Lysander ZBA grants Pig Pen Catering use variance for pavilion and expansions; pole barn removed
Summary
The Town of Lysander Zoning Board of Appeals unanimously granted a use variance to Joshua Reynolds for expansions at Pig Pen Catering, approving a 338 sq. ft. already-built expansion, a 900 sq. ft. pavilion and a 1,663 sq. ft. east-side expansion per a site plan, after the applicant agreed to remove a proposed 1,250 sq. ft. pole barn from the application; vote 5–0.
The Town of Lysander Zoning Board of Appeals on May 4 granted a use variance to Joshua Reynolds to allow several expansions at Pig Pen Catering, 2935 Lamson Road, following board review of size, use and neighborhood character.
Reynolds presented an already-constructed 338 sq. ft. expansion and proposed a 900 sq. ft. pavilion and a 1,663 sq. ft. expansion along the east side of the building for additional bathroom and mechanical space; he had also proposed a 1,250 sq. ft. pole barn but agreed to remove that element after board members expressed concerns about its size, lack of detailed plans and compatibility with the primarily residential district.
The board adopted findings that the proposed action would not be undesirable, would preserve neighborhood character and would not adversely affect physical or environmental conditions. The variance was granted in accordance with Town of Lysander ordinances and a site plan dated April 22, 2026 prepared by Group 1 Design (Sheila Weed, Architect) and Vanscape Design. The motion to approve (by Jarvis, second by Costanzo) passed 5–0.
Board members requested additional details for any future accessory structures and noted that the pole barn, as originally proposed, was withdrawn from the application. Reynolds acknowledged the board's direction and thanked the members for their consideration.
The board recorded that the application as amended is approved; no further conditions or special permit requirements were recorded beyond the limitations reflected in the adopted site plan and the removal of the pole barn from the request.
