Overview: In a recent meeting of the Millburn Town Zoning Board, one of the key matters discussed involved a variance application for a residential property on Mill Street. The property owners were seeking approval to square off the corner of their house and add more living space, which included a primary bedroom suite, an additional bathroom, and a loft area on the second floor. The main issue that required a variance was related to the new setback requirements, as the property’s location on a corner lot meant that it was further from the street than the ordinance allowed.
