Ross Township Zoning Hearing Board approves garage-size variance for 109 Logan Drive
Summary
At its Jan. 14 meeting the Ross Township Zoning Hearing Board unanimously approved a variance for Gregory S. Murgenovich of 109 Logan Drive to allow a metal garage, approving the applicant’s amended size request after he proposed options up to 700 square feet.
Ross Township’s Zoning Hearing Board unanimously approved a variance on Jan. 14 permitting a metal garage at 109 Logan Drive after the applicant amended his request to propose larger dimensions.
Gregory S. Murgenovich, the property owner at 109 Logan Drive (Parcel ID 349‑F‑251) in the township’s R‑1 district, asked the board for relief from §27‑906.6.D.(1)(d), the ordinance’s accessory-structure size limit, and for a one‑foot variance from the 14‑foot height restriction. Murgenovich described his plan and said he had spoken with neighbors, who expressed no objections; he also submitted photographs and said he would like to begin construction in spring.
Murgenovich originally stated he would permit a 540‑square‑foot metal garage but then told the board he would amend the plan to either a 20‑by‑32 (about 640 square feet) or a 20‑by‑35 (about 700 square feet) building. The board voted 4–0 on a motion to grant ZHB‑1‑26 as amended (motion by Philip Little; second by John Witherel). The motion as recorded in the meeting transcript contains both the 540‑square‑foot figure and language limiting the structure to "not to exceed 700 square feet." The board carried that motion unanimously.
The hearing record shows no members of the public spoke for or against the variance during the hearing. The board did not record additional conditions or an amended written order in the transcript excerpt provided; the transcript does not explicitly list whether the one‑foot height variance was included in the motion language.
At the same meeting the board approved the Dec. 10, 2025 minutes (motion carried 4–0), voted to retain Catherine A. Conley, Esq., as the board solicitor, and approved a solicitor bill for $2,731.25. The board reorganized to remain as it had been for 2025. The meeting was adjourned at 7:14 p.m.
The Zoning Hearing Board’s action approves the applicant’s amended request to alter the size limit for an accessory structure at the listed parcel; any formal order with specific permitted dimensions and conditions will appear in the board’s written decision or docket entry.
