BEST BUY AUTO SUPPLY

Located at 771 Ridge Road. Applicant Allan Mallette is

requesting a USE VARIANCE to allow the construction of a 2,856SF motor vehicle service

station addition, associated with an existing used car sales business on a 1.73-acre parcel having

SBL# 079.17-1-21.11 located in the MC Medium Intensity Commercial District under Sections

350-18 and 350-70 of the Code of the Town of Webster.

Appearing before the board was Allan Mallette. So, I put together this packet and I hope it’s

everything you were asking for. Do you have any questions on what is in this packet, and I am

more than happy to answer to the best of my ability. Would you guys like me to go through it or

do you want to ask me questions on anything on it.

Corrine Volo

I guess I do have a question. I needed a spreadsheet, so I took all of the numbers

that you put together in the document. So, according to the information that you provided, if

you're outsourcing the service I’m going to call it pre-sale and post-sale warranty. So, pre-sale

service, when you outsource il, it’s approximately $1666 per vehicle and if you were to insource

it, it's about $1091 per vehicle and then your warranty would be approximately $900 vs $600 for

vehicles based on the information that you provided with your labor rates vs outsourced labor

rates and then looking at your sales per year from your 2023-2024 sales from April | to March

31" were 321 vehicles and then that same period 2024-2025 was 360 vehicles.

Allan Mallette

Correct,

Corrine Volo

So, as 1 am running through my spreadsheet, it would appear that your outsourcing

service costs are between 6 and 700,000 dollars a year.

Allan Mallette

Yes, ] mean, mathematically, all accounts are accountable, yes.

Corrine Volo

And then in sourced it would be between 410 and roughly 460 thousand dollars.

So, wither way, it’s about a $200,000 dollar savings per year for the applicant to be able to do the

service in house as opposed to having to farm it to other people. And that doesn’t take into account

potential delays or delays in either your current customers getting their vehicles back or new

customer. You being able to get a new car into the fleet in order to sell it as well and that doesn’t

take into account if you get price increases because right now, you're getting volume discounts.

Uniqueness

Explain what is unique about the proposed request in relationship to the particular property. Justify

how the stated hardship is not experienced by a substantial number of property owners in the

zoning district and surrounding neighborhood.

This property itself is unique that it is currently zoned for “Auto Sales” but not “Auto Repair” when

neighboring properties are. The property is currently relatively flat and wouldn’t require any major

digging or fill to have an accessory building built.

3) Cae

“Ss

Character of the Neighborhood:

How is the requested variance consistent with the character of surrounding properties? How would

the requested variance change the character of the neighborhood?

The intent is to build the structure so it blends in and matches with the existing building on the

property, just like the other businesses in the immediate area.

Self-Created Difficulty

How is the need for the requested variance not self-created?

Loss of business due to slower turn around times, having to utilize other businesses to perform work, when

they have their own customer base to prioritize.

Additional Hardships

e Delays in Scheduling Sold Vehicles for Service

Causes significant delays in completing sales.

Coordination with extemal vendors increases administrative workload. and turnover.

Miscommunication or delays can negatively impact customer service. » Inconsistent Service Standards

Variability in repair quality and timelines when relying on third-party shops

Pre-existing Dealership Standards

Historically, the dealership maintained an average of $1.400 per vehicle in sales

and repair cost before opening the new location.

Current outsourcing and operational challenges hinder matntatning or exceeding

that benchmark.

We have been lucky cnough to receive a special pricing system, due to the

volume of repairs we outsource these service departments. These special

discounts are subject to rise or change to the *full price at any time

Allan Mallette

Correct, yes. Right now, the service garage that we currently do business with

give us discounted labor rates because of the volume of business that we do provide them.

Corrine Volo

Okay. It just seemed like a lot so when I threw all of your numbers into a

spreadsheet, I was like oh my gosh, it doesn’t look like a lot per vehicle if it’s, you know, $1,600

or $1,100, but over the course of many vehicles.

Allan Mallette

It adds up fast.

John DeMarco

So, in rough figures, right, I lost the screen that was in front of me, [ think it’s

$600 a vehicle times $360 vehicles. Is that right. Which is about 216,000

Allan Mallette

Pre-sale approximately the savings for before the cars sold, pre-sale is $575

approximately the savings per vehicle.

John DeMarco

So, if we just round it to 600 times 350 vehicles, that’s somewhere around a

couple hundred thousand dollars. $210,000 that you put back in your pocket. Okay, so and you

know, again, when you read what's required of a use variance, we asked, I think to give greater

context for the board last time that we have an idea of the business savings, but the analysis really

runs to the property more so than the business, but I still think it’s a good thing for the board to

work through for the....to get the context of why this is a hardship. So, that $200,000 dollars give

or take, juxtaposed against the cost to build, pay the mortgage right, was that I the previous chart.

Corrine Volo

The building cost was in our application...

John DeMarco

Ok, what does that take up.

Anthony Moscaret

It says $100,000 and be built in six months. It says in the application.

John DeMarco

Okay. And so, obviously that doesn’t....we don’t know what the increase in the

taxes is. I’m assuming there is some utility costs, but it sounds like obviously over a 10-year

period, you’re going to...at that $10,000 dollars will be washed in the $200,000 savings so it

certainly sounds like it’s a net positive for the building.

Corrine Volo

And then how so we, and maybe it’s.,..we did public hearing the last time. Do we

want to re-open it or ....does anyone else from the board have any questions at this point and

ime.

Board

NO

Corrine Volo

All right. Is there anyone here who would fike to speak for or against this

application. All right, seeing no one, I will return the discussion to the board.

Pg. 122 July 8, 2025 Zoning Meeting

John DeMarco

Tdon't recafl what the proof was in thee record from the first meeting regarding

the inability to use the property for any of the permitted uses. Was that covered.

Corrine Volo

I don’t know that we covered it because the property is already an auto sales

business.

Anthony Moscarat

He just wants to add the garage to do this extra part for

Corrine Volo

He’s not looking to change the business or sell the property. So, that standards kind

of ....how do | interpret it for an existing business.

Anthony Moscarat

He just wants to build the garage to do repair work I the back of his sales

department.

Chris Centola

It’s essentially an addition.

John DeMarco

No, | understand that, but you are changing the use of the lot. That’s the whole

point of the use variance. Let me say this, there’s going to be a difference between what makes

logical sense and what the law requires, which is not unusual. And so, the use variance requires

that analysis that there are other permitted uses will not allow a reasonable return on the property.

I didn’t took at what the other uses are there.

John Accorso

How could there be any other uses if he’s already got a used car lot.

Anthony Moscarat

He’s already got the sales department. He just wants to cut his expenses

down by offsetting his repairs and going from there because across the street you've got a Ford

dealership, a Chevy that already have it. He just wants to do this for himself to make more money.

John DeMarco

That is the logic part of it. 1 get that. That’s not lost on me. To answer your

question, what you would do is you’d have to move your business to a location where you can

have a mechanics garage.

John Accorso

To me that doesn’t make sense.

John DeMarco

Again, that is why I preface my comments by saying logic versus what the law

requires. The board can do whatever it wants alright. My job is just to advise you what the legal

requirements are,

Corrine Volo

So, let me ask the other...

John DeMarco

I’m not saying to deny the application. I’m just saying if the record is complete,

it Should at least review what the other allowable uses are for the lot. What are those. Can the

staff tell us what those are.

Pg. 123 July 8, 2025 Zoning Mecting

Enika Corsi

There is a number of allowable uses for this zoning district which T will pull up for

you to review. (ERIKA PULLED UP THE CODE 350-18 MC MEDIUM INTENSITY

COMMERCIAL DISTRICT) SEE ATTACHED.

John DeMarco

So, what section is that.

Erika Corsi

This is section 350-18

John DeMarco

And there are numbers one through, what’s the last number.

Erika Corsi

26

John DeMarco

So, the standard is not, 1 own the property. This is what I want to do, and I don’t

have to unincluded because I don’t want to sell the property. That is not the standard.

Corrine Volo

Well, and I understand that if I am the property owner and I’m trying to sell the

property, and I can’t get anybody within any of those uses to purchase it....that’s typically when

we see this. When it’s a use variance because I can’t find a buyer within the purview that’s

permitted. But in this instance, it previously was an automotives sales and service department. |

believe Neri was the last one that was in there.

John DeMarco

Was this a service location.

Erika Corsi

There was no previous variances for service, just sales.

John DeMarco

You were indicating it was a sales and service and if that’s accurate that’s just

helpful.

Corrine Volo

it was like if you didn’t buy your car there, you’ re certainly not going to take your

car there, but they did work on cars they were selling was what I was led to believe in trying to

buy things from them.

John DeMarco

Yeah, that fact is a fact and it’s in the record so be it. 1 just wasn’t aware of that.

Corrine Volo

And I don’t know how long it sat empty before the current owners owned it so that

would have probably been the time to come for service, but at the time you guys came for vehicle

sales not realizing what an impact it would have on your business not to do the service in house.

Can the board or how does the board consider, that if | leave this driveway and turn left that 1

have two automotive sales and service locations that are on the same side of the road.

John DeMarco

I think that goes to the criteria that...

Corrine Volo

Changing the character.

nas fa IR DAMIAN IRA

John DeMarco

Correct. And it certainly docs that. No question about that.

Corrine Volo

So, if [ run through the standards, the first one is the application cannot....either

will or will not be deprived of all economic use or benefit from the property. Now, it’s not that

he’ll be deprived of all economic use, but based on the information provided to us, it would be

approximately a cost ... All right, is a reasonable return if I'm losing $200,000 a year by having

to send out for service.

John DeMarco

See, the reasonable return is typically measured by the allowable uses on the

property. Which the board is skipping over that part of it, or the applicant is skipping over that

part of it. What I am hearing the board say is, hey, look, this is different because he’s already

operating a business there. No question about that. But there wants, there needs to be, or the

applicant wants an additional component of the business which is allowed. So, you need a use

variance and Lypically the use variance. ..the reasonable return is characterized by allowable uses

akin to when you sell a piece of property. If you can’t sell it, and get a reasonable return, that ‘s

usually driven by the fact that the allowable uses for that property, no one’s interested in buying

it because they can not operate it at a reasonable return. The sale price is too cheap, too cheap for

the seller to sell.

Anthony Moscarat

I have a question, I’m going to chang your scenario. Let’s say hypothetically,

let's say everything gets approved and he built it. Now, he wants to move his business to another

town OR it closes up, whatever the reason might be. So, now he has to go sell it. First of all, if

he doesn’t find a business or a buyer doesn’t want to use like the sales room, they may just tear

everything down and then build what they need. How does that now come into effect. Because

what if it’s like....So what you’re saying is it’s got to be usable for this or it’s got lo meet the

criteria, which I understand, but like let’s say, you know, [ don’t need a showroom. I don’t need

this. So, I'll buy it, tear everything down, and build something brand new that fits the code. How

does that fall into place.

John DeMarco

I don’t think I understand the question. If he sells the property and someone else

wants {0 build..........

Anthony Moscarat

Wants to buy it but doesn’t want to put an auto dealership or anything with

sales or automotive, and they said, I just want a piece of property. I’m going to rip everything

down, build my own building. How’s it change.

John DeMarco; It doesn’t. There's nothing...

Corrine Volo

Then there would be no use variance needed.

Anthony Moscarat

Bul you're saying if he goes to sell, it’s a hard time for him to sell. That’s

what I’m saying. You know, you know, you're trying to find someone that meets that criteria,

like, you know, right now it’s set up technically for some automotive sales and service.

Pg. 125 July 8, 2025 Zoning Meeting

John DeMarco

The applicant can sell the property anytime he wants, and the person that buys it

doesn't have to have a projection of what they're going to build. Now, most commercial buyers

will say, Hey, I want to buy your property. It's going to be contingent upon the town’s approval

to put X YZ on the property.

Corrine Volo

So, but would...could I take the first standard and look at it in one of two ways.

Either I’m the owner of the property trying to sell it and | can’t for a reasonable price based on

there’s no...none of the current uses are of interest or can I look at it as the operator of the existing

business who if I can’t add another portion to that business, another function to the business I’m

not realizing a reasonable return with what | have so I have to...

John DeMarco; [ don’t think that is the standard. However,......

Corrine Volo

How do we know.

John DeMarco

How do we know what.

John DeMarco

I know what the law is in the state of New York. Listen, let me turn this inside

out. The board ultimately can vote whatever way it pleases and if no one challenges it going

forward, it becomes a fix. It’s law. It’s enforceable. When | say turn it inside out is that this board

when it creates a precedence, right, and another applicant comes in and says, hey look, I’m...don’t

worry about whether the other approved uses can function here or not. I want to add a barber

shop to my grocery store cuz my kids are barbers, and I want everybody on the same plat. Got

all these people coming in the store, they can get their haircut. It’s just a great setup. You’ re gonna

have to treat...if that applicant indicates, hey, look, over on 771 Ridge Road you let this applicant

expand their business to a use that’s not allowed there, and you did not make the applicant

demonstrate how the current uses that are approved how he can’t get a reasonable return on his

property. That’s what I mean turning it inside out. It makes logical sense what the applicant wants

to do. You know, we’re all sitting around having a up of coffee. It makes perfect sense. It’s a

great idea, I get it. But the board just has to be wary of the fact that going forward you're

stretching or diluting or limiting the standard in my legal opinion by taking on that determination.

] think the applicant has provided exactly what we asked him to provide from last week.

Corrine Volo

Alright, how so we as a board...if. And I guess I don't know what the other board

members feel is the appropriate based on their background and experience. But how would we

tidily bundle it with respect to a use variance if that is indeed what the board elects to do for this

applicant. How do we do it correctly and legally so that if it were to be challenged, the man next

to m that has to defend it would be able to do so appropriately,

John Accorso

Any benefit (o the fact that there are so many | mean, he’s not alone. | realize the

other users there were pre-existing before the ordinance got changed and I'm not sure the

ordinance should have been changed personally at least to exclude because you have within

walking distance five care dealerships that all have service and I think the biggest difference here

Pg. 126 July 8, 2025 Zoning Mecting

in challenging the using the barbershop scenario is there aren’t any other barber shops in that

neighborhood. But look over here there are several car dealers that have repair shops. In my mind,

it’ fits in the area .

Chris Centola

I] guess my concern, since you brought it up, it not....and I agree with the

barbershop scenario. I think it was a good illustration, but essentially there’s the same use going

on al around it. And I think I’m not trying to speak for the board, but it’s kind of hard to tell him

no when within a mile away everyone’s doing the same exact thing. But since it is specific to

this application, how much are we opening up the town and someone in your position to someone

that wants to put up a drive-in theater in a residential district. Because the could say, well, you let

someone in along Ridge Road do something that wasn’t already allowed, so why can’t I do it on

my property. And I’m going way off board with the illustrations, but at some point, and time,

and I know, there's a difference between common sense and what’s legal. So, I guess my concern

was well, at least not until you brought it up and made it a clear point. Are we jamming up the

town if we took at this and say, Yeah, I don’t see any issue with it. From a common sense point,

I honestly don’t know whether or not someone else is going to come by 10 years from now and

say, Hey let this guy do this so I can do anything I want in my yard. And you have to let me do

it because you gave this guy.

Corrine Volo

Except that we do consider each application to stand on its own merit

bev eee sees BOTH BOARD MEMBERS SPEAKING AT THE SAME TIME.

Chris Centola

I know that we're opening ourselves up because...because like I said, I think this

Corrine Volo

But if we button it up, we button it up tightly and make sure it’s....

Chris Centola

I’m on your side. I’m just thinking that.......

Corrine Volo

But yeah, anybody can interpret anything.

Chris Centola

That’s what I’m saying but [ wasn’t concerned about the legal aspects of it until

he pointed out. And I don’t want to do that. I mean, this is but I also believe that the property,

the existing use with the proposed addition, I don’t think first and foremost it’s going to be a

detriment to the neighborhood or the environment . The only question I would have is, and |

know it’s supposed to be a gray area, what's a hardship. You know, I can’t make a million bucks

a year on my property, it isn’t necessarily a hardship. And J know he didn’t say that, but 1 don’t

know where the line is drawn at a hardship. So, but I was, in my opinion, that wasn’t as important

as look on the other side of him and across the street. That's no different even though there’s that

zoning line. That was my guiding until our esteemed attorney brought up the legal aspect of it.

Corrine Volo

And if I look at standards 2 through 4, the alleged hardship relating to the property

in question is unique and docs not apply to a substantial portion of the district or the

Pg. 127 July 8, 2025 Zoning Meeting

neighborhood. 1 would say in that case, yes, because everybody around him is going exactly what

he would like to do. The requested use variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character

of the neighborhood, since everybody else is already doing it, which I know if everybody is doing

it, it doesn’t mean you're still supposed to jump off the bridge. And the alleged hardship has no

been self-created in that...I don’t know, if I were not on the board, I would not necessarily know

based on all of the other businesses around that I could do sales at that location without fixing the

cars that I’m selling. And then let me ask, I’m going to ask another question, and I know I’m

talking too much. If I go back to all or one or two through four makes sense. So just number one

is the one that has thrown us into the weeds.

We had another application in the past before this board that was an existing use on a piece of

property for the gentleman that does the snowblower snow plowing through out town. And

wanted to add another use to his property because based on interest rates went up and cost of

equipment went up and the economy and COVID an everything and he couldn't make ends meet

and his business could no longer be viable unless he was able to rent out two bays of that building.

How is this different.

John DeMarco

That is the whole point. It may not be different and that would be the type of

historical fact and approval that the applicant which you just did for him could point to as a reason

of why you should approve it.

Corrine Volo

Well, and that’s...[’m just trying to like...what did we have. I mean, we had a lot

of numbers from that gentleman thata basically showed his business would not be like without

being able to pay some.

John DeMarco

Was that a special use permit or was it a use variance.

Corrine Vol

I thought it was a use variance, but maybe it was a special use permit. And then that

was my other question, but Erika helped me realize that it's not possible is could we do a special

permit that’s only for this applicant at this location, but do you sell it...

John DeMarco

It’s not a permitted use though...

Corrine Volo

Right

John DeMarco

Is it Mr. Mallet. Mr. Mallette, how long have you owned the property for.

Allan Mallette

Technically, right now sir, we don’t own the property. We are in under a lease

with the property through Nor Web leasing. The contingencies of us purchasing this property is

going to be based upon whether we're going to build a service department to continue doing

business in Webster.

John DeMarco

Were we aware of that fact?

Pg. 128 July 8, 2025 Zoning Mecting

Bourd

NO

Allan Mallette

Its in the paperwork. (APPLICANT DID SUBMIT. IT WAS IN THE

ORIGINAL PAPERWORK BUT THEY FAILED TO PUT COPIES IN ALL THE PACKETS

WHEN THEY MADE THEM). It’s I the initial agreement that Best Buy Auto Sales. | got the

signed agreement from Nor Web Leasing allowing us to follow through with this process

knowing we are not the titled owners to the property.

Corrine Volo

Alright, but I guess I didn’t realize is that your plan was to purchase the property

if this lease became...

Anthony Moscaret

So, it’s like a lease to buy type deal.

Allan Mallette

Correct. We have a set amount in a contract that we can purchase the property

for. You know what I mean. That amount set based upon what the property is now.

Anthony Moscaret

Oh yeah, it’s on the application.

Allan Mallette

The property owner is actually Nor Web Leasing.

John Accorso

How long have they owned it. Do you know.

Allan Mallette

To my understanding, they have owned it 20-30 years.

John Accorso

Was it a car dealership before.

Allan Mallette

A car dealership to my understanding for....... 1 believe someone mentioned Joe

Nerry was there for a while. Probably 10-15 years ago. Maybe longer.

John Accorso

And how long have you been there.

Altan Mallette

We have been there two years. The sales had been the two years we've been in

that property.

Anthony Moscaret

Let me ask you a question. So, basically, you said lease to buy if you can get

this (o go through, right. If you can’t, it sounded like for a minute that you would have to move

the business out of Webster.

Allan Mallettc

We would have to definitely take that into consideration. We have the option in

the lease agreement with it. We have the amount to buy the property as it sits now is ironed out.

We do have an extension in place so that it would give us time if we had to go that route. | mean,

hopefully we don’t have to. You know, we like the area. We've been, you know, we wanted to

make sure the area was going to work for us as well.

Pg. 129 July 8, 2025 Zoning Meeting

Corrine Volo

Itmakes sense that it would be permitted based on what else is currently in use in

the neighborhood.

Anthony Moscaret

And it sounds like both those parties are in agreement with each other too.

Corrine Volo

And we can show what the applicants cost, they’re on average $210.000 dollars a

year out of pocket more by not being able to do their own internal service.

John Accorso

I think that also speaks it’s not necessarily strictly profit. It’s also competitiveness

with other used car dealers. You know, what your overhead cost determines what you're going

to sell the cars for. I'd like to move the question if we can. I think we’re going to go around

circles personally.

Chris Centola

My only concern is making sure that it’s only this property and that our position

is bulletproof as we can make it. Which doesn’t men it’s absolutely bulletproof, but if someone

says you did this here, we could show every single reasons why we said yes.

John DeMarco

I think that the distinguishing factor here, if the board was inclined to approve it,

is the proximity of the other service the other mechanics locations, you know, immediately

adjacent to this one. ] mean, that’s a significant factor.

Corrine Volo

I mean, all of the auto sales in Webster that I’m aware of are between Hatch Road

and Shoecraft.

Anthony Moscaret

No, both the Five Mile Line has used car dealership too on the corner of Five

Mile Line and Ridge.

BOTH PARTIES SPEAKING AT THE SAME TIME.

Corrine Volo

But then if I go further east of Hard Road. ...but that stretch on Ridge Road, that’s

it. Well, there’s one guy on Five Mile Line Road just north of Ridge who’s adjacent to the

frontage properties that also is a used car tot that’s within. But that’s the only are within town

that permits vehicle sales and atl those vehicle sales with the exception of the tow that are around

Five Mile do their own service. And I guess I don’t know what happens at properly on Five Mile

Ridge. I'm not sure if they do service or not. I’ve never...I’ ve only ever driven past it.

Anthony Moscaret

But there's not even enough land for them to even build anything because

the legion parking lots behind them. So, they're landlocked.

Chris Centola

Well, 1 think we've kind of beat if as much as we can. Do we want to move

forward,

Pg. 130 July 8, 2025 Zoning Meeting

Corrine Volo

What is my SEQR. We tabled the whole thing because we were talking in circles

but with less information before. So, I think now we at least have the right information.

FINDINGS OF FACTS

(CORRINE VOLO)

I think we covered most of them. As far as unique circumstances, the alleged hardship relating to

the property is unique and does not apply to a substantial portion of the district because everyone

else in the district that’s doing this use is already...that is already doing auto sales has the ability

to do auto service.

The essential character of the neighborhood will not be altered if this use variance is granted

because again, two doors to the left, two doors to the right within that section on the south side of

Ridge Road, there are several other businesses already doing exactly what this applicant would

like to do, and they’ ve been there for years.

I'll say it’s not self-created again because the code is limiting this applicant to not be able to do

what I don’t know if they’re your competitors, but your competitors and other similar businesses

are doing right along the same stretch.

The other remedy is that the applicant can continue to outsource, but if the continue to outsource,

then they’re going to be an additional $210 or more thousand dollars out of pocket annually to not

do this.

But then the reasonable return, can we apply that to the reasonable return of the existing business

without the additional function or does it have to be upon the sale of the property. And I guess |

don’t now the right answer to that.

John DeMarco

I didn’t hear the last part of that.

Corrine Volo

| don’t know how to......if | look at reasonable return two-pronged either because

Pm trying to sell it and I can’t or Pm trying to make a go of it with an allowable use and within

Pg. 131 July 8, 2025 Zoning Meeting

that allowable use unless I don’t have a little bit more of a use. J can’t make a reasonable return

Which kind of how I read that.

John Accorso

Isn’t it a question being competitive to as part of the reasonable return. You have

to....you can’t sell a car for....Well 'm just throwing numbers out there $1,000 dollars that

somebody else can afford to sell for

800. Corrine Volo: Well, and I guess let me ask the applicant that question. Does that then impact your

pricing. And 1] know every car sale there’s some negotiation, but if currently right now you’ re

paying an extra $1600 dollars....All right. What was the delta between them. So about $600

dollars more to service it than say your competitor next door was able to fix his own vehicles. Arc

you eating that $600 dollars or do you have to add that to the price of the car in order to continue

to break even which then impacts your sales.

Allan Mallette

Yes, in order to stay competitive with out pricing, we got to be able to afford to

make the vehicle to New York standards service-wise and with increasing parts and everything

else, it would be hard to continue. These figures are just going to get worse as time goes. In order

for us to price our cars competitively to sell them, you know what I mean. It’s a, if we are having

(o pul more and more into the cars, we obvisioyly have to sell them for more and more money to

try not to lose money.

Corrine Volo

So, in theory because of this your fixed cost is $600 dollars higher per vehicle than

the next door dealership for the same car.

Allan Mallette

We have to take that in accountability when pricing our vehicles. Same thing with

like the call back like it was further into the thing. We have to take that stuff kind of into

accountability as well, you know. We don’t have a crystal ball to say whether something may or

may not go wrong within the grace period of what New York State requires dealers to stand behind

their vehicles for, right. That also takes initial cost into effect that we have to account for.

Corrine Volo

And its a risk that your taking on because ['m assuming all of your vehicles are

used vehicles. They're pre-owned, they’re not new from the factory

Allan Mallette

They’re all pre-owned.

Corrine Volo

So, it’s not like the Chevy dealer across the street, if T bring a warranty issue in,

eventually Chevy pays that dealer. This....

Allan Mallette

IUs cost out of our pocket,

Corrine Volo

Which adds another potential level of loss.

Pg. 132 July 8, 2025 Zoning Mecting

Allan Mallette

{ mean, transporting the vehicles. Were less drivers on the road. You guys ever

try to turn left out on Ridge Road on a Friday night at 5:30. 300 vehicles sold in a year they got

to get transported somewhere up and down, turning in and out of there. Ridge Road, 104, like |

said, we're serving. We have to drive all the way out to Wayne County to find affordable labor

rates that allows us to even stay in business.

Corrine Volo

Does....1 guess I'll ask the question, does anyone believe that we have enough

information with which to make...to grant a variance or make a motion and then would someone

like to be the one to make that motion, please.

RESOLUTION 25-0049 John Accorso made a motion for USE

VARIANCE

Located at 77! Ridge Road.

Applicant Allan Mallette is requesting a

USE VARIANCE to allow the construction

of a 2,856SF motor vehicle service station

addition, associated with an existing used

car sales business on a 1.73-acre parcel

having SBL# 079.17-1-21.11 located in the

MC Medium Intensity Commercial District

under Sections 350-18 and 350-70 of the

Code of the Town of Webster. Which was

seconded by: Chris Centola.

Mr. Short ABSENT

Mr. Moscaret AYE

Mrs. Volo AYE

Mr. Spampinato AYE

Mr. Prescott ABSENT

Mr. Centola AYE

Mr. Accorso AYE

Corrine Volo

| guess I would like to include within the comments of the motion that the motion

is granted based on the financial information that was submitted by this applicant. Erika, would |

condition this? One year significant construction typically applies to an area variance . Would

that also apply in this case or one year to begin.

Erika Corsi

You can add that in to your approvals and your motion but that’s up to the board. A

use Variance runs with the land. So, once it’s granted.

Corrine Voto

Okay, but if the applicant were not to fulfil the use within some period of time,

does it expire.

Erika Corsi

Correct, yes.

Pg. 133 July 8, 2025 Zoning Meeting

Corrine Volo

So, I guess T would condition it that if within one year from this es ening’s

approval, if the applicant has not begun this secondary use at this facility, then the variance

expire, and we can come back and talk about it all over again. And I wouldn't think it would take

a year to get the permits and whatnot, and a building built.

John DeMarco

That’s not part of the motion so...

Corrine Volo

Ok, does the board agree to that condition.

Board

YES (atl board members agreed)

Erika Corsi

Tam sorry, what are we waiting on.

John DeMarco

(HARD TO HEAR, NOT CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE MIC) How are you

defining and getting that started by construction of the building.

Corrine Volo

I would say the use itself has to begin within one year of this meeting.

John DeMarco

(HARD TO HEAR, NOT CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE MIC) So if they’re out in

the parking lot and they got a hood open and they’re changing oil, does that count.

Corrine Volo

No.

John DeMarco

(HARD TO HEAR, NOT CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE MIC) So what you want

to do is be specific. You've approved a 2,800 square foot building.

Corrine Volo

We have approved a 2,800 square foot building and within one year of this

meeting, you need to be within that building, not just in a tent in the back parking fot or working

in the side parking lot.

Allan Mallette

The structure of the building has to be assembled. Is that what you are looking

for.

Corrine Volo

Yes. Which I think is doable in 12 months. And you will probably want to get that

done as soon as possible to start saving something. Alright, and the board is in agreement with

that then. Because that will need Planning Board approval?

Board members having conversation,

Corrine Volo

Ok, just get your permits from the town quickly.

Allan Mallette

So, I’m...clear understanding from here forward, I just need to get the building

permits then.

Pg. 134 July 8, 2025 Zoning Meeting

Corrine Volo

You need to get your building permits and according to Ms. Corsi, you do not

need to go to Planning Board for approval. But you can go to the town and start your permits,

Erika Corsi

Yes, you can do that through the Building Department . They will work with you

for all your building permits.

CONDITIONS:

¢ The applicant must obtain all necessary governmental permits, including a Town

Building Permit.

e Within (1) year, the applicant must have erected the new service building, and the

service use shall have begun within the approved building, or this use variance shall

expire July 8, 2026

COMMERICAL VEHICLE PARKING

APPLICATION WITHDRAWN

Located at 741 Hailey Drive. Applicant Brigitte Fitzgerald is requesting an AREA VARIANCE

to allow parking of a 20° commercial food truck on a crushed stone pad in the back yard, which

is not permitted, on a 0.66-acre parcel having SBL# 078.08-1-76 located in an R-3 Single-Family

Residential District under Section 350-12 and 350-44 of the Code of the Town of Webster.

VIP MOTOR SPORT

APPLICATION TABLED TO AUGUST 12, 2025

Located at 1186 Ridge Rd. Applicant Enzo F. Aquino is requesting a USE VARIANCE to allow

motor vehicle sales associated with an existing motor vehicle servicing business on a 1.35-acre

parcel having SBL# 080.09-3-7 located in the MC Medium Intensity Commercial District under

Section 350-18 and 350-70 of the Code of the Town of Webster,

(ERIKA CORSI READ INTO THE RECORD) SEE ATTACHED

PRIVACY FENCE

Located at 457 Thrushwood Lane. Applicant James Samuelson is

requesting an AREA VARIANCE to allow a 6-foot privacy fence in the front yard of a corner

lot on a 0.45-acre parcel having SBL# 063.14-3-16 located in the R-3 Single-Family Residential

District under Section 350-12 of the Code of the Town of Webster.

Appearing before the board was REPRESENTATIVE (NEVER STATED HIS NAME OR

ADDRESS) So, hopefully this is an easy layout for you. It’s a corner lot and they’re just looking

to extend the fence out to the...[ think there’s a map and everything in there in all your documents.

Out to the right of way and there are actually two other similar Jots within eye distance of the

said parcel. They're 438 Murwood and 446 Murwood almost very similar. Again, corner lots

with very small backyards. There’s a swimming pool in the backyard currently, which was there

when the property was purchased. I’m guessing this is probably...1 don’t know, but I assume this

is probably a pretty standard request with corner lots like this with such small backyards. Creates

more lawn area for young kids to play separate from the pool area and that sort of thing.

Chris Centola

Are you going to keep the existing fence around the pool and just add the new one

along the right of way in the back of the house.

REPRESENTATIVE

I believe the old fence is going to come down so we’re going to add new

fence.

Anthony Moscarat

Okay, any side openings where the new fence is going to be.

REPRESENTATIVE

There will be a gate probably be. .....the fence is going to slide forward a

little bit on the end of the house and then a gate would be there by the side door.

Anthony Moscarat

And then what type of fence. I know it’s stockade right now.

REPRESENTATIVE

Another wood type fence.

John Accorso

| understand with the corner lots I've lived in a corner house many times. It

just...as I drove down the street and looking at the fence, it looks like your going to build a wall

there with a 6 foot fence and that’s...... and J understand why you want it, but I’m just wondering

if you could set it back a couple feet more and put some plantings in to kind of break up the view

of the wooden fence so that it’s not a solid wall that it looks more inviting in a residential area I

guess. If you would consider that.

REPRESENTATIVE

I think....I mean it sounds like a good idea I mean, it wasn’t requested of

others in the neighborhood. It sounds like there’s been a precedence on it. | mean they don’t scem

to have plantings at the other places.

John Accorso

| apologize for that, but I wasn’t on the board.

Corrine Volo

Well, I guess my question for Erika, because | don’t know. I know we do have

other corner lots in the neighborhood that have fences in both front yards or in the side front yard.

Were they all the way up to the right of way. The ones that I] can remember have been set back

five or 10 feet from the right of way, but 1 don’t know if everybody that’s been approved in that

neighborhood.

Erika Corsi

There have been examples of both right to the property line and setback five or so

feet. Again, in this neighborhood I would have to look in our records exactly to see what was

approved so I can’t speak to this neighborhood specifically but in the past, yes, there has been

ones right up to the property line and ones that have been set back five or so feet.

APPLICANT/REPRESENTATIVE: This is James, I was speaking for him. I’m going to let him

answer a few questions. They asked about moving the fence forward a little bit and put some

plantings.

Corrine Volo

Sir, can [have you state your name for the record.

Pg. 136 July 8, 2025 Zoning Mecting

(THE PREPRESENTATIVE NEVER STATED HIS NAME}

James Samuelson

Corrine Volo

Do you understand what he board is saying to...instead of it going all the way to

the right of way, bring it in five or 10 feet just so there’s a little bit of more space.

James Samuelson

I think I have it proposed at 10 feet off the right of way already.

Corrine Volo

Oh, it’s 10 feet off the right of way. It’s not all the way up to the right of way.

James Samuelson

That is correct. That's actually a utility easement that it is drawn on the right

of way which is......

Corrine Volo

So, you're already.......... my apologies.

James Samuelson

That’s ok.

Corrine Volo

So is it going up to.............

James Samuelson

It is going right up to the utility easement. Which is 10 feet in. (BOTH

PARTIES SPEAKING AT THE SAME TIME)

Corrine Volo

There is some type of tree of an evergreen that was along that area. Is it going to

be roughly in line with that.

James Samuelson

So, it’s actually....it won't even be to that last evergreen tree. There’s a fire

hydrant that sits kind of underneath the edge of that evergreen tree. Is that what you’re referring

to at the corner. That’s actually a pear tree.

Corrine Volo

No, the neighbors evergreens in the back.

James Samuelson

Yes, that is a blue spruce.

Corrine Volo

So, it’s not going to be as far out as those.

James Samuelson

No, itll actually not even probably come to the last tree. It] be inside the fast

tree. I believe that the yellow line that appears on the screen is the right of way, I’m going to be

10 foot inside of that.

Board members speaking.

Chris Centola; No, he is coming up right to the utility easement and quite frankly, | think...I

know shrubs do not have an extensive root system, but I'm opposed to planting anything major

Pg. i37 July 8, 2025 Zoning Meeting

over any type of ublity. Because quite frankly, even if we pul in beautiful shrubs, they come up

and whatever utilities underneath there gets dug up, they’re under no obligation to replace

anything because it’s their easement. So, | would be very hesitant to put a condition on him that

may cost him more money and don’t and won’t guarantee the result that your looking for.

John Accorso

That is why I asked if he could set it back a couple feet more and do more plantings.

James Samuelson; It would be acceptable to me. If it was three, four feet tops, I could still

shoehorn in some plants.

Anthony Moscaret

For example, if green light comes in, they’re going to directional drill under

that, and they’Il run what everything underground.

James Samuelson

That easement is RG&E specifically.

Anthony Moscaret

I’m just using Greenlight as an example.

James Samuelson

I think they’ ve already been through the neighborhood.

Corrine Volo

So, what I think I’m hearing is that you’re willing to bring the fence 4 feet inside

of the utility easement so that there’s room to put just a little something to break up the wall of

the fence.

James Samuelson

If that’s a requirement, yes. It’s definitely not what they did across the street.

Corrine Volo

(Reviewing the map of the neighborhood to see how the neighbors fence is set up).

James Samuelson

{t's actually Murwood. So, if you head south, it’s

446. That is a prime

example of what I am trying to do. They’re about 10 foot inside the right of way as well. Probably

ran into a similar situation where...1 don’t know if there’s a utility easement over there or not.

Erika Corsi

So, just to clarify, you are looking to do essentially exactly what 446 has, you’ re not

going right up to the property line, you're going to be 10 feet WITHIN your property line which

is also away from the utility easement,

James Samuelson

Correct.

Erika Corsi

Okay, thank you for that clarification.

James Samuelson

One slight difference, you said exactly like that. Not quite exact. I] don’t intend

(o come to the front of the garage.

Erika Corst

Correct. In terms of placement to the property fine.

Pg. 138 July 8, 2025 Zoning Mecting

James Samuelson

Yes

Corrine Volo

It is certainly not going to be a line of sight issue. Alright, let me open it up for

public hearing. This meeting is a public hearing and anyone wishing to speak for or against this

application, please come forward. Seeing no one, I will return the discussion to the board and

close the public hearing.

Chris Centola

My own personal opinion, as much as | appreciate landscaping, if you have them

set it off a couple fee off it...it gives the option of doing it instead of making it a requirement.

Because having a corner lot myself, you want at least some sort of low strip or gravel bed just to

make it easier to mow. Then if you’re going to tell him he needs to plant it and we don’t force a

planting plan upon him, he could put one shrub and say, I met your requirements, And that is

what I am trying to avoid is that he met our requirement. I added....I put an arborvitae in there

and he’s met our requirement. If we tell him to set it back a couple feet, so if he want to at a later

date, do it himself, he has the ability to do so. Unless we tell him, he needs to plant, you know,

junipers five, 24 inch diameter, installed 5 feet on center for the entire 60 feet. [ wouldn’t want

to design it for him.

Corrine Volo

A wooden fence to me is much more, or much less in your face than a white vinyl

fence in that it just kind of blends in better. I mean, the finished side of the fence is going to be

on the outside anyway.

James Samuelson

And to clarify, this is not a white vinyl fence. This is a pine fence.

Corrine Volo

I don’t know how the rest of the board feels. I don’t want to force plantings that

may or may not. Your wife is going to have an idea of what she wants along the outside of that

fence.

Chris Centola

I think your suggestion is great, but unless we have a planting plan that we can

enforce, it’s kind of toothless... .technically, ground cover is a plant. So, he could just put ground

cover on the back and say he did it and he'd legally be correct.

John Accorso

My only concern is it is a long stretch of fence and all you're going to look at is a

wood wall. And I just thought somehow it could be broken up.

Chris Centola

I don’t disagree, but I question whether we're the proper authority to enforce visual

there.

Corrine Volo

Well, my only concern is that we haven't forced other applicants to do it. But we

can cerlainly suggest it.

John Accorso

| don't think the one on Murwood is that long. That's ok if you haven't done if

before.

FINDINGS OF FACTS

(CHRIS CENTOLA)

If approved the application, it would not have an undesirable effect on the existing character of

the neighborhood. It wouldn't be a detriment to his or any other properties. There is no other

remedy to get some privacy in your back yard than fencing it in because it especially since it’s a

corner lot. So, there is no other realistic remedy. The request is not significant, in fact it’s 10

feet, a minimum of 10 feet in more than it needs to or that it could be and that it will not have

any adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions of the neighborhood. And it

really isn’t self-created because it’s a corner lot and it’s difficult to get in a usable private area on

a corner lot.

Corrine Volo

Alright, 1 am going to add in because it’s a corner lot, as two front yards, but if it

were a traditional side yard setback, the 6 foot fence could be permitted right on the lot line. So,

in this case, it will be better than that because it’s going to be in by the 10 foot easement and then

another four feet.

James Samuelson

| accept that, yes. With the option to landscape.

Corrine Volo

Yes. But make it attractive, A wooden fence and it is going to be wooden fence is

what you are agrecing to.

RESOLUTION 25-0053 Chris Centola made a motion for AREA

VARIANCE Located at 457 Thrushwood Lane.

VARIANCE to allow a 6-foot privacy fence in the

front yard of a corner lot on a 0.45-acre parcel

having SBL# 063.14-3-16 located in the R-3

3-SEASONS ROOM: Located at 918 Lothario Circle. Applicant Joseph Swick is requesting an

AREA VAIRANCE to allow a rear setback of 40.5° where 50” is required associated with the

construction of a 329.8 SF 3-seasons room on a 0.42-acre parcel having SBL# 079.13-4-26

located in the R-3 Single-Family Residential District under Section 350-12 of the Code of the

Town of Webster.

Appearing before the board was Joseph Swick. Eleven years ago, I built a [7 x 24 deck which I

think at thal time it was a 50 foot setback that was acceptable for the deck . I kind of want to take

up the same amount of area. It’s actually a smaller...... so, instead of a 17 by 24, I want to reduce

ittoa 17 by 19 ina few inches. But with enclosing it, ] found out later on that I have an additional

10 feet that I have of a setback that I wasn’t aware of before. Which would not be really functional

for this kind of a setting or for a building because that would reduce me down froma {7 ft room

to a 7f{t deep room. So, I’m coming in front of the board asking for a variance for an additional

10 ft so that I can have an actual reasonable living space three season room of a size of 17 by 19

and a few inches. The reason the deck is gone is because me and my neighbor both put up decks

at the same time I1 years ago and they both rotted out even though they had air flow and

everything and I wasn’ about to reinvest into another deck and gave the same thing happen again

so, we decided to step it up a little bit to go for a three season room,

Corrine Volo

And it gives you a little bit more use through out the years as opposed to just the

three months of nice weather that we have.

Joseph Swick

And my daughter is !4 and she’s only going to be in the house another four years

and she’s been asking for this. So, I'd kind of like to give it to her .

Corrine Volo

I did notice when [ was driving through the area, the lots, especially in Lothario

Circle, are very short rear yards which I don’t know but I'm suspecting this was probably

developed as a cluster subdivision in order to make the houses closer together than have some

homeowners want to come put some type of a structure onto the back of the house. Most of the

houses along at least that side of the street are lined up within the 50 feet of the rear lot line. And

there’s also behind most of the houses; I'll call it a hedge row of sorts so that most of them are

really not within view from the neighbors on the street behind them which is John Leo Drive.

There are a couple of other three season rooms that have gone up in that subdivision with some

encroachment into the setback for the same reason because the 50 foot. The house is at the 50

FINDINGS OF FACTS

(CORRINE VOLO)

An undesirable change will not be produced in the character of the neighborhood and no detriment

to nearby properties. There are a couple of other similar additions within, I'll call it the larger

neighborhood of Lothario and John Leo Drive, and the rear yards are fairly short. The benefit really

cannot be achieved by any other method. As the applicant noted, by bringing this into compliance,

the depth of the room is only 7 feet, and it is replacing a deck that was actually deeper than this

addition will be at the end. The requested area variance is not substantial. The applicant’s deck

was further into the setback that this room is going to be so it will be an improvement to the setback

with respect to having a structure there. It will not have any adverse impacts on the environment

or the neighborhood or the district. The backyards do have some greenery in the backyards so it

will be shielded somewhat from the neighbor to the rear. 1 do also want to make note that we do

have signatures both from the surrounding homes on Lothario Circles and the homes behind this

addition on John Leo Drive that have signed that they are in agreement of this addition and most

variances are self-created but given the placement of the house on the lot, there's really not

anything that can be added to the rear of the structure without permission being granted from the

zoning Board.

GARAGE ADDITION

Located at 860 Buttermilk Circle. Applicant Michael Hussar is

requesting an AREA VARIANCE to allow a side setback of 12° where [5 is required, associated

with the construction of 30 SF second story bump out over the garage on a 0.43-acre parcel having

SBL# 094.06. 1,10 in the R-3 Single-Family Residential District under Section 350-12 of the Code

of the Town of Webster.

Appearing before the board was Michael Hussar. Just looking to have a bonus room essentially

added on top of the garage. The bump out will only be on the second story. I think it’s two and

half feet. So, that brings me to 13 feet within the property line when the ordinance is 15 feet. So,

that’s it. And it’s not running across the entire length of the home. It’s only like Miss Corsi said,

is only 30 square feet of actual bump out. Its 2% by 12 something or 15 fect something for

that matter, And that’s it. As far as the neighbor on that side, it’s our back yard and they have

trees planted on our property lines, so they’re not going to notice, 1 would imagine, either way

but that’s the scope of our project.

As Erika explained to me. Is not the whole footprint that’s going to be exceeding

the setback, but it’s going to be a portion of the upstairs, which 2 feet of the second floor is

allowed to hang over into the setback, but this will actually be 3 feet, but it won't be for the entire

addition as well.

Michael Hussar

Correct.

Corrine Volo

Did I explain that correctly.

Erika Corsi

Correct. Our code allows a canter lever to be 2 feet within the side setback. So, Mr.

Hussar is looking essentially for an additional foot. Just on the second. ERIKA SHOWING THE

PLANS ON THE SCREEN TO THE BOARD.

Corrine Volo

But based on where the lot line is, it’s not even the whole thing. So, it’s okay. All

right, | will open the discussion up to the public. Is there anyone here who would like to speak

for or against this application. Seeing no one, we will return the discussion back to the board.

FINDINGS OF FACTS

(CHRIS CENTOLA)

There will be no undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood, nor will the

application be a detriment to nearby properties if the variance were to be granted. There is no

other remedy based on the existing house layout and what they need to do. It seems to me that’s

the best option for expanding the area that they need to go into. And the fact that as it’s a bump

out, it really one exceeds the allowable canter lever by one foot. It’s not...because it’s only a 2

¥2 to 3 foot bump out, it’s not a significant request. And if we’re granted, that area variance

would not have an adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions on the

neighborhood or district. Basically, because it’s existing house it’s really a not an entirely self-

created situation. In fact, it seems to be a really good solution to obtain more room.

RESOLUTION 25-0057 Chris Centola made a motion to GRANT AN

AREA VARIANCE Located at 860 Buttermilk

Circle. Applicant Michael Hussar is requesting an

AREA VARIANCE to allow a side setback of 12°
