ZBA approves small residential variances for Sage Road and Carroll Street applications
Summary
The Danbury Zoning Board approved a small front-yard parking variance at 6 Sage Road and accepted revised plans for a continued driveway application (25-04) and other Carroll Street variances after engineers confirmed driveway grades and retaining-wall designs; approvals require follow-up sign-offs.
At the same meeting the board approved several residential variances.
Application 25-06 (6 Sage Road): Attorney Neil Marcus presented for Marlene Kemler a limited request to allow two vehicles to park within a 30-foot front-yard setback for a distance of about 10 feet, leaving a 20-foot setback. Engineer Ralph Gallagher said grading and retaining-wall details allow the plan to meet a 12% maximum driveway grade. The board closed the public hearing and approved the variance per the plan submitted.
Continuation application 25-04 (driveway grade and related items) and related Carroll Street items: Engineer Dinos Verbickis (Artel Engineering Group) presented a revised driveway drawing that reduces grade to at-or-below the 12% limit and shows retaining walls generally 5–7 feet high in the steep corners. Board members said as-builts or sign-offs will be required to confirm construction is built to the submitted plan. The board voted to approve the revised plan and the related Carroll Street variances as presented.
All approvals were conditional on obtaining subsequent planning, engineering and, where applicable, health-department sign-offs; the hearing transcript records recorded 'ayes' for those motions, but individual member roll-call votes were not fully transcribed.
