Zoning board grants variance for driveway extension at 61 Isabelle Road with bollards to protect gas meters
Summary
The Zoning Board approved a 10‑foot driveway extension in front of the primary dwelling at 61 Isabelle Road, requiring concrete bollards to protect existing gas meters.
The Cheektowaga Zoning Board of Appeals on June 18 approved a 10‑foot extension of the driveway at 61 Isabelle Road, with a condition that concrete bollards be installed to protect gas meters located at the site.
Teresa L. George, the property owner, told the board the home is a duplex and that winter parking and vehicle exchanges for tenants pose safety and enforcement issues; the downstairs tenant has received street‑parking tickets. The applicant originally sought a 12‑ to 13‑foot extension but agreed to a board‑approved 10‑foot extension after discussion on site constraints and safety.
Board member Ralph Miranda moved the measure; Kenny Young seconded. The board’s members voted unanimously to grant the variance with the bollard condition. Chairman Justin Young reminded the applicant that a variance stays with the property, not the current owner or tenants.
The board recorded the motion as a 10‑foot extension of driveway area adjacent to the principal dwelling and required protective measures around gas equipment. The variance is effective immediately; the applicant may proceed after receiving formal written approval from the town.
