YMCA Addition Application Gets Special Hearing Tonight

Madison's Zoning Board of Adjustment will have a special meeting tonight for the YMCA's variance hearing tonight at 7 at Bayley-Ellard, Room 320.

The hearing has been pushed back a few times, including once due to the major snowstorm at the end of February, and again last Thursday at the regularly scheduled Zoning Board meeting.

The YMCA is requesting several variances to raise a 13,363 square foot addition in what is now deemed a single-family residential zone. The public will have the opportunity to ask questions or comment on the plans at tonight's meeting.

The special meeting will also hear several other cases that have been delayed because of the snowstorms last month.

In other news, an application to build a new two-family home on Keep Street was unanimously denied at last Thursday's meeting. The board was concerned not only with the design of the home and how it did not fit in with the neighborhood, but also how the neighborhood would accommodate potentially four more cars.

The next regularly scheduled meeting will be held on April 8.
