ZBA #1533 2/19/26 Simeone So variance is to the house or the stoop? CEO Cassidy _ It’s to the face of the structure, but basically the stoop. Simeone Do you count the steps also? | CEO Cassidy No. Those are allowed to be in that space. Simeone It probably was conforming when it was built. CEO Cassidy It probably wasn’t but there were likely no regulations when it was built. Ernst We see this throughout the town, older homes that are non-conforming structures. Simeone In actuality the cover you are proposing is no or maybe slightly a few inches farther out than the stoop. So as far as new variances, it would be very minimal. Morgan I know construction has stopped but your intent is to complete it and there is some vinyl | to be done. Dowdall Not enclosing it, but siding for the front triangle of it and trim work. Morgan Are you going to wrap the posts? Dowdall I think I am going to stain them. Morgan Is there any electrical going to it? Dowdall No. Ernst No lighting under there? Dowdall No. Morgan Are there asphalt shingles on it? Dowdall Metal roof. Burkhardt If the applicant decides to extend the structure horizontally for a longer stoop or wrap around porch, would that be fine with this variance as long as she doesn’t push it closer to the road? CEO Cassidy If you want to limit that potential, then you would reference this structure and its dimensions. If you were to just grant the front yard setback, then she could possibly extend it in the future. If you limit it to what is there, any future expansions in the future would require additional variances. Simeone Recalled a similar application where the extension of porch required a variance. Dowdall Thinking about it, it would be so narrow. Page 2 of 4
