tree, or routing utilities through the basement, all of which are impractical and cost- prohibitive. -Substantiality: No, variance is not substantial, as it involves a minimal one-foot deviation from the required setback. - Adverse Environmental Effects: No, variance will not have an adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood. -Self-created difficulty: Yes, difficulty is self-created, as it arises from the applicant’s proposed placement of the structure; however, this factor alone does not preclude the granting of the variance. Motion by Tronolone, seconded by Greenan, to approve of 4’ setback from lot line. Ayes: 4 Noes: 0 Abstain: 1 Motion Carried 2026-011 Request of Jeremy Kamholz for property located at 2 Vista Court for an 8.5' separation from patio roof to pool (10' separation required). The board approved a variance for a reduced separation between a new patio roof and a pool at 2 Vista Court. - Applicant: Eric White (owner) and Jeremy Kamholtz (contractor). - Request: An 8.5-foot separation between a patio roof and a pool, where a 10-foot separation is required. - Project Details: The project is a motorized louvered aluminum roof system. The pool's curvature causes a 1.5-foot encroachment into the setback area on one side. - Justification for Variance: The applicant stated that making the structure smaller to meet code would make the patio space less usable. - Supporting Information: Neighbor support letters were submitted. Lang presented the area variance test findings. -Undesirable Change to Neighborhood Character / Detriment to Nearby Properties: The proposed variance will not result in an undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood nor create a detriment to nearby properties. The reduced separation is internal to the property and is not readily visible from the surrounding community. -Feasible Alternatives: No feasible alternative exists. Strict compliance would limit the reasonable use of the patio, and the area of reduced separation affects only a small portion of the pool. -Substantiality of the Variance: The variance is not substantial, as the deviation is minor, consisting of approximately one to one and one-half feet. -Adverse Environmental Impact: The proposed variance will not have an adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions of the neighborhood.
