And Mr. Bell, are you leading it off? >> Yes. Floor is yours, sir. >> Thank you very much. Good evening. We're looking for a variet. The first and foremost deal with
Secondly, in my opinion, very difficult to work on a corner lot because of those two setbacks. And then lastly, I would say about 90% of the existing very difficult to do anything
without first and foremost as I mentioned we're doing so the addition itself to the left but again it is secondly uh because even though I should
say we have very lot we are still okay with building a very you know, make the lot. So basically we believe we're looking for asking for
very addition that would allow the homeowners to get home and I don't think the building in a nutshell is the city first There goes another one that's on the property.
This is >> pretty simple. And as a result, back with the exception of the deck Nothing is being exacerbated, is it? >> Except by virtue of the fact that the building itself is bigger because it's
smaller. So it's a technical exacerbation, not in fact a functional one. >> That's pretty much what I got. >> Questions from the board? >> Sure. Um, any question? Sorry. Any
questions from the board? end up basically just >> comraight. question. >> Um, just the the the deck it says pergola. Is that nothing more than a trellis open to the atmosphere?
>> Got you. Yeah, it's not covered. >> That's all I have. >> Stand cliff. No questions. >> Good. >> All right. Do we have any questions from the audience? >> No questions from the audience.

You find his opinions helpful. You are absolutely entitled to accept them. If for some reason your your understanding of the situation differs, you are not bound to accept. Mr. Thank you.
They're the elders and occupants of 11 street on your tax map as block 720.2 lot. It was a single family home on the property. The property has one nonconformity and that is the small existing structure is
has a setback of 6.5 that's on the side of the property for a family room something that's not in today's world for a home but it'll be on the other side of the house so it
doesn't exacerbate the nonforming that exists now of the 6.5 required. However, by virtue of what the proposing the addition will have a side of 12.4
greater than 10 when we add them together, we don't have the 25 ft that is required under your code for combined side. As you hear from our witness, we have a setback that will be less than 25
ft and then expands out because to this is that there is a skewed lot. So on the basis of lot it's recognized that under NJSA5 shape or size of a property. So in this
instance the unusual condition is that property. testimony this evening from our architect that if that line was perpendicular we would not be this interesting part just
it's a one story it is set back further across the front so you don't have that street looking at a house and seeing the whole house right at that front yard set it steps
back also is that your coverage is at 22.5% 40% per show at a onetory position. With that said, I hope you look at the exhibit that's up
there. >> I have a question for you. >> Excuse me. I understand. Are there any detriment to this application? I would say it's within the character of the
neighborhood. It's not over. >> Thank you. >> So again, this is to you. Excuse me. Could you use the microphone, please? Because we have to have it. You're recording. >> Thank you.
Set back, which again is an existing not being exacerbated. We're also requesting The property is 9,534. So in terms of the proposed project we are adding right?
I would love to do the house. We intentionally did that to be as respectful as possible. as well. So if you have
also of this size. >> So the setback itself is required. Correct. on the bas 23.6 Correct. On the basis of this unusual conditions
from the board. Brian, you want to start? from the front of the house. >> Yes, it'll be able to give the impression like another question. Right. >> No questions.
>> I have no questions. >> I think it would have been helpful if we would saw that. I had no idea. >> Right. We only have the site plan. >> We only have a pictures. >> Oh, I'm sorry. >> I mean, like that's the whole picture,
right? Can you come before us again? >> No questions. Do you have any other people testify? >> Take final comments from the board. I'd also be in >> I'd be in favor. I mean without a basement or additional living space that
the application was really good. >> I'd also be in favor. >> Same here. >> I did a great room myself. Enjoy it. almost required an addition over the years.
>> Is there anyone in the audience that has a question for this applicant? There's no questions from the empty room. >> You have to do it for the record anyway. >> Can I have a second? >> Can we have a motion to approve this application? >> I make a motion we approve this
application. >> Ted first. Nice. Roll call, please. >> Mr. Yes. >> Mr. Sarah Polo. >> Yes. >> Mr. Barski. >> Yes. >> Mr. Walsh. >> Yes. >> Mr. Szo. >> Yes. >> Miss Lino.
>> Yes. >> Mr. Jack. >> Yes. >> Mr. Hartman. >> Yes. >> Thank you very much. >> Mr. Whitaker for your >> Okay. >> All right. Thank you.
>> You too. Sorry, your water bottle. >> You're welcome. >> Oh, thank you. >> I think he sent you and I both a copy. >> Do you need it? Do we have any old business to discuss?
>> Did everyone do their financial disclosure? >> New business. We don't. We already did screens extension. >> Is there any other new business that we have? >> Motion to adjourn. >> Yeah.
>> You mentioned that there was a third reason for seeking the varants. You said one was one was overriding the building inspector. >> I misread something. >> That's all. >> Is it possible to
resolution obligation resolution? building up% obligation. financial obligation. >> Correct. current assessment
assessment assessment now it's catching people by surprise bottom resolution first half is second half
and when you have to know the most explain. So I think this is something that might be included in your speech at the about
maybe that's 2% on the whole% difference and now it's all% >> housing assessment Joe, let me let me get this clear. In other words, um the people understand that if they put an addition on their
tax bill is going to be bigger than without the addition, right? >> Correct. On top of that, so yes, your tax assessment would be greater. So taxes per year is going to be greater, but on top of that, we get kicked in the pay% >> of the of the cost of the addition or
the difference in the the old assessment versus new assessment. >> Correct. The assessment on time fee. >> Well, yes. >> And that's New Jersey. >> When do they find out what the new assessment will be? >> So when they permit application, when
they give us one assessor of the job, she gives us a letter to assessment. So
2% tax department send you something like that >> and they refer to that legal requirement section. >> Well it's it states so that obligation
whether the statute is mentioned or not but I thought that maybe gently tell them and this way >> and reinforce it in the resolution as well. >> Correct. Because of times when people
are so what are you doing about it? >> I heard it so I thought back in suggestion your application. Uh you can give instructions in your
application that if the board approves your application, a resolution will be adopted at the next meeting. We put that in the town I represent. you basically don't have to attend the next meeting and then we put in there a 45day appeal
time after publication and then we recite the affordable housing so that people know it when they're filling out the application to avoid what happens here the building departments and the towns I represent u I heard about this years ago and it's
been a big problem and I've had it for my client I tell the clients but by the time thes to me. They've already got the contract, okay? They're excited about it. I put it in the letter. They probably they read it, but they forget about it. And then later when it's all
done and they're looking for a CL and think about it in the in a home in Franklin, you know, maybe they can afford it, but the number is huge. >> Okay. So, we have to line up with homeowners now all the things they're looking at. Franklin Lakes, for
instance, has a fee tree removal. >> Extraordinary up there. Their number per tree would give you a headache. I have somebody building a house and before they put a shovel in the ground, they got to spend $50,000 for the trees.
>> So, we tell everybody now ahead of time because the soft cost before you get to construction is crazy. Part of that, but that's the to do it is to put it right in the application so you don't have anybody say I didn't
know. >> Want to do me a favor? Shoot me a copy of your application. >> Yeah, I'll get that part. >> Thank you. I appreciate that for you. Yes. >> Thanks. >> Are you putting it in the resolutions as well as a reinforcement? >> I uh we put in the resolutions. I put it
uh it's subject to construction code affordable housing. It's required that type of thing. Yeah. I don't put any numbers or anything like that. >> No fees. They have to keep the escro account. >> Yeah.
>> So Joe, your application is before us. You don't need autos. >> Oh, absolutely. >> Second story house. lots on the west side of traffic, the two lots that are approved for
development, 17 or $19,000 each lot in that fee. >> 2% equals $17,000. >> They're vacant lots now. So there's new construction approved. >> So the entire value of the structure
>> friend I want to buy them. I said >> is the tax assessor letting people know in advance? >> No. >> Okay. They have to go and ask the tax. >> Okay. Because I got my I got my co in in January
12 years ago. >> Thank you. >> No time like the president. >> No, I was always in favor of letting the people know they can get an estimate from the tax assessor. They
would have to do that entirely on their own. used to be and I don't know if this was something that wasn't initially typically going a couple years back we only did that on brand new constructions
and lo and behold it also additions as well >> strictly additions >> but it's addition >> but it doesn't if you like reside your house and change your windows. That doesn't apply.
>> Not yet. >> Not yet. Not yet. >> The state wasn't happy with their little portion of the permit application. I mean people's money. >> So the town collects on behalf of the state.
>> Correct. Take your example a step further. It's $4,000 on that $200,000. >> It's a lot of money, but it shouldn't break $200,000 improvement. budget. >> Really? >> Thank you so much.
>> I appreciate it. >> A lot of sh out there now real estate the what they man they call the graduated tax that the buyer would have to pay and now it's
>> yes% it goes up but I think real estate the house cost 50 60 $80,000 some of the houses now the sales tax real estate And now this graduated tax,000
>> what else? >> Did you say sales tax on a real estate sale? >> Real estate real estate transfer taxdes. before he left. Had a lot of closings in July. What we did is so we could
get a good idea. Yeah. So, in theory, at least they'll get it twice. They'll get it from their office and they'll get it >> from us. I mean, it's a heads up. >> Anything else?
>> Any other good news? So many things seem like a good idea at the time. >> Somehow the details get screwed up. >> Motion to adjurnn. >> Make a motion to adjourn. Ted first
>> Rich
