Board approves variance after applicant says builder constructed larger garage and porch than planned
Summary
The zoning board approved a variance for an accessory structure at 199 Erie Station Road after the applicant said a contractor built a larger garage and porch than specified and that the builder has been unresponsive about corrections.
Isabel Wiley asked the board to grant a variance after her contractor built a barn/garage and porch larger than the plans she believed had been approved. Wiley described a months-long timeline of drawings, a December build, attempts to have the builder (identified in the transcript variously as Centelli/Santelli Lumber) correct the work, and delays in communication.
A neighbor, Tim Longby, testified in support, saying Wiley’s structure does not infringe on his property and that he had referred the same builder to Wiley. The board adopted findings that the structure’s deviations were not substantial (two feet in one finding), that the error resulted from contractor plans, and approved the variance.
