PUBLIC NOTICE
LONG BEACH TOWNSHIP
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that Kenneth Possenriede and Jennifer Possenriede (collectively, the "Applicant") have made application to the Long Beach Township Land Use Board (the "Board") for bulk variances relative to proposed development at the property designated as Lot 5 in Block 20.151 on the Tax Map of the Township of Long Beach, located at 151D Long Beach Boulevard in the Loveladies Section of Long Beach Township. The property is currently developed with a single-family dwelling, which contains an elevator on the westerly side of the dwelling. The existing elevator does not access the roof deck, and the Applicant is seeking to extend the existing elevator tower higher, in order to provide access to the roof deck via the elevator. The Applicant is also removing a set of stairs on the easterly side of the home. The following variances from the Long Beach Township Zoning Ordinance are requested:
Section 205-10(A): The maximum permitted height of the dwelling is 34 feet. The existing height of the home is 30.6 feet. The height of the proposed expanded elevator tower is 37.3 feet. The height of the remainder of the home will remain unchanged. It is noteworthy that under Section 205-10(F)(6)(b) of the Ordinance, a residential structure is permitted to have an elevator tower that exceeds the height limit of the applicable zone by not more than 8 feet, provided that the elevator tower which exceeds the maximum permitted height limitation is located no less than 10 feet from all exterior walls of the building in which it is located, and no less than 15 feet from the exterior front wall of such building. Here, the proposed elevator shaft is only 3.3 feet above the permitted height of 34 feet, but is located along an exterior wall of the structure, thereby requiring a height variance.
Section 205-51(B)(6): All buildings, including accessory buildings, shall not cover more than 25% of the lot. The existing lot coverage is 27.7%; the proposed building coverage is 26.8%.
Although the Applicant believes that no additional variances, waivers or exceptions are required, any additional variances, waivers or exceptions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Board will be requested at the public hearing.
This matter is on the Clerk's Docket and a hearing has been ordered for January 14, 2026 at 6:30 PM in the Administration Building, First Floor Court Room, 6805 Long Beach Boulevard, Brant Beach, NJ, at which time persons interested may appear personally or by agent or attorney with a properly authorized power of attorney. Please note that this is an in-person meeting only. There will be no virtual component.
Should the meeting format change, the Township website will be updated with necessary information up to and including the date of the meeting. You will not receive notice of a meeting format change. It is up to you to check the Township website or call the Township (609-361-6653) during normal business hours on the day of the hearing for any change from in person to virtual meeting.
Documents are available for inspection at the Land Use Board Office, 6805 Long Beach Boulevard, Brant Beach, New Jersey during normal business hours Monday through Thursday 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
