The Town of Babylon's Zoning Board of Appeals convened on September 18, 2025, to discuss several applications, including the first application from Andreas and Jessica Garcia del Alba concerning their property in West Babylon. The meeting began with a detailed explanation of the procedures that would guide the evening's discussions, emphasizing the importance of orderly conduct and the need for all participants to adhere to established rules.

Chairperson guidelines outlined that applicants must submit an affidavit of posting and provide their names and addresses before presenting their cases. The board will review comments from various town departments and any correspondence related to the applications. After the presentation, the board will pose questions, followed by public comments, where speakers must be acknowledged before addressing the board.

The chairperson also clarified that if an application is approved, construction cannot commence until a building permit is obtained. Additionally, if an application requires further documentation or testimony, it may be continued to a later date without the need for additional public notice.

The first application discussed was from the Garcia del Albas, who affirmed their commitment to provide truthful information. The board received a planning division memo and a biomedical control memo, both indicating that the application would not result in significant environmental impact. The applicants were invited to present their case, setting the stage for further discussion.

The meeting highlighted the procedural rigor of the Zoning Board of Appeals, ensuring transparency and public involvement in local zoning matters. The board's decisions will be communicated in writing to the applicants following the meeting, maintaining a clear line of communication regarding the outcomes of their applications.
