Owners file to regularize after‑the‑fact accessory apartment at 87 West Morris Road
Summary
Owners Y. F. Yiu and L. Kilburn applied April 6 to bring a previously constructed three‑car garage with a second‑floor apartment into zoning compliance. The commission set a public hearing for April 20 and noted the department’s prior 2021 TAHD approval on file.
Owners Y. F. Yiu and L. Kilburn appeared April 6 to apply for a special exception and zoning permits to regularize a detached three‑car garage with a second‑floor accessory apartment at 87 West Morris Road that was constructed in 2022 after earlier permits lapsed.
Minutes state that 2019 permits were issued to construct a house and detached two‑car garage but both permits expired. A 2021 building permit was subsequently issued in error for a detached three‑car garage with a studio on the second floor; the garage and apartment were completed in 2022. The applicants said they did not cause the department oversight and have applied to bring the property into compliance. The minutes note TAHD approval from 2021 is on file and that the applicants will submit the approval prior to the hearing.
The commission voted unanimously to set a public hearing for April 20, 2026, to review the special exception for the accessory apartment.
