Croton’s Zoning Board of Appeals is scheduled to hear a request Tuesday, Nov. 17, to let two existing sheds remain less than five feet from a property line at 48 Beekman Avenue. The posted agenda lists the request as a new public hearing. The property is in the village’s RA-5 residence district. The redacted application accompanies the request for a variance under section 230-40(A)(1)(b) of the village code. The hearing is scheduled for 7 p.m. in the Georgianna Grant Public Meeting Room at 1 Van Wyck Street. The owner’s application describes the sheds as prefabricated plastic structures along the same side boundary, beside an existing vinyl fence. The owner says they provide storage, are hard to see from the street and match the house siding. The application includes a survey and photographs of the sheds and fence. The application form asks the board to weigh the size of the variance, whether another solution is feasible and whether granting the request could affect neighboring properties or change the character of the area. The hearing gives the board a chance to take public comment on the request. This preview is based on the posted agenda and packet.
