Red Bank board approves deck and 3-foot walkway at 134 Leighton Avenue
Summary
On Nov. 20 the Red Bank Board of Adjustments adopted a resolution allowing construction of a deck and a 3-foot walkway at 134 Leighton Avenue, with conditions to protect parking, driveway, buffer plantings and to follow the board secretary's memo.
The Red Bank Board of Adjustments on Nov. 20 approved a resolution allowing construction of a deck and the installation of a 3-foot-wide walkway at 134 Leighton Avenue, board counsel said.
Board counsel introduced the resolution and outlined conditions the board required: the proposal must not compromise the functionality of any existing parking spaces; the existing driveway must remain in its current condition, shape and location; the existing buffer must be maintained with reasonable clearance for the sidewalk (trimming and pruning permitted); and no landscaping will be removed in connection with the proposal. Counsel also said the adopted resolution will be modified to note compliance with the board secretary's memo.
The board moved and voted to adopt the resolution as amended. Mr. Kennedy described the change as an addition to ensure the applicant obtains “all the necessary approvals” and to confirm compliance with staff recommendations. The vote to adopt the resolution was recorded in open session and the board concluded the item with the listed conditions in place.
The action finalizes approval for the deck and walkway subject to the conditions the board described; implementation details (building permits, inspection timing) were not specified in the public discussion. The board did not identify any outstanding appeals or litigation tied to this resolution during the public portion of the meeting.
The board proceeded to other agenda items after adopting the resolution.
