DRAFT Chairman Ms. Rood: We have a letter from Mr. Gernatt. Dear members of the Zoning Board. I am submitting this letter to explain my intend, the need for a pole barn on my property in the Town of Boston. I am requesting approval to construct a pole bard to be used for the storage of my camper and other equipment, including tractors, trailers, and related equipment that ae currently stored outdoors. My camper is approximately 13-1/2 feet tall, which requires a structure with adequate height to be safely and properly stored indoors. AT this time much of this equipment must remain outside due to the lack of sufficient enclosed storage. Constructing a pole barn will allow me to move these items inside, significantly improving the organization, safety and overall appearance of my property. This equipment is from weather related damage and reduces visual clutter in the yard. Proposed building is intended strictly for storage purposes. It will not be used for commercial activities or habitation. My goal is to maintain a neat well-kept property that is consistent with the surrounding area and respectful of neighboring properties. Due to the size of the proposed structure in relation to my lot and the placement of existing buildings as a variance is required. I am requesting the board’s consideration for improvement. Thank you for your time and consideration of my request. I am here for additional information or to answer any questions as needed. Code Enforcement Mr. Robet Reed: Petitioner wishes to obtain two variances for a pole barn at 4859 Enser Road, Eden NY. From the same zoning section. The variances sought are as follows per Article 25, supplemental lot size and open space requirement section 123-136B.

The maximum square footage is 2,000 to the peak. You have presently had 959 square foot building will be 2,912 square feet for a total of 3,871 square feet or 1871 square feet over the allotted size. Three feet above what is allowed at 26 feet. Area variance number one allowed 2,000 square feet, present 959 requested as 1871 square feet for a total of 3,871 ft. Area variance number two 23 ft height requested is 3-foot, total is 26 ft. Planning Consultant: Sarah DesJardins petition #659, Paul Gernatt is requesting two area variances for a detached accessory building to be located at 4869 Enser Road, Eden, NY. This action is classified as a type two action and therefore is not subject to SEQR. Chairman Ms. Rood: We have some letters. I am going to read one and I’ll tell you to all the people who signed the letter. Dear neighbor, I hope you are doing well. I am writing to you to let you know that I am planning on a small improvement to my property. I am looking for your support. and I am requesting a zoning variance to construct a pole barn on my property. The building will be 522 ft. wide by 56 ft. deep with a peak height of 26 ft. Due to the size of my lot and the placement of my existing buildings, the variances is needed to accommodate the structure. The purpose of this building is purely functional. I plan to use the space to store my camper and other equipment that are currently kept outdoors. By doing this, I hope to clean up the appearance of my property. The items will be properly protected rather than visible outside. I want to assure you that I will be mindful of my neighbors and the surrounding properties. My intent is for this building to be well maintained and consistent with the character of area. If you have any questions or concerns. I would be happy to talk with you at any time. I truly appreciate your consideration and support as I go through the variance process. Thank you for being a good neighbor. Sincerely Paul Gernatt.

The drainage is perfect going down the ravine. It could not be a better situation. You have a nice piece of property. Mr. Gernatt: Thank you, I sure do! Chairman Ms. Rood: You sure do have enough stuff to put in the garage. Are you putting gutter on it? Mr. Gernatt: I was not going to because f the stone that will be around it. I will do what the code Enforcement Officer says I should do. But I do not want to put gutters on it.
