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

At the Aug. 26, 2025 meeting, the Town of Babylon board approved an application to legalize an accessory apartment at 29 Daniel Drive. Applicants Megan Castillo Hanna and Margaret Hanna were sworn and presented documents; the board voted to approve the application during the meeting.

The applicants said the accessory apartment occupies what had been a former garage on the first floor with an additional second-floor unit above. The board recorded that the apartment contains two bedrooms and is not currently occupied. The record included an affidavit of posting and a property inspection dated 08/06/2025.

Board member Carolyn Gabona moved to approve the application; Lamont seconded the motion. The board voted in favor and the chair told the applicants they should expect to receive their permit in about two weeks and that renewal will be required in three years.

The board did not raise parking complaints or other objections during the discussion and the approval was granted without conditions at the meeting.
