May 3, 1999 I am writing to request a building variance for my home on 215 Forest Home Drive. My house lies approximately 30 feet from my neighbors' house but just a few inches from their property line in some places. My understanding is that this close proximity mandates a variance. I want to make a small 7 by 9 foot single story addition that would be confluent with the existing contours of my house. The addition would not increase the foot print of the house as it would be built above an existing shed. It would also fall within existing property lines. My house is a small, 3 bedroom home for me and my two teenage children. The addition would serve as a spare bedroom for visitors, and eventually as a bedroom for my mother who is already past retirement age. As she becomes older and no longer able to live alone, I want her to be able to live with me rather than sending her to a retirement home. I asked my neighbors, Michael Kandrach and Marggy Vangeli, for permission on the variance, but Mr Kandrach refused. He said his primary objection was that the addition would disrupt his view from the back of his house. I suppose that it might from certain vantage points of his home, but not from all vantage points, and certainly not by much from any perspective. The addition is small, and does not even extend to the deepest part of the back side of my house. It is hard'for me to believe that there would be any significant disruption of view. Furthermore, I find it terribly ironic that Michael Kandrach would object on these grounds. I know for a fact, that the Town has received complaints for years about the appearance and condition of Mr. Kandrach's and Ms. Vangeli's house and property. Years ago, I even refused to sign a neighborhood petition pressuring them to do something about it because I wanted to maintain good relations. I enclose pictures to provide evidence to my claim. The first, is a set of pictures providing general views of their house from the vantage point of mine. I remind you that this is Forest Home — a neighborhood that prides itself on the appearance and sanctity of its homes - no other house looks so cluttered with paraphernalia or is so poorly maintained. The second is a picture of what once was a healthy and beautiful old Willow Tree that Mr. Kandrach cut down last year leaving 5 hideous looking 12 foot long stumps. These stumps lie in the direct line of view that he says the new addition will disrupt — they would be only a few feet away from the corner of the proposed addition. Third are pictures of a locust tree Mr. Kandrach cut down just a two weeks ago that was no more than a foot from my house. The tree appeared in good condition. I emailed Ms. Vangeli earlier this spring asking about their plans for the remaining parts of the Willow tree and offering my financial support for saving any more trees they were planning to cut down. I never received a reply and was never consulted before the destruction of the Locust. I know it is their property, but if ever consultation were warranted, it seems this would have been a good time. My point is, that given the circumstances, I find it hard to believe that view, or aesthetic appearance have anything to do with Mr. Kandrach's real reasoning. I can only guess as to what his real reasons are. I would appreciate your assistance in granting my request. Please call if you have any questions. Sincerely, C.

The question of whether an action may be significant is not always easy to answer. Frequent- ly, there are aspects of a project that are subjective or unmeasureable. It is also understood that those who determine significance may have little or no formal knowledge of the environment or may not be technically expert in environmental analysis. In addition, many who have knowledge in one particular area may not be aware of the broader concerns affecting the question of significance. The full EAF is intended to provide a method whereby applicants and agencies can be assured that the determination process has been orderly, comprehensive in nature, yet flexible enough to allow introduction of information to fit a project or action. Full EAF Components: The full EAF is comprised of three parts: Part 1: Provides objective data and information about -a given -project -and its site. By identifying basic project data, it assists a reviewer in the analysis that takes place in Parts 2 and 3. Part 2: Focuses on identifying the range of possible impacts that may occur from a project or action. It provides guidance as to whether an impact is likely to be considered small to moderate or whether it is a potentially - large impact. The form also identifies whether an impact can be mitigated or reduced. Part 3: If any impact in Part 2 is identified as potentially -large, then Part 3 is used to evaluate whether or not the impact is actually important. DETERMINATION OF SIGNIFICANCE—Type 1 and Unlisted Actions Identify the Portions of EAF completed for this project: )b Part 1 000 Part 2 ❑Part 3 Upon review of the information recorded on this EAF (Parts 1 and 2 and 3 if appropriate), and any other supporting information, and considering both the magnitude and importance of each impact, it is reasonably determined by the lead agency that: A. The project will not result in any large and important impact(s) and, therefore, is one which will not have a significant impact on the environment, therefore a negative declaration will be prepared. ❑ B. Although the project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect for this Unlisted Action because the mitigation measures described in PART 3 have been required, therefore a CONDITIONED negative declaration will be prepared.' ❑ C. The project may result in one or more large and important impacts that may have a significant impact on the environment, therefore a positive declaration will be prepared. • A Conditioned Negative Declaration is only valid for Unlisted Actions Name of Action 1W (,arca � Print or Type Name of Responsible Officer in Lead Agency Title of Responsible Officer Signature of Responsible Officer in Lead Agency Signature of Preparer (If different from responsible officer) �' Part 2—PROJECT IMPACTS AND THEIR MAGNITUDE Responsibility of Lead Agency General Information (Read Carefully) • In completing the form the reviewer should be guided by the question: Have my responses and determinations be reasonable? The reviewer is not expected to be an expert environmental analyst. V • The Examples provided are to assist the reviewer by showing types of impacts and wherever possible the threshold magnitude that would trigger a response in column 2. The examples are generally applicable throughout the State -a for most situations. But, for any specific project or site other examples and/or lower thresholds may be appropr" for a Potential Large Impact response, thus requiring evaluation in Part 3. • The impacts of each project, on each site, in each locality, will vary. Therefore, the examples are illustrative a have been offered as guidance. They do not constitute an exhaustive list of impacts and thresholds to answer each questit • The number of examples per question does not indicate the importance of each question. • In identifying impacts, consider long term, short term and cumlative effects. Instructions (Read carefully) a. Answer each of the 20 questions in PART 2, Answer Yes if there will be any impact. b. Maybe answers should be considered as Yes answers. c: If answering Yes to a question then check the appropriate box (column 1 or 2) to indicate the potential size of the impact. If impact threshold equals or exceeds any example provided, check column 2. If impact will occur but threshold is lower than example, check column 1. d. Identifying that an Impact will be potentially large (column 2) does not mean that it is also necessarily significant. Any large impact must be evaluated in PART 3 to determine significance. Identifying an impact in column 2 simply asks that it be looked at further. e. If reviewer has doubt about size of the impact then consider the impact as potentially large and proceed to PART 3. f. If a potentially large impact checked in column 2 can be mitigated by change(s) In the project to a small to moderate impact, also check the Yes box in column 3. A No response indicates that such a reduction is not possible. This must be explained in Part 3. IMPACT ON LAND 1 . Will the proposed action result in a physical change to the project site?

The proposed action will involve the construction of a 10'x 17' wooden deck to the rear and at the second story level of an existing residence. Although there is a stream (Fall Creek) located less than 25 feet from the rear of the residence, the deck structure will not impede the flow of water or alter existing drainage patterns. Disturbance of soil for the placement of the support beams is expected to be minimal, therefore no significant impacts will occur from construction activity. C2. Aesthetic, agricultural, archeological, historic or other natural or cultural resources or community or neighborhood character? None anticipated. The proposed deck would be located at the rear of the property, so visual impacts are expected to be minimal. In addition, two property owners living immediately adjacent to the site (and therefore potentially affected) have submitted letters saying they do not object to the proposed deck. The house was built in 1866 and would therefore be considered of historic interest; however, the deck would not alter the structural integrity of the house, nor would it alter the appearance from the front. There are no known specific agricultural, archeological, or other natural or cultural resources that would be affected by the proposed action. C3. Vegetation or fauna fish shellfish or wildli es, significant habitats, or threatened or endanaer species? None anticipated as a result of the proposed action. Although Fall Creek serves as an important aquatic wildlife habitat, the deck would involve only a minor disturbance of soil, and would not alter existing drainage patterns, C4. A community's existing plans or goals as officially adopted, or a change in use or intensity of use of land or other natural resources? None anticipated.

Doing so however, will require elimination of one of two main entrances. To compensate for this loss, as well as to enhance the ambience of our home, we would like to build a deck with an entrance on the backside. Given the position of our house, only two of our neighbors would be able to see the deck (the Stephans, and Michael Kandrach and Marggy Vangeli) each of whom have provided written consent for our plans (attached). Two other neighbors, living directly across the street (Isabel Peard and the Bayers), have also provided written consent. We hope you find this sufficient for granting a variance.
