Welcome to the Town of Nassau, NY!

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Zoning Board of Appeals of the Town of Nassau will hold a public hearing on an application for an area variance submitted by John and Jessica Hauenstein for their property located at 801 Jefferson Hill Road in the Town of Nassau, NY (Tax Map #223-1-66.33). The applicant proposes to construct an addition to their house in an area that is zoned Rural Residential. An area variance is required because the proposed project allows only a side yard setback of approximately 38 feet and does not comply with the 50-foot side yard setback under the Town of Nassau Zoning Law: Section 3.2 and Schedule C. The public hearing on this application will be held on Thursday, February 2, 2012 at 7:30 pm at the Nassau Town Hall at 29 Church Street, Nassau, NY at which time and place all those wishing to comment on this application will have an opportunity to be heard.  Written comments will also be accepted at that time and place.  A copy of the application is available for review at the Town Hall.
