NOTICE OF HEARING FOR DAVID & STACIE KENEFICK
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that David & Stacie Kenefick have made an application to the Stillwater Township Zoning Board of Adjustment for the property known as Block 2101 Lot 6 located at 905 Morningside Drive, Stillwater Township, Sussex County, New Jersey. The property is situated in the Township's "R-5" Zone District. The Applicants are seeking conditional use and bulk variance relief to expand their existing 1.5 story garage to increase storage area and to convert the upper level and a portion of the main level into an accessory apartment. The proposed addition to the garage will be 2,494.5 square feet, which would require bulk variance relief because only 1,000 square feet is permitted for the maximum square footage for an accessory building. Accessory apartments are allowed in the "R-5" zone as conditional uses as per Ordinance 240-114E. However, the Applicants cannot satisfy every condition. Specifically, the proposed apartment will not be included in the primary residence; the lot does not meet all of the area and dimension requirements for the zone; there will be no door connecting the apartment with the primary residence; and built-in appliances are proposed. The Applicants further request such variances, waivers, permits, approvals or licenses that are deemed necessary or appropriate upon review by the applicants or the Board.
This application is listed on the calendar before the Stillwater Township Zoning Board of Adjustment and an in-person public hearing has been set for March 23, 2026, at the Municipal Building, 964 Stillwater Road, Newton, New Jersey at 7:00 P.M. When the case is called, you may appear either in person or by attorney to present any evidence or make any comments, which you may have regarding the application. The matter will be heard on the above date or any adjourned date designated by the Zoning Board of Adjustment at this public meeting without additional notice.
The maps, plans, plats and application for which approval is being sought are on file with the Zoning Board of Adjustment Administrator and are available for inspection at the Municipal Building during normal business hours.
This notice is provided pursuant to the rules of procedure of the Stillwater Township Zoning Board of Adjustment. If you need further assistance, the Township's Board Secretary, Penny Bair, may be contacted at 973-383-9484 or via email at pbair@stillwatertwp.com.
