TOWN OF SMITHTOWN
Board of Zoning Appeals Meeting 01/13/09

Case # 1-15850
The former Bella Cucina Restaurant that snuck a kitchen in the basement while the BZA was unaware, is still trying to get permission to open again -
but with a new owner. The representing attorney, Don King, is seeking permission
for parking in an alternate shopping center in order to make the kitchen operation legal but underlying this issue is the fact that the BZA would never have considered the kitchen for this particular property on the first go around. This originally all happened under the watch of Robert Bonerba, the chief building inspector appointed by Supervisor Vecchio. The case was postponed recently and the BZA requested more info; now it's postponed again?????
The hearing gets high marks for its fiery rhetoric.
