Suffolk Board of Zoning Appeals Meeting (3-10-26)

The Suffolk Board of Zoning Appeals convened to consider two variance requests submitted by Tier 1 Construction on behalf of Ark Group LLC. Both requests sought to reduce the required sideyard setbacks from 10 feet to 5 feet to allow construction of new single-family dwellings at 207 and 209 North 7th Street, properties classified as residential medium density but legally nonconforming due to their smaller lot sizes. After staff analysis and public hearing, the board approved both variance requests based on established hardship criteria. Additionally, the meeting included routine procedural matters such as approval of previous meeting minutes and an announcement of a staff promotion within the zoning department.
