ALSO PRESENT : Greg Lourey and Mary Ellen Lourey. The Ulysses Zoning Board of Appeals met for a duly advertised meeting and public hearing on April 21st, 2004 . The matter before the Board was an area variance requested by Greg & Mary Ellen Lourey for their property located at 5165 Jacksonville Road, Tax Parcel 25 . -2-3 . Chairman Tselekis called the meeting to order at 7 : 35 pm, and asked the applicants to briefly describe their proposed project. Greg Lourey explained his plans include changing the location of doors into his residence : installing one on the front of the house and one on the rear of the house, adding roofed porches at both of these entrances, and constructing a garage; his plans also include eventually constructing a pole barn and, possibly, an outbuilding to house an external residential heating system . Code Enforcement Officer Rachun noted the property would meet lot size requirements if the revised Zoning Ordinance currently being considered by the Town Board was currently in effect. The Board discussed the application , and posed questions to the applicants and to Code Enforcement Officer Rachun. IMr. Hickey noted the following, in preface to a motion : First, a porch previously existed, Second, the property has been the site of a residence and accessory buildings for many years, Third, adjoining property owners were notified of the area variance request, and have expressed no objections to the proposed projects verbally or in writing, and Fourth, the variance requested will encompass variances from the requirements for lot size, road frontage and the front-yard setback . Noting the above findings, Mr. Hickey moved the following : Whereas, in relation to the requirements, the variations are not substantial when judged in the context of past and current developments on the site, and Whereas, there will be no effect on the population of the area and no effect on available government facilities, and Whereas, there will be no change in the character of the neighborhood and no perceived or expressed detriment to neighboring properties, and Whereas, it appears that this difficulty cannot be obviated by any other feasible method, Now Therefore, BE IT RESOLVED , that the interests of justice dictate a variance be granted to allow construction of the following structures at 5165 Jacksonville Road, also known as Tax Parcel 25 . -2-3 : - a porch on the front of the residence - a porch on the rear of the residence - an outbuilding to house an external residential heating system - a garage a pole-barn Subject to the condition that the outbuilding to house an external residential heating system shall not set any closer to the road than the front of the residence as it exists today.
