BoardBoard of Appeals, Town of Hempstead Board of Appeals Hearing
The Board held a hearing regarding a requested variance for a residential property located in Elmont. The applicant proposed constructing a residential elevator tower to accommodate a mobility-impaired resident, which necessitated variances for building area, height, and front yard setbacks. Board members expressed concerns regarding the proposed 60% lot coverage, noting it significantly exceeded the 27.5% allowable limit, and questioned the necessity of the large number of bedrooms and bathrooms included in the plans. Discussion also addressed discrepancies in the height calculations and architectural measurements submitted in the application.
