Zoning Board of Appeals - July 7, 2026

The Town of Stratford Zoning Board of Appeals held a meeting on July 7, 2026, primarily to consider a petition for variances related to a residential property. The petitioner requested three variances concerning side yard setback, expansion of a non-conforming structure, and minimum lot area for an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) on a pre-existing non-conforming lot. The proposal included a second-story addition and modifications to improve compliance by removing existing non-conformities such as a front entry stoop and bay window. The board discussed the project details, neighborhood support, and the owners' intent to accommodate a growing family. After public comments and deliberation, the board unanimously approved the variances. No other procurement or budget matters were addressed during the meeting.
