Board approves large detached garage and second accessory building at 122 Buddtown Road over neighbor objections
Summary
The Southampton Township Land Development Board approved variances allowing a second detached garage and expanded accessory building area at 122 Buddtown Road despite opposition from two nearby residents who submitted documentary exhibits; the vote was unanimous among members present.
The Southampton Township Land Development Board on May 7 approved variances that allow construction of a 30-by-40-foot detached garage at 122 Buddtown Road and permit a second detached garage on the lot.
Attorney Michael DiCroce presented the application on behalf of property owner Kenneth Alexander and business owner John Moran, who was accepted as an expert witness. The applicants submitted a topographic survey to address drainage and grading concerns raised at an earlier meeting and discussed ERI’s May 3, 2026 memorandum with board planner Mr. VanBernum and board engineer Ms. Long.
Neighbors David Iacono and Sophie Bordynowski of 118 Buddtown Road spoke in opposition and offered Exhibits O1–O17 documenting their concerns. The minutes record the neighbors’ testimony and submitted exhibits but do not quote wording verbatim.
The board voted to: increase total lot clearing to 19.1%; allow the accessory structure to be located outside the footprint of the existing dwelling; raise the maximum garage area for detached garages to 1,680 square feet; and increase the total number of detached garages to two. The motion to approve was moved by Mr. Keebler and seconded by Mr. Kavanagh; all members present voted aye.
The approval memorializes the variances requested in Application 25-1502-13 and directs that the usual conditions and plan-certification steps be completed before construction permits are issued.
