Babylon Approves Variances for Residential Addition Enhancing Garage and Living Space
The Town of Babylon zoning board of appeals heard an application for three area variances for a one-story addition on the west side of a single-family dwelling.

The applicant also proposed an accessory apartment on the second floor. Several variances were requested, including front yard setbacks, rear yard setback, building area, and garage size.

Predatory Fins Secures One-Year Special Permit Renewal in Babylon Amidst Operational Concerns
The Town of Babylon zoning board of appeals reviewed an application for the renewal of a special exemption use permit for a business called Predatory Fins, located at 750 Montalk Highway. The permit had expired, and the applicant stated they were unaware the one-year validity period started from the approval date, not the opening date. Concerns were raised about late-night noise from deliveries and potential parking issues, though the business was not yet open for retail. The board granted a one-year renewal from the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy, subject to conditions regarding parking monitoring and event approvals.
Babylon Approves Variances for Increased Nike Store Window Signage with Conditions
The Town of Babylon zoning board of appeals reviewed an application for a variance to allow increased window signage for a Nike store. The applicant sought to cover more than the permitted amount of window space for corporate branding, similar to their previous location. The board approved the application with a condition that any future alteration, resurfacing, or change to the signage would require ZBA approval, emphasizing that this approval does not set a precedent for 100% window coverage.
