Board Members; Chairman David Plew
Thomas Bilodeau John Finn
Jacqueline Rosen Oscar Taylor
also present, Code Enforcement Officer, Bruce Weber.
In reviewing Mrs. Compagni's 4pplication for a variance to put a
mobile home in a business District.
In a business zone single and two family dwellings are allowed by
right on a lot 6,000 sq. ft. plus 1,000 DU/ in size,However, this
does not apply in this case either as the house trailer would
constitute -a .,gec-end dwelling on the same lot..
The Cortlandville Zoning Regulations allow its ZBA to grant variances
where there are practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships in
the way of carrying out the strict letter of the local law, This has
not been demonstrated by the applicant.
This application would be for Mrs. Compagni's, sister.
You all have a copy of the letter sent by Mrs. Compagni, stating her
reasons for requesting a variance. She wishes to set up a house trailer
on a temporary basis until she can find housing that she can afford.
She needs to be near stores, pharmacy store,hospital, all within
walking distance as she has no personal means of transportation.
I think you all have had time to review this application, I would like
to make a motion to deny this application for a variance, John Finn
seconded this motion and this was unanimously passed by the.Zoning
Board and becomes, RESOLUTION NO.20-87
This executive session closed.

Following review and discussion with Dr. Secord in regard to'his
application for an illuminated sign at his new location, McLean
Road,Cortlandville Mall., and in discussing the analysis of the
County Planning Board staff, which reads as follows;
The staff feels that the local ZBA has been routinely g,�,ant-
ing sign variances without any demonstration of practical diff-
iculty on the part of the applicant. If the ZBA is granting
these variances in violation of the regulation because they feel
the regulation is unduly restrictive, then they -should get the
regulation changed. The -staff recommends -denial of,this application.
Chairman Plew states, that he feels the members of the Appeals
Board have tried to use good judgement in granting approval for
variances, however, he believes that no two applications for a
variance are alike and therefore some flexibility may be reasonable
depending :on. area and_circumstances.
THEREFORE, Motion was made by Chairman Piew, seconded by Taylor
that ,--this application for a variance be approved. This was
r
unanimous and becomes RESOLUTION # 27-87

is 6 Sq. ft.
Members present:
David Plew, Chairman
Thomas Bilodeau John Finn
Jacqueline Rosen Oscar Taylor
Also. present, CEO. Bruce Weber, Mr.Caraselli (?) and other
residents of the Town.
It is noted that the County Planning Board recommends in favor
of granting the requested variance of Section 15.3--c of the
Zoning Law to allow an 8X12' temporary sign. The basis for
recommending this variance is that the proposed sign, set back distance_
is" -15.0' and hand painted, should present its case in an attractive
manner that 'will be unobtrusive to the passing motorists. At the
same time the proposed sign will project a quality image in keeping
with that of the subdivision being developed. Also, this sign is to
be temporary and is to be removed within a reasonable time.
After further discussion and review of this application:; Chairman
Plew stated, he would entertain a motion approving this application
for a 8 x 12' sign for a period of three years after being installed,
this motion was seconded by John Finn and becomes.unanimous ,all
voting aye. This becomes Resolution # 33-87.
Executive session now closed and will proceed with Public Hearing
