Board grants Mastersons’ variance to replace 20x20 garage with 24x24 at 100 Burnham Parkway
Summary
The Board of Adjustment approved a conditional variance allowing Matthew and Amy Masterson to replace an existing 20-by-20 garage with a 24-by-24 two-car garage that results in reduced rear and side yard setbacks; conditions include removal of a wood deck and shed and a prohibition on plumbing and separate living quarters in the new garage.
The Morris Township Board of Adjustment adopted a memorializing resolution granting variance relief to Matthew and Amy Masterson to replace an existing 20-by-20 garage with a new 24-by-24 two-car garage at 100 Burnham Parkway in the R-A-15 zone.
The resolution states the new garage will create a rear-yard setback of 5.2 feet where 25 feet is required, a side-yard setback of 1.4 feet where 20 feet is required (there was no existing side-yard), and a combined side-yard setback of 8.1 feet where 50 feet is required (6.7 feet currently exist). The approval was granted conditionally. The resolution requires removal of the existing wood deck and wood shed, prohibits installation of plumbing on the second floor of the garage and states the garage shall not be used as separate living quarters.
Board members asked no substantive questions and the board moved, seconded and approved the memorializing resolution by roll call; the clerk recorded affirmative votes by members present. The resolution memorializes the variances and the specific conditions the applicant must meet.
