Barardi presented his case before the board, outlining the issues he faced with the property, including a failing septic system and significant erosion. He detailed his renovation plans, focusing on the necessity of constructing a smaller deck and additional walls. The challenges posed by the property’s topography were highlighted, emphasizing the need for stabilization in the rear yard. The board engaged with Barardi’s presentation, seeking further information and clarifying doubts, particularly regarding the dimensions of the deck both existing and proposed.

In addition to Barardi’s presentation, the board engineer, identified only as David in the transcript, submitted a report on the proposed changes. The report included the need for variances related to impervious coverage and outlined the property’s existing non-conforming conditions. The discussion opened up to various aspects of the renovation, from the placement of HVAC systems to potential enclosures of the deck in the future.

During the meeting, the board also addressed procedural aspects of the renovation, such as obtaining necessary approvals from the county health department, the township construction department, and the water department. Questions arose about the existing electrical service and the possibility of an easement for a utility pole on the property.

The board demonstrated a careful approach in their review of the application. The application was eventually approved, subject to certain conditions that were not specified in the summary. The board’s decision was followed by a motion to adjourn the meeting.
