July 17, 2025, Regular Meeting

BOARD QUESTIONS Chairperson Neuer asked if Mr. Baig was employed by Mr. Baig at time of the construction. Mr. Baig said no. R. Miller asked if all construction is sound. Mr. Baig said yes but that he has not visited the site in over a year. He has however, received confirmation from the client that it is okay. L. Cohen asked if the area was flattened. Mr. DeOliviera said that the previous had a slope and the yard would not have been able to be used in its previous condition. It might not be at a zero percent (0%) slope but flat enough to be workable. M. Dannemiller asked for how placement of this wall/fence combination compares to setbacks. Mr. Baig said that the location is the same, only the height is different and not aware of any violation. T. Ben-Zvi asked for confirmation that this application site was in distress a year ago. Mr. Baig said yes that he spoke to the applicant and he confirmed as such. T. Dubovy said that when visiting the application site, the retaining wall has a buldge in it and looks worn in his opinion an inspection should be done and provided to the Board. Chairperson Neuer said that it has been addressed and that it will be discussed further later on in the meeting. PROFESSIONALS QUESTIONS J. Hess questioned the accuracy of the survey as in his opinon no significant slope and Board considers them as “As Built Plans” and impose an inspection requirement to prevent deteriorization. Mr. Dell’ Italia said that he has no objection to this if the Board wants to have this as a condition of approval. E. DeLine referenced KSI Engineering C-01 (Revision Date- 12/5/2024) and asked about the height of both elevations. Mr. DeLine asked about familiarity of photos. Mr. Baig said yes and confirmed the current conditions of the yard. NO PUBLIC QUESTIONS NO PUBLIC COMME Break 9:19 PM — 9:30 PM Upon return from break, a quorum of Board Members are confirmed. Chairperson Neuer recognized Mr. Benjamin Wine of application ZB-22-13 MPB Realty (470 Eagle Rock Avenue) where he requested that the aforementioned application be carried with preservation of notice to the July 31, 2025, Special Meeting and upon confirmation from Chairperson Neuer, Mr. Wine confirmed the extension of the statutory time.

r. Wine confirmed the extension of the statutory time. Mr. Dell’Italia recalled for the sake of testimony, Mr. Jose DeOliveira, Applicant, who was sworn under oath to answer number 8 in Mr. Hess’ CME Review Letter 3 (Dated July 9, 2025), for fencing and reasoning for a safety feature for children. BOARD QUESTIONS: Chairperson Neuer referenced online for Vylla Home and quoted from the website and found it puzzling that he did not know that permits were required. Mr. DeOliviera said that he was unaware of the need for a permit since the wall was previously there so he did not think that it was needed. Chairperson Neuer asked what the period of time was before this work was done. Mr. DeOliviera said that it was approximately seven (7) years before this work was done.
