Votes at a glance: Bronxville ZBA actions on generator and fence variances
Summary
At the meeting the ZBA approved a generator variance (5-0) and denied a fence variance (0-5). The board suggested the fence applicant may return with a landscape mitigation plan for reconsideration.
Key actions from the Bronxville Zoning Board of Appeals meeting:
- Generator variance (section 3-10-9(d)): Motion to legalize installed emergency generator approved unanimously (5-0). Board members cited lot geometry, screening and limited neighborhood impact. No public comment was recorded on the generator item.
- Fence variance (section 3-10-9.10): Motion to permit a solid front-yard fence (and an 18-inch topper in one corner) was denied (0-5). Board members cited precedent concerns, owner responsibility for permit compliance despite contractor claims, and the fence’s visual impact. The board encouraged the applicant to consider an outside planting plan and indicated the topper could be considered separately if the applicant provides more documentation.
These outcomes close the two agenda items heard that evening. The board recorded that the fence at issue was installed in September 2019 and that the applicant may return with a revised landscape mitigation plan.
