Page 2 - Appl. NQ. 3160 ~atter of ELSIE D. YOUNG Decision Rendered November 16, 1988 4. The area to be occupied as an "Accessory Apartment" is at the northerly end of the existing structure and will contain a living area of approximately 528 square feet (within an area 24'6" x 22') as shown on the sketch floor plan submitted with this application. The remaining floor area will continue to be used as the principal single-family residence of the owner. 5. Article III, Section 100-30(B) permits the establishment of such use, subject to conditions (a) thereof. through (p) 6. Subsection "m" thereof provides that "...the building which is converted to permit an accessory apartment shall be in existence and have a valid Certificate of Occupancy issued prior to January 1, 1984." Although a Certificate of Occupancy was not validated until after January 1, 1984, it is hereby determined that the documentation submitted is sufficient and the applicant has complied with this specific requirement, entitling her to same. 7. It is noted for the record that under Appeal No. 3761, a Variance has also been filed and processed simultaneously herewith requesting relief from Condition "m" under Article III, Section 100-3)(B){15}. (The subject variance was dismissed since the Board is without jurisdiction to vary the conditions of a Special Exception--see paragraph #6, supra, alternatively; Knadle v. ZBA of Huntington, 121 A.D. 2d 447 (1986); Roginski v. Rose, et al., 63 N.Y. 2d 735 (1984). 8. A parking plan has been submitted in behalf of the applicant depicting the area irmmediately east along the front section of the dwelling. The Bulk and Parking Schedule of the Code requires two spaces for the one-family principal use, and the Accessory Apartment will be required to have two parking spaces, for a total of four. (Each available garage space would be permitted as one parking space, when appropriate.) In considering this application, the Board finds and determines that: (a) the use requested will not prevent the orderly and reasonable use of adjacent properties or of properties in adjacent use districts; (b) the use will not adversely affect the safety, welfare, comfort, convenience or order of the town; (c) the use is in harmony with and will promote the general purposes and intent of zoning. The Board has also considered subsections {a} through {1} of Article XII, Section 100-121(C){2} of the Zoning Code. Page 3 - Appl. No. 3~60 'Matter of ELSIE D.
