New Business
1. ZBA File #46-07, Buffalo Spinal Institute, 4180 Abbott Road, Zoned B-2 (Part of Farm Lot 39, Township 9, Range 7; SBL#161.17-3-14). Requests an area variance to allow a freestanding sign with a 5-ft., 8-inch R.O.W. setback to remain. Minimum R.O.W. setback for this freestanding sign is 10-feet, Section 144-38B (1).
APPEARANCE: A representative was not present
The Chairman stated that the applicant’s representative was ill this evening. The case is re-scheduled to the December 18, 2007 meeting.
2. ZBA File #47-07, Mary Nolan & Just KIDdin’ Preschool, 3766 Abbott Road, Zoned B-2 (Part of Farm Lot 40, Township 9, Range 7; SBL#161.09-2-15). Requests a variance to allow a second freestanding sign on this parcel. One (1) Freestanding sign may be erected, Section 144-38B(1).
APPEARANCE: Ms. Mary Nolan, petitioner
Ms. Nolan presented and explained her request to the Board to be allowed to erect a second freestanding sign on the Church’s property where she is a tenant. She told the members that the proposed sign will be her main form of advertising and that it will, also, provide safety for the center by assisting emergency services and individuals in locating the preschool on the church’s property. She explained to the Board that the children attending the facility take pride in seeing the sign. Ms. Nolan told the Board that she looked into other alternatives, but found that the proposed sign is preferred over a portable sign. She further stated that she is willing to work with the Board and she submitted a petition signed by approximately 100-people supporting the variance request.
The Board members’ questions established that portable signs are prohibited, the proposed 4 ft. x 4 ft. sign will not be illuminated and that the previous day-care center located here had a sign advertising their business for approximately 30-years.
Ms. Nolan told the Board that she removed her sign when it was brought to her attention that two-freestanding signs were not permitted.
The Chairman established that the proposed second sign is in compliance with the code. An alternative available to the applicant would be to add the day-care center’s name to the existing church signage; however, this would increase the size of the church sign and make it non-conforming.
The Chairman then asked if there was anyone in the audience who would wish to speak in favor of granting the variance.
PROPONENT:
Mr. Jeff Parvz
5141 College Street
Hamburg, NY 14075
Mr. Paris stated that he supports the variance request, citing safety reasons. He told the Board that he feels the Town Code is outdated.
Ms. Druzbik
18 Boardman Road
Lackawanna, NY 14218
Ms. Druzbik stated that she supports the variance request and cited safety reasons, noting that there are several “Windom” schools and this could cause confusion for the emergency services that may be called to the day-care center.
Ms. Liz Post
5670 Lake Avenue
Orchard Park , NY 14127
Ms. Post stated that she supports the request for the sign to help identify the location of the day-care center.
Jim, residing at
19 Fence Street
Silver Creek , NY
Jim supports the variance request; he feels it is a good idea.
Jennifer, residing at
95 Palm Tree
Lackawanna, NY 14218
Jennifer stated that she feels the proposed sign is needed.
The Chairman then asked if there was anyone in the audience who would wish to speak against the granting of the variance.
NO RESPONSE
The Chairman then asked if the Secretary had received any additional communications either for or against granting the variance.
The Secretary stated that no communications have been received.
The Chairman stated that there is overwhelming community support for this request. He noted that safety is an issue and that a prior sign had been located here for over thirty-years. Chairman Lennartz also feels that emergency vehicles must be able to easily identify and locate the day-care center on the church property. He also noted that if the request is approved, he will stipulate that the proposed signage be in compliance with the code. The Chairman stated that he feels the Board will not be setting a precedent in allowing two-signs at this site; the situation is unique with children attending a day-care center on church property. He again, noted that the day-care must be easily identified as being located here.
Mr. Zajac made a motion, seconded by Mr. Liberti, that this is an Unlisted action and that a Negative Declaration under SEQR be made based on the submitted short EAF.

APPEARANCE: Kevin Horrigan, People, Inc.

4. ZBA File #49-07, Patrick Callahan, 7355 E. Quaker Road, Zoned R-1 (Part of Farm Lot 63, Township 9, Range 7; SBL#162.19-1-3.2). Requests an area variance to construct a 50-ft. x 40-ft. garage/storage building within the front yard. No accessory structure shall be located within the front yard, Section 144-24A(1)(b).
APPEARANCE: Dennis Woloszynsky, representing Mr. Callahan
Mr. Woloszynsky explained to the Board that Mr. Callahan would like to locate a garage within the front yard of his property. He told the Board that Mr. Callahan feels the proposed location is the most logical place to locate the garage, due to the topography of his property. The west side of the home has a severe slope. He also noted that the proposed garage will not be easily seen if it is located here.
Mr. Holmwood established that foundation work and a retaining wall were put in on the side of the home by Mr. Callahan. Mr. Woloszysnky told the members that Mr. Callahan will locate the garage on the west side of his property adjacent to the home
if the variance request is denied. He also told the Board that Mr. Callahan is widening his present driveway. Mr. Holmwood verified that the nearest property will be 80-feet away from the proposed garage. In addition, there is a ravine located here.
Mr. Liberti established that the proposed structure will be used as a garage and that the facade will match the existing home with the same type of roofing. In addition, all site work has been performed, other than constructing the structure and no additional trees will be removed. Mr. Woloszynsky told the Board that he does not feel that the garage will be seen by his neighbors, other than possibly in the fall, after the trees loose their leaves.
Mr. Zajac established that the loft area will be used for storage.
The Chairman confirmed with Mr. Woloszynsky that Mr. Callahan had not spoken with his neighbors with regards to this request.
The Chairman then asked if there was anyone in the audience who would wish to speak in favor of granting the variance.
(Twice)
NO RESPONSE
The Chairman then asked if there was anyone in the audience who would wish to speak against the granting of the variance.
OPPONENT:
Mr. Hain, Grandson of Cynthia Hain who resides at
7343 E. Quaker St.
Orchard Park, NY 14127
Mr. Hain noted that he has concerns with future tree removal; however, Mr. Woloszynsky assured Mr. Hain that there would be no additional removal of trees at the site.
Mr. John Hansen
21 Henning Drive
Orchard Park, NY 14127
Mr. Hansen stated that he can view the foundation at the present time from his property; he further noted that trees die and change and that “the garage will be there forever”. He expressed his feelings regarding the proposed garage and does not support the request.
Mr. Tom Janicki
7309 E. Quaker St.
Orchard Park, NY 14127
Mr. Janicki told the Board that the elevation of his property is higher than Mr. Callahan’s. He does not support the variance request, noting that he does not want to
see this structure from his property. He feels that there is adequate property behind Mr. Callahan’s home for the garage and that it should be placed there.
Mrs. Paula Janicki
7309 E. Quaker St.
Orchard Park, NY 14127
Mrs. Janicki told the Board that she does not support the variance request. She told the Board that she questions the use of the garage, noting that its use could change in the future. However, Building Inspector David Holland stated that any change from residential usage would be properly responded to by the Building Inspector’s Office as a violation of the code and be cited.
Mr. Alan Arena
135 Fox Meadow
Orchard Park, NY 14127
Mr. Arena expressed his concerns regarding noise levels that may occur at the site. He told the Board of past incidences of racing engines and other loud noise that occurred at this property. He told the members that a race track had been developed on the property with mulch. He asked for clarification of the Town Code regarding the location of the garage near residential properties, noting that he feels the size of the garage is extremely large. Building Inspector David Holland explained that the variance is for the position of the garage; he further noted that if Mr. Callahan were to locate the garage behind the existing home, he would not need a variance. Mr. Holland stated that the size of the structure complies with the code as it does not exceed the square footage of the residence.
Mr. Woloszynsky told the Board that Mr. Callahan purchased a motorcycle track and he does not believe the noise concerns that Mr. Arena discussed will be an issue.
Mrs. Monica Hansen
21 Henning Drive
Orchard Park, NY 14127
Mrs. Hansen told the Board that she does not want to view the proposed structure from her home. She established that the garage will be 1-1/2 stories high and she told the Board that she is very upset about Mr. Callahan’s proposed garage.
Don Kline
7301 E. Quaker St.
Orchard Park, NY 14127
Mr. Kline does not want to view this structure from his property; he feels it does not belong or “fit” in this residential area and that it is too large. He also described “noise” issues that may arise involving racing engines.
Chairman Lennartz stated that he wants it to be clear that Mr. Callahan is allowed under the Town Code to construct a 2,000 sq. ft. structure at the side or the rear of the residence without the need for a variance; he only needs to apply for a Building Permit. He also stated that if the garage is located in the front of the property it will be placed in a wooded area and be 500 ft. from the roadway.
The Chairman then asked if the Secretary had received any additional communications either for or against granting the variance.
The Secretary stated that no communications have been received.
Ms. Litwin established that Mr. Callahan is self-employed and operates a demolition business in the Town of West Seneca, New York.
Mr. Zajac established with Mr. Woloszynsky that placing the garage on the side would be difficult because of the amount of fill material that will be needed. However, Mr. Woloszynsky told the Board that Mr. Callahan has the resources to accomplish this; the result would be a 12–15 foot concrete wall to support the structure. He noted that Mr. Callahan feels the structure will be more obtrusive if located on the side; however, if he is denied the variance, Mr. Callahan will proceed to build the garage and place it on the side of the home.
Mr. Holmwood expressed that he is “torn” between both sides.
Mr. Liberti stated that he is concerned about the character of the neighborhood; if the garage is placed on the side, the area will not be appealing. In addition, trees will need to be removed and fill will be used to build up the area; this may affect the nearby creek area. Mr. Zajac stated that if the garage is placed on the side or behind the home more difficulties are created; it is the Board’s job to look for the least amount of impact to the community.
The Chairman agreed that there could be environmental concerns involved with the creek area if the garage is placed on the side of the property.
Ms. Litwin discussed her displeasure with the fact that Mr. Callahan was not present to answer the Board’s questions. She explained to Mr. Woloszynsky that if Mr. Callahan were present he could answer if he would be willing to reduce the size of the building, eliminate the loft area or plant screening to buffer the area. She concluded that Mr. Woloszynsky cannot make these decisions for Mr. Callahan and Mr. Woloszynsky agreed. She further told Mr. Woloszynsky that Mr. Callahan does not realize that his neighbors are against the variance and that his proposal is creating negative feelings. Ms. Litwin concluded that she feels the proposed garage will affect the character of the neighborhood.
Mr. Woloszynsky told the Board that Mr. Callahan put a great deal of thought into the proposed placement of the garage. He restated that Mr. Callahan felt that if he placed the garage at the front of the home it would be less obtrusive and fewer trees would need to be removed. He told the members that the Callahan’s have seven-licensed vehicles for their five-member family and that Mr. Callahan desires to store them in the proposed garage. Again, Ms. Litwin noted that if Mr. Callahan were present she would be able to discuss possible vehicle storage options with him.
The Chairman responded to a neighbor’s comment that the proposed garage size is “unrealistic” by restating that the Town Code allows this size structure to be erected without the need for a variance. He further commented that he feels that Mr. Callahan should be present to listen to his neighbor’s concerns and answer the Board’s questions. He then explained why he feels the request does not meet the requirements for approval.
The Chairman made a MOTION, seconded by Ms. Litwin, to TABLE this case until the December 18, 2007 meeting so that Mr. Callahan can be present.

5. ZBA File #50-07, Anthony & Michele Gerevics, 205 Lawrence Woods, Zoned R-2 (Sub Lot #142, Map Cover 2820; SBL#184.07-2-20). Requests an area variance to construct a pool cabana which will encroach on a required side yard. No accessory structure shall be located within the required side yard, Section 144-24A(1)(b).
APPEARANCE: Mr. Anthony Gerevics
Mr. Gerevics told the Board that he desires to erect a pool cabana/storage structure on his property. He told the Board that his property is a corner lot and that he would like to place the structure in an area where damaged trees had been removed. He explained that the proposed location is convenient for his family and that placement elsewhere would involve the removal of fencing and/or trees. Mr. Gerevics also told the Board that he spoke with his neighbors and no one objects to his request for the variance. He also told the Board that a nature trail is located at the rear of his property.
Mr. Zajac discussed locating the proposed cabana at the rear corner (left side) of the pool. Mr. Gerevics stated that locating the cabana there will make it far, and out of the way; at that point, it will become more of a storage shed. The size of the cabana will be 13 ft. x 24 ft. Mr. Zajac established with Building Inspector David Holland that the structure will not violate any other codes.
The Chairman noted that a small portion of the cabana will encroach on the side yard.
The Chairman then asked if there was anyone in the audience who would wish to speak in favor of granting the variance.

190 Lawrence Place

Requests a variance to relocate a monument sign to a location with a 5-ft. setback from the R.O.W. Minimum R.O.W. setback for this monument sign is 10-ft., Section 144-38B(1).
APPEARANCE: Mr. John Wabbick, Vice President
Mr. Wabbick explained that during a tree-trimming incident the utility company had decimated the trees located here. He told the members that he had met several times with the Town’s Conservation Board and that they approved the presented landscaping plan. It was not realized, at the time of the approval, that a variance would be needed for the relocation of the existing monument sign. The monument sign must be relocated to accommodate the new landscaping plan.
The Board discussed the request and concluded that there is no other location to place the sign.
The Chairman then asked if there was anyone in the audience who would wish to speak in favor of granting the variance.
(Twice)

APPEARANCE: Reverend Todd Glendenning
Reverend Glendenning presented and explained a request to replace a freestanding identification sign in this R-1 Zone. He told the Board that he would like to replace the sign that currently exists at the site, noting that the sign is needed as it is difficult for individuals to locate the church without the sign. Reverend Glendenning told the members that he spoke to his neighbors and no one objects to the variance request.
The Chairman re-verified that Reverend Glendenning spoke to his neighbors. Reverend Glendenning told the Board that one neighbor discussed lighting at the site with him; however, the sign will not be illuminated.
Mr. Zajac confirmed with Building Inspector David Holland that the sign, if allowed, is in compliance with the code. He also discussed a “welcome” sign that is present on the property. Reverend Glendenning told the Board that he had not been aware that another sign existed at the site.
