Warren Brown. Recording Minutes : Karin Carlisle Mr. George Tselekis called the hearing to order at 7 : 30 p . m . The request for a variance by Mr. Warren Brown was called. Mr. Brown had requested a variance of Article V, Section 1 of the Town of Ulysses Zoning Ordinance according to Article II , Section 6 of the same. Mr. Brown sought the variance in order to build a garage at the site of his cottage at 100 Willow Creek Point Road. Mr. Brown had met with Zoning Officer Alex Rachun and Highway Superintendent Jim Meeker to discuss possible locations for the garage on this lot and his neighboring plot at 102 Willow Creek Point Road. The site presented had been selected as the best location because it would not interfere with the highway department ' s safety right of way. The Board discussed the size of the lot on which Mr. Brown ' s garage was to be built . Mr. Hickey noted that, though less than an acre, Mr. Brown' s plot at 100 Willow Creek Point Road is in keeping with traditionally acceptable lake area lots . Zoning Officer Alex Rachun reported sending correspondence to Mr. Brown ' s neighbors and receiving no responses either for or against the variance . No one came to the hearing to speak against the variance. Mr. Hickey made a motion for the following resolution variance : Whereas the variation in relation to the requirements is not substantial when viewed in the context of it being a lake-area property, whereas there would be no impact at all on governmental facilities given that there would be no increased population as a result as this, whereas there would be no change at all in the character of the neighborhood and no detriment to the adjoining properties, whereas given the lot size the objective in question could not reasonably be achieved by any alternative method, and whereas it would appear the interest of justice would dictate that this application be granted be it resolved that the variance be granted. Mr. Carl Mann seconded the motion, Mr. Hickey : aye Mr. Mann : aye Mr. Tselekis : aye Mr. Christianson: aye The proposal passed and the variance was granted. As there were no minutes submitted for approval and no further business, Mr. James Hickey made the motion to adjourn. Mr. George Tselekis seconded. All in favor: Mr. Hickey : aye • Mr. Tselekis : aye Mr. Mann: aye Mr. Christianson: aye The hearing was adjourned.
