Zoning Ordinance and Consideration of a request for sideyard building setback
variance as per Chapter 3.5(E) of the Monticello Zoning Ordinance. Applicant:
Seifert, Joe /Miller Architects & Builders. Planning Case Number: 2016 -005
Steve Grittman outlined considerations involved in the request for a Conditional
Use Permit (CUP) and Variance from sideyard setback to accommodate adding 21
rooms to the Best Western hotel located at 89 Chelsea Road.
Grittman pointed out that current zoning regulations require a CUP for commercial
lodging use in the B -3 (Highway Business) District and for building height
exceeding two - stories. He explained that the proposed expansion would encroach
into the side yard setback from the public right -of -way (ROW) by a few feet at two
corners of the building on the eastern side of the property. He suggested that a
variance is reasonable due to unique site conditions in which there is a pathway
rather than a street within the ROW and the encroachment is minimal.

hearing was closed.
