Mr. Chari was copied on some things and while he did nothing improper, uh, he has agreed to step down on that because he was involved in the application before it got to the public hearing uh, side of it. So, while Mr. Ali is doing the proper thing, I just want to caution

Uh all of the applicants are entitled to an impartial hearing uh at the partial at the public hearing. Um and nobody should be

It's all yours, Miss Britain. Good evening. And ju just just understand the board has heard dozens of these so keep it quick. Yeah. Read the version please. Absolutely. I was I think I was here back in the fall on one so I will keep
it quick. Um Victoria Britain for the applicant T-Mobile Northwest LLC. I have with me should you hear it wish to hear from him. Um Peter Tardy who's our uh engineer. We are here requesting um an interpretation of the zoning ordinance
to allow for administrative approvals. Um T-Mobile proposes to add 12 panel antennas, eight remote radio heads, a gas generator, and an equipment cabinet and other ancillary equipment on an improved and operating um communications
facility on an existing water tank. I believe there are I know AT&T is is on the tower already. I think Verizon may be as well. Um, but that is our request and don't know if the board has any questions for us. And the antennas that
you're adding are below the highest set of antennas on the tank. Is that correct? Yes, that is correct. So, you're not exceeding the height of the highest antenna. That is correct. And the storage cabinets that you're using are smaller than the ones that are presently on the site. That is also
correct. Okay. So, you're not creating any new variances? No. You're not going over the height? No. And you're not expanding the ground facility? No. Okay. Uh, and this this application or this
water tank received all the approvals necessary to put the original antennas on the tank. That is correct. And we're not, you know, going against any prior approvals. Okay. Have you submitted an RF report? We have one. We have not submitted it. We figured it would be a
condition of approval, so we would submit it. It will be if you have not submitted it. Have you uh obtained a structural analysis to see if these antennas can uh be added to the water tank? I believe a structural analysis was submitted. Let me just take a look.
It was not part of your application process. So that if the board acts in the affirmative, that would also be a condition of approval. I our application says that we submitted one from September 17th of 2024, but if we didn't, I can resubmit it. It it was not
in the papers that I reviewed. It maybe I missed it, but in any event, that will be a condition. Absolutely. Uh Mr. Chairman, I don't believe that there are any further issues on this matter. I think you can proceed unless you have questions. No. Does any members of the board have any questions for this application or this
interpretation? Hearing none, I'm going to open it to the public. Anyone in the public have any comments or questions about this lure? No one chairman. Okay. Close the public portion. I make a motion to approve this.
Call. Mr. Weissman. Yes. Mr. Tillery. Yes. Mr. Patel. Yes. Mr. Reio. Yes. Mr. Blance. Yes. Mr. Haka. Yes. And Chairman Cahill. Yes. Miss Britain, will we memorialize this at our next meeting and
send a copy to you? Thank you. Appreciate it. Have a good night. You too. Bye bye. Move on to item number 725-CV-09V Plusim Badat. Is Mr. Badat present? Yes, I am. Okay, Mr. Badat, I need to swear you in. Could
you raise your right hand? Okay. Do you swear that the testimony you're about to give should be the truth? Yes, I do. Your name and address, please? Badat, 617 Buckingham Drive. Please guide away. Thanks. You can put your hand down and explain to the board why you're here.
Uh, yes. So, good evening members of the board. My name is Kasim. I reside at 617 Buckingham Drive and appreciate your time today to consider my application for variance relief. I'm here to present a thoughtful and modest proposal that
aims to meet my family needs while respecting the zoning requirements and neighborhood character. I understand the board takes all variance request seriously and I appreciate the opportunity to present my case. I'd like to briefly walk you through the project and explain why we are requesting the
approval. Can't hear him. Okay. Yeah. Mr. Pod, can you speak up because I'm also having trouble hearing you. Yeah, I won't be able to do minutes if I can't hear you. Um, yeah. Can you hear me clear now? I can hear you, but perhaps if you could get closer to your microphone, we would
hear you better. Okay. Um yeah. Okay. So um hopefully this should be a bit more clearer than uh earlier. It's much better. Thank you. Okay, that's good. Um so yes I'm aware of you know we I have pre-existing non-conformities and in terms of the lot
size the rate that setbacks and you know the others also in terms of the building coverage you know the zoning limit is 20% and my proposal is 20.5 you know the slight above the limit
is due to the existing shed which I have um and you know so we are not adding any impervious the surface or significantly enlarging the footprint. You're simply building above the garage which is minimizing the impact on land and storm water drainage.
So the reason for the addition is mainly because you know the u um the new master bedroom suite which I'm adding above the existing garage is to allow for my family you know I have uh three kids uh we are short by you know two bedroom one
because of the you know for the additional child and and also work from home so I need a home office currently I'm just working from my bedroom so that's that's what the need is in terms of the you know the reason for my expansion.
Okay. Um Jonathan, could you jump in here with some ideas? Yes. So, we have a couple comments here. There's a structure located in the southwest corner of the property. It's in the storm drainage ement. We'd like to see that removed. Yes. Uh definitely. So,
that was is just a temporary seasonal structure that was put in place uh you know to celebrate my son's graduation. Um, but you know, it's just like hooked using some nails on the floor on the on the ground and can be easily removed. So, yes, that's definitely going to be
removed. Okay. And then we we'd also like to see the shed removed to get to get us uh down to the 20%. Oh. Uh, so the shed needs to be removed in order to get to 20%. I mean, it's only 0.5. Uh, is there any room for for any
other changes? [Music] Um, unless unless there's a reduction to the footprint of the building, uh, no. I think the shed reduction would be far far easier for you to do between the
two. Um, okay. So, if I were to revise the reduction, I mean, would that would that be helpful? I mean, we we want the building coverage to be no more than 20%. So, however you'd like to do that. Okay. Okay. That's yeah, I can compare
with that. That's not a problem. Okay. And anything else, John? Uh temporary structure. Uh we we won't uh we won't allow any permits without that temporary structure still up. So, uh once down, we can we can really get
things mov. Yes, definitely. So, yeah, that that structure will be removed. Definitely. There's no no question. No. Any other members of the board have any questions or comments for this witness or 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, let's close the public portion and I'd make a motion to approve this application with the stipulations made by Jonathan. Please call RO. I need a second. I'll second it. Thank
you. Mr. Wisman, yes. Mr. Tiller, yes. Mr. Patel, yes. Mr. Reio, yes. Mr. Blunt, yes. Mr. Haka, yes. And Chairman Ko, yes. Your application has approved as
amended has been approved. We will memorialize it in a written document at our next meeting and send that document to you. Good luck. Thank you. Have a good night, sir. Let's move on to item number A25-ZB-21B. Alicia Jimenez. Hi. Yes.
Hello. I need to swear you in. Could you raise your right hand? Do you swear that the testimony you're about to give should be the truth? Yes. Your name and address, please? Uh, my name is Alicia Gimenez. My address is 20 Mitchell um Avenue, Piscatoaway, New Jersey 08854.
Thank you. Can you explain to the board why you're here? I am here um we just purchased this house in February. Um, there was an existing bathroom put in, a second bathroom in the second garage and
it is.5 wider than the code requires. So, you're seeking relief for that bathroom in the garage? Yes. Um, let's see if our experts have any comments on it. Jonathan, you have any uh thing to add to this? Yeah. So, unfortunately, the way that the floor
plan is after the um this this bathroom was constructed illegally and the resulting floor plan has no uh car bays that are up to code. So, it's unusable as a garage per code. Uh and while we
note on our report that there's no impact to the the neighborhood, the community at large, it's still legally built. Uh we spoke about this with our building sub code official who also raised concerns. So we feel that the shower has to be removed uh as a
minimum. Um and then the uh wall there needs to be some modification of the walls to allow at least one of these bays uh to be conforming to the uh the the uh the code 12t by 20 ft.
Okay. So the wall and the shower would have to be removed. Yes. The wall needs to be moved. The wall shower needs to be removed. And all that work would have to be done
with permits. Okay. You can keep the sink, you can keep the toilet, but the shower's got to come out. Okay. Um, it's a good deal because normally we don't we don't allow Okay.
I'm sorry, Alicia. No, you go. Um, so no, I'm just trying to understand. So, we're not allowed to have a shower, a second shower, but the the toilet and everything else can stay. That is correct. I think as it as it is right now, the staff doesn't feel comfortable
with it with it being uh allowed. Okay. Okay. Um, I suggest we postpone this to a later date so she can come back with new plans. Is that correct, Jim? Yeah, that that would allow the applicant to avoid
starting all over. Uh, this way she could go over That's why I don't want to deny it tonight, right? That's the rather than deny your application tonight in its present uh status. Okay, we're going to postpone this, which gives you and affords you an opportunity to come back with um
different plans as to the removal of the shower and the moving of the wall. Okay. All right. Okay. Any other I I recommend that the board put this off uh for a minimum of 60 days
to allow the applicant to get a a plan. Okay, that sounds good. Um, Gimenez, you're going to have to go get a an engineer and come up with an alternative plan. It's going to take you some time. Normally, the board adjourns these things for two weeks or four weeks, but
I think it's going to take you longer than that to get that. So, would you consent to an an adjournment of 60 days? Um, yes. Okay. What are we looking at, Laura, out 60 days? I'll try. for June.
You want to do the end of June? June 26th. That's pretty close. Okay. Miss Gimenez, you want to shoot for June 26th. And certainly if you're not ready to go at that time, you can notify the board and we can carry it again. Okay. Okay. So, anybody here on the Gimenez matter, it's going to be carried to June
26th with no further notice by the applicant. The only notice you're getting is my announcement here tonight. Okay. See you in a couple of months, Mr. Amen. Okay. Thank you. Have a good night. Byebye. Uh, let's move on to item number nine.
25-ZB-23V. Miguel and Leticia. Is it Ulu? Okay. I'm not that far off. Yes. Mr. and Mrs. Ule, are you both going to testify tonight? Yes. Okay. Could you each raise your right hand? Do you swear that the testimony you're
about to give should be the truth? Yes. Yes, sir. One at a time, could I have your name and address, please? My name is Leticia Uli and my husband. And my name is Miguel Euli at 303 Kelmer Court is Scarway. Thank you. Could one of you
explain to the board what you'd like to do here? Um, we are the variance for we we installed a fence which is we didn't know that um we are not or allowed because we're in the corner lot.
So it was like um against the setback and they call it setback. Did you have it installed professionally or did you do it yourselves? We have somebody installed them and they they didn't go down to town hall to get the paperwork provided that
showed where the easement was? No sir. Okay. No, I just it's not on you then. Unfortunately, we get these cases all the time. Um, Jonathan, can you offer some solutions? Yes. So, we would like to see the fence
moved along Joyce Drive. Uh, it's a 25 foot requirement. We'd like to see the fence um 12 feet 10 ft from Joy Drive. And there needs to be uh since the fence
is already installed, we'll wave the requirement for utility markout of the installation within the easement area. Uh and just an understanding um a memorandum of restriction understanding for the access to the easement area in
regards to the shed and the fence. Can you agree with that? Yes. Uh the existing uh shed right now is in a pretty good shape. So I can I can adjust the length so that it's going to be like
three or four feet from the property line. If you can move it so it's in a conforming location, that would be perfect. Yes, I can reduce the the length. Okay. Yeah, we want it to be at least 3 ft from that rear property line. Yes.
Right now it's like in in a two ft and and then when you move the when you move the fence in from Joyce, we want to see landscaping installed along Joyce. Yes, sir. Okay. Okay. Sounds good. Any any other members of the board have any
questions, comments? So, I have to move back the the fence along Josh Drive like 10 feet, right? 10 ft right instead of 25. Okay. 10 ft back. Yes. Yeah, that's is it 10 or 12, John? Uh,
it's currently five feet back. So, we'd want it we'd want it moved uh if the fence is an 8ft panel, we'd we'd probably say one panel back. That would result in half the distance that's required for the zone. Yes. So, one panel one panel approximately 8 ft back
resulting in a setback of um approximately 13 ft from the property line. Okay. Understood. Yes, sir. Yes. Yes. Okay, great. Any other members of the board have any comments or questions? Hearing
none, I'm going to open it to public. Anyone in the public have any comments or questions about this application? All right. No one seeing Seeing none, I'm going to make a motion to approve this application. Got to get a second. Please call the role. Mr. Weissman. Yes.
