Great town meeting tonight our neighborhood turned out in bunches and I Think the council listened
I'm following along to learn how the town board handles items like this.
From what I read I believe the darkened area is where the units will go
Over head to see what is in the local area

Kubacki is the developer
They want to build 6 duplexes and wants variances for 20 foot drivewats with a 30 foot setback from 40 ft.

When Jerry sold his property to the church group wasn't Kubacki involved with that?

Did Jerry own that property also...What a POS he must be...selling property what a DICK..SAVE the TREES!
What are you talking about. Jerry did a good job with his property. Seriously he did a good job selling it.
Here is why I brought this up.
Is this true?
Kubacki is the developer who wants to build the duplexes. Yes or no. ?
Next... Variances are needed for the project. Yes or no?
Next... Did Jerry sell his property directly to Kubacki or did Kubacki negotiate the sale for the church which Jerry profited from? (Good job and I wouldn't expect any less from any person selling a piece of property.)
Here is the issue. Seeing it's Kubacki who wants to build the duplexes and needs the variances I think it would be a conflict of interest for Jerry to vote on the matter.
I'm AM NOT SAYING THIS HAPPENED.
I could see a developer helping a board member profit on a land sale to gain favor down the line on other projects.

For the record I think the project is fine. The other home owners might not want to lose the trees but then again it's not their property. I think I would rather have 6 duplexes near my home versus a small commercial strip, a delta sonic or gas station.

Check this out.
This is the site plan
To make it easier to understand what is going on I superimposed the site plan on a google map
I filled a color where each duplex is going to be. Doesn't really seem to be all that bad. They don't look that much bigger than the single family homes in that area. If you look around with google maps there seems to be duplexes already in that area. Keep as many trees as possible and it won't look much different than what seems to be across the street.
What is the main reason the surrounding home owners are against this?
And you all know how costly our property taxes are thanks to the group who has ran our town for the last 25+ years. 6 new duplex units have to worth at least 150 to 200k each. 200k X 6 units would be another 1,200,000 in taxable property. If each building generated $6000 dollars in tax revenue that would be another $36,000 gross per year. That could cover the benefits for one town employee.

Go to google and use street view. There are quite a few doubles already in that area. Those six duplexes will most definitely change the characteristics on Hitchcock Dr.
What would be better for the town but it won't happen would be if 6 old homes were replaced with 6 new homes on the same lots. The cost to the developer would be higher because of the demo cost but I think that would be better for the town in the long run. We are losing population. Do you really think the town needs to lose green space when other space can be reused?

Jerry sold it to a church through a realtor, the church then put a bid for construction, Kulbacks was the one THEY selected, not Jerry..
Fair enough. Seriously though he did a good job selling the property.

So what is your opinion on that project. I did hear that there are flooding issues in that area.

Well one fact was given.
The our town legal department will not allow doubles on Hitch because of deed restrictions. Those home owners should get that in writing. My opinion is this doesn't mean single family homes can't be built on Hitchcock. If flooding is the concern to the current home owners a 2000 square foot double is no different than a 2000 square foot single family home. I'm referring to flooding based on rain.
Without details about sewer capacity or water pressure capacity you really can't say if 6 families versus 12 families would make a dent on the current infrastructure.
6 single family homes with 3 kids each could be 12 adults with 18 kids would use more water compared to 6 doubles with 12 single elderly people who take a bath once a month.

A new statement..
The town legal department can't enforce deed restrictions. Just the parties that were involved in the deed. IE: The person who made the agreement and the home owners.

Wasn't it the town who put the deed restrictions on the property to begin with?
In fact, it's in the Cheektowaga town code -
§ 260-23R Residence District.
Regulations for the R Residence District shall be as follows:
A. Permitted uses.
(e) By special permit authorized by the Zoning Board of Appeals.[Amended 2-17-2016 by L.L. No. 1-2016]
Two-family dwellings in the following described area of the Town of Cheektowaga: Beginning at the intersection of Como Park Boulevard and Union Road; thence southerly along Union Road to Slate Bottom Creek; thence southeasterly along Slate Bottom Creek to Transit Road; thence northerly along Transit Road to Zurbrick Road; thence westerly along Zurbrick Road and the south boundary of the Village of Depew to the point where the Village of Depew boundary intersects Rowley Road; thence southwesterly along Rowley Road to Indian Road; thence southerly along Indian Road to Como Park Boulevard; thence westerly along Como Park Boulevard to Union Road at the place of beginning.
