Board has listened to the community's feedback regarding the zoning proposal
submitted by the Planning Board in January. While we typically don't respond during the
public comment portion of our meetings, we are listening carefully, not just to what you
have been saying, but also to the concerns behind those comments. And rather than
moving forward with the proposed zoning code update as it was drafted, the Town

Zoning Board of Appeals - Regular Meeting
La ZBA escuchará una solicitud de varianza para un cobertizo en 387 Delaware Avenue
La Junta de Apelaciones de Zonificación (Zoning Board of Appeals) llevará a cabo una audiencia pública y discutirá una solicitud presentada por Stephen Kitchen para un cobertizo de 10x12 pies en 387 Delaware Avenue. El cobertizo excedería el límite de cobertura de lote para estructuras accesorias del municipio, lo que requiere una varianza de área. La junta también considerará la aprobación de las actas de la reunión del 5 de agosto.
- Audiencia pública para la varianza de área 26-01000007 en 387 Delaware Avenue
- El cobertizo propuesto elevaría la cobertura accesoria al 7.6% (639 pies cuadrados), excediendo el límite del 5% en un 1.6% (207 pies cuadrados)
- Discusión y posible acción sobre la solicitud de Kitchen
- Aprobación de las actas de la reunión del 5 de agosto de 2026

✓ Decidido: ZBA approves area variance for 10x12 shed at 387 Delaware Avenue
The Zoning Board of Appeals held a public hearing and unanimously approved an area variance for Stephen Kitchen to install a 10-foot by 12-foot storage shed at 387 Delaware Avenue. The variance was needed because the shed would bring total accessory structure lot coverage to 7.6%, exceeding the 5% limit. The board found the variance request not substantial and that it would not harm the neighborhood. The board also accepted the minutes from the August 5, 2026 meeting with one abstention.
- Approved area variance 26-01000007 for a 10x12 shed at 387 Delaware Avenue (5-0)
- Accepted August 5, 2026 meeting minutes (4-0, Fitzsimons abstained)
