IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION OF ELI D. DWECK, GERMAINE DWECK, AND DAVID E. DWECK FOR PREMISES KNOWN AS LOT 7 IN BLOCK 10 ON THE OFFICIAL TAX MAP OF THE VILLAGE OF LOCH ARBOUR
NOTICE OF HEARING
Pursuant to NJSA 40:55D-12
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Planning Board of the Village of Loch Arbour ("Board") will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, May 13, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. in the Village of Loch Arbour Municipal Building, 550 Main Street, Loch Arbour, New Jersey, to consider the application of Eli D. Dweck, Germaine Dweck, and David E. Dweck ("Applicants") for premises known as Lot 7 in Block 10 as shown on the Official Tax Map of the Village of Loch Arbour and located at 12 Norwood Avenue, Loch Arbour, New Jersey ("Property").
The Property, which is located in the Village's R Residential Zone, currently contains a 2 ½ story, single-family house with raised patio, asphalt driveway, and related site improvements. The Property and house are preexisting nonconforming as to lot width, side yard setback and possibly front yard setback. Applicants are seeking a Certificate of Appropriateness for: converting a portion of an existing enclosed porch (living space) into an open, covered front porch; construction of 1-story addition to the rear/right side of the existing house; replacement of the existing impervious asphalt driveway with a pervious paver driveway; renovation of the existing house including new exterior siding and roofing as well as windows, doors and related features; and, related site improvements.
In conjunction with the application, Applicants seek bulk variance relief pursuant to NJSA 40:55D-70.c. as follows:
Principal building coverage of 25.4%, whereas a maximum of 20% is permitted.
Side yard (north) setback of 3.33 feet to the new covered front porch, whereas a minimum of 5 feet is required and 3.33 feet exists to the house.
The Ordinance requires that front yard setback "shall not increase or decrease the pronounced uniformity of the street front alignment of the existing buildings and in the depths of the existing front yards. Said front yard required shall conform substantially with those provided for adjacent buildings." Applicant does not have the exact measurements of the front setback of the adjacent buildings. The proposed plan increases the front setback to the house from 20.1 feet existing, to 23.58 feet proposed. The front porch setback is increasing from approximately 14 feet existing to 20 feet proposed (exclusive of stairs). Based on the minor changes in favor of a greater front yard setback, it is Applicant's position that the changes will not increase or decrease the pronounced uniformity of the street front alignment and shall continue to conform substantially with those provided for adjacent buildings. (Emphasis added). To the extent the Board deems a variance is necessary, then Applicant shall seek one.
Applicants also expressly make application for any additional exceptions, interpretations, waivers, variances, and other approvals as reflected on the filed plans as same may be further amended from time to time without further notice and as may be determined to be necessary by the Board or its professionals during the review and processing of the application.
PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that you are privileged to be present at said public hearings to present any and all comments you may have to the granting of said approvals. The hearings may be continued without further notice on such additional or other dates as the Board may determine. The application and supporting documents are on file with the Board at the Municipal Building, 550 Main Street, Loch Arbour, New Jersey and are available for inspection during the Village's normal business hours.
