Weston ZBA Continues Two Hearings, Cites Incomplete Submissions

WESTON -- January 18, 2023, Weston ZBA continues two hearings and flags recurring problem with incomplete applications. The board, chaired by Acting Chair Winifred Lee and including members Stephen LaRock and Wendy Kaplan-Armor, voted unanimously to continue both matters to February 27, 2023. In the more contentious case, Scott and Miriam King of 470 Conant Road sought variance relief from street and side-lot setbacks to replace a 1978-era two-car garage with a new three-bay structure, arguing steep-driveway safety hazards justified the design; the board found the garage "too big" and directed the Kings to return with a reduced design and a sealed civil survey showing proposed grades. Andrew and Angela Rastami of 22 Derby Lane were continued on a special permit for a modest garage expansion after the board found labeling errors and a bulkhead-distance discrepancy in their surveyor's plan. Kaplan-Armor closed the meeting by calling for an administrative session to update the ZBA's application checklist, saying "almost every case I'm sitting on has a problem with it."
