Sayreville zoning board approves extension, shed and fence; several items memorialized
Summary
At its May 27 meeting the Sayreville Zoning Board approved a one‑year extension for 117 Scott Avenue, permitted a 10×12 backyard shed at Nimitz Place and approved a front‑driveway fence at 147 Madison Street; the board also approved a resolution for 16 Ridge Avenue and approved corrected minutes.
The Sayreville Zoning Board of Adjustment approved several routine items during its May 27 meeting.
One‑year extension for 117 Scott Avenue: Attorney David Himel told the board the applicant had addressed most conditions for the prior approval but needed time to post a performance guarantee and obtain final county approvals. The board granted the statutory one‑year extension on a roll‑call vote. The applicant estimated the bonding work could be completed in about 45 days; the extension runs from May 27, 2026, to May 27, 2027.
Accessory structure at 1 Nimitz Place: Paul Graham Jr. and Garfield Nembhard asked to place a 10‑by‑12 backyard shed roughly 2 feet from the rear property line because of an existing sprinkler system and limited yard space. Board members noted neighboring properties contain similar structures. The board approved the single setback variance and memorialized the approval for the next meeting.
Fence at 147 Madison Street: Owners Daryl Davis and Christina Figueroa Davis requested to remove a damaged fence and replace and extend it about 20 feet in the driveway portion of their lot; the board treated the proposal as a case judged on its unique lot configuration because the house sits unusually far back on the parcel. The application was approved by roll call and will be memorialized at the next meeting.
Resolution and minutes: The board approved the written resolution for 16 Ridge Avenue (case 2609) and approved corrected minutes for the April 22, 2026 meeting. The meeting adjourned following routine closing business.
Votes at a glance: 117 Scott Avenue extension — unanimous approval on roll call; Nimitz Place shed — unanimous approval; 147 Madison Street fence — unanimous approval; 16 Ridge Avenue resolution — approved and will be memorialized.
Members and staff asked applicants to follow up with the zoning office to complete memorialization and to submit required permits and posted guarantees before starting construction.
