Zoning Board of Appeals

- 213 Mamaroneck Ave wellness center (head spa, foot reflexology, facials) — hearing closed; board to vote within 60 days on whether use requires variance or special permit; board majority skeptical this qualifies as massage parlor and sympathetic to applicant's distinction between wellness and massage. - 427 East Boston Post Road Dunkin' Donuts sign — continued to July 23 meeting; applicant must submit updated or certified survey by July 15 (or letter from surveyor certifying no changes since 2009/2010); board to research any prior ZBA or planning board resolutions on the property. - 621 Wood Street front-porch addition — deferred pending updated survey and 3D or front-view rendering; applicant proposes 8.5-foot front yard setback variance (42 percent reduction from existing 16.2 feet), extending existing noncompliant foyer by roughly 4.5 feet; board member visited site and noted this would be shortest setback on street. - 910 Portano Lane sunroom addition — hearing closed without vote; decision expected within 62 days; applicant submitted corrected zoning calculations and March 23, 2026 survey; needs only rear yard setback variance (4 feet, from existing 38 feet to proposed 26 feet); no public opposition or additional submissions required.

- 448 Mamaroneck Avenue café restaurant: hearing closed; applicant does not need area variance because the operation is 70% dine-in with waiter service, not a carryout restaurant as defined in code; special restaurant use still required and must be sought separately. - 910 Pratano Lane sunroom: hearing adjourned pending corrected zoning compliance sheet, new survey, and property photographs to be submitted within ten days (by May 21); applicant requesting 4-foot rear yard setback variance for 342 sq ft sunroom addition on piers; board found multiple calculation errors in original submission. - 915 Howard Avenue home elevation: variance approved with two-year extension to obtain building permit; original approval lapsed because applicant is pending FEMA grant funding and cannot start construction without jeopardizing eligibility; board accepted existing 2022 engineering reports and architect certification; applicant may return for update in 18 months.
