The Morris Township Board of Adjustment on Nov. 24, 2025 approved application VA‑16‑25, allowing renovations and a second‑story addition to the house at 2617 Springbrook Road that require relief from side‑yard and combined side‑yard setback requirements and expansion of a nonconforming structure.

Counsel confirmed notice and jurisdiction before the applicant’s architect described the project as a new foyer, powder room and an expanded master bedroom within the existing footprint. The applicant, who identified himself in the record as Ed McGuire while representing Mr. Dwyer, said the work would go to the front and rear and would not increase side‑yard encroachment. "I'm not going to the side," he said, noting the house was built in 1933 and is nonconforming under current zoning.

A nearby homeowner, William Davis, testified in support and told the board he had known the applicant for years and that the proposed work would not expand side‑yard intrusion. Board members asked about sightlines and windows; the applicant said windows were being relocated to avoid overlooking neighbors and that the existing screened porch would be enclosed and reconfigured.

With no public opposition, a board member moved to approve the application, a second was made, and roll call carried the motion. The board noted there were no impervious‑coverage issues and that materials will match the existing home.
