Piscataway Zoning Board Approves Variances for Pool, Gazebo, and Fence
- Meeting Overview:
In the latest Piscataway Township Zoning Board meeting, several variance applications were approved, including those for a residential pool and gazebo on Murray Avenue and a fence on Lucille Court. Discussions highlighted the complexities of property line setbacks and the need for compromise between property functionality and regulatory compliance.
The application of Stephen Gonzalez for a variance to install a pool and a gazebo sparked discussions. The proposed structures were initially too close to property lines, with the pool planned to be 6.5 feet from the rear property line, violating the required ten-foot setback. After deliberation, the board proposed a compromise. Gonzalez expressed concerns about losing usable yard space but ultimately agreed to the amended placement. Additionally, the board stipulated that the gazebo must remain open and not be enclosed with solid materials, though netting or drapery would be permissible. The board approved the application with these amendments.
In another case, Stacy Lombardi sought a variance for an existing fence encroaching on an easement at her Lucille Court residence. Lombardi confirmed understanding the memorandum of restrictions, agreeing to remove and replace the fence at her expense if necessary. The board approved her application without public opposition.
