Summary

The Town of Babylon ZBA amended application 2650 to list NJC Scrap Metal Recycling of Lindenhurst as the applicant (Cherokee Realty retained as property owner) after attorney JR De Ciccio described the industrial property and measures to reduce nonconforming structures; the board closed the hearing and reserved decision.

The Town of Babylon Zoning Board of Appeals amended the record on application 2650 to identify NJC Scrap Metal Recycling of Lindenhurst as the applicant for a transfer-station-related special-exception; Cherokee Realty Corp. remains the property owner.

Attorney JR De Ciccio presented the application for the industrial parcel, describing a 1.3-acre site with a 2,400-square-foot building and two open-air structures; he said the structures have been in place for decades and that the proposal would reduce the size of the open-air structures and comply with planning conditions. The applicant said the property is under contract contingent on receiving zoning and planning approvals and that outdoor storage is limited by site configuration and surrounding uses.

Board member Mister Rigney moved to amend the application so the applicant is recorded as NJC Scrap Metal, not Cherokee Realty; the motion was seconded and the board voted 'Aye' to amend the record. The board closed the hearing, reserved decision, and said the applicant would receive the decision in the mail once staff completes the record.

The planning division and fire marshal memos were on file; the planning memo recommended a negative declaration if the board were to approve. No public speakers indicated opposition during the hearing.
