ZBA approves side-yard relief and Section 138-164.C relief for detached garage at 35 Beechwood Drive
Summary
The Ballston Zoning Board granted a 14.5-foot side-yard variance and relief under Section 138-164.C for construction of a detached garage at 35 Beechwood Drive after a neighbor expressed support and no objections were recorded.
The Town of Ballston Zoning Board of Appeals approved area-variance relief for 35 Beechwood Drive (ZBA2026-007) on July 1, granting a side-yard setback reduction of 14.5 feet (resulting in a 5.5-foot side yard) and relief under Section 138-164.C for the construction of a detached garage. The applicant was not represented at the hearing; Julia Stone seconded Mr. Whitton’s motion and the minutes record the vote as carried with 'All in favor.'
Neighbor Andrew Lovelace (315 Goode Street) spoke in support on behalf of neighboring properties and said they had no objections, noting the project lies closer to his property than to Knight’s Orchard. Mr. Clark read the statutory factors for area-variance consideration before the board voted to grant the requested relief.
