RESOLUTION
13 Elkan Road, Town of Mamaroneck, New York
After review, on motion of Jonathan Sacks, seconded by Stephen Marsh, the following resolution
was proposed and unanimously ADOPTED by a vote of 5 to 0, with no abstentions.
WHEREAS, Joshua Centre (the "Applicant") requested a variance for an addition and decks
on the premises located at 13 Elkan Road, Town of Mamaroneck, New York and known on the
Tax Assessment Map of the Town of Mamaroneck as Section 4 Block 7 Lot 508; and
WHEREAS, the Building Inspector declined to issue such permit on the following grounds: (1)
Proposed one story addition will have a side yard setback of 9.3' where 25' is required, pursuant
to 240-42 B (2)(a); (2) Proposed second addition will have a side yard setback of 14' where 25'
is required, pursuant to 240-42 B (2)(a); (3) Existing attached deck has a side yard setback of
3.8' where 25' is required, pursuant to 240-42 B (2)(a); (4) Existingfreestanding deck has a side
yard setback of 4.6' where 25' is required, pursuant to 240-42 B (2)(a); (5) Existingfreestanding
deck has a side yard setback of 0' where 25' is required; pursuant to 240-42 B (2)(a); (6)
Existing freestanding deck has a rear yard setback of 2.2' where 25' is required, pursuant to 240-
42 B (3); (7) Existing deck has a combined side yard setback of 3.8' where 60' is required,
pursuant to 240-42 B (2)(b); (8) Existingfreestanding deck has a combined side yard setback of
4.6' where 60' is required, pursuant to 240-42 B (2)(b); (9) The proposed and existing
improvements create a lot coverage of 39.6%where 25% is permitted, pursuant to 240-42 A (3);
(10) and further the improvements increase the extent by which the property is nonconforming
pursuant to Section 240-69 for a building in an R-A Zoning District (the "Notice of
Disapproval"); and
WHEREAS, the applicant agreed to remove the free-standing deck, and, therefore, variances
numbered 4, 5, 6 and 8 are no longer requested; and
WHEREAS, the Applicant submitted to this Board an application for relief from the requirements
from the Zoning Code; and
WHEREAS, the Board examined the plans, inspected the site, reviewed the application and has
heard any and all persons interested in this application after publication of a notice thereof and a
public hearing thereon; and
WHEREAS, this is a Type II action having no significant impact on the environment pursuant to
6 NYCRR§ 617 et. seq. and accordingly, no further action under SEQRA is required, and
WHEREAS, the Zoning Board of the town of Mamaroneck makes the following findings as
required; and
A. The Board finds that the benefit to the applicant from the granting of the variance outweighs
any detriment to the health, safety and welfare of the neighborhood or community. In
reaching this conclusion, the Board considered the following factors.
Wage
Zoning Board of Appeals
June 17, 2025
i. Whether an undesirable change will be produced in the character of the neighborhood
or detriment to nearby properties will be created by granting of the variance.
The Board finds that granting the variance will not produce an undesirable change in the
character of the neighborhood or detriment to nearby properties because the deck has existed for
many years without complaint and the addition will enclose a small portion of the existing deck
to move the dining area indoors and square off an existing void over the garage, making the
appearance more consistent with nearby homes.
ii. Whether the benefit sought by the applicant can be achieved by some means feasible
to the applicants other than an area variance.
The Board finds that the benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some method
feasible to the applicant not requiring a variance because this is a unique lot, burdened by side
yard setbacks that are impossible to meet. Due to the size of the house and the pre-existing
nonconformity, any addition would require an area variance. The Board also notes that the
applicant agreed to remove an existing free-standing deck which has existed on the property for
many years.
iii. Whether the area variance is substantial.
The Board finds that the variance is not substantial because the addition utilizes the existing
footprint and a portion of an existing deck, and the deck has been in the same location for
several years and has not generated any complaints and the encroachment is only 1.2 feet more
than what had been approved in an earlier variance.
iv. Whether the proposed variance will have an adverse impact on the physical or
environmental conditions in the neighborhood.
The Board finds that the variance will not adversely impact the local physical or environmental
conditions because the addition will be built within the existing footprint of the house and one of
the existing decks and the applicant agreed to remove the existing free-standing deck which will
remove some impervious surface from the property. The Board also observed that the deck is
wooden, permeable and above grade with soil underneath. Therefore, no impacts are expected
with respect to light, air or runoff
v. Whether the difficulty is self-created.
The Board finds that the difficulty is self-created, but that this factor is not determinative under
the circumstances presented.
B. For the reasons stated above, the granting of the variance is in harmony with the general
purposes and intent of the Town of Mamaroneck Zoning Ordinance and will not be injurious
to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare.
Wage
Zoning Board of Appeals
June 17, 2025
C. For reasons stated above, the variance is the minimum necessary to alleviate the difficulty
detailed in the application yet also preserves and protects the character of the neighborhood
and the health safety and welfare of the community.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the subject application be and the same is
GRANTED, subject to the following conditions:
1. This variance is limited to the construction shown on the submitted plans as conditioned
and/or modified in accordance with the direction of the Board as agreed to by the Applicant.
2. The Applicant shall submit plans reflecting any conditions or modifications as above for
the review and approval by the Building Inspector prior to the granting of the building
permit.
3. The Applicant shall obtain a building permit within (6) months of the filing of this
resolution.
4. The building permit shall be void if construction is not started within (6) months.
5. Construction shall be in compliance with the plans submitted in connection with this
application, as conditioned or modified pursuant to the direction of the Board.
6. Prior to certificate of occupancy, the Applicant shall submit a final as -built survey to the
Town Building Depailiuent.
7 Prior to issuance of a building permit, the submitted plans shall be revised to show that the
free-standing deck will be removed.
This resolution is hereby certified and shall be filed with the Town Clerk.

RESOLUTION
197 Murray Avenue, Town of Mamaroneck, New York
After review, on motion of Irene O'Neill, seconded by Stephen Marsh, the following resolution
was proposed and unanimously ADOPTED by a vote of 5 to 0, with no abstentions.
WHEREAS, Emily Liftman (the "Applicant") requested a variance for a second -floor addition
on the premises located at 197 Murray Avenue, Town of Mamaroneck, New York and known
on the Tax Assessment Map of the Town of Mamaroneck as Section 1 Block 13 Lot 318; and
WHEREAS, the Building Inspector declined to issue such permit on the following grounds:
Proposed addition will have a side yard setback of 6.0' where 10' is required, pursuant to 240-38
B (2)(a); Proposed dormer addition will have a side yard setback of 7.5' where 10' is required,
pursuant to 240-38 B (2)(a); Proposed addition will have a combined side yard setback of 12.5'
where 20' is required, pursuant to 240-38 B (2)(b); ; and further the improvements increase the
extent by which the property is nonconforming pursuant to Section 240-69 for a building in an R-
7.5 Zoning District (the "Notice of Disapproval"); and
WHEREAS, the Applicant submitted to this Board an application for relief from the requirements
from the Zoning Code; and
WHEREAS, the Board examined the plans, inspected the site, reviewed the application and has
heard any and all persons interested in this application after publication of a notice thereof and a
public hearing thereon; and
WHEREAS, this is a Type II action having no significant impact on the environment pursuant to
6 NYCRR§ 617 et. seq. and accordingly, no further action under SEQRA is required, and
WHEREAS, the Zoning Board of the town of Mamaroneck makes the following findings as
required; and
A. The Board finds that the benefit to the applicant from the granting of the variance outweighs
any detriment to the health, safety and welfare of the neighborhood or community. In
reaching this conclusion, the Board considered the following factors.
i. Whether an undesirable change will be produced in the character of the neighborhood
or detriment to nearby properties will be created by granting of the variance.
The Board finds that granting the variance will not produce an undesirable change in the
character of the neighborhood or detriment to nearby properties because all construction will be
in the rear, not visible from street and consistent with the current design of the house, which is
typical in neighborhood.

ii. Whether the benefit sought by the applicant can be achieved by some means feasible
to the applicants other than an area variance.
The Board finds that the benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some method
feasible to the applicant not requiring a variance because due to the narrow side yards, any
addition would trigger the need for an area variance.
iii. Whether the area variance is substantial.
The Board finds that the variance is not substantial because the second floor will be added over
an existing deck and the footprint of the house will not change.
iv. Whether the proposed variance will have an adverse impact on the physical or
environmental conditions in the neighborhood.
The Board finds that the variance will not adversely impact the local physical or environmental
conditions because the footprint of the house will not expand, and the height will not exceed the
existing roofline. Therefore, no shadows or increased shadows are expected.
v. Whether the difficulty is self-created.
The Board finds that the difficulty is self-created, but that this factor is not determinative under
the circumstances presented.
B. For the reasons stated above, the granting of the variance is in harmony with the general
purposes and intent of the Town of Mamaroneck Zoning Ordinance and will not be injurious
to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare.
C. For reasons stated above, the variance is the minimum necessary to alleviate the difficulty
detailed in the application yet also preserves and protects the character of the neighborhood

RESOLUTION
20 Edgewood Avenue, Town of Mamaroneck, New York
After review, on motion of Stephen Marsh, seconded by Irene O'Neill, the following resolution
was proposed and unanimously ADOPTED by a vote of 5 to 0, with no abstentions.
WHEREAS, Daniel Blank (the "Applicant") requested a variance for compressors on the
premises located at 20 Edgewood Avenue, Town of Mamaroneck, New York and known on the
Tax Assessment Map of the Town of Mamaroneck as Section 1 Block 23 Lot 309; and
WHEREAS, the Building Inspector declined to issue such permit on the following grounds:
Proposed compressors will have a side yard setback of 4.3' where 8' is required, pursuant to
240-39 B (2)(a); for a property in an R-6 Zoning District (the "Notice of Disapproval"); and
WHEREAS, the Applicant submitted to this Board an application for relief from the requirements

WHEREAS, this is a Type II action having no significant impact on the environment pursuant to

A. The Board finds that the benefit to the applicant from the granting of the variance outweighs
any detriment to the health, safety and welfare of the neighborhood or community. In
reaching this conclusion, the Board considered the following factors.
i. Whether an undesirable change will be produced in the character of the neighborhood
or detriment to nearby properties will be created by granting of the variance.
The Board finds that granting the variance will not produce an undesirable change in the
character of the neighborhood or detriment to nearby properties because the compressors are
well screened from neighbors on left, not visible from the front of the house and very small. In
addition, the Board notes that these types of compressors are typical throughout the community.
ii. Whether the benefit sought by the applicant can be achieved by some means feasible
to the applicants other than an area variance.
The Board finds that the benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some method
feasible to the applicant not requiring a variance because any other location would interfere
with the rear yard patio and recreational space.
iii. Whether the area variance is substantial.
The Board finds that the variance is not substantial because one of the compressors is a split unit
which is very quiet, and the other compressors are very short and not likely to run for long
periods of time since they service different areas of the house and can run on variable speeds.
iv. Whether the proposed variance will have an adverse impact on the physical or
environmental conditions in the neighborhood.
The Board finds that the variance will not adversely impact the local physical or environmental
conditions because the compressors don't add much bulk to the property, they are low to the
ground, well -concealed behind a fence or plantings, which will also serve to muffle any sound.
v. Whether the difficulty is self-created.
The Board finds that the difficulty is self-created, but that this factor is not determinative under
the circumstances presented.

84 Lookout Circle, Town of Mamaroneck, New York
After review, on motion of Jonathan Sacks, seconded by Stephen Marsh, the following resolution
was proposed and unanimously ADOPTED by a vote of 5 to 0, with no abstentions.
WHEREAS, Mike Kinnaman (the "Applicant") requested a variance for an addition on the
premises located at 84 Lookout Circle, Town of Mamaroneck, New York and known on the Tax
Assessment Map of the Town of Mamaroneck as Section 1 Block 28 Lot 315; and
WHEREAS, the Building Inspector declined to issue such permit on the following grounds:
Proposed addition will have a side yard setback of 4.1' where 10' is required, pursuant to 240-38
B (2)(a); Proposed addition will have a combined side yard setback of 13.6' where 20' is
required, pursuant to 240-38 B (2)(b); Proposed generator will have a side yard setback of 6.5'
where 10' is required, pursuant to 240-38 B (2)(a); and further the improvements increase the
extent by which the property is nonconforming pursuant to Section 240-69 for a building in an R-
7.5 Zoning District (the "Notice of Disapproval"); and

any detriment to the health, safety and welfare of the neighborhood or community. In
reaching this conclusion, the Board considered the following factors.
111Page
Zoning Board of Appeals
June 17, 2025
i. Whether an undesirable change will be produced in the character of the neighborhood
or detriment to nearby properties will be created by granting of the variance.
The Board finds that granting the variance will not produce an undesirable change in the
character of the neighborhood or detriment to nearby properties because the addition on the
second floor encloses a small balcony, creating more privacy from the neighbor's house and it
will sit within the same sight lines as the balcony. The Board further finds that the generator
will be relocated to the same side yard as the addition, it will be well set back from the street and
there will be no change to sight lines. Further, generators of this type are common throughout
the Town and, except during power outages, the proposed generator will be exercised no more
than once per week during weekday, daytime hours.
ii. Whether the benefit sought by the applicant can be achieved by some means feasible
to the applicants other than an area variance.
The Board finds that the benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some method
feasible to the applicant not requiring a variance because the right side of the house is pre-
existing nonconforming, meaning that any change would require an area variance. Regarding
the generator, while it could remain where it is in the rear yard, the Board found that this
location is unsightly and unreasonably restricts the homeowner's use of the backyard. The
Board further notes that the impacted neighbor submitted a letter of support for the addition and
the generator.
iii. Whether the area variance is substantial.
The Board finds that the variance is not substantial because the addition merely encloses an
existing balcony, and the relocation of the generator adds little bulk to the property.
iv. Whether the proposed variance will have an adverse impact on the physical or
environmental conditions in the neighborhood.
The Board finds that the variance will not adversely impact the local physical or environmental
conditions because neither the addition nor the generator will add a significant amount of
impervious surface, and any runoff will be captured.
v. Whether the difficulty is self-created.
The Board finds that the difficulty is self-created, but that this factor is not determinative under
the circumstances presented.
B. For the reasons stated above, the granting of the variance is in harmony with the general
purposes and intent of the Town of Mamaroneck Zoning Ordinance and will not be injurious
to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare.

On November 20, 2024, the Board awarded requested variances. Prior to the expiration of the
variances, the applicant applied to extend the time to pull the building permit. The Building
Inspector explained that although the earlier variances were in connection with a substantial
addition to the existing house, upon demolition the applicant realized that the entire house
needed to come down, triggering the need for site plan approval. The Building Inspector further
stated that he reviewed the plans submitted to the Planning Board and they are the same as the
plans approved by the Zoning Board in connection with the earlier variance.
