            The applicants came before the Charlton Zoning Board of Appeals with a petition for a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy on their property at 2284 Cook Road.  The housing unit is a Fifth Wheel Trailer.  Their residence on said property was destroyed by a serious fire and this extraordinary circumstance precipitated this request for Temporary Housing while the new home is being built.  The applicants supplied all the information needed by the Zoning Board of Appeals as required in Article IV, Section 3C of the Charlton Zoning Ordinance and the Board was satisfied with said information.  The information included a consenting petition from the owners of properties within 1,300 feet, concrete evidence of financial intent to construct a new home, a plot plan of the location of the trailer with the septic, electric and water located on the plot plan, a description of the trailer and all the names and addresses of neighboring properties needed to process the applicants request

The Charlton ZBA was established as the Lead Agency for SEQRA Review.  The Board determined that the action was a Type II.

The matter having come to be heard before a duly convened meeting of the Zoning Board of Appeals on the 13th day of June 2006 and the facts, matters and evidence produced by the applicant, the Zoning Administrator and all other interested or otherwise involved parties having been duly heard, received and considered, and all due deliberation having occurred, the request for a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy is granted to the applicants by the Charlton Zoning Board of Appeals subject to the conditions of Article IV, Section 3C.  This approval is granted until November 30, 2006.

.   If  the applicants need an extension beyond November 30^th, 2006  they need to supply a written application to the Charlton ZBA on or before the ninetieth day before the expiration of the temporary certificate of occupancy as stated in the Charlton Zoning Ordinance.  The Zoning Administrator will monitor the septic, water and electric needs.

Each of the five members present voted for the motion to grant the petitioned request for a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy

Respectfully Submitted
