BZA accepts postponement request for proposed wetland walkway on Heron Lane
Summary
The applicant asked to postpone a variance request for a 153‑foot walkway over tidal wetlands on Heron Lane; the board granted the postponement with no opposition.
The Worcester County Board of Zoning Appeals accepted a request to postpone Case 25‑13, a variance application concerning a proposed walkway that would cross tidal wetlands near 11515 Heron Lane. The board recorded no opposition to the postponement.
The record shows the application sought relief under the Atlantic Coastal Bays Critical Area Ordinance to exceed the allowable 100‑foot tidal wetland crossing by 53 feet for a proposed 3‑foot by 153‑foot walkway. The application cited Natural Resources code section NR3‑125(b)(1) and local zoning provisions.
At the March 13 hearing the applicant asked that the case be postponed; a motion to accept the postponement was made and seconded and the board voted in favor without recorded opposition.
No testimony on the merits of the wetland crossing was heard at the session because the applicant withdrew the case for a later date; the transcript does not record a new hearing date.
