BOROUGH OF RIVERDALE PLANNING BOARD NOTICE TO BE PUBLISHED IN OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER APPLICATION #2025-10

BOROUGH OF RIVERDALE PLANNING BOARD NOTICE TO BE PUBLISHED IN OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER APPLICATION #2025-10 PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on Thursday, the 4th of December at 7:30pm a hearing will be held before the Riverdale Planning Board/Zoning Board of Adjustment on the appeal or application of the undersigned for relief from certain provisions of the Borough of Riverdale Zoning Ordinance. APPLICANTS: ANTHONY AND MELANIE MARINO PROPERTY: 29 GREENWICH STREET RIVERDALE, NJ 07457 BLOCK:14 LOT: 3 Project Summary: The subject property is situated in the R-7.5 zone with a conforming Lot Area of ±7,885 square feet, and a non-conforming Lot Frontage of 50.0 feet, where minimums of 7,500 square feet and 75 feet are required, respectively. Existing improvements include a 1.5-story two-family dwelling which conforms to the bulk requirements except the minimum required Front Yard and Left Side Yard. A Front Yard of 20.9 feet exists where a minimum of 30 feet is required and a Left Side Yard of 6.5 feet exists where a minimum of 10 feet is required. Other improvements include a detached garage, paved driveway and hardscaping. The existing garage has a footprint of 580 square feet which yields a non-conforming coverage of 7.4% where a maximum of 4% is allowed. No changes to the garage are proposed. The Applicant seeks approval from the Riverdale Planning Board to construct a second floor above the existing dwelling plus a cantilevered bedroom addition over the back patio. The cantilevered addition would be supported by columns and would have an area of 24'-5" by 11'-0". The new second floor addition and cantilevered addition require bulk setback variances to the Front Yard and Left Side Yard for the vertical expansion. A variance is also required to maintain a non-conforming Lot Frontage of 50 feet where a minimum of 75 feet is required. The proposed Front Yard and Left Side Yard setbacks would be no less than the existing conditions at 20.9 feet where a minimum of 30 feet is required, and 6.5 feet where a minimum of 10 feet is required, respectively. The proposed building coverage for the principal structure would remain conforming at 16.2% where 12.8% exists and a maximum of 20% is permitted. The building height and the building coverage would be substantially conforming, and no other variances appear to be necessary. In addition to the bulk variances, the Applicant requires a "special reasons" variance to expand a non- conforming use since two-family dwellings are not permitted in the R-7.5. The Applicant has indicated the existing two-family home is pre-existing. As such, a d.(3) variance is required for the expansion of a non-conforming use. The application and all relevant maps and papers are on file in the office of the Planning Secretary, and are available for inspection during normal business hours. Any interested party may appear at said hearing and participate therein accordance with the rules of the Planning Board. November 21 2025 LNYS0410800 $35.34
