ZBA grants accessory-garage variance to Pitt Ohio at 6640 Transit Road
Summary
The ZBA granted Pitt Ohio an area variance allowing a 4,985-square-foot accessory maintenance garage at 6640 Transit Road (approximately 20.2% of the existing building area), exceeding the code limit of 5%.
The Cheektowaga Zoning Board of Appeals voted to grant an area variance permitting Terminal Properties/Pitt Ohio to construct a 4,985-square-foot accessory maintenance garage at 6640 Transit Road. Town code allows accessory structures up to 5 percent of the existing gross floor area; the petition asked to increase that to about 20.2 percent of a 26,724-square-foot existing building.
Jeff Palumbo, counsel for the applicant, said the garage is necessary to support vehicle maintenance for the transportation and supply-chain operator now occupying the site; he told the board the new garage would be sited on former parking area and would not remove green space. Board members asked questions about operations, height and nearby uses; the applicant said the new building would be about 26 feet tall and the site is in a nonresidential area with no nearby residences.
After review, the board voted to grant the area variance. Members recorded no public objections during the hearing.
