Votes at a glance: Yorktown Zoning Board actions on renewals, variances and site‑visits (May 28, 2026)
Summary
At its May 28 meeting the Yorktown Zoning Board of Appeals approved a set of administrative renewals and variances, set multiple site visits for June 20 and public hearings for June 25–26, and approved an accessory‑apartment renewal 4–1 after referring property‑maintenance concerns to code enforcement.
The Yorktown Zoning Board of Appeals handled a lengthy consent and new‑business docket at its May 28 meeting, approving administrative renewals, referring several matters to the building inspector or Planning Board, setting multiple site visits for Saturday June 20 and scheduling public hearings for June 25–26.
Key outcomes recorded by the board included:
- Accessory‑apartment renewals and administrative referrals: the board agreed to handle multiple accessory‑apartment renewals administratively (e.g., 1344 Edris Road, 124 Northmore Drive, several others) while directing the building department to issue memos and, where necessary, to require a public hearing. Several renewals were referred for site visits or memo review before final action.
- Accessory apartment renewal at 1824 Handover Street: the board approved the renewal but referred the property to the code enforcement officer to evaluate landscaping and property‑maintenance ordinance concerns; recorded vote was four in favor, one opposed.
- Special permit for accessory dwelling at 1592–1597 Silvin Road (Cronin): after a reported site visit and a favorable building‑inspector memo, the board granted a special permit for three years; permit requires a building permit and certificate of occupancy before occupancy.
- Variance approvals tied to conditions: Marco Sanzi was granted variances for reduced sideyard and combined sideyard setbacks on condition that an unpermitted chicken coop be removed, outstanding pool permit issues be addressed and that the addition be built in substantial conformity to submitted plans.
- Procedural referrals and site visits: the board set site visits (June 20) and public hearings (June 25–26) for multiple building additions and setback variances (addresses included: 2942 Manor St; 2890 Boston Rd; 2713 Larks St; 84 Friends Rd; among others) and referred a multifamily floor‑area ratio change for Yorktown Farm Estates to the Planning Board for a memo.
Several of the consent items were routed administratively to the building department for inspection memos and potential public hearings; in a handful of cases the board delayed action pending a site visit or memo from planning or code enforcement. Where votes were recorded in the transcript, the article lists them below; other approvals were recorded without a roll‑call tally in the public record.
