The board scheduled public hearings for two single-family homes on environmentally sensitive lots at 1020 and 1024 Hall Avenue, both with steep slopes and rock outcroppings; the applicant will need to address water mitigation and slope impacts before July. A public hearing for an in-ground pool at 1148 Mamaroneck Avenue was opened but held pending the applicant's arrival. The board also endorsed a zoning amendment to permit underground self-storage in the downtown CB-3 district and unanimously approved a one-year extension for a difficult lot at 126 Woodcrest Avenue.
Meeting outcomes
- 275 Main Street (CB-3 zoning amendment) — Board endorsed proposed zoning change to mini-storage as a special in the downtown CB-3 district; storage would occupy unused 90,000-square-foot basement; concept includes fitness, pickleball, and trampoline park on upper floors; minimal traffic impact projected; must return for special full site plan review.
- 126 Woodcrest Avenue — One-year extension of site plan approval for single-family house approved unanimously; no design changes; board acknowledged the lot's inherent difficulty but confirmed it is a legitimate building lot.
