  • The front yard setback along Fenimore Avenue is 10 feet; the existing is 4.8 inches and the proposal is 4.8 inches.
  • The required number of off-street parking spaces is 137; the existing number of off-street parking spaces is 25 and the proposed number of off-street parking spaces is 25.
  • The required number of loading spaces is 8; the existing number of loading spaces is 0 and the proposed number of loading spaces is 4.  

Accordingly, area variances are required.  SEQRA Classification: This action is classified as an “Unlisted” action in accordance with 6CRR-NY 617.6.  The Board issued a positive declaration.

Case #1I 2021 - 946 East Boston Post Road (Section 4, Block 63, Lot 1) Located in the C-1 Zoning District.

***

The applicant, Simon Baigelman, seeks an area variance per Section 342-65 to expand a pre-existing non-conforming structure (single-family home with attached garage). The applicant proposes a second-story addition to an existing attached garage that currently extends into the required side yard setback. The proposed addition would not decrease the distance between the structure and the property line, but would increase the floor area within the setback.

C.CLOSED APPLICATIONS
1.

Case #1SP 2021 - 1043 West Boston Post Road (Section 9, Block 56, Lot 4B) Located in the C-1 Zoning District.

***

The applicant, Chop't Creative Salad Company LLC, intends to use a former bank site as a restaurant with a drive-thru window and seeks an interpretation of whether a Use Variance is required to retain the existing bank drive-thru window. If it is determined that a Use Variance is not required, the applicant will seek a Special Use Permit to operate a restaurant at a former bank building, and. Zoning Board of Appeals Special Use Permit approval is required. SEQRA Classification: Regarding the Special Use Permit, this action is classified as a "Type II" action per 617.5(c)(18) and the interpretation of the drive-thru is Type II per 617.5(c)(37). However, should the Zoning Board of Appeals determine that a Use Variance is required to operate the drive-thru window, the seeking of a Use Variance would be an Unlisted Action under SEQRA requiring further review. As such, the SEQRA classification of the Special Permit and Use Variance for the drive-thru is withheld pending the interpretation by the ZBA.
