Kellyville to purchase $175K property, library receives $3K in ARPA funds

Faitha Jones appeared before the Kellyville Town Board at its monthly meeting on Tuesday, requesting a lot split between her beauty shop and a rental building next to it at 128 1/2 East Buffalo. Jones said she wanted the split to leave five feet of clearance on either side of her property to make it easier for her to sell the rental property.

Town Trustee Russ Howard expressed his concern over the five foot variance, stating there’s an “ordinance saying…you can only be within so many feet of another structure.” He added that the beauty shop, being so close to the rental property, is already not in compliance, but was somehow pushed through and approved anyway—at no fault of Jones’s. Howard said the Board would have to review the variances to come to a conclusion, adding that it is trying to do things right by everyone.
