Board of Zoning Appeals
October 16 , 1995
Board Members Present: Russell Carpenter, Kenneth Christianson, Carl Mann, Alexander
Rachun, George Tselekis
Public Present: Paul and Beverly Robinson
Chairman Christianson brought the meeting to order at 7 : 30 pm.
Item #1 : Paul and Bev Robinson, the property located at 6 Willow Point Road, Ithaca, NY,
is seeking a variance of the Ulysses Zoning Ordinance, Article II, Section VI, to build a boathouse
(pavilion type boat cover) on their property.
Zoning Officer, Alex Rachun, denied their building permit under Article V, Section
1A, of the Ulysses Zoning Ordinance, due to the fact that the property in question is a legal
conforming lot purchased prior to August 17 , 1977 , which requires 150 foot of frontage for such a
building.
It was noted that all of Robinson's neighbors were notified of their pending Appeal,
however, there were no objections received , and no one was present at the meeting to voice any
objections.
The Board reviewed Item # 1 and discussed the Appeal . The Board decided that the
variance would not conflict with any of the following five (5) points :
Point 1 : Whether the requested variance was a substantial request.
Point 2: Environmental and physical impact to the community.
Point 3 : Whether it would be a substantial nor an undesirable change in the character of the
neighborhood.
Point 4: Whether benefits being sought could be achieved through a different means.
Point 5 : Whether it was in the interest of justice to grant the variance.
Therefore, George Tselekis presented a motion that the Board grant the Variance. Carl Mann
seconded the motion. The Board unanimously voted to grant the Variance.
Carl Mann motioned to adjourn the meeting which was seconded by Russell
Carpenter. The meeting was adjourned at 7 :40 pm.
