The Property and structures are/were preexisting nonconforming as to: lot width; lot frontage; dwelling side yard (north) setback; dwelling combined side yard setback; and, garage side yard (south) setback.   Applicant previously received zoning and building permit approval to renovate, reconstruct, and construct additions to the previously existing dwelling including: new second-floor addition over footprint of dwelling’s existing first-floor; construction of 2-story addition in front with covered porch and steps; construction of 2-story addition in rear with patio and steps; and, chimney. Applicant was further approved to remove a previously existing, nonconforming shed and related site improvements. During the course of construction more than 50% of the original pre-existing structure was demolished, resulting in a stop work order which requires variance approvals in order to recommence work. The resultant structure will be in the same footprint as previously approved and will appear identical to exterior. The difference will be new construction of portions of the building that were supposed to remain. In conjunction with the application, Applicant seeks bulk variance relief pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70.c as follows:   • Lot width of 64.6 feet, whereas a minimum of 100 feet is required and 64.6 feet exists. • Lot frontage of 73.3 feet, whereas a minimum of 100 feet is required and 73.3 feet exists. • Dwelling side yard (north) setback of 3.7 feet, whereas a minimum of 10 feet is required and 3.7 feet previously existed to the first floor. • Dwelling combined side yard setback of 18 feet, whereas a minimum of 25 feet is required and 18 feet previously existed to the first floor.   Applicant also expressly makes application for any additional exceptions, waivers, variances, interpretations 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 during the review and processing of the application.   PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that you are invited to attend this virtual/remote public hearing either by web conference or telephone as outlined above to present any and all comments you may have to the granting of said approvals. The hearing 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 in the office of the Board located at 25 Neptune Boulevard, Neptune, New Jersey and are available for inspection as outlined above.   ANSELL GRIMM & AARON, P.C.
