Zoning Board Keeps Public Hearing Open on Davis Backyard Basketball Pad

Jan 29, 2026

Scott Davis appeared to describe a roughly 1,500 sq ft basketball pad placed within 15 feet of a property line; the ZBA opened the public hearing but deferred action because the Planning Board recommendation was not yet complete and wetlands/buffer questions remain. The item will return next month.

Scott Davis told the Zoning Board of Appeals on Jan. 28 that he installed a concrete basketball pad about 1,500 square feet in size and invited neighbors to use it, but later learned the pad is treated as a structure requiring formal permit review. Davis described removing only a few small trees and said he wanted the matter resolved properly.
