ZBA approves Heffern plan for new one-story house with attached garage at 8 Pine Walls
Summary
The board approved an application by Heffern to build a one-story dwelling with an attached garage, front porch and rear deck at 8 Pine Walls, granting relief from lot-area, frontage and side-yard requirements as read into the record.
The Patchogue Zoning Board of Appeals voted to approve application 2508, submitted for property at 8 Pine Walls, to allow construction of a new one-story dwelling with an attached garage, front porch and rear deck. The board approved requested relief from several dimensional requirements as described in the application materials.
Why it matters: The approval authorizes a new single-family dwelling in an existing residential zone and grants variances from local dimensional standards the applicant said could not be met because of lot size and frontage constraints.
Hearing materials read into the record described the request as relief from local code sections cited in the application: lot area requirement (read as 10,000 square feet required, 7,000 provided), lot frontage requirement (100 feet required, 70 provided), and total side-yard requirement (35 feet required, 30 provided). The board took a motion to approve the application “as written.” The motion was made by Ms. LaMonte, seconded by Mr. Salazar, and carried on a roll-call vote with members recorded as voting yes, including Mr. Salazar, Mr. Allen, Mr. Fasillo, Mr. Stein and Mr. Nicks.
What happens next: The approval allows the applicant to pursue building permits subject to compliance with any conditions in the official decision and with standard building-permit review. The transcript shows the vote and the board’s action to close the meeting after the vote.
