Edison Zoning Board Discusses Sunroom and Detached Garage Variances

The Edison Zoning Board of Adjustment’s recent meeting primarily addressed requests for variances for residential property improvements. Notably, two applications involving construction of a sunroom addition and a detached garage were discussed, with the latter proceeding to a board decision. The meeting also included the postponement of several cases and a closed session regarding ongoing litigation.

The application by Steven Weimer (case Z15 2024) to construct a second-story addition to an existing single-family dwelling was approved unanimously. Weimer’s proposal sought bulk variances for building and impervious coverage in the RB Zone, which exceeded the maximum permitted percentages. The board considered the variances’ impact on the neighborhood’s aesthetics and compliance with the township’s master plan and ordinances, concluding that they met both positive and negative criteria.

Another resident, Orlando Santos (case Z10 2024), sought bulk variances to construct a detached garage with impervious coverage exceeding the permitted limit. Like Weimer’s application, the board approved Santos’s variance request, recognizing the minimal nature of the requirements and the benefit to the neighborhood.

During the meeting, several cases were carried to future dates, including applications by Old Post Realty LLC, Kashik Kaadi, and Millbrook Village LLC. The board also entered a closed session to discuss litigation related to the Quick Check application (case Z28 2022), though details of the discussion were not disclosed in the open meeting.
