9 Field Place driveway area variance
Port Chester
Description
A homeowner got approval to keep her 18.75-foot driveway, which is 8.75 feet wider than the code allows but has existed since well before the 2020 zoning rules.
Impact summary
The driveway can remain, but the owner must still obtain a retroactive permit and possibly a right-of-way permit from the village engineer.

Zoning Board of Appeals - Feb 19, 2026
The homeowner sought an area variance to legalize her pre-existing 18-foot-8-inch driveway, which exceeds the 10-foot limit for a one-car garage; the board approved it, with the formal resolution to be adopted in March.
