ZONING APPEAL #3046 404 WOOD STREET
(KAREN WERNER)
Appeal of Karen Werner, on behalf of the owner Charles Stanton, for an Area Variance from Section
325-8, Column 14/15, Rear Yard Dimension, of the Zoning Ordinance. The applicant proposes to
subdivide the parcel located at 404 Wood Street into two lots. One lot will contain the existing single-
family home and the other lot will be a new buildable lot. In order to subdivide the parcel, the applicant
is requesting a variance for an existing rear yard deficiency. The existing dwelling has a rear yard that
is 8’6” of the 20’ required by the ordinance.
The property at 404 Wood Street is located in an R-3b Zoning District where the proposed use is
permitted; however, General Municipal Law Article 3, Section 33, states that a subdivided plat must
comply with a Municipality’s Zoning Ordinance. Therefore, compliance can be achieved provided the
BZA grants this variance for the rear yard deficiency.
