Votes at a glance: Cheektowaga ZBA, Nov. 19 meeting
Summary
The ZBA approved several variances — including 430/432 **** Road lot split, driveway expansions at 49 Kemp and 29 Verne Lane, an 80‑foot flagpole at 777 Arrow Drive, and a conditional driveway approval at 73 Angela Lane — and tabled several items for December.
The Cheektowaga Zoning Board of Appeals took the following formal actions at its Nov. 19 meeting:
- Approved an amendment to the Oct. minutes clarifying gutter drainage for 312 Ellen Drive (motion and roll call recorded).
- Approved the variances requested for 430 and 432 **** Road to permit a lot split and associated setback/landscaping relief; recorded votes were Miss Wertzak No, Mister Kenny Young Aye, Miss Ault Aye (motion carried).
- Tabled 274 Booth Road because the published notice did not match the applicant’s request (applicant had asked only for side/rear fence relief; notice listed a front-yard request).
- Tabled the use-variance request for 3695 Broadway (AC Power / Ingersoll Rand) after residents raised safety and Superfund-site concerns; board asked the applicant to return with additional documentation.
- Granted a driveway-expansion variance at 49 Kemp Avenue to allow a 4-foot enlargement needed for household access.
- Tabled the 676 South Booth driveway application pending a more precise survey of a narrow grass strip adjacent to the driveway.
- Approved an 80-foot flagpole variance for 777 Arrow Drive.
- Tabled 2581 Genesee Street to correct the published variance description; the applicant must return Dec. 17 with a corrected notice.
- Approved variances to allow existing outfield fences and 20-foot netting at Southline Little League (Lawson Park), despite resident objections about noise and proximity to houses.
- Approved variances for 29 Verne Lane retroactively and for 73 Angela Lane (conditional on a highway-department curb-cut approval letter) to accommodate medical access needs.
Votes and minutes: The building department will send written decisions to applicants within 7–14 days. Several items are set to return at the Dec. 17 meeting if republished or if applicants supply requested documentation.
Summary of next steps: Applicants with tabled items should republish notices if required and provide requested surveys or technical information. The building department will coordinate conditions (e.g., highway approvals) and circulate written decisions.
