~·.',~i~:~hold Town Board o~j, ppeals -2- ·July 3, 1 ~) Special Meeting
~ ~Appeal No. 3246 - PATRICK CARRIG and MARK S. McDONALD, continued:)
By this appeal, applicants seek approval of access over a private
right-of-way one rod (16..5') in width having a traveled width of
approximately eight feet and varied lengths commencing at a point
on the north side of Bergen Avenue, as follows: (al north 998.33
feet, (b) east 140.00 feet, (c) north 2226.71 feet, and (d)
15 feet westerly along the southerly side of the parcel in question,
..... .as shown on survey prepared by Otto W. VanTuyl and Son January 31,
1964 for Eric-S. Malm.
The following report has been prepared indicating as follows:
- '-c~' The right-of-way is on original ground. Within the first 200
"~feet of length, there"is some gravel content, and the base of the
right-of-way is in fair condition i,n need of some improvements.
The last 250 feet of l'ength also has ~ome gravel content. The
traveled right-of-way appears to be within the perimeter of the
legal 16.5-foot right-of-way, except at the sharp-turn areas where
over-s'ized vehicles would appear to h~ve difficulty staying within
the right-of-way.. The board members agree that improvements are
~i'i.'i~i~necessary for sufficient and safe accessibility 'by emergency and
other vehicles,' and are subsequently noted herein.
The parcel in'question is vacant an-d contains 3.949 acres with
174.35 feet of frontage along a private r~ht-of-way. For the .
record it is noted that there is an =application under Appeal
No. 3217 for Joseph Wanat requesting an area variance in a proposed
set-off (division) of land, which appears to accessible by this
same right-of-way.
In considering this appeal, the board also determines: (al
that the relief requested is not substantial under the circumstances
of this appeal; (b) that by.granting the relief requested, the
character of the neighborhood will not be adversely affected or
changed; (c) that by allo.~ing the variance, no substantial detri-
ment to adjoining properties-.would be created; (d) no adverse
effects will be produced on a~ilable governmental facilities of
any increased population if the'variance is allowed; (el that the
interests of justice will be served by allowing the variance as
indicated below.
Accordingly, on motion b~'"~'~. 'Sawicki seconded by Mr. Douglass,
it was ·
RESOLVED, that Appeal No. 3246~', application' for PAT~IC~ CARRIG
