Summary
The board heard two linked applications to subdivide property in West Babylon and to place new homes on the resulting lots; the hearing was closed and decision reserved pending required test borings (test pits) and submission of floor plans
The Zoning Board of Appeals reviewed applications 25140A and 25140B for a proposed subdivision and new home construction in West Babylon and kept the record open for additional technical information from the applicant.
Christine Faye of Accurate Expediting presented details and said Lot 1’s proposed new home would be a single-family house with no basement entrance but with an egress window; Lot 2 is an existing one-story house with a crawl space under some areas. The planning department flagged missing floor plans and site elevations and requested a percolation/groundwater test (test borings) and elevation details because the proposed development would close a basement and the board needed test data before acting.
The board amended language on the record to reflect an egress window setback change for Lot 1 and then closed the hearing and reserved decision. The record remains open for the requested test borings, elevations and existing-house floor plans before the ZBA will render a decision.
