Speaker 4 00:02:01 So we are looking to install a fence in our backyard and the side yards of, of the property of, of our home. There's a easement municipal easement in the backyard of, of 20. So unfortunately it's in, in the middle of our property. So we can't, we, we have to put the fence over it. That's why we needed a variance for, for the fine fence installation. Speaker 3 00:02:27 And do you understand that if the municipality ever needs access to that easement, it would be your responsibility to remove that fence and replace it at your own cost? Speaker 4 00:02:36 Absolutely. Yes I do. Speaker 3 00:02:38 Okay. That's all I have Mr. Chairman. Speaker 2 00:02:40 Okay. No other points as well. Speaker 5 00:02:44 No, everything else is all this technicality stuff. There's a, a right of way in the back of the property. That's paper street. So it's considered a front yard, but I don't see that. I don't foresee that paper treat ever being, so I don't have any issue with the defense being against it. Speaker 2 00:03:03 Okay. Any other members of the board have any questions for this applicant hearing? None. I'm gonna open it to the public. Anyone in the public have any questions or comments about this application? Ms. Buckley? Speaker 1 00:03:16 No one Chairman. Speaker 2 00:03:17 Okay. Close the public portion. I make a motion to approve this application Speaker 1 00:03:21 On a second.

Good. Let's move on. Item number 6 22 Speaker 3 00:04:07 Is Mr. Dacey present? Speaker 6 00:04:09 Yes. Speaker 3 00:04:10 Mr. Dacey. You were sworn in at the last hearing? Speaker 6 00:04:14 Yes. Speaker 3 00:04:15 Okay. You remain sworn in. Tell the truth. Speaker 6 00:04:17 Yep. Speaker 3 00:04:19 Okay. Please proceed. Speaker 6 00:04:22 I spoke to Henry after the last meeting and we decided to go on with the 18 by 30 instead of the, the bigger one. And Speaker 3 00:04:33 Originally you were 18 by 34. Now you're proposing 18 by 30. Speaker 6 00:04:37 Yes. Speaker 2 00:04:40 Henry. Any other comments? Speaker 5 00:04:42 You're also relocating it. So that it's six, the side Speaker 6 00:04:46 Six getting rid of the threes. There is existing on the one Speaker 5 00:04:56 Side's yeah, I, I don't see it again. He's the applicants cooperated and tried to revise the plan in a manner that I think is beneficial to the, to the neighboring properties. And I don't see, I think that it could be looked upon favorably with the revised size of 18 by 30 and being six feet off of the side property line. He, the rear setback is gonna conform to the minimum of eight feet. So I don't see really any issues. Awesome with the, with the application. Speaker 2 00:05:25 Okay. Any other members of the board have any questions, Speaker 3 00:05:28 Mr. Chairman? Just to clarify, he's gonna be six feet off the side yard, property line. Mr. Henderson? Speaker 5 00:05:33 Yes. Speaker 3 00:05:35 Okay. And does defense satisfy your request for buffering or landscaping? Speaker 5 00:05:41 Yes. Cause he's only two feet off of the requirement with the existing six foot fence on the property line. I feel that'll be sufficient. Speaker 3 00:05:49 Thank you. That's all I have Mr. Chairman. Speaker 2 00:05:51 Okay. Any other members of the board of any questions or comments hearing now I'm gonna open it to the public.

All those in favor. Speaker 7 00:09:30 Aye. Speaker 2 00:09:32 Any opposed? Okay. I guess twelve's got away Speaker 1 00:09:36 All he's he's on now. Mr. Kumar, Speaker 3 00:09:40 Mr. Kumar, are you present? Mr. Kumar? Can you hear me? Speaker 7 00:09:45 Yes, I can hear. Speaker 3 00:09:48 I believe you were sworn in at the last hearing. Speaker 7 00:09:51 Yes. My name is Raj Kumar and my address is 507 Newham road, New Jersey. Speaker 3 00:09:58 Thank you. You remain sworn to tell the truth. Yes. As I recall, you had submitted a revised plan just before the last hearing. Speaker 7 00:10:07 Yes. Speaker 3 00:10:09 Mr. Chairman, perhaps you can ask Mr. Hinterstein about that revised plan. Speaker 2 00:10:12 Yes, Henry, please elaborate. Speaker 5 00:10:16 Yeah. As we're revised, it appears that the remaining covered portion of the back patio area brings the overall coverage to 22.6, 6% where 20% is allowed. I don't see any issues. I think it's, again, that area contained the patio and the, the cover prior to this addition, that being said, I, I don't think it's a substantial overage on the coverage. It's less than 3%, which is usually about the threshold we look at. My only other comment would be is that the applicant realized that the home is to be used as a single family home. Only that they covered patio area should remain open. So there could be no conversion of the covered patio area without returning to the zoning board of adjustment. Speaker 7 00:11:14 Yes. Speaker 2 00:11:16 You okay with that? Mr. Kamar? Speaker 7 00:11:17 Yes. It'll remain open. Yes. The will remain open as its. Speaker 2 00:11:22 Okay. Any other, any questions? Any other members of the board? Have any questions? Comments, hearing none. I'm gonna open it to the public. Anyone in the public have any questions or comments about this application? Okay. Hearing none. I'm going to make a motion to approve this application. Speaker 7 00:11:40 I'll second. Speaker 2 00:11:41 Please call roll. Speaker 1 00:11:43 Mr. Tillery. Yes. Mr. Patel. Yes.
