The primary focus of the meeting was the application by the Koviellos, who sought a variance for their proposed single-family home. The property, which requires 150 feet of frontage, only has 145 feet available, necessitating the variance. The board discussed the history of the property, noting that a previous variance had expired. The discussion clarified that variances often come with time limits to prevent future conflicts with potential changes in neighborhood characteristics or zoning ordinances.

A notable aspect of the Koviellos’ project is the “barndominium” design, which consists of constructing a barn-like exterior with a condominium-style interior. This design choice piqued the interest of the board, as it represents a modern trend in residential architecture. The board approved the variance with a stipulation to include specific height measurements as per the submitted plans.

In another significant resolution, the board handled the approval of an application involving signage discrepancies. Concerns were raised regarding the presence of a large sign on a vehicle, which was not part of the original signage agreement. The board emphasized that while they can approve applications, enforcement of compliance falls under the jurisdiction of other municipal bodies.

The meeting concluded with various resolutions being passed. These included approvals of prior applications and confirmations of resolutions.
