3601 Hudson

Storage units. Moved to August 1, 2022 for medical reasons.

4301 Niagra

100’ x 100’ lot. Asking for minor subdivision into 2 lots that measure 50’ x 100’ each. Two duplexes will be constructed. The original application asked for 3 duplexes. (We are unsure why it was reduced to 2.) People would have to come out of the garage to get into the house. These would be sold, not rented. Water runoff was an issue. No water, sewer, or sidewalks in that area. There aren’t any condos, either. Three local residents spoke of density and water issues; reminded the Board that only single-family homes are in the area. The architect said the buildings will be bungalow-style condos. They looked like the usual condos to many of those present. The Board’s position was that these would not add to water issues. The builder would bring in water, sewer, and sidewalks, which the Board liked. The height of the building elicited much discussion. Finally, the Board had the builder lower the height to 35”. Passed.

201 W. Burk

Right now this building is a warehouse.  It is proposed to have two single-family homes built on the lot.  This required a use variance on an oversized lot.  No comments from the public were forthcoming.  The Board felt that the area is moving more toward family living and approved this.

118 W. Rio Grande

This 40’ x 100’ lot needs a variance in order to put in a duplex.  It is located across from The Mudhen.  The lawyer stated that no business would be able to fit in that spot, so the alternative would be a duplex.  The planner spoke at length about the proposal.  The Board agreed and the project was approved.
