Board approves fence-height variance for 2173 Lehigh Station Road
Summary
The Henrietta Zoning Board approved an area variance allowing an existing 6-foot fence around an in-ground pool at 2173 Lehigh Station Road, finding it an established condition predating the current owner.
The Zoning Board approved an area variance for 2173 Lehigh Station Road after the owner, Miwa Martano, told the board the six-foot fence and pool pre-dated her 2021 purchase and that she sought to keep the existing, long-standing enclosure.
Neighbor Sharon McGinnis spoke in support, saying she moved into a nearby home in 1975 and that the fence “has been there forever,” adding that the fence helps prevent pool noise from carrying into the neighborhood. After the board reviewed findings of fact — noting the fence is an existing condition, that relocation would be impractical and that it had not created adverse impacts — the chair confirmed the variance was approved.
