BP26-0003 was denied by Code Enforcement Officer, Thomas Grady, on February 2, 2026, for Daniel & Roberta Zedeker at 621 East Lake Road in Dundee, NY. Introductions were done by everyone present for the meeting. Dan said they purchased the 2-story house about 10 years ago & really like the property.
The front setback is 14 feet 5 inches where as 25 feet is required. Therefore, an area variance of 10 feet 7 inches to the deck is being requested on the lakeside.
The neighbors are supportive for improving the retaining walls, drainage & landscaping. The septic is an aerobic system that was approved by Yates County soil & water. The timber walls are considered landscaping in that location. The existing lot coverage is 60.3% including overhangs, buildings & decks. The proposed plan is for 52.5% coverage with the 2 bump outs being within the existing attached deck of the 2-story structure. The 2-story deck is 1 foot closer to the high-water mark; however, everything is being improved.
Jeff Townley made a motion to accept the variance for the front setback as presented and Tony Miller seconded. The motion unanimously passed at 6:25 pm.
Jeff Townley made a motion & Tony Miller seconded to adjourn the meeting at 6:38 pm.
