Minutes of Meeting of
November 3, 2003
Village of Cayuga Heights
Zoning Board of Appeals
Present: Chairman Robin Cisne, Members Kenneth Robinson, Joe Petrillose, Marian Kira,
Wayne Fleming and Peter McClelland. Others: Brent Cross, Raymond and Margaret
VanHoutte, Al Biloski.
Chairman Cisne opened the meeting at 7:00 pm and gave an overview of the meeting format
and the meeting requirements. The first case up for review was a request by Raymond and
Margaret Van Houtte requesting to allow an existing 14.8’ side yard setback, which is less
than the 15’ required, and to allow an existing lot coverage of 15%, which is greater than the
12% allowed in a Residence District, at 1 Strawberry Lane (tax parcel 8.-2-11). Brent Cross
described the situation with the request and reiterated that there was a “miscalculation” on
the numbers used originally to get a Certificate of Occupancy approved. Chairman Cisne
asked if anyone wanted to speak to this situation. No further communication was heard
from residents on this matter.
Motion by Wayne Fleming
MOVE to approve petition for variance to allow Ray and Margaret VanHoutte an existing
14.8’ side yard setback, and to allow existing lot coverage of 15% at 1 Strawberry Lane (tax
parcel 8.-2-11).
Seconded by Ken Robinson.
APPROVED by Robin Cisne, Marian Kira, Ken Robinson, Joe Petrillose and Wayne
Fleming
The second action brought before the Board was a request by Alan Biloski to construct a
deck on his home with a 6.1’ side yard setback, which is less than the 15’ required in a
Residence District, at 508 Highland Road (tax parcel 12.-2-5).
Brent Cross spoke on the request. The south side of the house is in full compliance now as
part of the house was removed. The deck addition lines up with the existing structure which
also is under the required 15’ setback. Lot coverage is good (9.4%) which is well under the
12%, not including the demolition. No other neighbors have spoken on this. Mr. Biloski
wrote to the owner on the side affected (Michael Steinberg) and he approved.
Motion by Wayne Fleming
MOVE to approve the side yard setback.
Seconded by Marian Kira
APPROVED by Robin Cisne, Marian Kira, Ken Robinson, Joe Petrillose and Wayne
Fleming.
Meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m.
