2. Referral from the Town Board Concerning a Proposed Local Law Changing
Provisions of the Zoning Code with regard to the Calculation of Lot Coverage
Public Hearing
On motion of Dr. Mason, seconded by Ms. Dunkin the Public Hearing was opened.
The Board discussed the August 12, 2008 memorandum of Mr. Ryan and Ms. Hochman to
the Planning Board concerning the proposed amendments to the Zoning Code..
Fred Baron of 693 Weaver Street and a member of the Town Zoning Board appeared and
addressed the Board with his concerns. Mr. Baron stated that it was his request that
prompted this proposed amendment when he requested that the Town Board clarify what
would be included in the lot coverage calculation.
As discussed in the August 12 memo, Mr. Ryan concurred with Mr. Barron that the code is
inconsistent with respect to what improvements should be included in the calculation of lot
coverage and confirmed that this is what the amendment is supposed to clarify.
The Board expressed concern that the proposed amendments could have unintended
consequences and that additional information should be obtained with respect to (i)the
prevalence of impermeable surfaces in residential and commercial zones before the
enactment of a blanket rule of the type set forth in the proposed amendments, and (ii)
whether changes to the current requirements are needed to solve actual problems created by
the placement of ancillary structures (e.g., terraces, pools, etc.).
On motion of Ms. Dunkin, seconded by Ms. Korn the Board voted to close the Public Hearing
5-0
On motion of Dr. Mason, seconded by Ms. Dunkin, the Board unanimously voted (1)to
approve the Ryan/Hochman Memorandum, subject to certain changes as discussed during
