DRAFT construct his pole barn. He explained the planned use of this pole bard would be for storage and a workshop for his family vehicles. He explained to us that this is for family use and would not be used for commercial purposes. He informed us that the application variances would be 40x40 and 14 feet high. After hearing the explanation for location of and planned use of the proposed pole barn. We the undersigned, have no objection to his project and give him our full support and our approval and his request to the Boston Town Board in this pursuit of the variance needed to build this pole barn. It was signed by Michael McCloud at 7015 Sunset Lane, Phillip and Amy Nolden at 7026 Sunset Lane, by Neil McFaden at 7036 Sunset Lane, by Helen Eastep at 7044 Sunset Lane and by Sharon Stuart at 9302 Robin Drive. Mr. Tatford: My name is James Tatford. I live at 70323 Sunset Lane, Boston, NY 14025. I am requesting a variance to construct a pole building 40 x40 x14ft. on the eastern side of my property. It will be between my garage and the wooded area. Ms. Pryor: The height of the building that you are asking for is 20.916. Mr. Tatford: This would go towards the feet. The sidewalls are 14. Ms. Pryor: So, the height of the building is 20. This is what should be on your building permit. Chairman Ms. Rood: It is on the building permit. Just not his letter. In the building permit it is 21 ft high. Mr. Tatford: It is not on the variance request. Chairman Ms. Rood: It is not listed. Ms. Pryor: It was not listed in the letter that he had everyone sign. Chairman Ms. Rood: It says that in your letter that you had everyone sign. It said that the height was 14 ft. not 21ft. Mr. Tatford: I explained to them that would be the working size of the building. The peak would be higher. At that point in time, I was not a builder. I was not sure what the pitch would be until I talked to Shawn. Chairman Ms. Rood: Are any of the people here tonight? No. This is all we can go by is what they signed. Mr. Tatford: 18ft is allowable. Chairman Ms. Rood: At 21ft. That is another variance and it was not published in the paper. So, when you come in for a variance, we have public notice and the paper has to publish the notice. So, everyone knows what the variances are going to be in the building. Unfortunately, that was not part of the public notice that was out in the paper. It has to be republished. Ms. Pryor: We could know the height of the building down to 18ft, so you do not need a variance. We need to make the building smaller right off the bat. If you want anything done tonight. Mr. Tatford: I really need the walls to be 14 ft. tall. I need the height of the doors. To get the RV that we are looking at. The 18ft would be just too much of a flat roof and would cause major problems down the line. Ms. Pryor: We cannot do anything for you tonight we will have to republish the notice.
