The Town of Babylon Zoning Board of Appeals on Aug. 19 approved application 25126 for Heather and Duke Trullo of West Babylon to increase allowable buildable area from 20% to 42.5% to install an in-ground pool, spa and paver patio, subject to a 2-foot setback for patio and pavers from property lines.

Diana Spector of Cornerstone Permit Expeditors represented the applicant and said the project will use a Caltec (referred to in the record as "Coltec") 100 H2 panel system beneath portions of the patio. Spector said the panel system was designed to support heavy loads and that she could provide documentation at the board's request: "I was unable to submit it, but I do have copies here right now if you'd like to see it," she said.

Board members asked several technical questions, including whether the panel system would be placed under the patio (Spector said it would be under the patio, not under the pool) and about pool depths; the record indicates a 5-foot depth referenced during discussion. The board also noted two neighbor letters in the file indicating no objections.

A motion to approve application 25-126 included a condition that all patio and pavers maintain a 2-foot setback from rear and side property lines and specified that pavers are permitted only as per the submitted site plan. The motion carried by voice vote; no detailed roll-call was recorded at the hearing.
