Application #10-05 David Donus, 1019 Ringwood Ave., Block 408 Lot 13 Site Plan, Use Variance & Bulk Variance:

Atty. John Barbarula came forward along with Eng. Gerald Gardner. Atty. Barbarula said there are revised architectures dated February 9, 2006, and Eng. Gardner’s revised plans are dated February 15, 2006. There are water & sewer letters that were not sent to the Board Secretary. Atty. Barbarula will make sure the secretary receives copies of these letters. The sewer letter was sent by Eng. W. J. Kelly dated February 23, 2006 and the water letter was sent by George Kostro, Water Supervisor dated February 15, 2006. These letters state that there is water and sewer available to the site. Atty. Barbarula asked the Board Secretary if the Fire Department has responded to the Board’s request as to their concerns, if any, with regard to the site and the Board Secretary said no. Atty. Barbarula asked Eng. Gardner if he had the opportunity to review Eng. Gregor’s letter dated February 28, 2006. Eng. Gardner said Eng. Gregor is still looking for additional detail along the northern property line he wants a little better detail about the fence, poles etc. in one location (item #5), and the other issue is the drainage (item #7). Some of the detail for the drainage has to be discussed and there is a question about whether this is a major development and must they provide water quality? Eng. Gardner said with regard to paving a ¼ of an acre or more and disturbing an acre or more, he is doing neither. He’s paving 10,000 sq. ft. and the total disturbed area is ¾’s of an acre. Everything in Eng. Gregor’s report of February 28^th will be complied with. Eng. Gardner said there was a question about the elevation views matching the site plan and they do now. The parking information box on the drawing was not corrected when the drawing was corrected; there are eleven (11) stalls total ten (10) 9 X 20 and one (1) 16 X 20. Eng. Gardner mentioned moving the dumpster back so that you can park one emergency vehicle alongside of the building. Atty. Faasse asked if the architectures match the site plan and Eng. Gregor said yes they do. Eng. Gregor added they will need a bump-out at the southeasterly most corner of the parking lot because one vehicle requires a bump-out to get out of the spot.

Chairman Dunning asked how far down do they have to blast into the rock for the basement? Eng. Gardner said, the first floor elevation of the lowest building is 111.5 and grade at that elevation is 104 and that is a seven-foot change right there. Eng. Gardner said it’s mostly in the back corners of the basements that they have to blast out. Chairman Dunning asked about the purpose of the basement and Mr. Donus said it is for storage so people have someplace to put stuff. Chairman Dunning asked if there was any outside access to the basement and Mr. Donus said no. Eng. Gregor said, maybe it would be to the Board’s advantage to ask the applicant if he would provide a cross section at some portion like the corner of Unit 3 to the walls so the Board can see the basement, the height of the walls, the height of the structure and approximately where the windows would be.

Eng. Gregor told Eng. Gardner, that on his Slope Map, he’s showing disturbance in areas that are beyond the 15% and would Eng. Gardner tabulate the areas that he’s disturbing for the various percentages. Eng. Gardner answered by saying he could do that. Eng. Gregor said the Board would have to consider a deviation from the ordinances for that matter. Atty. Faasse and Atty. Barbarula again mentioned the fact that the Fire Department did not get back to the Board with their concerns or comments. Atty. Barbarula said it’s not the applicant’s fault that the Fire Department didn’t file a report for this application. Member Covelli asked Eng. Gardner if he could raise the height of the sewer inlet into the basement and Eng. Gardner said absolutely. Eng. Gardner said he could raise three of the buildings but he can’t for the first building.

OPEN TO PUBLIC FOR QUESTIONS TO THE ENGINEER OR EXPERTS;

None/Closed

Atty. Barbarula summed up by saying the area of the grading variance is indicated on the plan and the only thing they don’t have is the actual square footage. Atty. Barbarula would ask that the variance be granted, should the Board be so inclined, as to what the plan is and they will submit the actual calculations. Member Covelli said what happens if the building has to be moved based upon the Fire Department’s comments. Atty. Barbarula said he has to come back anyhow, but his argument is he did everything humanly possible to get the Fire Department to do it and if one of your departments does not respond to you, you cannot hold that against an applicant. Atty. Barbarula said he would like to get the Use Variance now and he thinks there’s sufficient information before the Board showing where the Slope Variance would be and that its capable of being granted subject to a final calculation. If for some reason before the Resolution comes up and the Fire Department says these walls have to be move, then the applicant will have to come back on that.

Atty. Barbarula said this property is in the B Zone. This property if it had a business that maximum size of the business would create greater impervious coverage, greater traffic in and out and this is a very busy thoroughfare. The Planner explained, when you have a residential site, the trip generations that are based upon the number of people who live there, you have a much less intense use. This property is a very unique piece of property that is very large and the applicant is utilizing a very small percentage of it and leaves the majority of this property as open space. There is no negative impact with this proposal and will not adversely affect the people. The applicant has changed the nature of the building from a straight railroad building to an L shaped, excess parking and bigger spaces, moved and did everything the Board requested of the applicant to make it easier for the Fire Department, moved the dumpster back for greater access, and put more grass on the site. Atty. Barbarula thanked the Board for their time, and asked the Board to grant a Use Variance & Slope Variance.

MOTION TO GRANT THE TWO VARIANCES, THE USE & SLOPE VARIANCE; THE SLOPE VARIANCE ON THE CONDITION THAT IT MATCHES THE ELEVATIONS ON THE PLAN SUBJECT TO ENG. GREGOR’S REVIEW, CHANGES TO THE SITE PLAN AS PER TESTIMONY, THE SEWER LINES BE INSTALLED AS PER TESTIMONY, ADD ENTRY TO BASEMENTS, CROSS SECTION BE PROVIDED, IF & WHEN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT GETS BACK WITH THEIR REPORT AND THEY DEEM CHANGES TO BE NEEDED THE APPLICANT WILL HAVE TO COME BACK TO THE BOARD, ALL OUTSTANDING ITEMS IN ENG. GREGOR’S REPORT, AND NO POSSIBLE OTHER SUBDIVISIONS IN THE FUTURE TO THIS PROPERTY: made by Member Ludwig, seconded by Member Covelli, voting yes were Chairman Dunning, Members Grygus, Covelli, Hoffman, Ludwig, Leonard and Willse.

RECESSED AT 9:16 A.M.

RECONVENED AT 9:25 A.M.

Application #20-05 Steven M. & Rebecca Abma, 38 Furnace Ave., Block 220 Lot 7

Bulk Variance:

Attorney E. David Becker of Jeffer, Hopkinson &Vogel, came forward on behalf of his client. This is a continuance of the January 4^th Meeting. The applicants are looking to construct a detached garage. The applicants need a height variance 5 feet because they are exceeding the 15 feet permitted by ordinance. The neighbors had comments at the January Meeting and the applicant has made changes to his plan.

Atty. Becker said they reduced the height down to 20 feet and still requires a variance. The floor to ceiling height on the second floor is reduced to under 7’ 6”. The proposed bathroom has also been removed and will have a slop sink for clean-up purposes only. The location of the driveway has been changed. There was also some discrepancies about lot lines in the whole neighborhood and Mr. Abma had his surveyor come back to take another look and a new survey was submitted which enabled the applicant to move the driveway to the other side and this driveway will be paved as per ordinance. The new survey was done by DMC Associates Inc. dated February 16, 2006 marked Exhibit A-6. A new site plan also was submitted marked Exhibit A-7 from Gerald Gardner Associates dated February 14, 2006. Atty. Becker said there was an error in the zoning data, the total area change wasn’t shown on the site plan, and an error in coverage calculation but they are not over the coverage calculation; this was marked Exhibit A-8. Therefore, the only variance is the height variance. A new Architectural Elevation Plan was submitted and marked Exhibit A-9 that shows the reduced height as well as taking the bathroom out and the elevation inside the second floor of a reduced floor to ceiling height. Also submitted were the run-off calculations marked Exhibit A-10. The footprint of the garage has not been changed only the height has been reduced.

Eng. Gregor said one of the things that isn’t shown on the site plan was dimensions for the existing dwelling. Eng. Gregor would like to have those dimensions so he can check the coverage.

Robert Cigol, N.J. Licensed Land Surveyor, License #40261, 211 Main St., Butler, N.J. came forward. Mr. Cigol testified he’s been a surveyor for 23 years in the State of N.J. and licensed with the state since 1995, principal owner of DMC Associates and is a 16 member firm in Butler, N.J. Mr. Cigol has testified before this Board on previous occasions, also Jersey City, Newark, Paterson, Kinnelon and Butler.

Mr. Cigol was retained by Mr. Abma back in June 2005 when he purchased the property, to prepare a Title Survey for his closing. A few months later Mr. Abma called Mr. Cigol and indicated that there was a concern with the neighbors and position of the boundary lines. Mr. Boyce McGeoch, Licensed Land Surveyor from Ringwood contacted Mr. Cigol to say he was preparing a survey for an adjoining neighbor behind Mr. Abma and he also is coming across with some discrepancies between the properties. Mr. Cigol and Mr. McGeoch took it upon themselves to conduct a thorough survey of the entire block. At this point, Mr. Cigol passed out copies of a survey exhibit which would demonstrate his findings of the entire block.

Mr. Cigol said, Lot 7 has areas of confusion with overlaps of the Cisco’s property which is Lot 1.02, and also Lot 1 has overlaps, also owned by Mr. Cisco. Apparently the Cisco’s deed comes off of Stephens Avenue and Abma’s comes off of Furnace Avenue. When this happens, both deeds have a certain angular measurement off the right-of-way line and when this happens and they plot their deed and the property owner plots theirs, they overlap each other. It’s not a very large piece of land and Mr. Abma is not willing to argue over it, so at this point in time they are going to honor Mr. Cisco’s deed and not take it into litigation. Both property owners have a right to claim the land because both deeds are overlapping one another, but for harmony sake it’s not an issue.

OPEN TO PUBLIC:

Joseph Cisco owner Block 220 of Lot 1 & Co-Owner of 1.02 came forward. Mr. Cisco asked about the side lot where the concrete wall is he wanted to know if that was his property and Mr. Cigol said yes it was all the way through. Mr. Cisco wanted to know if the plans presented tonight were available to the public. Mr. Cisco was told the survey was on file since February 17^th .

CLOSE TO PUBLIC:

Mr. Abma came forward and told the Board they decided to put the driveway back in the original location because of the results of the survey and by doing this they will be saving some trees. Mr. Abma said he intended on paving the driveway. Mr. Abma said he heard the concerns of the neighbors and the Board and the original proposal fit his needs and fit them well. Mr. Abma has compromised the height by bringing it down without compromising the actual structure. With the new plan, at the 20 ft. height, is as far as he can go without changing some of the pitches of the roof and allowing it to look presentable. As far as the bathroom, he has deleted that because of the concerns turning this into an apartment, which is not their intent. The garage has a man door but they removed the walls around the stairs and turned the stairs into drop-down stairs that discourages the use of the upper part to become habitable space. The ceiling height on the second floor before was basically a square room from corner to corner and they have brought the height of the roof down which now has given them slope on both sides into the storage area which is taking storage area away. The ceiling height has been brought down to 7’4” which is below what the International Building Code Section 1207 on Interior Space Dimensions Sub-Section 1207.2 it states “occupyable spaces, habitable spaces and corridors shall have a ceiling height of not less than 7’6”.

Member Grygus asked Eng. Gregor if your looking at the garage from the front right hand side or the east bay, could you maneuver a vehicle out of there and get onto Furnace Ave. without having to back all the way down the driveway? Eng. Gregor said not without making a multiple point turn. Mr. Abma was just informed, if you’re on a County road you have to have the means to turn around and pull out versus backing out.

Chairman Dunning asked about the drainage calculations and Eng. Gregor said to look at Item 9 in his report dated February 28, 2006 which stated: “A storm water management plan has been provided as requested. However, no test pits have been shown and no permeability data has been provided to support the drainage calculations provided”. Eng. Gregor said, right now the drainage calculations are not acceptable. Eng. Gregor told the Board we do have revised plans, however, there’s no revision date on them, so be careful at which plans you’re looking at. Chairman Dunning said the second page has the revision date but not the first. Chairman Dunning asked Mr. Abma about the area surrounding the garage on the other three sides that aren’t paved as far as the basic drainage there and what attempt is going to be made to keep the water on his property? Mr. Abma responded by saying that on the original plan the elevation was at 98.25 and he added a foot to it to raise the grade up to 99.25 to try and even out the land in the back. Member Grygus asked Mr. Abma about only piping the front downspouts on the garage and Mr. Abma said he’s piping all the downspouts on the garage into the seepage pits and the house will be down-spouted into the front seepage pits. Eng. Gregor asked Mr. Abma to instruct his engineer to put a note on the drawing with regard to the garage and house downspouts. Eng. Gregor said he noticed the applicant changed the access door from one side of the garage to the other. Mr. Abma said originally, the garage was coming up on the right side and one of the Board members mentioned the tree that was there, therefore, they move it to the left for two reasons; one was he shifted the driveway over to the left side and by doing that there is no interference with the tree.

OPEN TO PUBLIC:

Joe Cisco, Block 220 Lot 1 and co-owner of Lot 1.02 Fredericks Street came forward again and was concerned about Mr. Abma backing out of the driveway. Mr. Cisco also wanted to know if the plans were available for him to see if he wanted to and he was told they are on file with the Board Secretary.

Kathleen Botbyl, 20 Fredericks Street came forward. Ms. Botbyl said she and the other neighbors want the garage to be kept at a height of 15 feet because her house is only 18 feet and she feels the Abma’s would be able to look right down into her home.

Mr. Abma said with regard to Ms. Botbyl’s concerns, the west elevation is the side that looks at her house and actually what use to be a window is now a door on the second floor of the garage. Therefore, they will not be looking down at her home from a window because it is going to be a solid loading door.

Arlene Porter, 11 Fredericks Street came forward. Ms. Porter said she wants the garage kept at 15 ft. because that is the ordinance. Ms. Porter said when it rains, the whole area floods and the hole that Mr. Abma’s going to build will not hold all the rain. Ms. Porter feels that if Mr. Abma raises his property up the water will be going on everybody else’s property.

Eng. Gregor said, the design that he has to review and approve, should the Board act favorably on this application, is a design that will address the increase in run-off due to the structures put on site and will not address any pre-existing problems or changes in grade.

Member Grygus asked, is it safe to assume that what Mr. Abma is doing is not going to negatively increase any additional run-off in that area. Eng. Gregor said, not from his property.

Jim Jordan, 36 Furnace Avenue came forward. Mr. Jordan would like to see the garage kept at code of 15 feet and is concerned about living quarters and doesn’t think a 2” difference is going to keep someone from creating an illegal apartment. Mr. Jordan is also concerned about people backing out of the driveway.

Karen Cisco, 27 Fredericks Street came forward. Ms. Cisco asked if the garage structure is still going to be 30 feet wide and wanted to know how wide is the property? Ms. Cisco was told the garage will be 30 feet wide and the property is 48 ½ feet at the very back corner. Mr. Abma told Ms. Cisco the garage would be 10 feet off the back property line. Ms. Cisco is also concerned about the noise coming from the garage where Mr. Abma will be doing his carpentry work will keep her niece from going to sleep. Mr. Abma assured Ms. Cisco he would make sure he is done before the kids go to sleep. Ms. Cisco also mentioned the railroad tie wall is collapsing in the rear of the property. Ms. Cisco added that she doesn’t have a problem with a 15 ft. structure, but with a 20 ft. structure that is bigger than some of the neighbors’ houses she does have a problem with that.

Bob Ferdon, 34 Fredericks Street came forward. Mr. Ferdon said he understands the necessity for variances from time to time, but what he has a problem with is the percentage over the variances and when it gets to be excessive, as going from 15 feet to 20 feet. Mr. Ferdon said he heard pictures of his garage were shown at one of the meetings as an example of what is typical of the neighborhood. Mr. Ferdon said his garage was built in 1910 before there were any ordinances in place and nothing like that should be built in town again.

CLOSE PUBLIC PORTION:

Chairman Dunning told the people representing the Fennelly Application #21-05, that the Board has a 10:30 P.M. cut off time and the Board isn’t even finished with the present application. Therefore, the application will be carried to the April 5^th Meeting. The response was that they already granted an extension of time. Chairman Dunning asked Eng. Gregor if all his comments have been addressed for this application. Eng. Gregor said he has been having discussions with the applicant’s engineer regarding some of the issues and is still working on it. Chairman Dunning wanted to know about the location of the surrounding wells and Eng. Gregor said he made the engineer aware of that and would be prepared at the meeting with that information.

MOTION TO CARRY FENNELLY APPLICATION #21-05 TO THE APRIL 5^TH MEETING: made by Member Grygus, seconded by Ludwig, voting yes were Chairman Dunning, Members Grygus, Covelli, Hoffman, Ludwig, Leonard and Willse.

Atty. Faasse asked Mr. Theodore Di Laura, Application #15-05 to come forward. Atty. Faasse told Mr. Di Laura the Board would not be able to hear his application tonight. Atty. Faasse asked Mr. Di Laura if he had Eng. Gregor latest report and to make any changes that might be necessary and to have them on file more than 10 days before the next meeting.

The Board is now back on the Abma Application. Member Grygus asked Mr. Abma to elaborate a little on why he can’t bring the height down of the garage lower than 20 feet. Mr. Abma answered by saying you start getting into roof pitches, and when you start coming too far you have to start putting rolled roofs on and esthetically it will look a lot different and won’t look right.

MOTION TO APPROVE APPLICATION #20-05 STEVEN & REBECCA ABMA FOR A VARIANCE FOR AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE WITH A HEIGHT OF 20 FT. INSTEAD OF MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF 15 FT. BY ORDINANCE FOR A VARIANCE OF 5 FT., CONDITION FOR THE RECORD THAT THE CALCULATIONS ON THE SEEPAGE PITS BOTH IN THE REAR AND THE FRONT WILL BE VERIFIED BY ENG. GREGOR AND THAT ENG.
