Zoning board approves rear addition at 135 Delaware Ave with reduced rear setback
Summary
The Township of Aberdeen Zoning Board approved Lisa Brown's 12.5-by-17.78-foot rear addition at 135 Delaware Ave, reducing the rear-yard setback to 9.52 feet where 20 feet is required; applicant agreed to comply with professional reviews and remove the existing deck.
Lisa Brown received approval May 27 from the Township of Aberdeen Zoning Board to construct a 12.5-by-17.78-foot rear addition at 135 Delaware Ave on an irregular lot in an R-60 zone.
Brown's proposal would leave a 9.52-foot rear-yard setback where the ordinance requires 20 feet. During the hearing board members asked for clarifications about the distance from the proposed addition to the property line, runoff and compliance with professional reviews. The board planner confirmed the distance as approximately 9.5 feet. Brown agreed to comply with all professional reviews and said the existing deck would be removed and replaced with a regular foundation; she also confirmed an exit from the addition to the backyard and that siding and trim would match the remainder of the house.
On a motion by David Phillips, seconded by Michael Byock, the board approved the addition; the transcript records the vote as "all in favor." The transcript does not record individual vote tallies or additional permit conditions beyond compliance with board professionals' reviews.
