raise your right hand you swear or affirm that the testimony that you're about to get before this court is going to be the truth the whole truth nothing but the truth yes just tell us your name by your last name for the record Arad s u oh I am sorry you can begin h uh what
you're doing what you're about did you bring any professionals with you an architect or no I'm alone trying to do by myself so just just explain simply what you're doing I'm trying to expand my house and one wall
expend and add the garage uh connected to the house and raise the second floor to 8 foot ceiling and uh connect the overground
pole to the house okay I think I'll call on our uh engineer can you uh ask the questions about variances in your comments uh yes as far as the uh variance goes there's a front yard
setback requirement of 20 ft and it's with the proposed dwelling which is the same as the existing dwelling is 16 .1 ft so it's the existing condition uh the other bulk variants um necessary is for the
accessor structure setback for the swimming pool from a principal building 15 ft is required and zero feet is proposed what causes that is it the deck right up against the deck essentially right from it's an above G
corre so you use that for going into and getting out of yes I want to have like deck going out from the house straight from the deck going to swimming pool and go back instead of walking to the grass to the Flor okay continue
M uh other than that it's a straight forward application um I have a couple have seen my review yes letter are you in agreement with um addressing all the com I agree on everything okay um
other than that if um applicant want do a little more description of the project i' nothing F thank you thank you very much um are you aware that you're expected to comply
with all the uh directions requests of the engineer yes all right does anyone uh any member of the board have any questions ch and I do the um this according to the drawing A1 it looks to
me like the pool is 5et from the the wall of the back of the house and it will be all connected by a deck and yet the application says there's zero um distance between the house and the pool
is that is that zero because there's a deck involved or yes the deck is a covered deck yeah believe because of the wall so that's considered part of the house right okay thank you any other questions from
board members you have any questions all right uh may I have a motion to open up the meeting to the public so second second all those in favor I I I all those AOS nay any member
of the public wishing to come up and address this applicant ask questions make statements please come up now no members of the public coming forward I close the meetings to the public um any other discussion from the
board there there um I do have a question um on the site there are a couple of utility polls that are at the rear of the property um if you're looking at your garage to the left and
at the back of your property um is that supporting any power or is what what is the purpose there of that pole I don't know I bought the house like in this February I believe I had closing and uh
the electric is coming from the other side of the street the gas is also going through the street so nothing is going from the back of my house to as a utility to my house so maybe this is old one still on the property I'm not
sure um you have a question you have tell me what it is are you a member of the public because you kind of miss that all right go ahead what's your question I step up to the mic you know what I just found out we're

newers Jersey will be very brief tonight and that uh applicant is seeking an adjournment uh to the next meeting we've had an opportunity to review the planner's letter and the engineers letter want to go back talk with our professionals perhaps make some changes and um come back about the need for
further notice at the next meeting which I understand is August 1st uh August is correct we don't have to take any action on this to be carried the board should acknowledge the request to carry and if the board wants it carried
without any further notice we can make that announcement to the public can we consider that so noticed the applicant uh will return at the August meeting the July meeting is Fourth of July so we will not
be here um and the motion will be carried to that point the meeting will not be noted this but you will obviously know from the agenda agenda the posting and if you follow social media it'll definitely be there I would like I want
to take one moment though um because the applicant has mentioned the reviewed the reports um from our professionals our engineer and our planner and uh I don't believe the public gets to see those
reports right public doesn't get to see the planner or the engineer reports publics they prior a meeting okay I was not aware of that they have they have the right to come
down to the municipal building I don't know if those reports are online no they are if they're not then they want to see the reports they have every right okay I just like to call attention to the number one variants on this application was the use
variants and uh I just want to read from our plan's report the intent of the TV BBD that's Transit bill central business district is to create a pedestrian friendly and active downtown presence of
residential units on the ground floor is categorically not permitted as it defeats the purpose of the intent of the central business district um the CBD TB CBD zone of all our zones in
town has the most input of what is required for bulcan area variances of any of the zones um the board would like to see the number of variances requested held to a minimum
all right so I just I just note that there are eight variances it was like to see that sure and understood and that's part of the process that we'll go back with the professionals our engineer our planner our traffic consultant take a look at that and then uh you resubmit you know
well within the time frame prior of the next meeting very well thank you very much members of the public so if you've heard the matter is being carried to August 1st there'll be no further notice required by either publication in the newspaper or if you've received the
certified letter because you've lived with because you live within 200 feet of property you will not that will not happen again uh we're carrying this without further notice so if you're interested in what's going to happen with that application you should return to this location on August 1 at 7
o'clock okay great thank you thank you um so it won't be heard tonight we're going to do some board business you're free to go nobody will find you or anything and we thank you for coming we thank you for your interest um is there any old business before the board
