Resident granted small height variance for garage at Sayreville Zoning Board meeting
Summary
The Sayreville Zoning Board approved a variance allowing Salvatore Rento’s garage to exceed the 15-foot height limit after he told the board the structure measured about 16.5–17 feet; the board voted 6–1 to approve the request.
Salvatore Rento received approval from the Sayreville Zoning Board of Adjustment on Dec. 10 to allow his garage to exceed the borough’s 15-foot height limit.
Rento, who identified himself as the resident at 26 Adam Boulevard, told the board the garage’s foundation elevation led to a measured height of roughly 16.5 feet (the zoning officer’s statement noted 17 feet). He said he had previously been approved to build the structure but construction stopped when the height discrepancy was discovered.
Board members asked clarifying questions about the exact measurement and whether Rento sought relief only for the small overage. After the board opened and closed the public portion with no public speakers, a motion to approve the application passed on roll call: Mr. Green yes; Mr. Kazinski yes; Mr. Espazito yes; Mrs. Godstein yes; Mr. Castle Grant yes; Miss Cassandi no; Mr. Cooper yes. The chair announced the application as approved.
The board did not record additional conditions in the hearing aside from the variance approval; the chair closed the matter and moved on to the next agenda item.
The board scheduled preparation of the formal resolution for the following month’s meeting.
