The Milton Zoning Board of Adjustment agenda for September 24, 2026 includes a motion to rescind a previously approved motion regarding case withdrawals due to an incorrect vote tally. A public hearing is scheduled for a variance application by Brian Baker, applicant, and Amzak Ironwood Shortridge, LLC, owner, for 619 Governors Rd, Map 25, Lot 2. The variance seeks relief from Article II, Definitions, No. 18 to permit a 24-hour residential care facility for clients aged 12-20, despite the definition specifying the service is for children 12 years or younger and the term "day" is used. If granted, a subsequent public hearing will consider a special exception application by the same parties to change the use from a school to a Child (day) care facility per Article III, 3.5 and Article VIII, I A. The board will also approve minutes from the August 27, 2026 meeting.

The Zoning Board of Adjustment met Thursday, August 27, 2026, at 6:00 PM. The agenda included review of minutes from the July 23, 2026 meeting. Three public hearings were scheduled. First, Brian Baker, applicant for Amzak Ironwood Shortridge, LLC, sought a variance at 619 Governors Rd (Map 25, Lot 2) in the Low-Density Residential district. The variance requests relief from the Child Day Care Facility definition to continue 24-hour residential care for clients aged 12-20, as current definitions limit service to ages 12 or under. Second, a special exception application for the same property sought to change use from a school to a Child (day) care facility, contingent on the variance being granted. Third, David M Paradis & Winnie Miller sought a variance at 40 St. James Ave (Map 33, Lot 27) in the Low-Density Residential district to construct a 15-ft by 30-ft two-story garage with storage requiring relief from front and side setback requirements. No recorded decisions, votes, or dollar amounts were available in this agenda document.
