an area variance for the Infantine property at 7568 Sixth Street to install a 12-by-16-foot deck 29 inches off grade with two sets of stairs, increasing lot coverage to 35% where 30% is permitted under the village code.
Applicant Corrie Infantine told the board the new garage is higher than the cottage entrance and the deck would make it easier to move between the house and the cottage. Chair Tom Johns opened the item to public comment; none was offered. Zoning Board members Lynn Carlyle and Steve Nesspor said they had no concerns, and the board voted aye (Tom Johns, Sue Bassage, Lynn Carlyle, Steve Nesspor, Dave Marinucci).
"When we built our new house, the garage was higher requiring steps so we wanted to build a deck to make it easier to move freely between the house and the cottage," Corrie Infantine said.
The board treated the request as an area variance under Code §190-11 and approved it as drafted. No conditions were recorded in the motion. The CEO will note the variance in the file and update the permit paperwork.
