Board approves 27 Kennedy Drive addition after finding extension does not increase rear encroachment
Summary
The Waldwick Zoning Board unanimously approved a 288‑square‑foot addition at 27 Kennedy Drive, finding the work extends existing nonconformity but does not worsen rear-yard setbacks; a written resolution and publication will follow.
The Waldwick Zoning Board unanimously approved a variance application for a 24‑by‑12‑foot (288 sq ft) addition at 27 Kennedy Drive after the applicant and board concluded the change extends an existing nonconformity rather than creating a new encroachment.
An applicant who identified himself as Michael (last name spelled in the record as S I V E R I A S) described the proposal as enlarging bedrooms and a bathroom without increasing the building height. He told the board the lot is 60 feet wide and roughly 10,080 square feet where 15,000 square feet is required in the R1 zone. Board members characterized the proposal as a technical exacerbation of the existing nonconformity but raised no substantive objections.
After brief questioning about dimensions and how the addition relates to established lot lines, a board member moved to approve and the motion passed unanimously. As with the earlier application, the chair explained that a written resolution will be prepared and published; the statutory 45‑day window for objections begins upon publication.
The board recorded no conditions in the hearing transcript; the written resolution will state final conditions, if any.
