Zoning Board Approves Variance for North Wilton Road Addition
Planning and Zoning · Meeting of July 6, 2026
New Canaan Zoning Board of Appeals unanimously approves North Wilton Road addition variance. A separate variance request for a retaining wall at 240 Rosebrook Road was continued from Monday's meeting to August 3. On the main matter, the board voted 5-0 to grant architect Doug McMillan and homeowner Jamie Kemp a variance allowing a mudroom and family-room addition to sit 31 feet from a side property line, four feet inside the required 35-foot setback, on an undersized 1.1-acre lot in a 4-acre zone.
McMillan said the new noncompliant area totals just 42 square feet and that the 1807 house has 797 square feet of unused building coverage remaining. Neighbors on both sides of the property submitted letters supporting the request. Board member Alex called it "not a large ask."
