# Zoning Board of Appeals (November 4,  2026)

The City of Troy Zoning Board of Appeals met on November 4, 2026. The board approved the October 7 meeting minutes and considered several land-use applications; no procurement, contract awards, or spending decisions were identified. Emma Willard School presented revised campus signage plans, reducing the requested freestanding-sign count to 15 and agreeing to combine two directional signs. Discussion focused on neighborhood sign clutter, visibility, and sidewalk setbacks. The board also heard Verizon Wireless’s proposal to modify rooftop antennas at 207 Broadway, including moving prominent antennas into a chimney-style enclosure to reduce their visibility while improving downtown cellular coverage. The transcript does not clearly capture the final variance decisions for these two applications.

For a separate application involving a seasonal gazebo near a water main, the board continued the public hearing so the applicant could provide a specific anchoring plan, supporting engineering information, and clarification of the water-line easement for Department of Public Utilities review. The board approved an area variance for a 24-foot-wide driveway at 110th Street, intended to accommodate fire apparatus; the transcript notes Troy Fire Department’s support. The exact applicant name and full motion details are unclear in the transcript.
