PLEASE TAKE NOTICE the Applicants, Glenn R. Johnson and Phyllis A. Johnson ("Johnson"), are seeking any and all variances, exceptions, and waivers necessary, appropriate, or required in order to obtain Variances and Minor Subdivision Approval for the purposes set forth in the Application and Addendum. Specifically, Applicants intend to subdivide the Property into two (2) separate lots as follows: (i) Proposed Lot 42.03 which will contain Applicants' current residence and fronts on North Main Street; and (ii) Proposed Lot 42.04 which currently contains a garage and fronts on Bunker Hill Road. The Property is located at 77 North Main Street, and designated as Block 23, Lot 42.01 on the Cranbury Township Tax Map ("Property"). The Property is currently zoned Village Commercial ("VC"). This Application, as proposed, requires the issuance of the following Variances and/or waivers: 1. Garage located on Proposed Lot 42.04, Bunker Hill Lot. If subdivision approval is granted, the garage will become non-conforming given that accessory buildings are only allowed in the VC Zone if they are located on the same lot as the main building. 2. Off-street parking for Proposed Lot 42.03, Main Street Lot. If subdivision approval is granted, the Applicant's residence will not have any off-street parking as the current driveway and garage for Applicant's residence fronts on Bunker Hill Road and will become part of Proposed Lot 42.04. 3. Off-street parking for Proposed Lot 42.04, Bunker Hill Lot. If subdivision approval is granted and a four (4) bedroom home is built on Proposed 42.04, 2.5 off-street parking spaces will be required whereas (2) will be provided in the driveway for that home. 4. There are three (3) pre-existing non-conformities on current Lot 42.01: A. Front Yard Setback (Existing): Section 105-191(c)(3) provides that the Front Yard Setback shall be the lesser of 45 feet or the average setback of the existing buildings on the same side of the street within 200 feet of each side of the lot, provided that no building shall be erected closer than 15 feet to the street line. In this location, the average existing building setback is three (3) feet and the existing residence facing North Main Street has a front yard setback of 2.2 feet. The new lot fronting on North Main Street (Proposed Lot 42.03) will contain the same non-conformities and a variance is requested. B. Side Yard Setback (Existing): Section 105-191(c)(5) provides that the Side Yard Setback shall be a minimum of 12 feet for the combined side yards; however, when a side lot in the VC Zone coincides with the boundary line of any residential zone, the minimum side yard requirement which is in effect in such adjacent zone shall apply. The current lot has a side yard setback on the north side of .8" and a side yard setback on the south side of 5.3'. The new lot fronting on North Main Street (Proposed Lot 42.03) will contain the same non-conformities and a variance is requested. C. Breezeway Variance (Existing): The lot fronting North Main Street (Proposed Lot 42.03) currently contains the Applicant's principal residence as well as a commercial building which is connected to the main residence by an enclosed breezeway. The new lot fronting on North Main Street (Proposed Lot 42.03) will contain the same non-conformity. Section 150-19D(1) currently prohibits two (2) principal buildings on a single lot from being closer than 20' to one another, and prohibits same from being connected by an atrium or enclosed breezeways or similar structures. Applicant is requesting a d(2) variance given that the enclosed breezeway has been in existence for at least eighty (80) years and is considered a pre-existing non-conforming condition, or a "grandfathered" use. As part of this Application, Applicants are also seeking any and all waivers, variances and/or exceptions to the standards or regulations under the Land Development Ordinance for the Township of Cranbury which the Board may deem necessary or as might be identified during the course of the public hearing so as to permit Applicants to develop and use the property as proposed in the Applicants' Application, Addendum, and all supporting documents. Finally, Applicants are seeking waivers, variances, and/or exceptions under the Land Use Ordinance for the Township of Cranbury for all conditions currently existing at the Property which do not conform. All documents relating to this Application are on file in the office of the Cranbury Township Zoning Board and are available for public inspection at least ten (10) days prior to the date of the hearing, Monday –Friday between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Any interested party may appear either in person, or by agent or attorney, at said hearing to present any comments or objections concerning the application and participate therein all in accordance with the Township rules and regulations.
