ZBA approves 18-foot garage variance for Olive Maria Road property in Big Indian
Summary
The board closed the hearing and approved a variance to allow an 18-foot-high garage at 785 Olive Maria Road; the applicant said the change is a three-foot increase over what would otherwise be allowed.
The Zoning Board approved an area-variance permitting a garage up to 18 feet at 785 Olive Maria Road in Big Indian.
The clerk read the notice describing the parcel as 17.88 acres in an R-1.5 zoning district. The applicant (identified as Ralph Colby/Comby in the record) said he planned a garage that would be roughly three feet higher than the zoning limit. A nearby resident asked whether there were visual simulations and whether trees would screen the structure. The board indicated it had the necessary materials, closed the public hearing and later approved the variance during the regular meeting by roll call.
Board members recorded on the roll-call that approved the variance included Gary Guilometti, Allen Bello, Ruby Hubert, Frank Cuevas and Jeremy Bernstein, with a five-to-zero tally in favor. The board noted no additional public testimony was presented at the vote and instructed the clerk to file the decision with the town records.
