11/05/26 Zoning Board of Appeals

The Town of Fairfield Zoning Board of Appeals met on November 5, 2026, to hear zoning variance applications for residential additions, lot configurations, a ground-floor dwelling conversion, and signage. No procurement, contracts, vendor selections, or spending decisions were identified. Among the applications discussed, the board approved variances for two proposed single-family building lots at 256 Pratt Street, a second-floor addition at 687 High Street, and an addition and entry work at 524 Riverside Drive. It also approved variances for two single-family building lots at 165 Pope Street; the board’s discussion focused on allowing two smaller homes rather than a larger two-family dwelling, while keeping the same residential density. These approvals concern zoning and development, not public purchasing or construction contracts.

Other hearings included a proposed addition at 380 Pine Creek, conversion of part of 49 John Street’s ground floor to a dwelling, additions at 40 Hillbrook Lane and 30 Wood Road, and a rear addition at 296 Lake Boulevard. The board also considered sign variances for the Fairfield University graduate-student building at 1 Post Road; the transcript does not clearly establish the outcome of that application or several other hearings. No broader zoning-policy change was recorded.
