PUBLIC NOTICE BOROUGH OF SURF CITY PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given that Ruth Pecarsky, Leo Pecarsky, and Charlene Pecarsky (collectively, the "Applicant") have applied to the Land Use Board of the Borough of Surf City (the "Board"), Ocean County, New Jersey for bulk variances and a conditional use variance relative to proposed development at the property designated as Lot 8 in Block 37 on the Tax Map of the Borough of Surf City, located at 112 N. 16th Street. The property is currently developed with a two-story duplex. The Applicant is seeking to raise, relocate, and expand the existing duplex, construct a ground-floor garage/storage area, construct a two-story deck in the rear yard, and install a concrete block retaining wall. The existing detached garage will be removed. In the RA Residential Zone, two-family dwellings are permitted on a property so long as the property has a minimum area of 10,000 square feet and a minimum frontage of 100 feet. The subject property has an area of 4,000 square feet and frontage of 40 feet. Due to the proposed expansion of the home, a conditional use variance is required based upon the fact that the property does not meet the conditions required for the existing two-family use at the site. The Applicant also requests the following bulk variances from the Surf City Zoning Ordinance: Section 30-6.1: The minimum required lot area is 5,000 square feet. The existing and proposed lot area is 4,000 square feet, which is a preexisting nonconformity that is not changing. Section 30-6.1: The minimum required lot frontage is 50 feet. The existing and proposed lot frontage is 40 feet, which is a preexisting nonconformity that is not changing. Section 30-6.5(a)(2): The minimum required side yard setback to the alley is 10 feet. The proposed side yard setback to the alley is 4.33 feet. If the Board determines that any other variances, exceptions or waivers are necessary or appropriate at the hearing, then such variances, waivers or exceptions will be requested. A public hearing has been scheduled for January 28, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. at the Borough Hall Council Chambers located at 813 Long Beach Boulevard, Surf City, New Jersey, at which time any interested persons may appear and have an opportunity to be heard on this application. Documents pertaining to this application are available for inspection by the public during normal business hours, 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, in the office of the Clerk of the Board in the Surf City Borough Hall, located at 813 Long Beach Boulevard, Surf City, New Jersey.
