TOWN OF ULYSSES
BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
06/15/11
APPROVED 08/17/11
PRESENT: Chairman George Tselekis, BZA Members- Dick Coogan Carl Mann,
Code Enforcement Officer Alex Rachun,
Applicant: Patricia Splain Hillman
Excused: Andy Glasner, Barbara Bristow
Chairman George Tselekis called the meeting and a duly advertised public hearing to
order at 7:30 pm. He stated they are reviewing an application to construct a garage
located at 6125 Mayo Road. He asked the applicant to present the project.
Ms. Hillman stated they currently have a barn on the site. It is the ugliest one in the
County. The current barn is positioned within 2 to 3 inches from the neighbor’s property
line. They have researched and found one they would like to replace it. The barn is
currently 4 feet from the creek, they would be moving the placement of the barn so it is
10 feet from the creek but they are still not in compliance with the stream setback.
Mr. Tselekis asked Ms. Hillman if the new barn would be further from the center of the
road.
Mr. Rachun stated the front setbacks are in compliance as are the side setbacks. The only
non compliant setback is the stream setback.
Ms Hillman stated it would be in a better position compared to the current barn onsite. It
would also look better, she supplied a picture of the proposed barn.
Mr. Tselekis asked if the neighbor notices had been sent, had any comments or concerns
been sent for this project.
Ms. Carlisle Peck confirmed they had sent the notices and no responses had been
received.
Mr. Mann MADE the MOTION, Mr. Coogan SECONDED the MOTION
Whereas, there will be no undesirable change to the character of the neighborhood, and
Whereas, there would be a minimal impact to the governmental regulation, and
Whereas, the variation is not substantial in comparison to the requirement, this variance
will increase the setback from 4 feet to 10 feet.
Therefore be it resolved the Town of Ulysses Zoning Board approves the variance in the
interest of justice to John and Patricia Splain Hillman to construct a garage at 6125 Mayo
Road, Town of Ulysses. Tax Parcel # 22.-1-1.3
Ms. Carlisle Peck stated they have the minutes of 05/18/11. The variance was for a
Special Permit for the Namaste Montessori school.

minutes of 05/18/11. The vote was taken, ALL IN FAVOR, MINUTES APPROVED.
