The Zoning Board of Adjustment heard seven applications at meetings on January 19 and 26.
25 Lytle Street, Grace Asagra Stanley, owner and Applicant. A C1 variance was requested to permit a one story addition in exception to the required smaller side yard setback and height to setback ratio. An additional bulk variance is required to construct a deck in exception to the required 35-foot rear yard setback.
The application was approved. It also had the unanimous approval of the Historic Preservation Commission, required due to its location in the Witherspoon-Jackson Historic District.
103 Cuyler Road, Michael Bell and Jane McCarty, owners and applicants. A C1 and C2 variance is requested to permit the construction of an attached garage in exception to the required front yard setback.
The application was approved.
140 Quaker Road, Nishi Gupta and Nora Dillon, owners and applicants. A C1 variance is requested to raise the existing house above the base flood elevation as a result of repeated recent flooding of the structure. The subject dwelling unit is located within the required front yard setback and the raising of the house is considered an increase in the existing degree of non-compliance.

The application was approved.
