Zoning board grants larger setback variance for Reliable Auto & Truck at 21 Cary Place
Summary
The Mount Kisco Zoning Board granted an amended setback variance for Reliable Auto & Truck at 21 Cary Place on Nov. 19, 2024, approving a 13-foot variance (for a 17-foot setback) — two feet larger than the variance originally granted. The motion passed unanimously, 5–0.
The Mount Kisco Zoning Board of Appeals voted unanimously Nov. 19 to grant an amended setback variance for R. Scott Fisher, LLC, the owner of Reliable Auto & Truck at 21 Cary Place.
Attorney Charles Martabano told the board the applicant is seeking to modify a previously issued variance because the proposed building setback is 17 feet, which requires a 13-foot variance rather than the 11-foot variance originally granted. Engineer Rich Williams said an error in the original variance calculation prompted the requested change. No verbal or written public comment was received.
Board member George Hoyt moved to close the public hearing; Alex Roithmayr seconded. After discussing the five statutory factors, Hoyt moved to grant the amended variance; Jacqueline Broth seconded. Chairman Wayne Spector called for the vote and the motion carried, 5–0.
The amended approval increases the allowed encroachment by two feet compared with the board’s earlier decision. The board did not record additional conditions or a timeline for construction during the meeting. The decision finalizes the board’s action on ZBA application 24‑10 for 21 Cary Place.
Present at the hearing were attorney Charles Martabano and engineer Rich Williams (Insite Engineering), representing the applicant. Board members voting in favor were Wayne Spector, George Hoyt, Jacqueline Broth, Alex Roithmayr and alternate Roger Nadel (participating via Zoom). Building Inspector Peter J. Miley and Interim Village Counsel Lisa Cobb were present as staff.
The board moved on to other business and adjourned later in the session.
