Board reorganizes, appoints consultants and approves several residential variance resolutions
Loading...
Summary
The board elected a chair and vice chair for 2026, confirmed legal, planning and engineering consultants, and approved a set of routine variance resolutions for individual homeowners, including a homeowner addition at Nichols Road; most motions carried on roll call with standard conditions.
The Morristown Board of Adjustment began its March 5 meeting by completing reorganization and professional appointments for 2026. Members elected Paul Woodford as board chair and Lee Goldberg as vice chair and approved resolutions appointing legal counsel, planning and engineering consultants and the board secretary.
After opening business, the board considered a series of residential variance resolutions. The board conditionally approved BA1625 (Edward Dwyer) for additions at 17 Springbrook Road; it granted Carl Hess a permit to install a 16-by-24-foot pergola at 529 Jockey Hollow Road; it approved Jerome Brumbyan addition at 32 Winmore Drive subject to correcting the zoning compliance chart; and it approved variances for Alex and Jacqueline Oelers (10 Barbary Road) to rebuild a garage and construct a second-story addition above the garage, conditioned on submission of a lot grading plan to the township engineer.
The board next heard a short application from Sean and Nicole Freeman for an addition at Nichols Road; the Freemans presented plans and photos, neighbors raised no objections, and the board voted to approve the application conditionally with standard conditions. The chair said a formal resolution will be prepared for the next meeting.
These votes were routine, and where roll-call votes were recorded the board announced the results (many motions carried by majority vote; a few abstentions were noted in the record).
