Mount Kisco ZBA approves variances for Reliable Auto & Truck expansion
Summary
The Mount Kisco Zoning Board of Appeals on July 16, 2024 voted 5-0 to grant variances allowing a 1,900 sq. ft. addition to Reliable Auto & Truck at 21 Cary Place, including relief for development coverage, side and rear yard setbacks, and driveway length; the board issued a SEQRA negative declaration for the unlisted action.
Chairman Wayne Spector and the Mount Kisco Zoning Board of Appeals voted unanimously on July 16, 2024 to grant variances that will allow R. Scott Fisher, owner of Reliable Auto & Truck, to build a 1,900-square-foot addition at 21 Cary Place.
The board heard a presentation from Rich Williams of Insite Engineer and from Fisher, who told members the automotive repair facility has been operating at the location since 1991 and that he purchased the property in 2023. The application (ZBA#24-10, SBL 80.56-2-1) requested variances for development coverage, rear and side yard setbacks, and driveway length associated with the proposed expansion.
No members of the public offered written or verbal comment on the application. The board closed the public hearing by a 5-0 vote, then considered SEQRA and found the project to be an unlisted action; Member Jacqueline Broth moved for a negative declaration of environmental significance, and the motion carried 5-0.
Broth subsequently moved to grant the requested variances as presented; that motion was seconded by Member George Hoyt and carried 5-0. The board’s recorded votes were unanimous on the hearing closure, SEQRA negative declaration, and the variance approvals.
The ZBA record for the session shows the board resolved the application during the July 16 meeting; the transcript does not state additional permit or permit-review steps beyond the variances granted.
