Webster Zoning Board Approves Garage Variance, Denies Carport Variance at 13 Cedar Point Road; Approves Special Permit for Garage Expansion at 84 Union Point Road

The Town of Webster Zoning Board of Appeals heard a request for variances for a property at 13 Cedar Point Road. The applicant sought relief for the placement of a garage and a carport. After deliberation, the board granted the variance for the garage, citing unique site conditions related to soil and topography, and financial and physical hardship that would result from a literal enforcement of setbacks. However, the variance for the carport was ultimately denied, with the board finding no unique site conditions and determining that granting it would not serve the public good or align with the purpose of zoning bylaws. The board also approved a special permit for the expansion of a non-conforming garage at 84 Union Point Road, adding conditions regarding curb cut width and maximum garage height.
