Summary

At its Oct. 3 meeting, the East Hampton Zoning Board of Appeals approved several determinations including a wetlands permit for 64 WE Acquisitions, variances for multiple residences and an accessory dwelling unit at 124 Panago Road; several other hearings were left open for more information.

The Zoning Board of Appeals on Oct. 3 approved a set of determinations covering wetlands permits and area variances across multiple properties in the Village of East Hampton.

The board approved a wetlands permit and most requested variances for 64 WE Acquisitions LLC at 64 West End Road, with a written determination denying certain specific elements of the request, the board said. The board also approved a wetlands-related action to allow phragmites control and revegetation at 26 West End Road after village staff recommended a negative SEQRA declaration, concluding the cutting and revegetation would have no adverse environmental impact.

Other approvals recorded included an area variance allowing conversion of an unfinished third-story attic at 16 Hook Pond Lane and variances permitting construction of a detached garage and cellar entry at 27 Hunting Lane. The board also granted an area variance permitting an accessory dwelling unit at 124 Panago Road.

Village representative Billy Hajek told the board that the phragmites project would be a cutting and revegetation program creating a vegetative buffer and that the plan posed no adverse environmental impact. "I reviewed the project and find that there's no adverse environmental impact," Hajek said, and recommended a negative declaration under SEQRA.

Motions on the determinations were moved and seconded; members polled in favor and the board recorded affirmative votes for the items brought to decision that morning.

The board noted that some approvals were granted "with conditions" and that written determinations identify specific elements denied or conditioned. Several other matters on the agenda were continued to future meetings where applicants must submit additional materials or the board will perform site visits.

The board adjourned after completing the day's business.
