ZBA holds Janet Edwards second-story addition application open pending deed and lot merger

The Zoning Board held open the hearing for application 25135, an application by property owner Janet Edwards to build a second-story addition atop an existing single-family home in Wyandanch that would require a side-yard variance (seeking 9.9 feet where 12 feet is required). The board kept the record open to receive a deed and confirmation of a lot merger.

Architect Thomas Blore presented the project and said the second floor would sit directly atop the first floor; the owner plans to merge an adjacent parcel into a single tax parcel and agreed to conditions including no accessory apartments. The board closed public testimony but reserved decision and left the record open for submission of the additional deed and evidence of the lot merger before issuing a final determination.

No vote was taken; the board explained a reserved decision does not constitute approval or denial and may reflect a request for additional documents or site visits before a final ruling.
