>> Deborah Laurel, L A U R E L. And I'm at nine Stegman. >> This is eight. >> Thank you. >> Oh no. And uh I request the case be carried
>> with preservation of notice. >> Okay. Okay. Why do you need that sir? >> I will explain. I have been on the phone for at least a month or two months uh trying to find an attorney. Oh, let me
get the [snorts] microphone. uh searching the Jersey City V vicinity for either an attorney or a city planner to help us with this case because this is all new for us this whole process and
um everyone tells us we're busy. We have work in front of the zoning office. This is an extraordinary situation. Um, I'm starting to make calls to the Princeton area, places that are farther away to
see if we can find someone. Um, I also yesterday was >> Let me Let me stop you right there, ma'am. >> Oh, you I I understand. And and you you you should present your case with an attorney. But now, Mr. Lean, you're here standing up. You you're here for what
reason? I I represent the developer of the property who >> got permits to construct it [clears throat] uh completely under the the ordinance uh and you know that complies in every sense. Uh obviously we think it's prejuditial that this was
carried from January because they failed to notice. Uh we're here tonight. I'm here to defend uh the plans that my applicant has. Um and now they're asking for more time when we believe that the matter has no merit before the board. So
um listen, we'd be open to an adjournment, but um you know, I think my client has the right to proceed with the the permits that he has as of now. I I don't think that he he has a right to demolish the building. He's got that
permit. He's got a signed set of plans from the zoning office. So, if they want an adjournment, that's fine. My client's going to proceed with the rights that he has. >> I guess there's nothing we could [clears throat] do about that. U I Let's put it this way. Uh they have a right to
an adjournment. >> Absolutely they do. >> So, uh be that as it may, you have a right to an adjournment. We'll carry your case with notices. But, >> uh I [clears throat] whatever they do, they do. >> Yeah. >> The developer. I mean, that's I can't
stop that. we'd be proceeding at our own risk and we understand that. >> I mean, >> no, the case that I represent in We Hawin, they built an entire building 40 stories while somebody was appealing. So, it's at your own risk. We know that it's not a problem. The question I have
for you, ma'am, is uh you know, we'll we'll carry this with preserve your notices, but uh I I don't know how to tell you how to get an attorney. You know, may have you called the Hudson County Bar Association and asked them for a reference. They they
>> I've been calling a lot of people uh at Connell uh Foley because that gentleman represent [laughter] >> I know that's why they told me they have business in front of the board. So I go, "Oh, not again. I've heard that so many
times." Um but I spoke with Ronald Shalian yesterday. Yeah, he's here. >> Yeah. and he's the one that said, "I really recommend that you ask for uh a carry yet that the case be carried." Okay. And so we conferred and we agree
because we believe we need an attorney. >> Yes. I believe you do also. >> So let's say we is uh Well, what do you say there, Mr. Lean? Uh but this is already February, right? So now >> I I I guess we're going into March. I
don't know how much time that they have. Um but you know I I listen I we're willing to carry you know >> in the March meeting Joseph is when >> March 5th >> March 5th.
How's that young lady? March 5th. >> Does that give you time? I don't Let's put it this way the whole time [laughter] trying to find you know the right person. Yeah. If if you don't if you don't find anybody, could you please call that gentleman, Joseph, and
>> Oh, I will. Yeah. Yeah, I'll keep >> I want Mr. Lean to come again. >> No, we want to have someone by March 5th. Definitely. >> Yeah, >> we'll carry it this time. >> No problem. >> Thank you. >> Next time we might be a little bit >> We were ready [laughter]
>> just in case we had everything ready. Yeah. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> Okay. Thank you. >> All right. Good luck. >> Thank you. >> Okay. Thanks. >> Okay, that was interesting. >> He said what? March. >> March 5th.
>> March 5th. >> So that's March 5th with the preservation of notices. Okay. >> Okay. Okay. All >> right. Mr. Okonnell, that's you now. >> So the next case Iris is uh Z2024-000063. >> It's a C variance. The address is 100 to
Calb Avenue. It's how do you say that? Mr. Okconor Leak Yung Lee >> Le Young Lee goes by John. >> Oh, that's easy. That's easy for me. >> Billy would be better. >> Okay. >> And he's here with us tonight. So, thank
you, uh, Mr. Leagle. So, it's Eugene O'Connell appearing for the applicant. Um, it's a pretty straightforward application. It's a rear yard setback variance. Uh, we're going to demolish an existing garage and construct a three-story building with two units. It is a notice case and I have notices.
>> Yes. >> Yeah. Uh, Iris, we have their notices their uh the notice of this hearing, an affidavit, proof of service, notice of publication. So, we'll mark that as A1.
And uh, yeah. Okay. I'm going to see what the back door guy wanted. >> What back door? Oh, that one in there. >> Yeah. >> All right. He's leaving. Okay. Okay. You can continue.
>> Okay. I have one witness tonight, architect, Donald Chen. He has not testified before the board before, so I'll qualify. >> You want to swear him in first? >> Okay. Sir, do you swear that the testimony you provide this evening will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? So, I'll help you
guide. >> Yes, I do. >> Please state your full name for me. >> Donald Chin, CH H I N. >> Okay. Thank you. Witnesses for >> Thank you. So, Mr. Chen, could you please give the board your educational background? [clears throat] I have a master of architecture degree
from the University of Michigan and I've been a uh registered architect for about 30 years and about uh 20 years I've been licensed in the state of New Jersey. >> And have you appeared before zoning boards and planning boards in the state of New Jersey? >> Uh yes I have.
>> And your license is current? >> Yes, in good standing. Yes. >> I offer my >> Okay, we'll accept them. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. So, uh, could you take the board through the plans? >> Sure. >> And, uh, we're gonna
ask African is going to help with the >> six, man. he said eight. >> Yeah, >> I said five. He said eight. He said six. >> Broken arms. >> Okay. >> All right. What are we doing? Plug it
in. But okay, keep going though. Gotcha. >> Iris, does that bother you? The noise out there. Do you want me to shut it? >> Locking it out right now. >> I could shut the door.
>> It should be gone. >> It didn't look that way. They're coming back. >> They're coming back. >> Which screen does this go to? >> We don't seem to be We don't seem to be getting the images onto our uh are there. >> Okay.
>> Okay. >> All right. So, maybe initially we just take the board through the streetscape of a location. >> Sure. Uh well, uh good evening, ladies and gentlemen. >> So, uh Okay.
>> Our project is located on Decal Avenue in the R1 district in the 100 block between JFK Boulevard and Westside Avenue. It is a block and a half from Holy Name Cemetery. Oh. >> Uh, two doors down from La Point Park
and just north of St. Peters University. Uh, the neighborhood has a mix of residential building types from single family and two family dwellings to four, five, and six story apartment buildings. Um, which you can see uh
on the uh photos on the left and right of the sheet. Uh looking up and down uh east and west onto on decal, you can see the the apartment buildings. Uh across the street from this from the property uh the drawings uh on I'm
sorry, the photos on the the bottom of this sheet are uh s attached singlestory garages for the properties which front uh Highland Avenue. Uh the right of way for a decal is only 32 feet in width which uh compared to
the typical 50 to 60 foot rightways for the typical Jersey City street. And the uh site is a short walk to a variety of bus and train stops.
So the uh property is let's see is uh 20.2 2 ft in width and 76.5 ft in depth for an area of 1,545.3 square ft. Uh the lot is smaller in width compared to the Jersey typical
Jersey City lot width of 25 ft. And the property the property currently has a one-story garage in the middle of the lot. Uh there's a curb cut that is just about the entire width of the property. A chain link fence and gate
are on the front lot line and currently the garage, driveway and rear paving cover 100% of the lot and the uh adjacent buildings are built to the side lot lines.
Uh also so Mr. Uh Lee owns 98 Decal, the building to the east of of the property, and has gotten building permits to close the two second floor side windows, which we will discuss in a second. >> All right.
>> And that's basically to comply with the the building code to windows. >> Yes. Okay. >> Um >> so why is proposed to be on the on the property. >> Yes, sir. So, we are proposing to
construct a three-story two family dwelling with a roof deck which is permitted in the Arwin district. Uh the front of the building will align with the front of the neighboring 102 Decalp, the bu building just to the west of the property.
Uh the building will be built to the east side lot line adjacent to 98 decal, which is why Mr. Lee has obtained the permits to close up the side windows on the second floor. On the west side, there will be a 3'2 in sideyard to allow
for windows and egress from the bedrooms to the to the street as permitted under the R1 bulk standards. So we are proposing a 10'1 in rear yard for which we are requesting a variance
as the required rear yard for this lot is 19 ft which would be 25% of the lot depth. Uh the proposed lot coverage is 76% of the lot which is less than the 85% maximum permitted.
So, as seen on the site plan, which is the drawing number one on the lower right corner of of the sheet, uh the rear yard depth is just like 2 and 1/2 ft shorter than 98 decal and deeper than the rear yard of 61
Styverent, which shares the rear lot line. Uh their rear yard is 7 ft. So, we feel that the 10 foot 1in rear yard is in proportion to the depth of the lot and its neighbors. Okay.
Okay. Uh so for the rear yard, we were inspired by Japanese gardens and how they make use of space. So we're proposing to install lowmaintenance Japanese themed plants, which you can see in the on the sheet. uh garden pebbles and bamboo fencing,
which is actually just a roll of bamboo stalks, not the actual plant, which can be attached to ordinary wood posts. Um they sell things that sort of thing at the Home Depot, which is so it's not that unusual.
All right. Uh so in the rear and sidey yard we are proposing to install permeable pavers that will be installed over gravel drainage beds that will hold uh storm water runoff and allow the runoff to be absorbed into the soil instead of running off the property into the sewer
system. Uh you can see uh images also on a 1.2. Uh permeable pavers are on the uh the right which have um gravel joints so the rain water can go off the pa in through the
joint into the gravel bed. So, okay, let's see. And then in the the the rear garden for the uh garden pebbles, we proposed to install a plastic geog grid,
which you can also see on drawing 6A right over here. Um, which which are installed over also the gravel storage beds. Um and then further landscaping we are
proposing um in the front yard to install uh lowmaintenance plants that are native to New Jersey. And then there will be a 4ft uh fence at the sidewalk. Uh there will be a new sidewalk and
curb. Uh we'll be elimination eliminating the existing curb cut which will allow parking in front of the property which is the goal of the R1 district and then the tree ser super superintendent has determined that the sidewalk is too narrow for a street
tree. So Mr. Lee will make the requirement required payment uh to the city tree fund the floor plans. >> Okay. Okay. So, I think just the floor plans next and that and then then the uh the materials on the building that >> Oh, yeah. Okay.
>> Be enough. >> Yeah. Uh so, the uh two family dwelling will have three floors over a cellar as well as a roof deck. Uh each floor is just under 17 feet in width and 63 feet
in length for a total each floor of 1,063 square feet. Okay. Uh from the sidewalk on the right side of the building, uh if you look at drawing number two, which is the first floor plan, uh second plan from the left, uh there's a short exterior
staircase leading up to the entries for both units. Uh unit number one will be comprised of the first floor and the cellar. Uh and the entrance is at the top of the landing. Uh the first floor of unit one will have a living, dining area and kitchen and
three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The cellar which is drawing number one all the way on the left uh belongs to unit number one also and will have a storage laundry room half bath and meter rooms for both units.
And then there will be a garbage and recycling storage room for both units to use. Uh the seller can be entered from the interior stair from the first floor and there will also be an exterior door on the sideyard which uh if you look on
uh side elevation uh it's kind of right sort of right in the middle of the uh of the side elevation. We see the figure of the of the person walking towards uh unit number two we have the second and third floors and
the roof deck. So, those are plans uh 3, four, and five. Starting from the middle of the sheet, uh the front entry door is also at the exterior door uh exterior stair landing. The staircase leads up to the second floor where there will be a living, dining area and a kitchen, an office,
family room, and a bathroom. And then there'll be interior staircase which connects the second and third floors and the roof deck. And the third floor of the unit two which is uh drawing number four second from right will have four bedrooms and three
bathrooms. And then the last is the uh the roof deck uh drawing number five all the way on the right of the sheet. Uh the roof deck will be just over 800 square ft and set back 14T 4 in from the front of the
building. uh which is more than the 10-ft minimum setback required. Uh and the front of the roof will have uh solar panels and there will be about 80 square feet of landscape trays as seen on uh sheet
A1.4 these are in the bottom right corner. So let's see uh so that they will have lowmaintenance succulent plants and they can help uh absorb rain water. Uh the roof deck will
also have uh house the condensers for the minislit HVAC units. So you can see a sample uh on the lower left corner and they'll be right next to the uh the stair bulkhead.
Okay. And then so as far as >> maybe we'll go to materials now. Uh yes, we wanted the exterior of the building to be in keeping with the character of the neighborhood. Uh the three stories will be clad in vinyl
siding and the cellar will be clad in brick in the same way that the neighborhood houses have a masonry base. The windows will be double hung. A main feature of the facade is a roof cornice uh as you can see at the top of the top of the building uh that is remin
reminiscent of the cornises on many of the neighborhood buildings and the colors will be uh warm earth colors and the windows will be dark bronze frames. >> Okay, I don't have any further questions. Um, I don't know if the board has any questions.
>> Can I give the positive and negative? >> You want to do the variance? >> Uh, well, I was just going to buddy if you want to. >> Oh, yeah, you could. He he wants to testify as to the set the rear yard setback. So, we'll put that on the record. Go ahead. >> Okay. Uh so with regard to the positive
criteria needed uh we feel that the project will advance the purpose of the m municipal land use law by being consistent with uh purpose a of the law which is by using underutilized property which currently only has a garage to
develop a two family home in the residential district. The project is an appropriate use of land and furthermore it's consistent with purpose E of the law uh by increasing the number of housing options with a two family dwelling that fits in the
neighborhood. Uh the project will promote the establishment of appropriate population densities and concentrations and that contribute to the well-being of persons, neighborhoods, communities, and regions. And is also consistent with purpose I of
the law by providing an new attractive building with site improvements such as front yard landscaping and a new sidewalk that will take the place of the chain link fence and the broken sidewalk and curb cut. And this will promote a
desirable visual visual environment. And lastly, it's consistent with purpose G of the law by providing new housing options within a transit oriented area. And we are promoting the appropriate location and use of land for buildings.
So with the negative criteria uh we believe that granting the requested variance for the rear yard setback will not result in substantial detriment to the surrounding properties and neighborhood. The proposed height, building coverage, and sideyard setback are permitted. And we feel that the
project will allow for adequate light, air, and open space for both residents and neighbors, and that the project will provide new highquality housing options that will be a more effective use of land than a garage. It will provide improvements for
the public by way of a new sidewalk, landscaping, and elimination of the curb cut. and it will promote the principles of the transit village by providing new housing options within a transit oriented neighborhood that has many mass transit options.
Uh so in closing, we believe that the variance for the rear yard setback can be granted as the project meets the goals of the R1 district which encourages compatible infill and preserving the streetscape and on street parking. [clears throat] Thank you.
>> That's my presentation. Thank you. >> Thank you. Um, do we have anybody? Excuse me. >> Is that it? That's it? >> Yes. >> The general >> Did you Did you have a question? Did you Did she want to speak? No, >> she's not here for this.
>> She's not here for this. Okay. Commissioners, do we have any questions? >> Comments? No. Okay. So, may we have staff >> uh so staff agrees with the applicant's testimony. um through this process of
working with the applicant. Uh one concern is the storm water management on the property that we had and we believe that the applicant worked with us to address those concerns with uh the landscaping as well as the
um additional sustainable aspect of the building with solar panels. So staff would ask that the applicant agree to the conditions listed in the memo dated February 2nd, 2026.
>> Applicant agrees with the conditions. >> And with that, staff recommends approval. >> Okay, great. Thank you. Okay, so >> have a motion. >> Motion. >> May I have a motion? >> I'll make [clears throat] a motion.

>> Did I get dressed this morning? Yeah, I did. [laughter] >> It's about all >> We're having a bad day over here. >> We [clears throat] can't get it together. I say five. This says six. He said eight. I'm like, "Wait a minute. Does he only?"
>> No. [laughter] >> If we had a full schedule, that's it. >> I [clears throat] would call for an adjournment. >> Okay. So, we have resolutions. >> Yes, we do. I'm just going to put them in order for one second. Just give me a moment. >> The gentleman is putting the resolution
in order. So, [laughter] place. >> You need help? >> No. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> [snorts] >> Who's on the beach? [snorts] >> Oh,

So the commissioners in attendance that evening were Chairman Jacobs, commissioners Donnelly, Aoyo, Green Park, and Shaded. So, two to my left were the only ones here
that time in February of 2023. Right. How quick they forget, right? >> I know. >> Well, in any event, in that appeal, there were we made two motions because there were two different issues.
So, one was um a motion was made to deny the appeal which would affirm the zoning offic's decision uh saying that the parking space that they created was illegal.
And that motion passed with chairman Jacobs, Donlay, Aoyo, Green, and Park voting in favor. The dissident vote was Commissioner Shadid. But that that mo motion passed. Five in
