you you can put your hand down and explain to the board why you're here I am here I submitted an application to uh put for a variance application uh I'd like to install a semi- ingr pool in my backyard but I have a narrow backyard so I'm requesting the pool is set eight
feet from the property line instead of 10 additionally I had in the variance is a request to have the pool equipment on the sidey yard versus the backyard uh which ties to that's where my natural gas is so just less gas lines I have to run okay uh Jonathan you want to jump in
here again sir sure so Mr B is there any way we can get that pool equipment moved to the other side of the house the the Eastern side along the garage just so that way the pool equipment isn't generating all that noise next to the
uh the neighbor's house I believe if you move it to the Eastern side it would be abing your neighbor's garage as well so my my challenge with that is the uh heater I'm getting is gas and the gas comes in on the right side of my house
not the left so I would need to I can't adjust the gas line coming to the other side I have the electric comes in on one side of the house and the gas on the other which is why I'm trying to put the equipment there have you spoken to your have you spoken to the neighbor neighbor on the on the right the one decide that the pool equipment's going to be on yes
about this yes they they understand that the pool equipment's going to be on that side of the property they're all right with that they yep I spoke to them they not raised any concerns to me I also filed this with uh all of the neighbors uh within the required distance okay uh would you agree to put
up uh fencing Andor Landscaping to screen the equipment if it was to go on the location you put on the plan yes okay I feel as if I'm okay with the8 feet in the back and if we do the
screening keeping the equipment where it is okay well let's see if we have any of his neighbors on the phone when we go to the public portion thank you Jonathan thank you hey uh hey this is kpes I just joined sorry I saw you thank you thanks for coming to board calp appreciate it

Pine is Kenneth Pine present yes sir and you can hear us now yes sir good could you raise your right hand do you swear the the testimony you're about to give should be the truth I do your name and address please uh Kenneth Pine uh 132 Murray Avenue Piscataway thank you
explain to the board why you're here please uh I I'm requesting a variance for a h six foot fence um the fence has been here the whole time we've lived here and I've replaced it one time before and it's it doesn't it's not in accord with the 25 foot uh setback so
I'm kind of asking that I can have a six- foot fence where it's supposed to be a 4ot 50% open type fence um Jonathan hate to call you for triple duty tonight but you have any comments on it it's my job so the fence is the fence is 2 feet off the property line
where uh 25 ft is uh permitted without a permit um we I spoke with the applicant uh there's an understanding that the temporary construction easement being a 5 foot temporary easement would include the fence and
Landscaping uh if the applicant agrees to that temporary construction easement I don't feel as if there's a way that we can move this fence further inside the property without disrupting established Landscaping um so that that would be my
recommendation fantastic are you in agreement with that sir yes sir I am okay any other members of the board have any comments or questions for this application hearing none I'm going to open it to the public anyone in the public have any comments or questions about this application
no one chairman okay uh close the public portion and I'd make a motion to approve uh this application and I get a second please call the rooll Mr Weissman yes Mr Patel yes Mr Regio yes Mr Mondo yes and

it and right now there are some variance issues with the front setback okay Jonathan you want to jump in for the last time tonight my friend yeah there there's also some concerns about the garage size um I also I also spoke with this applicant um they
provided a updated plot plan which satisfied a lot of our comments uh Mr Yen were you you able to speak with your architect at all about potentially uh moving around some of the Interior layout to get the garage to be a compliant size yes I spoke with the um
building department and what they told me was that I don't need a landing for my stairs in the drive in the garage so instead of having the sideway entrance going up it'll just be straight up so requirement for the township is a 12 by
20 I have a 15 by 20 so that three feet on the left would be for stairs and I'll have a 12 by 20 driveway um garage okay yeah the um uh as long as the applicant follows

thank you go ahead ma'am um I just have a concern about um about the the drainage from the house because I was look I'm looking at the plan and his elevation is higher than mine and um so if you look at the plan the Su pump um
discharge location is at the back leftand side of the property Which is closest to my house so um I mean we did discuss it I'm not blindsiding them or anything um but I guess you know as I'm
looking at is I'm concerned about erosion to my Foundation you know as the years go on and then I guess you know because it's it's a substantially bigger house than what's there now so I'm just worried about like the impervious
coverage like what it's going to do to my you know to my erosion of my property since his elevation is higher than mine and you know like what is the location of the leaders because like now you're talking about a lot more water coming
off of a lot bigger roof uh may I chairman please so those are all very valid concerns um I believe looking at the grading the Orient ation of the slope in the backyard I don't see that some pump
discharge being a a structural concern for your foundation um I'm going to pull up the architecturals very quickly in regards to the the leader locations um but we did make a note on
this um staff memo that they are still within the building coverage that's allowed uh for the lot size okay okay good but with that garage coming closer than it should be like is that going to cause me a
problem because I'm looking at the elevation and like okay his is like 71 mine's 69 as you further go back in the backyard mine's 68 his is 69 you know and as you keep going down toward the lake it's the same
thing right the grading the grading was actually quite uh quite minimal compared to existing grade as as it appears on the the plot plan that their engineer prepared um I'm trying to see
my variance list here like I told Khan I just don't want five years down the road on a trial and you know my my foundations's eroding so th this garage isn't encroaching on the side yard setback
it's within the building envelope in that direction um I think think these architecturals do not show leader locations which is which is typical for architectural plans of
this uh level of detail uh we could make a condition of approval the orientation of the leader outflows uh if the board would like and that could mitigate some of the uh the
concerns yeah because I just had a question like so is there going to be like a drain pipe all around the perimeter of the house or is it tied into the sewer or like just so you know how it works when they give their plans in it gets reviewed by two Engineers okay they go
it they see the water they need a drainage they need a plot plan they they need a grading plant off from their engineers and everything else it it goes through about three or four people in town before they even break Foundation okay got it yeah and if there's any issues if they start building you note to something you come in you know where
we are you call us and then the engineer will send their inspector out to double check to make sure they're doing it as per the plan so how do I know that that's happened when they start building I mean well no I mean like in this case you know Khan came around with you know the notice from the township and I saw he
doesn't have to not he could tell you but you only get noticed for variants people don't get noticed if they're just doing permits so that would be between you and him you know we they don't go tell the Neighbors when hey I'm starting to build something they don't tell them they don't have to by law so I would to wait until my Foundation
erods no I'm talking about when he starts building the house if there's oh well I'm talking about how would I find out you know that about the water well he has to build a plan and then they have they'll see where the leaders are the the engineer goes over
everything they check the grading so if everything's done as per that plan correctly you're not going to have any Ros that's what I want to make sure that it's being long as they build what would it be approved by the engineer they should be fine trust me it goes through several people before they even
get a rubber stamp on it so okay yeah they don't checks and balances it's a whole checks and balances where we make sure that before anything uh gets uh constructed um they know the grade they know what the what the um situation is with the neighbors on either side I do
like Jonathan's idea though about the leaders making it a condition um having the runoff go to the opposite side or maybe to the back and not towards the neighbor's property Mr Steel's property so if that's something we could um we could add on do I need to vote on that is that something we could
just make a condition I can I can add that as a condition yeah I would I'd like to do that Jim I think it it protects appreciate it okay man have a great night okay thank you no problem you all right well we don't need to vote
on this again it was already approved so we are good to go all right uh thank you everyone have thank you Mr Yen take care good luck with the construction thank you all right let's move on to item number 12 adoption of resolutions from the regular
