Board approves accessory-apartment permit for 29 Daniel Drive; permit to issue in two weeks

The Town of Babylon board approved an application to legalize an accessory apartment at 29 Daniel Drive on Sept. 9, 2025, voting unanimously to grant the permit.

Applicants Megan Castillo Hanna and Margaret Hanna were sworn and provided standard documentation; the board confirmed the accessory apartment would occupy a former garage area on the first and second floors and that the unit contains two bedrooms and is currently unoccupied.

The motion to approve was moved by Carolyn and seconded by Lamont, and the chair called for the ayes. “Your application has been approved. You can take down your sign,” the chair told the applicants. Board staff told the Hannas they would receive their permit in two weeks and that the permit would require renewal in three years.

The permit was approved without public opposition recorded at the meeting; the board did not identify outstanding violations or additional conditions at the time of the vote.

The applicants were instructed to expect the issuance timeline provided by staff and to follow renewal procedures in three years.
