ZBA approves off-premises directory sign for Curtis Wright at Broadhollow Road for three years
Summary
The Town of Babylon Zoning Board approved a 44-square-foot directory sign to serve Curtis Wright's facility at 66 Broadhollow Road, placing the sign beneath an existing Restaurant Depot sign; the board granted a three-year permit and noted the applicant secured consent from the neighboring property owner.
The Town of Babylon Zoning Board of Appeals on July 10 granted a three-year approval for an off-premises directory sign proposed by Curtis Wright for property adjacent to 66 Broadhollow Road, the location currently occupied by Restaurant Depot.
Attorney J.R. De Ciccio, representing Curtis Wright, told the board the company needs the sign to provide a safe, visible entrance and to direct deliveries, contractors and visitors to the facility. He described Curtis Wright as a defense contractor and supplier of engineered valves and said the proposed sign, 44 square feet, would be located beneath an existing Restaurant Depot sign with which the applicant has an agreement. "The sign location is absolutely necessary to provide safe and visible entrance," De Ciccio said.
De Ciccio argued the sign would not alter the character of the area, noting Route 110 has numerous commercial signs and the proposed sign is smaller than the adjacent Restaurant Depot sign. He told the board the applicant had consent from Restaurant Depot and said the relief sought was necessitated by the site configuration: the Curtis Wright property has no direct frontage on Route 110 and relies on a private access (Glove Circle) that connects to the road.
A board member moved to approve the sign for three years; the motion passed on voice vote. The chair noted that on initial sign approvals the board often grants one year but in this instance extended the permit to three years. The record includes a planning division memo (07/02/2025), an environmental-control memo (07/08/2025) and a Suffolk County planning memo (06/25/2025) that took no position.
The board did not record detailed roll-call votes in the transcript; the motion passed by voice vote and the board instructed the applicant to follow any standard sign permitting requirements before installation.
