Attorney Kelly Bennett presented the application and said the lot is a nonconforming 40-foot lot and that the addition squares off the front of the house. The board discussed the site's condition and the applicant agreed to cut back two feet of pavers in the side yard; the board deleted the associated variance from the application during the hearing.

A board member moved to approve the application with conditions that the shed be rebuilt in a conforming location if removed or replaced and that the patio be reduced by two feet with lot coverage recalculated. The motion passed on a voice vote. The board asked for a revised certified plot plan and amended plans to be filed; the hearing record will remain open for the revised plans until the board finalizes its decision.

Documents on the record include a planning division memo (07/01/2025), an environmental control memo (07/08/2025) and a survey by Barrett Banucci dated 03/20/2025.

Counsel told the board the revised design raises the sign 1 foot, 6 inches and that the applicant had reached an agreement with the adjacent property owner, who provided a letter of no objection.

Attorney Bridal Weber and traffic-safety consultant Russ Scott of Nelson & Pope explained that the applicant had prepared a stopping-site-distance analysis to size the sign and letters so motorists could safely see and respond to the directory. Scott told the board that the sign is necessary because a directory visible from Wellwood Avenue is not visible from Sunrise Highway and that the added directory improves safety and visibility for motorists accessing the center.

Counsel said the revision eliminated one of the variances the board had previously approved and that the adjacent neighbor's letter removed a prior objection. A board member moved to approve the revised directory sign for a period of three years; the motion passed on voice vote. The board's record includes correspondence from Nelson & Pope and the planning division memos and surveys in the file.

The board reserved the right to rely on the submitted traffic-safety analysis in evaluating sight-distance and letter sizing. The decision reduces the risk of immediate litigation by reflecting the neighbor agreement, according to counsel for the applicant.","LG Lindenhurst Associates returned with a revised directory sign for Lindenhurst Plaza that raised the sign 1.5 feet after negotiating with an adjacent property owner; the board approved the revised sign for three years after reviewing a traffic-safety letter.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6174958,"ZBA approves off-premises directory sign for Curtis Wright at Broadhollow Road for three years",313,3148000,3461000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5363056-5a9f84f5d5924f5550e199a66f472832&start=3148&end=3461","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5363056-5a9f84f5d5924f5550e199a66f472832/thumbnail_3148000.jpg","/articles/6174958/Town-of-Babylon/Suffolk-County/New-York/ZBA-approves-off-premises-directory-sign-for-Curtis-Wright-at-Broadhollow-Road-for-three-years","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6174958-8af65fb4602ac5f6341ba89a9905c199/orig.mp4?Expires=1770415275&Signature=oHTqICmg9UzLMEkWJt2KMnBECWlzKygXLy8ozfrUei8DJlj-sAMECPrK1Z0hWFvZOlMGnyCpy7mtaV0kQ6OvWesZhES0Tt6pUVDdr2pPVg0ft5RnvG98kLgy-oOQcxSNUFWCiTqqVw7i1Bh01wP6BapwZtZ5p~OPbRlBy2VjpvnvFs8pSnWyoxhZMZb6Iw-wjYYano9A84G~bnnAWy6oQSgr98u2tZDGQTAFvFxJyo56wbD~YPpUNsutpACPVnRo4jgKBhOCnHIuADSRZO61SaFO6Pal6CpeOnLsOcPr~KpsSgIlY8qB51tAQ9781DdQO2OxiljRL2LkE80oU0WR5w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Babylon Zoning Board of Appeals on July 10 granted a three-year approval for an off-premises directory sign proposed by Curtis Wright for property adjacent to 66 Broadhollow Road, the location currently occupied by Restaurant Depot.

Attorney J.R. De Ciccio, representing Curtis Wright, told the board the company needs the sign to provide a safe, visible entrance and to direct deliveries, contractors and visitors to the facility. He described Curtis Wright as a defense contractor and supplier of engineered valves and said the proposed sign, 44 square feet, would be located beneath an existing Restaurant Depot sign with which the applicant has an agreement. \"The sign location is absolutely necessary to provide safe and visible entrance,\" De Ciccio said.

De Ciccio argued the sign would not alter the character of the area, noting Route 110 has numerous commercial signs and the proposed sign is smaller than the adjacent Restaurant Depot sign. He told the board the applicant had consent from Restaurant Depot and said the relief sought was necessitated by the site configuration: the Curtis Wright property has no direct frontage on Route 110 and relies on a private access (Glove Circle) that connects to the road.

A board member moved to approve the sign for three years; the motion passed on voice vote. The chair noted that on initial sign approvals the board often grants one year but in this instance extended the permit to three years. The record includes a planning division memo (07/02/2025), an environmental-control memo (07/08/2025) and a Suffolk County planning memo (06/25/2025) that took no position.

The board did not record detailed roll-call votes in the transcript; the motion passed by voice vote and the board instructed the applicant to follow any standard sign permitting requirements before installation.","The Town of Babylon Zoning Board approved a 44-square-foot directory sign to serve Curtis Wright's facility at 66 Broadhollow Road, placing the sign beneath an existing Restaurant Depot sign; the board granted a three-year permit and noted the applicant secured consent from the neighboring property owner.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6174963,"Board approves rear addition at Colte property with conditions; vote recorded",278,1837000,2115000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5363056-5a9f84f5d5924f5550e199a66f472832&start=1837&end=2115","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5363056-5a9f84f5d5924f5550e199a66f472832/thumbnail_1837000.jpg","/articles/6174963/Town-of-Babylon/Suffolk-County/New-York/Board-approves-rear-addition-at-Colte-property-with-conditions-vote-recorded","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6174963-c8e0f6890f5394ce5ed2f16c02e99e4e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770415275&Signature=c0O4HzgW~CEXNSueGC63UrxraRymURIl074RHuyLcWA4qti6sUeSnw6BqjsH0PryU~HYrgm3qAd4Ae3z~9ldaqQE~FYDweA5mJietI-C0KRM4uAtcclMz0hVjQDXjz6j3kfARyjKSpHO48TIFGrqipHpInsYX67b5K6Wj3g5eu8oMN07lTolxbkuwSxFH5MBQiJr7Vd69vYpJ6VVboTo71xuNdpyFiRBGRmfk~3g0AX-efNzYeShwfOeInhyFP-1WtnUS5lq8eYbcr-CR07jKTzGfAArXGLQhcuv94S9kCuDadpfhY~n7MbCT3h49-ib-pojIomSFfzSEdOTsecN5A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Babylon Zoning Board of Appeals on July 10 approved application 25099 for an addition at a property in Colte owned by Jose Tavares, subject to three conditions set by the board.

The board closed the public hearing and said it would reserve decision.

The application seeks to rebuild a pool deck and modify a prior variance that in February 2024 had approved a building-area variance while denying certain setback relief. Architect Bernard Rogers told the board that the new deck removes the portions previously in setback and that the new design is fully setback-compliant: \"Our proposed deck is completely setback compliant,\" Rogers said.

Neighbors said the applicant has not complied with conditions the board set in the prior approval. Elizabeth Arena, of 152 Marcy Street, and other nearby residents told the board they had expected shrubs or trees to be planted and a recalculation of open ground area to show sufficient area to absorb storm runoff. \"He was supposed to submit a survey... he did not do,\" Arena said, adding that her basement has experienced flooding she attributes to the property's prior overbuilding. Jessica Rena, another neighbor, told the board: \"They had 6 months to comply. They've done nothing, but put up more spotlights that are pointing directly into our backyard with cameras.\"

Siegfried addressed the board and framed the hearing as limited to lot coverage: \"It's really just about law coverage. It's what the hearing is for,\" he said, while disputing that the matter was a civil dispute. Architect Rogers confirmed changes on the plans — removal of the portion of deck that violated setbacks and removal of a fire pit — and said the shed would be relocated to a legal position. Rogers also offered to submit photographs of the current yard and said the proposed wood deck would be porous, allowing water to pass through.

Board members pressed whether previously required plantings would be installed; counsel and the applicant later reported that after a brief private conference Siegfried agreed to plant arborvitae along the west side, a concession recorded for the hearing. The board closed the hearing and announced it would reserve decision and mail the written determination to the applicant.

Discussion versus decision: the transcript shows extended public comment and questioning (discussion) and — after the parties conferred — an applicant concession on planting (direction/commitment). The board did not announce a final vote during the meeting; it explicitly said it was reserving decision.

Proper names involved in the hearing include Matthew Siegfried (applicant), Bernard G. Rogers (architect), Elizabeth Arena (neighbor), Jessica Rena (neighbor) and counsel referenced by the board. The board asked for and noted several documents in the record including a planning division memo (06/30/2025), an environmental-control memo (07/08/2025) and a survey by Peter J. Barbizon dated 06/10/2023.

The board will issue a written decision after completing its review; the hearing record remains closed.","At a July 10 Town of Babylon Zoning Board of Appeals hearing, the applicant for 154 Marcy St. sought to amend a prior variance for a rebuilt pool deck; neighbors raised concerns about unfulfilled conditions from a previous approval and runoff, and the board closed the hearing and reserved decision.","actionData","errors"]
