Planning Board approves Graeff and Scull lot split despite existing structure setbacks
Summary
The board approved Application #2025-04 to split a middle lot and distribute it between adjoining properties owned by Raymond Graeff and William Scull III; variances were noted for existing garages and a shed dating to 1959, and approval is conditioned on outside agency signoffs and escrow.
Chairperson Larry Winkels introduced Application #2025-04 (Graeff/Scull). Attorney Ken Miller asked that applicants Raymond Graeff and William Scull III be sworn in; both were sworn. Graeff said a middle lot was sold to both neighbors, and the applicants seek to divide that lot and allocate the halves to adjacent properties. The application requires variances because two garages and a shed—present since 1959—are closer to property lines than current setback standards allow.
Board professionals reviewed new lot dimensions and reported no issues with the application. The public portion was opened and closed with no comments. Conflict Solicitor Richard Coe outlined conditions for approval, including obtaining all required outside agency approvals and satisfying escrow obligations. Board member William Remster moved to approve; Todd Boker seconded. A roll‑call vote was held and the application was approved.
The minutes record the applicants’ intent, the existing structures that trigger variances, the professionals’ review and the approval conditioned on outside approvals and escrow; the minutes do not list the individual roll‑call tally.
