Zoning Hearing Board 10/19/2026

The City of Easton Zoning Hearing Board met on October 19, 2026, to hear four property applications. No procurement activity, contracts, or spending decisions were identified. The board unanimously approved a special exception for a detached garage at 309 West Wayne Avenue and a setback variance for a prefabricated 12-by-20-foot garage shed at 61 North Locust Street. It also unanimously approved variances for converting 254 West Nesquahoning Street to a two-family dwelling. The applicant withdrew the street-tree variance request and must work with the city forester; the four parking spaces must be marked as nine-foot spaces, with two assigned to each unit through written leases.

The board unanimously approved an variance for the existing 80-foot-wide paved driveway at 812 West Grant Street. Conditions require four reflective no-parking signs and prohibit replacing the asphalt at the end of its useful life, except for a driveway up to the 10-foot width allowed by the ordinance. The applicant stated the paved area would not be used for parking.
