The Town of Babylon Zoning Board of Appeals on Oct. 9 approved a variance to allow a second‑floor addition at 79 Kyme Avenue in North Babylon. Attorney Gennaro (Gennaro) Cozzolino presented the application on behalf of the homeowner, Anthony DiFabio, and told the board the expansion will remain over the existing footprint and the residence will remain a single‑family, owner‑occupied home. The board voted to approve application 25‑163 after no members of the public spoke on the matter.

The applicant sought two variances: a side yard setback of 10.5 feet where 12 feet are required, and an aggregate side yard of 20.4 feet where 30 feet are required. Cozzolino said the addition is “to build a new second‑floor addition, consisting of two bedrooms with walk‑in closets and a full bathroom with laundry included.” He told the board the addition would not extend further into the side yards.

The planning division, the Suffolk County department memoranda and an Islandwide Land Surveyors survey were entered into the record before the motion to approve. The chair made a motion to approve application 25‑163; the motion was seconded and the board voted unanimously in favor.

No additional conditions or follow‑up tasks were recorded in the transcript. The applicant will receive the board’s written decision by mail.

The file includes standard supporting exhibits (survey, photographs and planning memos) and the board noted the planning and environmental memos in the record.
