Summary
Two adjacent Nesconset applications (27 Hayes Street and 9 Jackson Street) triggered sharp opposition from neighbors alleging pavers encroach six inches onto their property, stormwater runoff killed their landscaping, and an 18-foot pavilion destroyed their privacy. The board can only make compliance a condition — it doesn't settle property-line disputes.
