The next property the Block Island Housing Board is seeking to develop affordable housing on is donated land that sits on the edge of the cemetery across the street from Ball O’Brien Park. The lot (Plat 18 Lot 2-3) is currently in the Residential A Zone, but the Housing Board would like that designation changed.
On April 14 the Planning Board heard their appeal to change the lot from Residential A to New Harbor Commercial. This would allow for a larger building imprint on the lot and greater flexibility in terms of design and number of people served.

Applications for two individual walkover stairs for beach access located on Spring Street were approved by the Zoning Board at a virtual meeting on Dec. 1. Applicants Douglas and Barbara Faron (Plat 8, Lot 79), and John Gardner and Rachel Horan (Plat 8, Lot 78) had submitted the applications, and had testified in public hearings on Nov. 19.
During the Dec. 1 meeting, member Steve Filippi read two written motions to approve the two applications for the walkover stairs, with Chair Kate Butcher seconding the motions. Both motions passed 5-0, with member Judy Cyronak recused.
