During a recent government meeting, the Board addressed several applications for property modifications, focusing on compliance with zoning regulations and variances.

The first case involved a property owner who clarified their status as an owner rather than a contract vendee. The discussion centered on a proposed single-family dwelling, which was initially presented as a one-story structure. However, Board members noted that due to the finished floor elevation being significantly above the average grade, the building would effectively be classified as a two-story high ranch. The Board emphasized the importance of accurately representing the structure in the application to avoid complications.

In another case, applicants Samantha and George Scopalaitis sought permission for an in-ground swimming pool located less than the required distance from overhead electric wires. The Board confirmed that a hot stick test had been conducted, ensuring safety compliance. The application was approved without further objections.

Alexandra and Vincent Colletti requested variances for an existing shed and a roof over a deck. The structures, built by a previous owner, required a rear yard variance due to their proximity to property lines. The Board found the requested variances to be minimal and granted approval, noting the absence of complaints from neighboring properties.

Emily Sarah and Keith John Zeller proposed a second-story addition to their residence on a 50-foot lot. The addition exceeded the square footage typically allowed under the small lot ordinance. However, the Board acknowledged that the house predated current regulations and agreed to grant the application with a covenant to prevent future expansions.

The meeting concluded with the Board approving all applications presented, reflecting a commitment to balancing property rights with zoning regulations.
