BOARD, from?Page 1 use to permit conversion of a professional office to an apartment for Block 2817, Lot 11, Zone GW-1 at 317 Bellevue Ave. The applicant was Thomas Costa, and his property is between a law firm and a home. The board approved the meeting minutes from July 17 before getting into the lone agenda item of the evening. Absent from the meeting were P.J. Pullia and Vincent Messina.

He was proposing a second residential space on the ground level of the home. Town planner Kevin Dixon went through his report, stating a site plan was needed for a change of use, but it could be waived if sufficient information was provided to the board. “There is no use variance required, so we can strike that from the language. The applicant is proposing the conversion of an office and a residential unit to two residential units. Ground floor residents and upper floor residents are permitted in a GW-1 district, and building types are limited to single house and accessory building. The upper and ground floor residential usage is in conformance with the ordinance.
