Enforcement Officer Dan Wolfe discussed with the Zoning Board some possible upcoming
variances. The first one is from Shelley
and Paul Salmons on11367 Wescott Lane FL S2 for a porch. It measures 18.6 ft from the fire lane. The minimum setback requirement is 20 ft. It’s only a foot and a half. Will the board allow them to build?
Yes they will.
The
second one is from Agnes Recco. She
wants to build a home where the old Shadigee snack place was. The lot is 150 ft. wide and 92 ft. deep. She will need to get a variance.
The
third one is from Norm Hershberger. He
purchased an 899 ft. lot he would like to apply for a special use permit to
sell sheds. There is not enough frontage
to display them so he will need a variance.
The
Zoning Board received a request for an area variance from Jason Barnum at 11316
W. Yates Center Rd. Mr. Barnum is asking
for a 22’ side setback variance and a 35’ front setback variance to build a
garage.
Chairman
Gary Daum asked Code Enforcement Officer Dan Wolfe if Mr. Barnum could move
back.
Dan
Wolfe – You will have to ask him that.
He does want to build on existing concrete pad.
Pat
O’Brien spoke with the neighbor and they have no problem with Mr. Barnum
building.
The
Area Variance Findings and Decision form was filled out.
Next
the Zoning Board discussed another variance that came in from Christine Brown
and Ronald Quintern asking for a 20’ side setback variance to build a garage
with a lean-to.
Dan
Wolfe explained to the Zoning Board that the reason they are asking for the
variance is because the original spot they wanted to build was going to need a
lot of fill. It will cost too much to
fill.
Paul
Lauze – the property is way back, it won’t be seen from the road.
The
Area Variance Findings and Decision form was filled out.
Chairman
Gary Daum let the Zoning Board know that Harold Suhr resubmitted his area
variance application. He is now asking
for a 48’ front setback variance.
Steve
Freeman briefly mentioned that the State now has prohibited any building within
25 ft from the lake.
The
Area Variance Findings and Decision form was filled out.
The
regular meeting adjourned for the public hearing at 7:40 pm.

The
following notice was placed in the Medina Journal Register on September 30,
2013.
PLEASE
TAKE NOTICE; there will be 2 Public Hearings held on October 8, 2013 at 7:30 pm
at the Yates Town Hall, 8 South Main Street, Lyndonville, New York 14098. The purpose of these public hearings is for Area
Variances. The First is Application # 11-13,
submitted by Jason Barnum at 11316 W. Yates Center Rd., Lyndonville, New York
14098 for a 22’ side setback variance and a 35’ front setback variance. The Second Application # 12-13, submitted by
Christine Brown and Ronald Quintern at 12196 Alps Rd., Lyndonville, New York
14098 for a 20’ side setback variance. These
applications may be reviewed at the Office of the Town Clerk, 8 South Main
Street, Lyndonville, NY 14098 during regular business hours.
All
persons wishing to be heard shall be heard at this time. Correspondence may be made in person at the
Public Hearing or by letter to the Town of Yates Zoning Board of Appeals.
This
is Application #11-13 Submitted by Jason Barnum at 11316 W. Yates Center Rd.,
Lyndonville, NY 14098. For a 22’ side
setback variance and a 35’ front setback variance. He wants to build a 24 x 24 garage.
Mr.
Barnum explained that he and his wife looked at the layout of their property. They both decided they wanted to build
there. Because there is already a cement
pad there where an old 8 x 8 shed used to be.
He also explained that they could go back further but it would then
block the windows to the house. The
septic is on the other side.
Paul
Lauze asked if the neighbors are okay with him building.
Jason
Barnum – The neighbors are fine with it.
Chairman
Gary Daum asked if there were any other questions.
There
were no other questions.
Next
is Application #12-13 submitted by Christine Brown and Ronald Quintern at 12196
Alps Rd., Lyndonville, NY 14098, for a 20’ side setback variance. To build a 24 x 40 garage with 10’ lean-to.
It’s
pretty straight forward; there were no questions or concerns.
The
Zoning Board discussed Harold Suhr’s revised area variance application with a
new site plan. He is now asking for a
48’front setback variance.
Chairman
Gary Daum asked Mr. Suhr if he had anything he would like to say.
Harold
Suhr – No
Paul
Lauze – Where the existing cottage is, it’s 17 ft., is that correct?
Harold
Suhr – Yes, we are going to leave it and use it for guests.
There
were no more questions.
