Applicant requests variances and or relief from Town Code Chapter 301-29A1B, where proposed side yard abutting side street setback is 32 feet, six inches, and the minimum required is 60 feet, and where proposed accessory setback to dwelling is four feet, and the minimum required is 10 feet. Please raise your right hand. So I'm going to swear to tell the truth, to hold truth and not to put the truth. I do. I do. Do state your name and address. Michael Gangler, 159 Sunset Boulevard in Wading River. All right. Is that your address? So we are in the midst of a four month house renovation in which this past year we had a severe flood that required us to reevaluate our living situation. And rather than move, we wanted to stay in the district. So we took on the challenge of doing this renovation. The driveway specifically on angle provides a slope that brought significant amount of water into our basement. And rather than add dry wells and catch basins, we removed our driveway, or trying to move our driveway out of there. And we have a new driveway in the front of our house to defeat that. As a result of our renovation, we've converted our existing two car garage to extended living space. And as a result, our driveway ends at the end of our house. So we've lost all storage. And we've lost all the equipment and all the things associated with four kids. So we needed storage. And yeah, so that's kind of changed the landscape of our property amidst this renovation. How long you lived there? This will be 16 years. Is that the first time it flooded? It would come and go. We tried everything from chimney to window wells. And we've come to find out. The culprit was the egress window seal had gone. So it was filling up the egress window and coming in through the house. So it kind of, like I said, forced us to reevaluate our driveway. And we did. We moved it to the front.

So explain to me the garage that's going to be relocated. When was that built? The original one on the print, I believe, was 1985. That's a slide. I didn't have a clear head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head head final resting place. And the structure that's 14 by 22? That was pre-existing, yes. So it has a letter pre-existing? Yes it does. And I see that you're putting windows in it? There were windows in that one when we purchased the home. What are we gonna use that for? That one is, it's kind of, it's been a kid's playroom in a gym area as of late. It does store things. My wife works in there from time to time when we need to get out of the house. So. So what does the letter pre-existing use say? What use that is. Because it just says frame built. I'm just trying to figure out. Like I said, it was there when we moved in but it was next to the pre-existing driveway. So they used it for. And it was finished in sight or was it finished? When we had it. It wasn't finished. Okay. So you finished the inside. We did. So in this permit. Which I haven't seen the permit. Did they ask you to finish it? Or did you ask them to finish it? You did it already and it's got to be approved. We had done that already. It's. It's. It's already on there. Yes. So the building point. I'm gonna try to legalize it. For you. Legalize it as. As. So you're utilizing it as habitable space. It has a certificate of occupancy for a garage, not a habitable space. So the conversion isn't a legal conversion. And that's a problem. Okay. I'm not sure what's in the permit application. What I'm suggesting is that you amend your application and include to have that interior space recognized. And if it needs electrical outlets that need to be inspected, that kind of thing needs to be done. Okay. Let's be safe about it. Sure. Absolutely. Because a lot of people, homeowners, do work without permits. And sometimes they get in trouble and they burn buildings down. Those things happen. No. I'm in the midst of that renovation right now. So we're going to make sure that you get that done, right? Absolutely. And you need to be smart to make an amendment to your building permit so that you don't have difficulty getting your CO later for the other alterations. Okay. And we'll ask our help here, our administrative assistant, to make sure the building permit knows about it. Sure. That you'll be coming. Absolutely. Okay? So you're going to come back. You're going to amend your application. You'll repost with the amended application. And then go back to the building permit. Okay. So you're going to come back. You're going to amend your application. You'll repost with the amended application. And then go back. Why does he have to repost it? It's an addition to. Yeah, but he's got to advise the neighbors. It's pre-existing structure. So why would he have to repost it? Well, he's converting it to habitable space. It was converted to habitable space. Not legally. But you don't need to repost it. Why would you need to repost it? Well, I'll... Maybe look at it a little harder. I will. Thank you. I don't think it needs to be reposted. But anyway, I'm going to come back. But anyway, I don't have any other questions. Mr. Chairman, is there anybody else you think that wants to ask questions? I don't know. I don't think there's anyone out there. And we have no Zoom, right, Heather? No one on Zoom. So we're looking for him to come back. We're going to adjourn you for two weeks. Can you get this done in two weeks? For the pre-existing or for the garage we have on the property? Whatever we need to have done, right? Yeah. It'll include both. Okay. Because the one that was put on the property was for storage. Okay. And that's where we are with holding everything for our house. So it's already on the property. It just needs to be moved. Legalized. But you have a permit to do that. Yes. I have a denial letter. That's not a . I've gone through... Yes. All that has been done. But you don't have a permit for the interior space on the building next to it. It's just a... Yeah. It's a structure. We just need you to legalize that. Sure. So you can get in there and get the permit application in. We'll continue on with this. In two weeks. Okay. Is that fair enough? So I need to amend... You have to go in and amend your application. I do not believe you have to repost it, but I'm going to leave that up to legal counsel and the building department. Okay. You will need to update the date on your sign. So if the signs are still in good condition, you could just cross off the date and put the next date, which is October 10th. Should you need new signs, I can provide them. I think with the rain it was... Okay. ... barely hanging on. So I can prep new signs for you. That's fine. So if you have any questions, you can either, you know, tomorrow or Monday, whatever day you choose, you can either go to planning or you can come up to legal and we'll walk you through it. Because I could tell you're perhaps not sure, but we'll walk you through it. I know you will. Yes, we will. They're very friendly. They're very friendly. They just want you to make a little application amendment. That's all. What's the next day? So... October 10th. Mr. Chairman, I move that we adjourn the appeal 24-24 to October 10th. So October 10th? Second. Thank you, sir. All right. Mr. Prashetta? Aye. Mr. Zawieski? Aye. Mr. Barnes? Aye. Mr. Godzilla? Aye. And I vote aye. So you're all set? Just get that work done and we'll see you in two weeks. Thank you, Michael. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Michael. Thanks for coming in. Okay.

I'm here right now to speak with the Board of Trustees. I'm here to speak with the Board of Trustees. I'm here representing Maya Fenquest at 55 Jacobs Place. Just want to give you a little history on the property. She purchased the property back in 2017 with the intentions on expanding it, not realizing the permits that were going to be needed. As many homeowners that purchase properties, they don't realize what they're going to get entailed with. Maya had reached out to me probably about a year and a half ago to discuss the property, and like every client I take on, we do a full review. We do full head-to- américUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU 4730-01946 backslash 00001 and that grant is for exactly the survey that you're seeing we also went before the conservatory board had a couple meetings back and forth with them they had also approved the application that is before you today so what we're looking to do is do a one story addition that is let me open up the survey so I can look at the exact size we are looking to do a 15 by approximately 50 foot wide addition once one story addition it's just going to be an expansion of living space then only as they've outgrown the house and that was always their intentions on it we're going to be looking to hold about a seven and a half foot side yard setback which I had already advised the owner that when this is to take place that we will have it staked out by a surveyor to make sure that we're not coming back before the board in case the um the addition is made a little larger um as you are aware we already had an application that was before you this evening with Larry Davis that was in the community right in this area requesting a five foot side yard where we needed to keep 25. I'd like to make that part of the record because uh it's very similar to what we're doing today except we're not five foot we're seven and a half foot you already granted a five foot um I have a footprint a little floor plan that was drawn out that I'd like to give up to the board and I'd like to rattle off just give me one second because I don't want to make multiple trips I've also um went around the surrounding areas and we have 114 Meeting House Creek Road which has a small side yard 109 96 52 102 38 37 73 lots of ink lots of pictures right 60 pine 37 pine I believe the application with Larry Davis and Kelly development was on pine we and 55 and 80 pine so these are all pictures I took in the area here's a floor plan to show you that it's just going to be a den and I have a picture of the front of the house and an area on where the condition is going to be it didn't like I said I did do my round Robin um we're also before you in case you need an aerial and have an aerial as well the other thing we'll be for the board for today is we are looking to propose a front deck of the front of the house as you can see this house is not um your average house uh and with the front deck we're looking to put an above ground pool so uh we have that and we're looking to legalize a little shed this in the area the DEC who's usually very strict with uh a lot coverage and worried about the area and negative impacts environmentally have already approved this exactly as it is before you um I don't feel that it's a negative impact as we have DEC approval conservatory approval there is no increase in bedrooms it's just the den to increase living space for her family any questions oh anybody on the border I'm just gonna uh correct the reference sure when you say the conservatory you were referring to the um go ahead conservation conservation advisor too many building departments too many boards that go before sorry yeah that's quite exactly thank you I've been doing this for like I don't know I'm aging myself out right now I've been doing this over 30 years so yeah so any questions you may have no if I I just want to put on the record because you mentioned it with respect to Kelly development core yeah to me there's a slight difference there because we went from two foot to five foot it was an existing structure two foot off okay it wasn't a similar Grant to that that's really just for the record okay that's fine but yeah even though it was okay so have any of the neighbors seen the project um actually there's a neighbor that's here that's in support of the application what a surprise yes we brought a neighbor that's in support of it and everyone that there were only four people we had to notify there's not a lot of people in the area this is called more vegetated it's not that little uh does anybody want to speak against this or against it or for it I'm like we need to go outside if you're against you want to speak for it come on up Rick I'd be happy to speak for it you mean Richard no it is don't get about that don't get too busy don't get too windy hey I mean uh raise that right hand you sound as well to tell me yes please state your name and address my name is Richard Nemchik I live at 65 Jacob's Place right next door sweet so you'll be using the pool I take it I would hope so but uh you know the neighborhood is a slightly different than what you talk about at Pine everybody is closer on that street this doesn't affect the proximity to other houses I'm their exact neighbor I'm the only one that can see their house from my house I have no problem with this I believe this will be visible by any other house either except for when driving by for the pool but there's nobody in the neighborhood that opposes this I don't oppose it it's going up against their the prop of the house extension is going to be up against vegetation that is a triangle of about 50 foot by 50 foot maybe and it can never be built upon so it's not going to be infringing on any other house or a person it's going to be vacant land there it's just that can't be built upon so anyway I'm before it and nobody else showed up so I'm sure they're for it thank you thank you questions you're a good neighbor try to be they're good neighbors thank you all right there's no Zoom so so who's that's breeding I submitted an aerial view too that that depicts exactly what he's talking about shows you how ethically vegetated it is in the the land that it does affect that's not going to be built we saw the vegetation I know you did one thing we didn't go there at night I know right but never found the house but we're just kidding it's pretty house I like it who's got it I got it John Mr Chairman with respect to appeal number
