- Meeting Overview:
The Sayreville Borough Zoning Board approved two residential expansion applications during their recent meeting, allowing homeowners to enhance their properties with new structures and extended living spaces. Both applications encountered questions regarding variances and construction details but were ultimately passed with unanimous consent from the board.
The first application approved involved a homeowner’s plan to replace a two-door garage with a larger, single-door structure. The new garage, designed to accommodate a boat and a classic car—a 1969 Chevrolet convertible—will also feature a side man door for additional access. Concerns regarding drainage and runoff were addressed, with the homeowner assuring that water would be directed to the backyard, mitigating any potential issues. After a brief discussion on the garage’s construction timeline, which is expected to be completed within 30 days, and the submission of necessary documents to the board for the record, the application received a unanimous vote for approval.
In another application, homeowners on Williams Street sought approval to add an 18 by 20-foot family room to their property. This project required two variances due to lot and impervious coverage exceeding ordinance allowances. The proposed addition, which will be enclosed within an existing fence and feature a small porch with steps leading to the backyard, aims to provide increased living space for the family’s growing needs. After the applicants’ clarification on the project’s scope, including no plans for additional plumbing and a commitment to matching the existing house’s aesthetic, the board moved to approve the application. The board also agreed to allow the applicants to proceed with obtaining construction permits prior to the formal memorialization of the resolution, expediting the commencement of the project.
