At its Feb. 26 meeting, the New Shoreham Zoning Board of Review recorded several procedural votes: it granted two two-year extensions for previously approved decisions, agreed to continue one application at the applicant’s request, approved minutes and deferred a final written decision on a pending special-use permit to the March 26 meeting.
Key formal actions recorded in brief:
- Motion to continue: The board granted a continuance for the Demos Family Trust (Gregory and Desiree Demos, Plat 3 Lot 108) on an application for a variance under section 306(c) for an addition to a single-family dwelling. The chair moved to continue the matter to the March 26 meeting; the motion passed on a voice vote. No individual roll-call votes were recorded in the transcript; the board recorded the outcome as in favor by voice vote.
- Extension granted (two years) — Maguire/Jackson: The board voted to grant a two-year extension of a previously approved decision for Martin McGuire and Linda Jackson (Plat 11, Lot 10-2; Fire number 778 Mitchell Lane). The extension applies to a variance under section 306(c) (side setback relief) and a special-use permit under Article 3 section 306(e) and Article 4 sections 401 and 406 to demolish an existing single-family dwelling and replace it with a larger single-family dwelling. The motion to grant the two-year extension passed on a voice vote.
- Extension granted (two years) — Block Island Housing Board: The board voted to grant a two-year extension for the Block Island Housing Board (Plat 18, Lot 2-3, Westside Road) for a previously approved special-use permit under section 405 (affordable housing) for construction of eight duplex structures (16 rental units) restricted to year-round residents. The motion to extend for two years passed on a voice vote.
- Minutes approved: The board voted to approve meeting minutes for the January meeting (the transcript references approval of the January 22 meeting minutes); the motion passed on a voice vote.
Procedural notes and next steps: The board closed the public hearing on the Thomas J. Martucci special-use permit for conversion of a restaurant to an inn at 85 Ocean Avenue but did not vote on the permit. The board said it will issue a written decision at the March 26 meeting. For the extensions granted tonight, the board recorded the motions and passed them by voice vote; the board chair and members indicated they would prepare binding extension language and place the written decisions on the March 26 agenda for formalization.
