Board approves new two‑story dwelling at 318 Hosey Road despite one member’s call for more information
Summary
The Board recommended granting a C variance to Kamal Malik to construct a two‑story single‑family dwelling at 318 Hosey Road; one board member voted against the motion, citing incomplete information.
The Board of Adjustment voted to recommend granting a C variance for a new two‑story single‑family dwelling with a front porch and attached garage at 318 Hosey Road (Block 313, Lot 4). Applicant Kamal Malik and contractor/representative Nakul Kasadwala described plans for a 1,228-square-foot footprint and approximately 2,000–2,100 square feet of livable area.
Board members questioned topography, the front-yard setback measurement and stormwater management. The applicant’s team said a survey and topography had been completed by the project engineer and that final stormwater details would be submitted to the township engineering department after approval; the applicant agreed to follow engineering requirements. One board member explicitly said he would vote no because he believed not all information had been provided; other members voted to approve the application and the motion carried.
Why it matters: the board allowed a new single‑family dwelling on a substandard 40‑by‑100 lot; the applicant must follow engineering department stormwater requirements and confirm setbacks on construction documents.
Next steps: staff to prepare a resolution noting the applicant’s agreement to comply with the engineer’s recommendations; applicant to provide final engineering and to apply for permits after resolution adoption.
