Advisory Opinion – Marsha Stanley
The meeting was called to order at 5:00 PM by Chairman Baker. The only application on the agenda is an Advisory Opinion on the Special Permit Application submitted to the Zoning Board of Appeals by Marsha Stanley for the installation of a handicapped lift at 570 Sekon, Tupper Lake, NY.
Dean asked if there is anyone here to present on behalf of the applicant.
Marsha Stanley introduced John Mitrowitz, her contractor.
John said there will be a personal lift installed to access the boathouse. It is currently accessible via a stone stairway, which is difficult for Ms. Stanley to negotiate with her handicap. The lift is built by the Dock Doctors. It is a pre-fabricated system, built in Vermontville, NY. It has been powder-coated brown to match the boathouse and surroundings. It is a personal cage, large enough to hold 2 people, operated with a remote control, and can be called from both locations. It’s electric with 2 double pole, 30 amp breakers.
Dean asked if this lift system would be left out year around.
John said that it would be.
Dean asked for any comments from the public. There were none.
Edward Grant made a motion to pass the Special Permit Application submitted by Marsha Stanley to the Zoning Board of Appeals without comment.
