Farmingdale homeowner agrees to cut back pool pavers and move fence after survey found encroachments
Summary
An applicant seeking to legalize a previously approved pool and related work on Daffodil Drive agreed to trim pavers along the side property line and to move a fence; the board amended the application to delete one variance and reserved decision on other paver setbacks pending clarification.
An expediter, Dean Koutsoubis, spoke for the homeowner at 39 Daffodil Drive in Farmingdale regarding pool and paver work that exceeded permitted coverage. He told the board the property includes a 15-foot perpetual easement behind the lot that the owner uses, and that the west property-line fence had been set two feet west of the true property line, leading to unintended nonconformities when the pool and pavers were installed.
Koutsoubis said the owner was willing to move the fence to the property line and cut back pavers two feet on the side where the fence sits incorrectly. He argued the rear yard includes an easement area that functions as extra private land and asked the board to permit the existing rear pavers; he also said drainage had been provided along the rear area. After discussion the board amended the application to delete one variance (the west-side patio variance) and unanimously approved that amendment; the board then closed the hearing and reserved decision on the remaining issues.
The planning memo dated Sept. 8, 2025 and the prior pool approval in Feb. 2024 are in the record; the applicant agreed to cut back pavers at the west side and said he would consider board direction on the rear pavers if required.
