PUBLIC NOTICE BOROUGH OF SURF CITY PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given that Kim A. Spinello and James Spinello (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 9, Qualifier C001F, in Block 74 on the Tax Map of the Borough of Surf City, located at 223 N. 11th Street, 1F. The property is currently developed with two separate single-family dwellings, with a two-story single-family dwelling located toward the front of the property, and a one and one half-story single-family dwelling located toward the rear of the property. The property has been converted to a two-unit condominium, with each of the dwellings representing one of the condominium units. In the RA Residential Zone, two dwelling units 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 5,000 square feet and frontage of 50 feet. The Applicant is seeking to slightly expand the area of the second story of the dwelling located toward the front of the property, with the result being that the footprint of the second story will essentially match the footprint of the first story. The total area of the expanded area on the second floor is 72 square feet. The height of the second story, and overall height of the dwelling, are also increasing slightly, with the new overall height of the dwelling being 21.82 feet. Due to the minor expansion of the front dwelling, 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 30-6.5(a)(1): the minimum required front yard setback is 10 feet. The existing front yard setback to the front dwelling is 8.1 feet; the proposed front yard setback is also 8.1 feet. Section 30-6.5(a)(2) requires side yards with minimum widths of five feet on one side of the main building and 10 feet on the other side. The existing westerly side yard setback to the front dwelling is 2.6 feet; the proposed westerly side yard setback to the front dwelling is also 2.6 feet. The following nonconforming conditions also exist at the property: The westerly side yard setback to the existing shed to the rear of the front dwelling is 2.6 feet where a minimum of 5 feet is required. The westerly side yard setback to the rear dwelling is 3 feet where a minimum of 5 feet is required. The easterly side yard setback to the shed adjacent to the rear dwelling unit is 1.2 feet where a minimum of 5 feet is required. The rear yard setback to the shed adjacent to the rear dwelling unit is 0 feet where a minimum of 5 feet is required. The rear yard setback to the existing dwelling unit at the rear of the property is 0 feet where minimum rear yard setback of 5 feet is required. 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.
