Okay,
so
do
I
all
right,
welcome
everybody
been
a
while
so
we'll
get
through
this
one
case
at
a
time
good
evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
my
name,
my
name
is
kelly
donovan,
and
this
is
the
may
2022
zoning
board
of
appeals
meeting
for
those
of
you
who
have
never
attended
one
of
our
meetings.
I'll
quickly
explain
how
the
meeting
will
be
conducted.
C
C
Once
everyone's
had
an
opportunity
to
speak,
public
hearing
will
be
officially
closed
and
no
new
testimony
can
be
taken.
After
public
hearings
are
completed,
the
board
will
deliberate
and
we'll
make
a
decision
on
each
case.
The
public
is
welcome
to
stay
through
these
deliberations,
but
again,
no
public
input
is
permitted
once
once
closed
for
those
applicants
who
wish
not
to
stay
through
the
deliberations
planning,
department
staff
will
be
available
with
decisions
tomorrow.
C
C
C
But
I'm
going
to
ask
if
the
applicants
are
present
first
case
would
be
starting
at
5
20,
which
is
just
a
few
minutes
from
now.
It's
robin
signs
for
temple,
concord,
9,
riverside
drive
and
area
variants
to
allow
35
square
foot
ground
sign
where
one
is
not
permitted
and
a
13
and
a
third
square
foot
non-commercial
sign
where
four
square
feet
is
the
maximum
size
allowed.
The
r1
single
unit
dwelling
district
to
tito
I'm
going
to
assume
someone
is
here
from
that
group.
C
G
G
C
Okay,
we'll
get
to
you
brian
after
after
the
we're
done
with
these
so
back
to
our
regular
scheduled
activities,
robin
signs
for
temple,
concord,
9,
riverside
drive.
I
already
read
that
the
description
of
the
request,
it's
an
area
of
variance,
and
if
you
would
please
kelly,
please
introduce
yourself
and
tell
us
about
your
proposal.
F
The
temple
concord
is
much
smaller,
that's
only
like
a
nine
and
a
half
square
foot,
but
I
guess
that's
in
a
specialized
the
r1
zoning.
I
guess
I
think
that's
the
problem
with
that.
One
and
the
fact
that
there's
the
two
on
that
same
piece
of
property
we're
just
looking
to
basically
get
people
to
the
right
buildings,
because
there's
no
signage
there
now.
C
C
A
Correct
so
the
the
commercial
sign
which
the
kilmer
mansion
sign,
we're
considering
commercial
sign,
a
commercial
sign,
because
it's
advertising
the
use
of
the
space
for
events-
that's
not
permitted
in
the
r1
at
all.
Okay
and
then
the
temple
concord
sign
is
a
non-commercial
sign,
but
the
maximum
size
for
non-commercial
signs
is
four
square
feet,
and
this
is
exceeding
that
size.
A
F
I
don't
think
so,
they're
just
really
concerned
with
people
being
able
to
go
to
the
right
building
the
first
time
right.
They've
had
people
go
to
other
the
other
temple,
that's
down
the
street.
I
guess
because
this
one's
not
marked
as
well
and
with
the
event
starting
at
the
mansion.
They
just
want
people
to
be
have
the
ease
of
finding
it.
D
A
A
C
C
H
D
C
D
H
C
C
Oh
right
type,
this
is,
and
could
I
also
make
a
motion
that
this
is
an
unlisted
action?
Could
I
have
a
second
second,
all
in
favor
all
right,
all
right
all
right,
then.
I
would
like
to
open
the
public
hearing
public
comments
on
nine
riverside
drive.
Anybody
that
you
can
see
is
present
on
the
phone
lines.
G
A
A
A
C
D
C
So
will
the
proposed
action
create
material
conflict
with
an
adopted
land
use
plan
or
zoning
regulations,
and
we
need
to
determine?
Is
that
little?
Is
that
a
small
impact
or
a
moderate
impact?
I
would
categorize
that,
probably
as
a
small
impact
on
its
impact
or
not
jiving
with
zoning
regulations,
so
I'm
good
with
the
left-hand
check
mark
there.
Will
the
proposed
action
result
in
a
chance
in
use
or
intensity
abuse
of
the
land?
No,
no
change.
Will
the
proposed
action
impair
the
character
equality
of
the
existing
community?
C
C
Will
the
proposed
action
have
an
impact
on
the
environmental
characteristics
that
cause
the
establishment
of
a
critical
environmental
area?
No
will
the
proposed
action
result
in
an
adverse
change
in
the
existing
level
of
traffic
or
affect
existing
infrastructure
for
mass
transit,
viking
or
walkway
no
should
not
affect
that.
Will
the
proposed
action
cause
and
or
an
increase
in
the
use
of
energy
and
it
fails
to
incorporate
reasonably
available
energy
conservation
or
renewable
energy
opportunities?
No,
will
the
proposed
action
impact
existing
public
or
private
water
supplies
or
public
private
wastewater
treatment?
C
C
For
a
number
of
reasons,
which
we'll
probably
get
into
shortly,
that
there
are
a
number
of
similar
kind
of
situations
in
the
immediate
area,
so
I
would
say
small
impact:
will
the
proposed
action
result
in
an
adverse
change
to
natural
resources?
Wetlands,
water
bodies,
ground
water,
air
quality,
flora,
fauna?
No,
will
the
proposed
action
result
in
an
increase
in
the
potential
for
erosion,
flooding
or
drainage
problems?
No,
will
the
proposed
action
create
a
hazard
to
environmental
resources
or
human
health?
C
D
C
D
C
C
H
C
C
C
Probably
looked
like
it
was
closer
to
50
square
foot.
Yes,
so
I'm
I'm
pleased
with
that
and
it
needs
to
be
big
enough
to
see
you
have
to
see
it
driving
by.
So
I'm
not
sure
how
much
all
right
we
didn't
ask
the
applicant
if
they
considered
anything
smaller
but
between
10.
You
know
13
square
foot
sign
which
is
less
than
four
by
four
and
a
35
square
foot
ground
sign
you
go
much
smaller
and
people
are
going
to
miss
it
all
together
driving
by
I
agree.
C
So
I'm
I'm
satisfied
without
that
having
been
offered
by
the
applicant.
Is
it
a
substantial
request?
Yeah,
you
could
make
the
argument
that,
since
ground
signs
are
not
allowable
by
code,
that
it
could
be
substantial,
but
we
want
people
to
be
able
to
find
this
location
and
that's
the
that's
the
goal
here
to
find
the
place.
C
Adverse
impact
on
the
physical
or
environmental
conditions,
I
think
it'll,
be
a
positive
impact.
It'll
people
will
be
able
to
find
the
place.
Much
better.
I
mean
locals,
know
exactly
where
it
is
have
known
where
it
is
forever.
It
will
help
the
people
that
are
not
as
familiar
with
that
part
of
binghamton.
C
D
C
C
B
I
All
right
so
paul
has
a
property
on
murray
street
105
murray
street,
and
he
is
in
the
process
of
changing
the
youth.
It's
currently
a
single
family
home
two
stories.
Seven
bedrooms
he's
changing
it
to
congregate,
living
based
on
the
nature
of
their
business
and
renting
primarily
to
students,
and
so
we've
actually
been
in
front
of
the
planning
commission
and
received
approval
to
move
forward
with
this
project
conditional
of
going
in
front
of
you
folks,
because
there
is
something
on
there
is
one
element
existing
on
the
site.
I
That
is
not
allowing
us
to
be
compliant
with
all
of
the
requirements
for
congregate
living,
and
that
is
a
small
side
entrance
porch
that
cuts
into
the
existing
driveway.
So
for
about
12
feet,
we
have
a
reduced
width
down
to
8
feet,
which
is
below
code
minimum
for
any
use
in
this
re
in
this
zoning
district,
and
so
we
are
asking
for
an
area
variance,
and
I
guess
our
sort
of
argument
behind
that
is.
I
don't
know
if
tito
has
some
photos
of
what
the
exterior
of
the
property
is.
I
The
porch
is
original
to
the
building
and
it
does
have
a
very
particular
character
and
presence
that
we
feel
is
unique
to
the
house,
but
also
to
the
west
side
of
binghamton.
So
we
just
feel
that
you
know
removing
it
to
get
that
increased
width
would
sort
of
be
your
a
bit.
It
wouldn't
be
responsible
in
terms
of
you
know:
preserving
the
quality
of
the
architecture
character
in
that
neighborhood.
I
C
C
G
Has
said
before
in
the
past,
is
this
side
porch
and
if
peter
were
to
show
you
a
picture
of
it
has
very
ornate
woodwork.
It
is
clearly
historic
part
of
the
structure
and
contributes
to
the
historic
nature
of
this
building.
It's
not
just
a
normal.
You
know
walk-up
porch,
it
looks
almost
like
it's
a
carriage
board
like
a
carriage
would
pull
up
to
it
at
one
point
and
you
would
stay
in
the
device.
C
E
C
I
I
Some
of
what
paul
has
put
forward
in
front
of
planning-
commission
I
mean
just
for
your
information-
is
there's.
Definitely
especially
at
the
back
of
the
property
there's
proposed
some.
You
know
some
alterations
that
I
think
are
really
going
to
improve
the
the
quality
of
the
property
itself.
That
garage
in
the
back
that
you
see
is
going
to
be
removed
and
he's
putting
in
what
the
what
the
property
currently
lacks,
which
is
compliant
parking
in
the
back
and
he's
also,
you
know
increasing.
I
H
I
A
strategic
way
to
keep
that
one
tree,
but
also
thinking
I
mean
about
you,
know
I
think
pulse-
has
plans
to
put
in
some.
You
know
more
corrals
trash
storage
in
the
back,
and
I
think
he
has
some
plans
to
you
know,
especially
about
trash
pickup
and
and
how
that
can
be
handled
differently
at
his
properties.
E
Yeah
we've
been
hiring
out
for
the
garbage
pickup
because,
unfortunately,
the
system
that's
in
place
here
with
the
town
with
those
small
units,
the
wind
blows
garbage,
is
everywhere
every
every
day
and
the
blue
bags
you've
got
some
vagrants
going
through
the
trash
looking
for
cans
and
bottles,
it
doesn't
work
for
us.
I
don't
like
that.
I
don't
want
to
drive
down
the
street
and
see
any
of
that
stuff
and
I'm
sure
no
one
in
town
wants
to
see
that
either.
D
C
And
one
more,
I
just
have
one
more
comment
for
you
before
we
get
into
questions
from
the
board.
Since
you
do
own
a
lot
of
properties,
it
seemed
to
rent
a
lot
to
students.
I
don't
know
if
you've
reached
out
to
the
to
bu,
they
do
have
a
town
and
gown
kind
of
a
interface
to
work
with
folks,
like
yourselves
on
shared
goals.
E
E
I
E
And
I
want
to
give
you
good
pieces
of
property
to
look
at
say:
hey
it's
nice
that
dave,
I'm
telling
you
the
a
lot
of
the
properties
that
I
bought.
They
need
some
attention.
I
just
met
with
a
landscaper,
that's
coming
to
rip
out
shrubs
and
and
do
what
we
have
to
to
make
these
bring
back
the
character
of
these
houses
and
just
clean
them
up
fix
the
foundations,
put
new
porches
on
so
we're
we're
doing
a
stand-up
job
and
trying
to
just
move
forward
here.
Appreciating
help
that
anyone
can
help
us
with.
C
E
I've
got
to
go
before
the
historical,
because
it's
on
the
historical
area
that
I
have
to
check
with
that
that's
going
to
be
done.
While
we're
these
kids
move
out
in
august,
I'm
going
to
get
that
stuff
in
place
to
make
sure
that
we
can
we
comply
with
with
their
paperwork.
I
know
cheeto
had
told
me.
I
need
to
speak
to
someone
right.
C
H
C
E
C
I
E
E
H
C
D
C
C
I
I
I
think
parking
was
the
biggest
concern
and
I
think
you
know
the
only
you
know
lingering
comment
was:
can
you
put
more
compliance
spots
in
and
I
think
our
you
know
we
just
we
did
sort
of
push
back
a
little
that
you
know
we're
trying
to
like.
I
said
tread
lightly
in
the
environmental
aspect.
Not
basically
just
pave
all
of
the
back
of
this
house
with
impervious
surface
and
not
rip
out
trees
that
are
existing,
so
we
really
felt
that
responsibly.
I
We
we
as
designers,
we
couldn't
really
see
a
way
of
of
placing
more
than
five
compliant
spots,
but,
as
paul
mentioned
you
know,
five
is
the
compliant
number.
But
if
you
really
look
at
the
real
estate,
if
in
in
in
a
case
like
a
you
know
a
winter
weather
advisory
or
something
you
can
really
fit
a
lot
more
folks.
I
In
there,
and
if
or
if
these,
if
these
tenants
have
guests,
it
seems
like
you
know,
there's
plenty
of
room
and
it's
not
going
to
make
murray
street,
which
is
a
tight
street
and
is
a
one-way
street.
You
know
more
congested
or
unpleasant
for
the
neighbors
and
they
did.
You
know.
I
think
it
was.
You
know,
however
many
it
was
like
six
to
one
or
something
in
turn
when
they
ruled
on
that.
A
A
D
G
B
C
C
D
C
C
D
C
C
C
C
I
don't
think
it's
going
to
have
an
adverse
impact
on
physical
or
environmental
environmental
conditions,
and
was
it
self-created
I
mean
not
really
the
the
building
was
built
that
way.
That's
the
way
the
driveway
was
established.
That's
that's
the
way
it's
existed
for
going
on
a
hundred
years.
Probably
so
I
don't
believe
it
was
self-created
that
the
request
seems
reasonable
anything.
C
D
C
C
A
G
G
Okay
kelly,
my
understanding
is
that
the
neighbor
built
a
six
foot
fence
on
top
of
a
retaining
wall.
That's
three
feet:
yeah,
which
means
that
they
have
a
nine
foot
exposure.
They
want
to
build
a
nine
foot
fence
on
their
side
of
that
property
line,
and
it
sounds
like
they
want
to
build,
really
is
what
they
want
to
build
as
a
nine
foot
trellis,
so
they
can
put
plants
growing
up
to
cover
the
the.
G
C
A
B
H
H
C
A
A
A
A
C
G
G
D
G
C
C
I
believe
we're
going
to
proceed
with
our
discussion.
We've
looked
at
the
committee.
The
zoning
board
has
looked
at
the
facts
of
the
case,
the
pictures
submitted
and,
if
we're
going
to
proceed,
I
think
we
need
to
take
note
and
make
a
motion
that
this
is
a
secret
type.
2
action,
no
further
environmental
review
will
be
required.
Could
I
get
a
second
for
that.
D
G
C
A
C
C
C
C
C
C
I
really
don't
think
so.
I
mean
it's
gonna.
It's
gonna
do
two
things:
it's
gonna
cover
up
that
fence
and
make
it
look
a
lot
more
inviting
it's.
It's
gonna
make
it
less
kind
of
imposing
it's
nicely
preserved
and
I
think
it'll
be
protected
somewhat
by
the
by
the
trellis
without
having
the
growing
matter.
C
C
C
Is
it
going
to
have
an
adverse
impact
on
physical
or
environmental
environmental
conditions?
I
don't
think
so.
I
think
it'll
look
very.
I
think
it
should
look
very
good.
It'll
it'll,
look
better
from
the
street
from
both
properties.
I
believe-
and
I
mean
it's
possible-
you
could
get
a
little
green
effect
from
the
climbing.
C
C
I
could
see
that
point.
It
is
matching
an
an
existing
approved
meeting
the
zoning
requirements
fence.
That's
right,
adjacent
to
them.
That
is
the
sixth
of
the
fence,
so
they're
addressing
a
six-foot
fence
with
what
in
essence
should
be
a
six-foot
fence,
but
just
due
to
conditions.
So
it
is
conditions
beyond
their
control
somewhat.
Yes,
so
it
may
not
be
self-created
good
point.
C
D
G
G
B
G
But
they?
What?
What
they're
saying
is
that
for
a
board
to
conduct
business?
You
have
to
adopt
rules
that
would
allow
someone
to
participate
and
it
has
to
be
like
special
circumstances
which
are
generally
someone's
disability,
illness,
caregiving
for
a
family
member
or
something
unexpected
that
required
you
to
be
away
now.
They
say
it's
unexpected,
but
it
has
to
be
at
least
a
week
in
advance,
because
otherwise
you
couldn't
follow
the
notice
requirements
that
are
if
you
go
remote,
because
you
have
to
open
it
to
the
public.
G
At
that
point,
if
you
go
back
to
in
person,
it
doesn't
have
to
be
on
zoom
anymore.
It
can
be
televised,
not
televised,
but
stream,
but
it
doesn't
have.
The
public
is
not
to
participate.
The
other
thing
that'll
probably
be
big,
for
you
is
your
meeting
almost
always
coincides
with
the
city
council
yeah
for
safety
purposes.
Council
is
usually
meeting
in
the
chambers
these
days,
because
the
caucus
room
is
too
tight,
too
small,
too
air
restricted.
It's.
C
G
G
G
C
That's
why
we
were
tuesdays
originally
yeah,
but
then
we
got
into
a
situation
where
we
were
having
delays
because
of
the
schedule
and
trying
to
get
a
monday
so
that
we
didn't
miss
them
the
whole
cycle
of
the
month.
But
we
can
look
at
tuesday.
I
probably
just
need
to
check,
with
marina
and
mario
to
make
sure
it's
going
to
work
for
them.
A
G
Him
is
that,
because
of
the
work
session
being
on
mondays,
we
may
have
to
take
the
zoning
board
to
tuesday
nights
like
it
used
to
be:
oh,
okay,
yeah,
that's
that
should
be
fine,
probably
not
next
month,
but
the
month
after.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
people
were
aware
of
and
couldn't
make
their
schedules
that
they
weren't
totally
caught
off
guard.
