The Kenilworth Planning Board approved several routine and substantive items at its meeting, including minutes from the Oct. 27, 2025 session, adoption of Resolution 24-006 related to a single-family house variance, and final approval of a major site plan for the NEST 15 building at 2000 Galloping Hill Road.

Minutes approval: The board approved the Oct. 27, 2025 meeting minutes following a motion by Mister Clemente and a second by Mister Grimaldi.

Resolution 24-006 (Papillisi): The board approved Resolution 24-006 tied to an applicant (Francesco Papillisi, 222 North 19th Street) who had previously sought variance relief to convert an existing garage into a bedroom with a walk-in bath; the board had earlier granted a front-yard setback variance (transcript cites an approximately 7-inch deficiency). Mister Rago summarized that the board required the driveway to be widened to safely accommodate three motor vehicles and indicated that a certificate of occupancy for the extra bedroom would not be issued until that condition was met; the board set a six-month timeline for compliance. A motion to approve the resolution was recorded and the chair announced the resolution passed.

Other business and adjournment: The board addressed exhibit handling and exchanged holiday greetings; the meeting was opened and closed for public comment with no speakers, and the board adjourned on a motion by Mister Grimaldi. No public opposition or additional conditions beyond those described in consultant and professional letters were recorded in the transcript.
