ZBA approves Wheatley Heights two-lot subdivision with standard covenants

The Town of Babylon Zoning Board of Appeals adopted a negative declaration and approved applications 25100A and 25100B to subdivide a large parcel in Wheatley Heights into two residential lots, each with 88 feet of frontage, subject to planning memo covenants.
Counsel for the applicant, Deirdre Cicero, told the board the existing house and garage on the site will be demolished and two new two-story single-family homes constructed. Planning memos dated Aug. 14, 2025, were on file and the board confirmed that the proposed subdivision would make the parcel more similar in scale to surrounding lots. The board approved the applications with the covenants and restrictions noted by planning and instructed the applicant to coordinate with nearby neighbors on construction timing and contact points.
Neighbors expressed limited concerns about construction dust, hours and insurance; the applicant’s representative and the developer said they would comply with Babylon town construction-hour rules, keep the site tidy and carry liability insurance. The board voted “Aye” to approve both applications.
Ending: The applicant must record covenants and submit final plans showing compliance with conditions before building permits are issued.
