The denial of Trillo Development LLC’s application for a 28-unit residential apartment building at 18 to 22 Green Street was a continuation of a previous decision. The Board found no material changes from the conditions which led to their earlier unfavorable action on application A2534, thereby upholding their prior stance against the development. The vote was unanimous, with all present members casting a negative vote, resulting in the application’s rejection.

Meanwhile, the variance request by Lady D. Blanco Bonia for a porch conversion on American Legion Highway was approved, though not without opposition. A neighbor, Anthony Serminara, expressed concerns that the porch conversion might extend beyond storage use, potentially exacerbating parking issues and leading to further encroachment disputes. The board addressed these concerns by stipulating that the enclosed porch must remain non-habitable and solely for storage. The variance included several conditions: it must be exercised within a year, recorded with the county registry, and receive site plan approval before a building permit is granted.
