SWEARING IN Consulting Engineer, Frank Russo, was sworn under oath. RESOLUTIONS 1. ZB-12-17/Blake Approved 12/20/12 Block: 121; Lot: 45 132 High Street “C” variance for side yard setbacks for a deck DISCUSSION Ms. Beirne stated that a resolution condition for pre-approval of the application was to have Tom Tracy, the Township’s Construction Official, inspect the footings on the deck. She referred to Mr. Tracy’s letter advising the Board that required inspections will only be performed after the permit application has been reviewed, approved and issued. She said that because Mr. Buechler recommended this condition, and he is not here to advise her on how to re-word the resolution, it will be put off until the next Zoning Board meeting. 2. ZB-12-16/Bocchino Approved 12/20/12 Block: 168; Lot: 35; Zone: R-4 1464 Pleasant Valley Way Four “C” variances for construction of a two car garage Alice Beirne explained that at the last regular meeting on 12/20/12, the Board asked the applicant if he would consider moving the proposed garage further up in order to eliminate the rear set back variance that he requested. She said that the applicant agreed to do this and was required to re-submit plans ten days before this hearing. Ms. Beirne said that, according to the revised plans, moving the garage further up on the property created a front yard variance of 4’. She stated that this variance was not discussed on the record at the last meeting. Chairman Neuer asked Mr. Bocchino to approach. Michael Bocchino approached the podium and was sworn under oath. Chairman Neuer asked Mr. Bocchino if he wanted to amend the application and request the variance for the 4’ front yard setback; Mr. Bocchino said yes. Chairman Neuer accepted the amendment.
