62.82-4-28, File #Z2007-01.  William Jobsis & Sandra Peterson are requesting an area variance for mixed use - retail (commercial) and residential dwelling units on their property at 363 Main Street, Rosendale.  The applicants’ have already been before the Town Building Inspector and have been denied a building permit as their request is over the density limit.  Kurt Sutherland of KWS Architectural Services presented the site plan maps to the Board.  The proposal is for a store front with a 1 bedroom apartment above it and  three - 2 bedroom apartments to the back with full basements.  The commercial/retail space will be approximately 720 square ft. The square footage of the existing property is 10,110; the proposed square footage is 20,000.  Mr. Sutherland noted that the prior building (the Grange building which burned down) and the proposed building is approximately the same square footage.  Ron Parenti asked if Mr. Sutherland knew what the footprint of the former Grange building was?  Mr. Sutherland did not, however, could look into it.  The footprint of the proposed is 2,816 which is slightly smaller than the former Grange building.  Denise Pitcher questioned the parking spaces that were available.  Mr. Sutherland advised that 7.5 parking spots are required and 9 are being provided.
