Larry and Debbie Bueme, 83 Meadowdale, appeared on the request. Mrs. Bueme stated the deck was erected 11 years ago at which time the proper permits were not obtained. The house has been sold and they are currently tenants. A letter of no objection from the adjoining neighbor at 79 Meadowdale was submitted.
Mr. Bond asked the distance between the deck and the pool.
Mrs. Bueme stated it was up to the pool. The deck has a gate as shown on the photograph.
Mrs. Price asked if the current owner requested the variance be obtained so that it could pass with the house.
Mrs. Bueme stated the new owner is unaware of the situation. A notice was received from Mr. Czuprynski’s office that the proper permits had not been obtained.
No comments were received from the public.

Mrs. Price asked if this would be a one and a half car garage.
Mr. Greiner stated it would be closer to a car and a third, just large enough for easier access and storage of lawn equipment.

Mr. Bond noted that the house appears to be 4.8 ft from the property line and there appears to be approximately 6 ft between the buildings.
No comments were received from the public.
Motion by Mr. Dunn, seconded by Mr. Hughes, to close the public hearing and grant a variance for property located at 105 Fremont Avenue to erect garage addition 1.95 ft to side property line.
Ayes: All Noes: None Motion carried
2006-024 Request of Fischione Construction Co. for a variance for property located at 1 Rebecca Way to build 5 ft into front yard setback (40 ft required).
Richard Thompson, 2 Trails End, Lancaster, Director of Sales & Marketing for Fischione Homes, submitted an overview of the subdivision and sublot 25 which is the subject lot on the corner of Center and Rebecca. Two sales have potentially been lost due to the proposed custom homes which would have gone into the 40 ft setback. There is approximately 55.88 ft to work with and a 5 ft side yard required clearance, bringing the footage down to 50.08 ft.
Mr. Bond noted that the Rebecca Way front requires 30 ft and asked why the other side requires 40 ft.
Mr. Czuprynski responded that was due to the “A” zoning. A subdivision is usually 30 ft but the main “A” zoning in front requires 40 ft.
Mr. Thompson referred to page 3 of the main survey and stated he performed a field measurement and highlighted the northeast pin corner. From that point to the shoulder of the road where the gravel starts is approximately 25 ft which will be additional easement or green area.
No comments were received from the public.
Motion by Mr. Bond, seconded by Mr. Hughes, to close the public hearing and grant a variance for property located at 1 Rebecca Way to build 5 ft into front yard setback.
Ayes: All Noes: None Motion carried

2006-033 Request of David Klager for a variance for property located at 94 Canterbury Trail to erect deck 4 ft from existing pool (10 ft required).
David Klager, 94 Canterbury Trail, stated the deck is actually 7 ft from the in-ground pool. He submitted photos of the deck to be removed.
Mrs. Price asked if the deck to be removed will be replaced with a screen house.
Mr. Klager stated they have lived there a year. There is currently a sunroom with a 3 ft ornamental deck off the sunroom which is beginning to rot and it has steps that go down to the pool. There would be a railing all the way around the proposed deck which would be better than the stairs going down. This is a corner lot and a letter of no objection was submitted from the adjoining resident.
No comments were received from the public.
Motion by Mr. Bond, seconded by Mrs. Price, to close the public hearing, amend the application to request granting of a variance for property located at 94 Canterbury Trail to erect deck 7 ft from existing pool, and grant a variance for property located at 94 Canterbury Trail to erect deck 7 ft from existing pool.

Paddy Rowell, Flexlume Sign Co., stated the sign is for the new bank at 1055 Union Road.
Mr. Bond asked if this is a standard size sign for Northwest banks.
Mr. Rowell stated it was the standard size. There is currently one on Union Road in Cheektowaga, across from the High School.
Mr. Dunn asked what the next smaller size is, or if they were customized.

Mr. Rowell stated the signs are customized, but are restricted by the message area. The sign needs to be a certain width in order to accommodate the letters.
Mr. Hughes asked if the sign would be scrolling.
Mr. Rowell stated it was approved by the Town Board and the bank keeps the same message on all day.
Mr. Bond asked if there were plans for additional signs.
Mr. Rowell stated there would be no other additional signs, other than directional signs. The sign will be located perpendicular to Union Road on the south side of the edge of the property, 10 ft back from the property line. Mr. Rowell stated he had no letters from the neighbors, but did have a phone conversation with Tontine who spoke directly with the Bank. He also had a job site meeting this morning and spoke with Mr. Owczarczak who had no objection to the sign.
No comments were received from the public.
Motion by Mr. Bond, seconded by Mrs. Price, to close the public hearing and grant a variance for property located at 1055 Union Road to erect 68 sq ft pole sign.
Ayes: Three (3) Mr. Bond, Mrs. Price, Mr. Hughes
Noes: One (1) Mr. Dunn, stating he felt this sign was too large in size and would have like to have seen an alternate size presented.
On the question, Mr. Bond stated that every location is different and there have been occasions in the past when larger signs were allowed.
Motion carried
2006-036 Request of Roger Ludwig for a variance for property located at 39 Florence Avenue to install parking spot in required side yard and maintain stone drive.
Roger Ludwig, 39 Florence Avenue, stated he received notification from the Building Inspector on the lack of an appropriate permit. He presented
WEST SENECA TOWN OFFICES ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
1250 Union Road Minutes #2006-05
West Seneca, NY 14224 May 24, 2006
Page seven . . .
a sketch of the completed construction and letters of no objection from 13 neighbors. The request is for a 30 ft x 11.6 ft concrete pad on the side of the house for parking of a trailer, with a stone drive.
Mr. Bond asked if vehicles were also parked in the garage on the other side.
Mr. Ludwig responded that he parks vehicles there too, on the pad and stone driveway.
Mr. Dunn asked the hardship that applicant is unable to have a hard surfaced driveway.
Mr. Ludwig stated the original plan was to put stone and at some point in time when he didn’t have children home anymore with vehicles, that it would be replaced with grass.
Mr. Bond asked if the variance being requested was for the stone driveway or the concrete pad.
Mr. Ludwig responded it was for both because he is within 3 ft of the neighbor’s property. The concrete is about 8 inches away from the property line.
Mr. Bond noted the applicant is approximately 2 ft away from the adjoining building or carport.
Mr. Ludwig stated it’s a carport. The house is 12 ft away. His trailer is 18 ft wide.
Mr. McCabe asked the type of trailer.
Mr. Ludwig stated it was a snowmobile trailer.
Mr. McCabe stated that was not allowed. Parking of a trailer is not allowed.
Mr. Czuprynski stated the trailer would have to be parked in the garage with the car parked in the back.

Mr. Ludwig responded that would be no problem.
Mr. Bond stated that raises the question of why a 12.48 ft is required, as opposed to an 8 ft or 9 ft pad.
Mr. Ludwig stated the paid is actually 11.6 ft and then narrows down to 8 ft.
Mr. McCabe asked if the concrete pad was already in place.
Mr. Ludwig stated it was.
Mr. McCabe noted that if the request was to install a pad, the Board could make it shorter, but in this case the pad is already there.
Mr. Dunn asked if it was the intention of applicant to use this as temporary parking.
Mr. Ludwig stated the pad would stay permanent but the stone would be taken away eventually.
Hans Constable, 45 Florence Avenue, two doors away from the Ludwig residence, stated he was gone during March when the stone driveway was installed. There is no sewer to catch the water going to the street. He has a 4 inch receiver alongside his driveway to catch the water. He has water, mud, and tin cans in his driveway and did not feel a second driveway was necessary.
Mr. Ludwig stated he was aware of the stones and has made every effort to sweep them away. He would be willing to put some blacktop on the first 4 ft or so to eliminate the stone problem.
Mr. Constable stated the town did work on the sewer but the water still does not go down to the main sewer. It was his understanding that no permits were given for the concrete pad or the stone driveway. He stated that the mud and stone going into the street washes down into his driveway.
Mrs. Price stated that paving the driveway would eliminate that problem.

Motion by Mr. Dunn, seconded by Mr. Hughes, to close the public hearing and grant a variance for property located at 39 Florence Avenue to allow the concrete pad within the existing dimensions and deny the stone drive, directing that the applicant comply with ordinance to hardsurface the driveway.
Mr. McCabe noted that if the driveway is not paved, there is no variance and the pad would have to be removed.
Ayes: Four (4) Mr. Dunn, Mr. Hughes, Mrs. Price, Mrs. Rosenswie
Noes: One (1) Mr. Bond, noting his objection was based on a concrete pad within six inches of a property line, which he felt would result in a swampy condition with water runoff. Motion carried
2006-037 Request of Robert Tighe for a variance for property located at 329 Main Street to erect attached garage addition .65 ft from exterior side yard (30 ft required).
Mr. Bond asked the width of the proposed addition.
Robert Tighe, 153 Meadowbrook, Orchard Park, stated the width was 20.65 ft. He submitted the signatures of 5 neighboring residents and a letter from the property owners, stating no objection. The property is a life estate. The deed presented shows 4 owners reserving a life estate to his 86 year old mother. They wanted to keep the property in the family and he will be moving in with his daughter the end of June.
Mr. Dunn asked the hardship in not making the garage smaller in order to stay within the zoning ordinance.
Mr. Tighe stated his daughter is 18 and drives. There is a single driveway, necessitating the continual moving of cars. He does not want to have to park on the grass or the street.
Mr. Bond asked the normal width of a two-car garage, and noted the depth is approximately 22 ft.
Mr. Czuprynski responded the normal width on a house is approximately 20 ft. and the depth noted by Mr. Bond is just over the length of a car.

Mr. Tighe stated the back of the garage will be used to store a lawn mover, etc.
Mr. Bond noted that the property adjoins a street, not another piece of property, with about 10 ft.
Mr. Tighe stated there is 10 or 11 ft of town property and then the width of the street and another 10 ft on the other side, so there is probably 50 to 60 ft from the next house.
Mr. Bond stated he was concerned about the runoff onto the grass and assumed something would be done about the water off the garage roof.
Mr. Tighe stated he assumed the architect had planned for the water runoff.
No comments were received from the public.
Motion by Mr. Hughes, seconded by Mrs. Price, to close the public hearing and grant a variance for property located at 329 Main Street to erect attached garage addition .65 ft from exterior side yard.
Ayes: All Noes: None Motion carried
2006-038 Request of Kevin & Jody Greiner for a variance for property located at 826 East & West Road to erect proposed house 15.4 ft from exterior side lot setback (30 ft required).
Jody Greiner and Kevin Greiner appeared on the request for a variance. Mrs. Greiner stated they currently live in Holland and are in the process of closing on the East & West property which is a corner lot with a width of about 47 ft on which to build a single level home. They both have disabilities and need a ranch style home for easier accessibility. Letters from the adjoining neighbors on Bihrwood and East & West Road were submitted, indicating no objection.
Mr. Bond stated he was aware of applicants’ necessity for the request but noted the concern was for the sight line for vehicles turning from Bihrwood onto East & West, or vice-versa, although the concern was more for a fence rather than the request of applicants.

Anne & Mark Schukraft appeared on the request. Mrs. Schukraft stated they would like to erect a 6 ft fence in the backyard from the line of the house out to the curb. The property is a corner lot.
Mr. Bond noted the proposed fence would be in the exterior side yard. He cited the sight line as the concern of the Board but the proposed fence will be at the back of the house.
Mr. Dunn asked if the fence would begin at the back of the home and proceed to the back of the yard.
Mrs. Schukraft stated that was correct. The signatures of adjoining residents at 15 Rosewood Drive and 558 East & West Road were submitted, indicating no objection to the variance being requested.
No comments were received from the public.

Mr. Bond noted that the patio room will be in line with the house.
Mr. Christ noted this is not a patio, rather a covered open shelter for tables and chairs.

Mrs. Pacer also plans on putting in some landscaping in the form of hedges in front of the walkway.
