From the meeting
At its October 28, 2026 meeting, the Zoning Board of Appeals approved moving the 8 Oak Street application to a public hearing on November 18, 2026. Lulash Pepaj said the property would convert from one commercial space with a 4,000 square foot apartment above to four one-bedroom apartments, with the first floor hopefully used for office space. The village attorney said the board still needed a third-party appraisal and written financial evidence to show a reasonable return could not be achieved without the variance.
Decision: public hearing set; variance evidence still open.
