The new single-family dwelling will increase ground coverage and bulk inside of required seventy-five-foot shoreline set back.

Article 4, Subsection IV, Dimensional Standards, this section discusses dimensional requirements for each zoning district.

1-On the west side of this property a set-back variance is needed as the Single-Family Dwelling with attached deck with stairs will be built 7 feet 4 inches inside of the 13 feet 4 inch required set-back.

2- Also, on the west side of this property, a variance is needed for the Garage. This also will be built 7 feet 4 inches inside of the required 13 feet 4-inch set-back.

Please note: Article 5, Subsection VII, lists supplementary regulations for specific uses and structures.

If a variance is granted by the Zoning Board of Appeals, The Adirondack Park Agency will then have 30 days to review and respond to the site plan. Lastly, the Code Enforcement Officer will make final recommendations regarding the issuance of the building permits.
