The Applicant filed an application with the West Orange Board of Adjustment for a “C” Bulk Variance for a 350 square foot uncovered deck into the required rear yard setback. The subject property is located with the Township’s R- 3 AH zone, which requires a 30-foot rear yard setback. Under §25-8.2(A), an unroofed terrace may not project more than eight (8) feet into the required rear yard. The proposed deck would have a 14-foot setback from the rear yard, meaning the proposed deck encroaches 6 feet beyond the permissible encroachment. In preparation of this memorandum, the following documents were reviewed: 1. Township of West Orange Application Form for the Planning Board or Board of Adjustment, dated March 16, 2025. 2. Project Proposal. 3. Reasons for Relief. 4. Survey, prepared by Brunswick Surveying Incorporated, dated March 22, 2017 5. Survey with new open deck shown. 6. Illustrative drawings of deck detail. 7. Verification of Taxes & Sewer Charges Paid, dated February 24, 2025.
