Ballston ZBA schedules hearing on 6‑foot front fence at 22 Outlet Road
Summary
Dolores Draina requested a 2‑foot height variance to install a six‑foot wood fence along the front of her property on Outlet Road to reduce noise; the ZBA declared the project Type II under SEQR and set a public hearing for July 1, 2026 at 6:32 p.m.
Dolores Draina appeared on June 3 to request a front‑yard fence height variance (ZBA2026-006) that would allow a six‑foot wood panel fence along the front of her 22 Outlet Road property to reduce noise from Outlet Road.
Draina told the board the fence would likely run about 195 to 200 feet and would be set back roughly 30 feet from the back of the stone wall; she emphasized the need to block traffic noise and cited increased Outlet Road traffic and a five‑ton truck weight limit in the area. The drawing submitted is not to scale, and the board asked for a clearer depiction of the fence placement.
Mr. Whitton moved, Mr. Merchant seconded, and the board declared the project a Type II action under the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQR), exempting it from further review. The board then voted to schedule a public hearing for July 1, 2026 at 6:32 p.m.
No final decision on the variance was made at the June 3 meeting; the public hearing will allow neighbors and other interested parties to comment.
