Neighbors press supervisors to enforce setback at 116 Bougainou Lane after proposed deck would encroach creek setback
Summary
Board reiterated opposition to a homeowner's deck application at 116 Bougainou Lane that township staff say would encroach 6–15 feet into a creek setback; applicant requested a continuance before the zoning hearing board.
Township solicitor David updated supervisors that an application to construct a deck at 116 Bougainou Lane would encroach on the property's creek setback by at least six feet — and possibly up to 15 feet based on measurement discrepancies. The board had previously voted to oppose the application and authorized the solicitor's office to appear in opposition before the zoning hearing board.
David said the applicant requested a continuance of the hearing under the Municipalities Planning Code and a new hearing will be scheduled by the zoning hearing board; the township will advertise the new hearing date and coordinate with the board's solicitor. Neighbors and the HOA have pushed for enforcement; one resident said the issue has affected the neighborhood for years.
