- Meeting Overview:
The Ocean Zoning Board meeting focused on a significant residential property variance, approving a homeowner’s request for an addition to a two-story dwelling on Oakwood Avenue. The homeowner, identified as Mr. Kenneth Toell, received approval to add a second level to his ranch-style home, which will involve improving the driveway and relocating an air conditioner to the roof. The board agreed to the variance despite the property not meeting the required 10-foot side yard and 30-foot rear yard setbacks, due to the existing structure’s constraints and the proposed improvements maintaining the current setback dimensions.
The removal of a non-conforming garage, which stood only two feet from the property line, was noted as a positive change. The board’s experts quickly reviewed the application and expressed no concerns regarding the proposed construction. With no questions from board members or comments from the public, the variance was granted unanimously.
Other items discussed at the meeting included the rescheduling of several applications, such as two billboard applications and the case of a community synagogue, which were carried to future dates. Attendees were informed that these cases would not be heard that evening and were provided with the new hearing dates and notice requirements.
A member of the public inquired about a garage sale and parking issues on West Lincoln Avenue, only to be advised that this was a matter for the council meeting, not the zoning board. Board members clarified the misunderstanding, directing the individual to the correct meeting on the following Thursday.
The approval of minutes from previous meetings took place with care to ensure only eligible members voted. The board also memorialized a series of resolutions pertaining to various properties within the township.
