Chairman, David Rogachefsky, called the regularly scheduled meeting of the Zoning Board of Appeals to order at approximately 7:00 p.m. He gave a summary of the procedures to be followed for each Public Hearing, how the Board would deliberate, how public input would be taken, etc. He indicated that written comments are welcome until the Public Hearings are closed.

PUBLIC HEARINGS:

6 Epping Wood Trail
Tax #178.03-3-14
Requesting Area Variances
Requesting relief from Codes Sections 185-113 C (1) & (2)
Requiring that no accessory structure shall be over 180-sq. ft. nor over 12' in height.

Richard Williams, attorney to the board, read the legal ad as published in the Brighton Pittsford Post, Wednesday edition, January 7, 2004, for 6 Epping Wood Trail.

Heinrich Fischer, acting as agent for Robert & Margaret Ormanoski, presented the application for 6 Epping Wood Trail as written. The 240-sq. ft. size of the pool house will also be used for the storing of the equipment for the pool and outdoor furniture. The height of 12' 6" could be scaled down to eliminate the height variance then the accessory structure would comply with the code of 12'. Some of the trees on the plans in the application are there now but the rest will be added in the new landscaping. Some of the plantings will be raised facing Route 64 (Mendon Road) to screen the pool from the road.

R. Falk asked if the arbor would be covered with plywood or covered in anyway.
Mr. Fischer stated that the arbor's frame would remain open.
R. Falk comments that as long as it remains open it does not need to be included with this variance.
R. Shaddock what is the time frame for completion?
Mr. Fischer stated that the time would be early spring the owners want to be swimming by July 4th.

Public Comments:
There were no comments from the public.

This is a Type II Action - no further action taken. Local matter, no SEQRA required.

Peter Webster moved to close the Public Hearing.
Seconded: Robert Shaddock

RESOLUTION:

6 Epping Wood Trail

Discussion:
The members suggested that the accessory structure should be scaled down to the 12' height as required by code, therefore, eliminating the need for the second variance.
