TOWN OF ULYSSES
Board of Zoning Appeals -
November 13 , 1995
Board Members Present: Russell Carpenter, Kenneth Christianson, Carl Mann, Alexander
Rachun
Public Present: Victor Del Rosso
Chairman Christianson brought the meeting to order at 7 :38 pm.
Item #1 : Victor Del Rosso, the property located at 89 Maplewood Avenue, Ithaca, NY, is
seeking an area variance of the Ulysses Zoning Ordinance, Article II, Section VI, to remove the
existing house and replace with a new house.
Zoning Officer, Alex Rachun, denied their building permit under Article VI, Section
1 , of the Ulysses Zoning Ordinance, due to the fact that the current house is non-conforming,
therefore, the replacement house will also be non-conforming.
s
The new house will be situated on the lot so to allow the side yard to conform to the
Ordinance. However, the new house still will not be one acre in size with 200 feet of frontage.
The contraints of the lot size were pre-existing prior to the Ordinance requirement. •
.
It was noted that all of Del Rosso's neighbors were notified of the 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 that the Appeal did 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.
Carl Mann presented a motion that the Board grant the Variance since all five points were in
conformance. Russell Carpenter 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 :48 pm.
ctfully submitted,
