The Board of Zoning Appeals unanimously tabled nine area-variance requests for a proposed owner-occupied townhome project at 546 Schenectady St. The application seeks exceptions for three proposed lots, including 31.875 feet of frontage instead of 40 feet, no side-yard setback instead of 5 feet, and a 20-foot rear setback instead of 25 feet.

The project was not approved at this meeting because the agenda did not include a fourth lot connected to the proposal, raising public-notice and legal concerns. The applicant may return at a special meeting, and the application fee for correcting the oversight will be waived. The board also adopted a unanimous negative declaration under SEQR, meaning it found no need for further environmental review based on the action before it.
