Zoning board approves second‑story deck in West Babylon with non‑enclosure conditions
Summary
The board approved a second‑story deck over an existing footprint, conditioned that both the upper and lower decks remain open, non‑habitable and without plumbing or heating.
Designer Tom Trefaro told the board the proposal is to build a second‑story deck over an existing deck, keeping the same footprint and not enclosing the space. He said the deck provides a second means of egress from an upstairs loft and that adjacent houses have similar decks.
Board members confirmed the decks would remain open, non‑habitable and without plumbing or heating; one board member also asked about the posted notice sign (the applicant said a paper sign blew down in a storm). The board voted to approve application 26133 with those conditions and the applicant was told to obtain required permits from the building department before construction begins.
