Grand Island zoning board approves variances for 2997 Bridal Road, corrects variance at 3338 Greenway Road; approves minutes

The Zoning and Board of Appeals of the Town of Grand Island approved side-yard and area variances for 2997 Bridal Road and corrected an earlier variance amount for 3338 Greenway Road at its May 1 meeting. The board also approved minutes of its April 3 meeting.

At 2997 Bridal Road, applicant Greg Fusco requested relief from the side-yard setback and an area variance for an attached garage. The board recorded that the required side-yard setback is 15 feet and that the proposed side-yard was 3 feet; the board recorded the need for a variance for the property. The board also recorded an area variance for an attached garage totaling 180 square feet. John Bridal moved and Michael Todaro seconded motions to grant the variances; the board approved both motions on voice votes. Town staff noted the property will need to obtain building permits for the work.

The board also addressed an error in a previously granted variance for 3338 Greenway Road. The zoning inspector omitted an existing shed in the earlier calculation, and staff presented corrected figures. The corrected combined proposed area should total 1,172 square feet (a 28-by-35-foot detached garage plus an existing 192-square-foot shed), producing a corrected area variance of 372 square feet. The board voted to suspend the rules to address the error and then approved the corrected variance on a motion by John Bridal, seconded by Betty Harris.

The board approved the minutes of the April 3, 2025 meeting by motion and voice vote and then adjourned the May 1 session.
