68 Indian Road widened driveway and stop-work order history
Port Chester
Summary
A homeowner paved a 19.4-foot double driveway where only 10 feet is allowed — after a stop-work order told him to restore it. The board granted the variance anyway but limited front parking to two cars, with two members objecting that the condition can't really be enforced.

Impact analysis
The homeowner avoids the cost of ripping up the driveway and reseeding, and a pending court matter may be resolved if the variance stands.
The Avelar family, including a mother with knee problems who parks in front, plus neighbors who spoke in support.
Critics note the condition limiting parking to two cars is likely unenforceable, and the applicant bypassed the permit process.
