Planning staff (staff member) and the applicant discussed existing surfaces at 1800 Mount Saint Mary's Ave (blacktop at right, gravel at left), clarifying that an existing gravel parking area is not an approved parking surface and that any newly provided resident parking would need to meet the 30-foot front setback from Saint Mary's Avenue and be paved to be approved; staff advised the applicant to submit site drawings to building/planning if they intend to formalize parking.
Troy Zoning Board considered three agenda items: a use-variance to convert a single-family home at 1800 Mount Saint Mary's Ave, a front-fence height/setback request at 34 Brunswick Road, and an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) proposal for 34 Christie Street. The board approved the Mount Saint Mary's conversion and a setback for the Brunswick fence (with conditions) but denied the height request; the ADU discussion produced a SEQR/type determination but the variance failed after members raised concerns about owner residency and enforceability of grant conditions.
