Zoning Officials OK Open Porch on Sunrise Avenue Home

A plan to build an open porch onto the front of Sunrise Avenue home took a step forward last week. Zoning officials on Dec. 1 granted a variance to the owners of 64 Sunrise Ave. to build a few feet further into the front yard setback than town regulations allow. Saying the proposed porch is in line with the neighborhood and other houses there, the Zoning Board of Appeals voted 5-0 in favor of granting the variance for the 1953 Cape.
