Morris Township board memorializes approvals for two variance applications
Summary
On April 27 the Morris Township Board of Adjustment unanimously approved memorializing resolutions BA-26-25 (Howard Messer) and BA-27-25 (Glenn David) confirming prior conditional approvals with standard conditions; BA‑27‑25 includes a condition requiring applicant action in adjacent Morristown because the lot straddles both municipalities.
At their April 27, 2026 meeting the Morris Township Board of Adjustment adopted two memorializing resolutions confirming prior conditional approvals.
Resolution BA‑26‑25 concerns an application filed by Howard Messer seeking permission to modify a non‑conforming dwelling, including front‑yard setback relief and expansion of a non‑conforming structure. The board stated the application was "conditionally approved with our standard conditions;" no board questions were raised and the board approved the memorializing resolution on a roll‑call vote with all members present recorded as voting yes.
Resolution BA‑27‑25 relates to an application by Glenn David to modify an existing non‑conforming dwelling; the application sought relief for side‑yard, combined side‑yard and front‑yard setbacks and expansion of a non‑conforming structure. The resolution notes a condition that the applicant must obtain any necessary variance approval or waiver from the town of Morristown because the lot straddles both jurisdictions. That resolution was also approved unanimously on a roll‑call vote.
Board members commented that both matters were straightforward and that the memorializing resolutions would appear on the board's next meeting agenda for signature and finalization.
