Summary The property is located at 12 Knollwood Drive, surrounded by existing single family homes and near the Rock Spring Golf Club, South Mountain Reservation, and Essex County Turtle Back Zoo. The applicant proposes to construct a new reading room and deck in the rear of an existing ranch style single family home with a two-car garage. The property’s existing rear yard setback does not conform to the R-4 bulk requirements. A bulk variance is required for a continuing encroachment into the required rear yard setback.
