Tax Maps as District 1000,
improved with three buildings,
all as depicted by sketch prepared by Garrett A. Strang, Architect
and survey prepared by peconic Surveyors and Engineers, P.C.
dated November 8, 1986:
(a) Building "1," or barn structure, containing a
total floor area of 2400± sq. ft. and which at the inception
of zoning in 1957 and for a number of subsequent years was
used for otato storage a~.d.-p~ek-f-n~J~--, a--pe~rm-i-tut'e~(I--a.g-r~ultural
(b) Building "2", a two-story brick and frame build-
lng, containing a total first floor area of 1200 sq. ft., of
which 450± sq. ft. was used as office area, 464± sq. ft. for
retail-sales area, and 286 sq. ft. storage area incidental to
the retail and office uses. Both uses have existed as legal
nonconforming uses continuously since before the inception of
zoning until about 1977. During 1977, the westerly 286± sq.
ft. portion of the building was converted from storage area to
a car wash, and then back to accessory ~torage area. The
second floor of this building contains~a 900+ sq. ft. single-
family apartment, a legal conforming u.;e in this Zone District.
~c) Building "3", a one-story masonry building
containin~ ~ total floor area of 1656± sq. ft. located /
approximately 24 feet from the east side of Building "2", /
is and has continuously been used as a storage garage,
having received a Variance under Appeal No. 2210 on Novem-/
.. 3. For the record it is noted that a carpentry wood.- ~
/'"'working shop existed in a portion of Building "1" and which~
/ received a conditional variance under Appeal No. 3515 on
/..~Iuly 31, 1986. This use was vacated dur, ing December 1986, ]
t~ and the prior variance has become void Its entirety, thereby
reverting the use of Building "l" to the same use which
existecJ previously, to wit: agricultural barn.
4. It is also noted for the record that Building "1~'
was partly converted from warehousing ef potatoes to
warehousing of antiques about 1978 and was discontinued
during about 1985. No variances were found of record
permitting the conversion from agricultural warehousing
to commercial or wholesale-sales warehousing.
5. The property is nonconforming also as to lot area
(having an area of less than the curren$ two-acre zoning
requirement), and is located in the "A-.40" Residential and
Agricultural Zoning District. The buildings were built
prior to the enactment of zoning in 1957, and front .along
a State Highway.
6. No record has been found of the issuance of any
building permits, Certificates of Occupancy, or Site Plan
approvals by the Town concerning the premises, building
conversions, and changes of uses since the inception of
zoning in 1957.

Decision R~-nde~ed October ~ 1987
7. Article XI, Section lO0-118, Subsection (E) of the
Zoning Code provides that:
"...A nonconforming building may not be
reconstructed or structurally altered during its
life to an extent exceeding in aggregate cost
fifty percent (50%) of the fair ~alue of the
building, unless the use of such building is
changed to a conforming use .... "
Subsection (A) reads:
"...The lawful use of a building or premises
existing on the effective date of this chapter...
may be continued although such use does not con-
form to the provisions of this chapter, and such
use may be extended through the building lawfully
acquired to said date .... "
8. Appellants have requested a use variance to permit
the expansion of "...preexisting, nonconforming business by
nature of converting existing garage bays to business use
and linking same via an addition to existing westerly
building..." and/or interpretation on the term "use"
verses "tenancy."
9. There are a total of three buildings upon the
subject premises, and the buildings referred to in the
preceding paragraph hereof are the two front buildings,
Buildings "2" and "3".
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Grigonis, seconded by
Mr. Doyen, it.was
RESOLVED, that this Board make the following deter-
mination:
(a) that the use referred to as "garage bays'~
~<~existin§ in Building #3 is a use in conformity with the
1976 variance, rather than a preexisting nonconforming
business use.
(b) that only the first floor area of 1200±
~Nsq. ft. of Building ~'2" has continuously since before the
enactment of zoning been maintained and used for retail and
office areas, and
(c) that the Town may permit expansion of such
area as regulated by Section lO0-118(E) of the Zoning Code
within stated limitations (also see Cordes vs. Moore 1955,
308 N.Y. 761), and that such an expansi'~n would be
permitted provided it does not exceed 50% of this 1200±
sq. ft. area of Building "2".
(d) that the Town has not restricted the
premises to certain tenants or owners, and accordingly
has considered only the area and use of the premises and
buildings.
(e) that such an expansion of the preexisting
nonconforming use of Building "2" from 1200~ sq, ft. to
Page 6 - Appl. No. 3666
Matter of WIGHTMAN/FREY/REI___NHART
Decision Rendered October 8, 1987
1800± sq. ft. shall be permitted to those uses which will
not require higher standards with respect to yards, parking,
and similar requirements [such as restaurants, etc.],
(f) that the existing use of the single-family
900± sq. ft. dwelling unit on the second floor of Building "2"
and the use of Building "1" for storage shall be permitted to
continue and shall not be permitted to be converted to a
~.....nonconforming commercial use,
(g) that the existing use of the garage bays
for storage in Building #3 shall be permitted to continue
and shall not be permitted to be converted to a nonconforming
use [except that the storage use may be income-producing].
(h) that any portion of the square footage of
the buildings may be utilized for the requested retail or
office use provided same does not exceed the maximum
permitted 1,800 sq. ft. [1200 sq. ft. existing plus 50%
'as permitted under lO0-118E of the Zoning Code] and
provided further that the remaining portions of the buildings
shall be permitted for the existing "garage bays~" for
commercial or accessory storage use, and any other uses
permitted in this "A-40" Residential and Agricultural Zoning
District.
(i) That by the grant of this variance, this Board
hereby revokes any other variance(s) which may have been
previously granted for the use of these premises.
(j) That a proposal to expand the nonconforming
retail/office area in excess of that permitted by the Code
should be via application to the Town Board for consideration
on a change of zone or other legislative action since the
extent of the use variances permitted on this property has
been utilized to the maximum possible under our jurisdiction.
(k) that there be no storage of vehicles, materials,
or any other items in the open yard areas.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Goehringer, Douglass,
Grigonis, and Doyen. (Absent was: Member Sawicki.) This
resolution was duly adopted.
