KINNIE AND BILL & JAN HANKS - VARIANCE REQUEST TO ALLOW SIX
TRANSFERRED DWELLING UNITS TO BE BUILT AS INDIVIDUAL FREE
STANDING UNITS.

weather permits. The shed will be removed when construction begins on the new
units.

to recommend to Town Board to revise the existing Development Agreement.
The motion passed unanimously with two absent.

SETBACK VARIANCE REQUEST FROM SECTION 17.20.040 (b) 4.
Senior Planner Joseph revised the Staff Report. Ross Stephen from Rocky
Mountain Consultants represented the applicants. The proposal would eliminate four
road accesses off Stanley Avenue with one new access off Prospect Avenue. The
existing building fagade will be consistent with the new building. There was no
public comment. If approved, the variance will be specific to the use of Senior
Assisted Living. The plans indicate only one kitchen area for the entire building;
there are no kitchens in the individual units.
Due to the unique nature of this lot and other restrictions, it was moved and
seconded (Barker/Jeffrey) to approve the variance request with the foliowing
conditions. The motion passed unanimously, with two absent.

buffer that will compensate for reduction in the width of the parking setback.

UNIT 71. FALL RIVER VILLAGE MOBILE HOME PARK. APPLICANT: SHARON
McCUTCHEN - REQUEST TO REPLACE A NON-CONFORMING STRUCTURE
SECTIONS 17.16.040.17.32.070.17.36.010 (d)
Chief Building Official Birchfield presented the Staff Report based on his letter to Ms.
McCutchen dated January 24, 2000. This is a zoning variance request only. The
applicant is requesting permission to replace the burned trailer with another trailer in
an illegal non-conforming mobile home park. Mobile homes require building permits
and must comply with all regulations. Utilities must also meet current code. The
application process had been expedited in order to assist Ms. McCutchen due to the
tragedy. Pastor Dave Curry represented the applicant. There was no insurance
on the trailer at the time of the fire and another 4 years of payments are still due on
the burned trailer. If the existing trailer were to be repaired, a variance would not be
needed.
Board comments: Until the owner of the trailer park property makes some effort to
bring the property into compliance, the Board is reluctant to approve a variance. A
variance may not even be allowed without the land owner being represented. It is
the Board’s responsibility to follow the ordinances of the Town.
The applicant commented that she will have to repair the current trailer. Chief
Building Official Birchfield advised only those items restored will be required to be
brought up to Code.
With sincere regret and sympathy for Ms. McCutchen’s situation, it was moved
and seconded (Barker/Jeffrey) to deny the variance request. The motion
passed unanimously with two absent.
REPORTS

There being no further business. Chair Baudek adjourned the meeting at
