Alton ZBA continues Paul Monzioni administrative-appeal case to October
Summary
An administrative-appeal request by Paul Monzioni (case Z25-32) was continued to the next regular ZBA meeting in October after counsel and the applicant requested a continuance because only three board members were present.
Lede At its Sept. 4, 2025 meeting the Alton Zoning Board of Adjustment continued an administrative-appeal application (Z25-32) filed by Paul Monzioni to the board’s October meeting after counsel requested the matter be heard when more members are available.
Nut graf The applicant, represented by attorney Steven Nicks, asked for a continuance because only the minimum three board members were seated that evening; both the applicant and the board confirmed a preference to hear the administrative appeal with a fuller board. The board voted to continue the matter to its next meeting on Oct. 2, 2025.
Body Attorney Steven Nicks appeared for applicant Paul Monzioni and asked the board to continue case Z25-32, described in the record as an administrative appeal concerning Article 500 Section 528 and an interpretation by the planning board related to a two-year deadline. Nicks said the applicant preferred not to proceed before a three-member quorum and asked the matter be set when at least four members were expected to attend.
A motion to grant the continuance was made and seconded; the board voted in favor and set the matter for the October meeting (Thursday, Oct. 2, 2025). The minutes and staff confirmed that the board expected at least four members to be available at the rescheduled hearing.
Ending The continuance postpones any board determination on the planning-board interpretation and the two-year deadline question until the October meeting, when parties expect a larger panel to hear the appeal.
