Summary
An amendment to the Transit Road site seeking 42 additional parking stalls and a gazebo was referred to the DEC and the traffic-safety committee after the board discussed DOT curb recommendations, vegetative screening and ADA stall implications.
Cheektowaga planning staff presented an amendment for 6386 Transit on Nov. 26 seeking 42 additional parking stalls and a gazebo adjacent to a dog park. The Erie County Department of Environment and Planning and DOT raised comments including vehicle screening along Transit Road and a recommendation for full-height curb at the property edge to protect the right-of-way.
Planning staff and board members debated drive-lane widths, ADA-stall thresholds and whether vegetative screening would mitigate headlights. Applicant representatives said they would comply with whatever the DEC and DOT require. Speaker 2 recommended referral of the amendment to the traffic-safety committee for ADA/stall guidance and to the DEC for wetland-buffer review; the board voted to table the amendment pending those reviews and to reappear in December with comments.
