night by the mayor and council. Welcome to the board of adjustment. Thank you very much. Our first application is 2409
Jack Novak. >> Good evening, Mr. Chairman. John Weski, Weski and Associates. I'm here on ZBA 2409. I was before this board almost a year ago. We received your approval for a
minor subdivision use variance and some waiverss. Um unfortunately because of delays entirely on our part, we were not able to meet the filing deadline to perfect the subdivision. As a matter of fact, only
by about a week, but the law is the law. And since we didn't meet that, we need the board to reaffirm the approval. No changes, exactly what you approved in the resolution uh adopted uh in February of this year. We're just asking for a
resolution of the board saying what we did then we reaffirm tonight and that would enable us to comply with the map filing law and perfect the subdivision. I >> have no issue with that as long as the board's finding it.
I want a roll call vote from the board and reference this. Just to be clear, there there is a resolution that was prepared um ahead of time and I can read it out uh if you'd like record says whereas Jack Noak has applied to the
burrow of Sville zoning board of adjustment for minor subdivision and use variance both variances and waiver to subdivide a portion of lot 102 on Sville Boulevard South in order to combine it with his existing lot 21 on Hillside Avenue which has on it a pre-existing
non-conforming use of a single family dwelling and a two family dwelling. And whereas a public hearing was held on set application by the board of adjustment on January 22nd, 2025 at which uh the board granted requested approvals minor subdivision use variance and waiver. And
on February 26, 2025, the board memorialized the grant of the minor subdivision use variance and waiverss in a resolution. And whereas the time period for perfecting the affformentioned subdivision having expired, the applicant through council has requested the board to reaffirm or
reapprove the grant of minor subdivision. Now therefore, be it resolved by the board of adjustment. Uh the board hereby reaffirms and reapproves the minor subdivision approval granted on January 22nd, 2025 and memorialized on February 26, 2025.
That's what you'll vote on. The board ready to vote on this on this resolution? >> Yeah, Mr. Chairman, I move that we adopt the resolution as written. >> Second. >> I have a motion and a second. Roll call. >> Mr. Green, >> yes.
>> Mr. Kazinski, >> yes. >> Mr. Espazito, >> yes. >> Mr. Emma, >> yes. >> Mrs. Scottsky, >> yes. >> Yes. >> Mi, yes. Mr. Mr. Chairman, thank you. Members of the board, thank you.
>> Should I stay? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Um, first before we we get into the next one, uh, I I want to announce that U case 2514, the Epic Church at 2707 Main Street Extension,
uh, is is not appearing tonight. Uh, Mr. Cornell, >> Mr. Chairman, uh the board may recall that the Riverton developer a number of years ago received approval to modify the parking lot of the Epic Church property. Uh and there also was an
application to install solar pan canopies above the parking lot. It turns out in reviewing the latest plans that did not match the plans that were approved for the Riverton project. So it's going to change the layout of the solar panels. So the applicant for the solar project asked the application to be carried until your November 25th
meeting and have the service preserved. So they can revise the plans to make them consistent with what you approved for the Riverton project. >> Board okay with this? We're going to hear it in November. The Epic Church >> no further notification required.
>> Correct. >> Okay. Our next our next application is 2520 48 seater terrace. Mr. W wasi you want to proceed with this? >> Thank you Mr. Chairman members of the board. John Wneski Wneski and
Associates. I represent the owners of 48 Cedar Terrace, Julianne Separino Akuna Koreah and Selso Akuna Koreah. We are here tonight to obtain variance approval
for work that had already been done. Uh the Akunas had done this work, hired a contractor, and you'll hear from her. Uh and as they got ready to sell the house, speaking with their real estate attorney, said, "Well, make sure you have permits for everything." So she
went down to see Andy, asked to get a permit. and he said, "Well, you needed to get variances, so we're here to correct what was done." Uh, as you'll hear from uh the witness. Uh she hired a contractor. She assumed she hired the
contractor. The contractor would let her know if she needed anything. He did the work. She paid it. And then she found out after the fact that she should have come for used variants, not used variance, bulk variants. Uh the issue really is um lot line uh her driveway
and her deck in the back encroach on the minimum setbacks and impervious coverage. Uh the patio and the driveway when taken in concert with the roof and the other already existing impervious coverage takes it over. Uh but um it's
work that's complete. Uh it's work that improves the value of the property. And uh I'd like to start just simply by asking council if he's received our affidavit of service and if the board is accepting jurisdiction. >> This is good. The board has jurisdiction.
>> Thank you. Uh I only have one witness. Uh that would be the property owner. Mr. Chairman, if you think it appropriate, I'd like to have her come up so she could be sworn and she can testify. Received. >> Okay.
Please raise your right hand. You swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth. So help you God. >> Yes. >> Right. You're under oath. >> That's yours. >> Okay. >> Okay. So Julie, uh just um tell the board about the property you're
on. Where is it located? >> Uh good evening. Please forgive my husband. He's on away on business, so he would have liked to have been here. uh but prior obligations and we reside um 48 seater Terrace in Parland. It's
Laurel Park if you're familiar. >> And so you had some improvements done to your property, correct? >> Yeah, we've we've upgraded the property quite a bit since we've been there. >> And in doing so, you hired a contractor and he came out and gave you a quote and you hired him. >> That's right. And in any of that
process, did the contractor say, "Oh, before you do this, you need to go get a variance or you need to get a permit?" >> No. Nothing was said about that. >> Was it your assumption? If there was a need, the contractor having done this before would have told you.
>> Correct. That was our assumption. >> And then eventually you got a notice of violation from Mr. Mashansky. Correct. >> Yes. >> And that notice of violation came about because you went to see him. >> I did. Yes. You were trying to obtain the permits you hadn't gotten and you
got the notice of violation. >> That's right. >> And after getting the notice of violation, you came to see me. We filed this application and we're here tonight. >> That's right. Yes. >> And would you like the board to approve the work that you've done even though it's already done?
>> Very much so. Yes. >> The board have any questions for the applicant? I >> I have one question. Uh when was this contractor hired? How long ago? >> This was um during COVID. This was
during uh 2020. >> So 40 years ago. >> That's correct. >> Okay. Would I have any questions? >> Yes. >> How long have you owned the house?
>> How long have you owned the house? Hold >> the microphone. I don't think it's on on [Music] >> 13 years. >> And in that time frame, did you have other contractors
do work on the home? >> Sure. Painting went blinds for the windows. Yes. >> Okay. But anything that required a permit that they got for you? I don't think so. I don't know.
>> Did you do any outside work like this other than this time? >> Um, there was the driveway. I don't know. I don't know. Uh, irrigation system. >> Painting.
>> The painting irrigation system. Um, we've >> done some retiling. Retiling in the bathroom. >> Just use this. Keeps cutting up. >> Some retiling in the bathrooms. Uh,
>> well, say for the driveway. Did you get a permit for that? >> For which? For the irrigation system. >> Driveway. >> The driveway should be included here. Yeah. >> Who was my contractor?
>> Yeah. >> I'd have to ask my husband that. I don't remember the name of the contractor. >> Yeah. For the record, can you just go over the variance that we're going to >> Sure. >> Thank you. So
there are the sideyard variances. If you're looking, you have the survey, you'll see Cedar Terrace, the driveway goes right up to the lot line. Servil, I
think the requirement is 5T. So that encroaches on that sideyard lot line from the front along the side sidewalk. >> Be easier just to read. >> I can do that. Thank you. That's even
better. So Mr. Mashansky noted seven items. Driveway extension walk along the Westerly property line. zero currently existing. It should have
been 5 ft. Number two, driveway and walk extension and the rear patio, there's a patio in the back, exceed the maximum total permitted lot coverage, whereas 45%
is allowed, 54% currently exists. There's a detached deck in the rear uh as an accessory structure. Again, the lot line set back is 5 ft, but it shows
up there at what was built as zero. Uh same thing on the sideyard line for that same deck. Whereas 5T is required, zero is provided. Uh there is also a shed in
the corner, a 7 by 8 foot vinyl shed. Uh where there's a 5-ft minimum setback, 1 ft exists on the sideyard and on the rear yard two foot exists when 5 foot
should have been provided. And the maximum building coverage uh in the R5 zone where this property is located, 20% is permitted, 27% exists. And so those are the seven bulk
variances that the applicant is seeking. >> Can you just describe the covered decks? What is it? Is it a deck at more or less ground level and then there's a roof over it or how would you describe it? >> There's a there's a grade. Um, it is
ground level in probably half the property, like half of the deck, but there's a grade. So, it it in order for it to be level obviously it would have it's above the ground. >> Yeah. >> Is it Does it have a roof? >> It has a roof.
>> Mhm. >> About sidewalks. Yes, there are two side walls. One covers uh there's a there's a retaining wall. >> So, I just want to clarify. So, Julie,
in the rear there's a fence that already exists. >> Yes. >> And that forms the rear wall of this deck. >> Yes. Yes. >> And on your side to the easterly side, you have another neighbor with a fence. >> Correct.
>> And that forms part of the side wall of your deck. >> Does that help? >> Thank you. >> Any other questions? >> The only other thing I notic is that they have to have a 10 foot separation
accessory structures except for patio. So anybody have zero feet? >> The patio is at first accessory structures in terms of like sheds. >> Well, like the shed and then the patio with the roof over it. I just thought that that needed to be
>> No, that would be from the principal structure. >> Okay. >> So, it's a 10 foot requirement of the principal structure. Thanks. Any other questions? I'm going to open this to the public. Is there anyone from the public who wishes to speak in reference this application?
Hearing no one, I close the public portion. It's the pleasure of the board concerning this application. Mr. Chairman, I move that the variance be granted. Second. >> I have a motion and a second to approve
this variance application. Roll call. >> Mr. Green. >> Yes. >> Mr. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Emma, >> yes. >> Yes. Okay, the application has been approved.
The resolution will be uh voted on at our next meeting. >> Thank you, Mr. Chairman, members of the board. I appreciate your courtesies. Maybe >> our next application is 2516 20 Orchard Street.
Raise your right hand. You swear I tell the truth, the whole nothing but the truth. So I help you God. I do. >> You're under oath. You could give your name and address for the record. >> Uh hello and good evening. Uh my name is Javanni Balsamo and uh my future
beautiful wife Shannon Aado. We uh currently reside at 20 Orchard Street uh Sable. It's a G I O V A N I possible. B A L S A
M O. >> Would you tell the board exactly what you want to do on that property? >> Uh yes, sir. Um me and uh I'll call my wife. Me and my wife uh bought the house a couple years
ago and uh God willing, you know, we get married next month and plan to have a family. And just with us two, we quickly realized that we're running out of room. And uh you know, we work a lot. So when we're not
at work, we enjoy our activities. Um and we plan to enjoy those activities with our kids. And uh we would like to put a garage um recessed behind the house
uh about 24x30 if possible around the size of a twocar garage. Um mainly just for storage. Uh me and my wife both enjoy classic vehicles, you know, uh 57 Belair,
Chevel's, you know, stuff like that. um bicycles. We do a lot of uh charity rides also, you know, uh uh motorcycles, stuff like that, you know, and um like I said, we are running out of room
fast and it's just us two now. And uh I don't think that the garage we currently have is going to be able to fit, you know, um everything else we need when we do have kids. >> And this is 24T by 30 foot, correct?
>> Yes. Uh, do you plan to put electric into this garage? >> Uh, yes I do. >> Okay. >> Any other questions? >> You plan to put any water or sewer pipe? >> No.
>> Is Is there a second story to the garage? >> No. No, sir. >> Uh, and will it be used for any commercial activities? >> No. No, sir. >> Okay. Just uh domestic. >> Yeah. domestic recreational, you know,
>> not as a um dwelling unit, right? Not as an apartment, just as a garage, just as a garage. Yes. >> What are the variances on this? >> It's 20. >> Okay. >> The other question I had was the height
of the garage. Uh 24 by 30 by 12. >> Yes. >> 15. >> Any other questions? >> Well, on the on the survey, you don't show uh a driveway leading up to the garage, but I assume there's going to be a driveway.
>> Uh yes, sir. So, I do apologize. Um we did obtain a permit about a year ago and um we currently have a horseshoe driveway and we added a second apron to the other side. So there currently is uh
access to that location as it is. Um so we have two 14 ft aprons um one on each side of the property 5 ft off of the property line on each side. So, we are able to access it from from both ends. Just over to where the garage um
hopefully will be. Um there's nothing there right now. Um but I do plan in the future to obtain a permit to maybe put um like a PA patio, something like that, which would be, you know, from the fence
to where the garage would reside. Okay. >> Any other questions from the board? All right. Hearing no questions, I'm going to open this to the public. Is there anyone from the public who wishes to speak in reference this application? Hearing none, I close the public portion. It's the pleasure of the board
concerning this application. Well, Mr. Chairman, just one other thing is uh on on the drawing it says 5T. I assume that's on the one side of the garage between your property line and the just the way it's shown is not probably the correct way, but
>> yes. So um I do apologize about that. Yes, it is 5 ft from >> It'll be 5 ft off the permit. Okay. Jo, I just wanted to get that on the record. Thank you. >> Make a motion to approve. >> Second. >> I have a motion and a second to approve
this application. Roll call. >> Mr. Gra. >> Yes. >> Mr. Kazinski. >> Yes. >> Mr. Espazito. Yes. >> Mr. Emma. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Godstein. Yes, >> Mr. Castle Grant. >> Yes, >> M. Missing. >> Yes. >> Okay, your application's been approved.

everyone should have gotten the uh monthly meeting notice for 2026. If you notice on the first meeting of January 28, 2026, we have the reorganization meeting and
it starts at 7 o'clock. Uh, I would like to uh change that time from 7:00 to 7:30. It only takes us about 4 to 5 minutes to do the resolution. Why
should we have to wait until 7:30? So, uh, with the board's permission, we'll change that and have everything going at 7:30. >> I put out there tonight. >> Yep. Yeah, sounds good. >> Mhm. >> Everyone approves of that that we're

that anyone wants to talk about? >> Which one? last 150 was allowed. He's doing 720. >> I don't know. I didn't ask him. >> Well, there's some I can answer some of that. There's some history to that. It
was I don't think there was a limit on the garages in the past and then a couple garages that were really large kind of snuck past. So as a as kind of a safety device they put 150 square ft. So
almost all the garages have to come before us so that they can be checked for other things too. Height and I am Jay do you kind of concur with that? >> Exactly correct. There was you had garages built that had second stories. They were being used for offices. There were a lot of problems. So the board
decided that you wanted to make a a small requirement of 150 ft. So basically anybody that wants to build a garage comes before you so you can put restrictions on it. Make sure it's not being used for apartments. Make sure it's not being used for commercial uses. It doesn't have water and sewer, things like that. I think this particular
applicant mentioned he's got classic cars and motorcycles. >> Well, he said one classic car and a motorcycle. >> I think that was his reason for a twocar was because of that. >> A small boat also on the bottom. I I went down I went down and looked at his
uh property and he really has a lot of property there. He could probably fit about 10 boats down there. >> Yes. >> Is there anything else to come before the board next meeting? >> No, we'd like to welcome Mitchell.
>> You're not going to be here. >> Oh, want to talk better or not? Did I mention one thing? >> Yes. >> Are we going to get these in digital form? The packet
together in digital or >> I'm got to talk to Nicole. >> Okay. >> She her and I discussed it and we're gonna Okay. Yeah. >> Anything else to come before the board?
Hearing nothing, I'll make a motion for adjournment. So move >> meetings adjourned. Great.
