Brewster Zoning Board Denies Sole Case After Applicant Skips Second Hearing

BREWSTER -- July 14, 2026, Brewster Zoning Board denies its only active case after applicant fails to appear for a second straight month. The board, meeting July 14, had a single item on its agenda, a continuation of ZBA case 2604, but no applicant or representative arrived. Members waited roughly 10 minutes after one board member disclosed she had contacted staff before the meeting specifically to confirm attendance: "I emailed Lynn and said, you sure they're coming?" The board also noted the same applicant had failed to show the previous evening at a Historic District Commission hearing. The board voted unanimously to deny without prejudice, citing an incomplete application and failure to appear, then adjourned.
