28921 : 306 Weston Avenue - Install Fence; "In Excess of Maximum Fence Height, Interior Side Yard". Zone N-4-30. Section 496-7.2.2.B.3.

Buffalo, NY December 17, 2025 - December 17, 2025

This agenda item concerns a request for an Area Variance for a fence installation at 306 Weston Avenue. The property owner, Wilson Delias, wishes to install a 6-foot tall vinyl fence around the rear of the property. The current zoning code (Section 496-7.2.2.B.4) for interior side yards limits fence height to 4 feet. The Department of Permit and Inspection Services previously issued a Notice of Denial on November 12, 2025, because the requested fence height exceeds the maximum allowed. The applicant argues the variance is not substantial, as other properties on the block have 6-foot fences, and states the variance is needed for safety and privacy for their children. The Zoning Board of Appeals will consider this request.
