BOROUGH OF KEYPORT
Notice of Public Hearing Borough of Keyport County of Monmouth, State of New Jersey Please take notice that the Unified Planning Board (the “Board”) of the Borough of Keyport (the “Borough”) will, on November 21, 2013, at 7:00 p.m., at the Council Meeting Chambers, Borough Municipal Building, 70 West Front Street, Keyport, NJ 07735, or at such other time and place as the Board may adjourn thereafter, hold a public hearing to consider an application for “use” and other variance relief and preliminary major site plan approval (the “Application”) submitted to the Board by Mr. Charles Puth (the “Applicant”). The Application pertains to property within the Borough commonly known as 333 First Street and more formally identified as Block 138, Lot 11 on the Borough’s tax map (the “Property”). The Property consists of approximately 25,027 sq. ft. and is located in Borough’s Residential District (RA). The Property presently contains two single-story apartment buildings. These buildings were severely damaged by Hurricane Sandy and are dilapidated and unlivable. If the buildings were to be rehabilitated to permit residential occupancy, they would each have to be raised several feet to comply with new flood elevation requirements adopted by FEMA. Instead, the Applicant seeks approval to replace these buildings with up to fourteen (14) single-family townhome units. The Applicant believes this to be an aesthetically pleasing alternative to elevating the existing apartment buildings. To permit the proposed improvements, the Applicant requests that the Board grant the following variance relief in accordance with the New Jersey Municipal Land Use Law, N.J.S.A. 40:55D-1, et. seq. (the “MLUL”): (1) “d(1)” or “use” variance relief in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70d(1) to permit the proposed townhome use as townhomes are not a permitted use in the RA District; (2) to the extent necessary, “d(5)” or “density” variance relief in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70d(5) to permit up to fourteen (14) townhomes at the Property as the RA District generally contemplates, for residential use, one single-family home per lot; (3) “d(6)” or “height” variance relief in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70d(6) to permit a maximum building height of 35 ft., which is greater than 10% of the 30 ft. maximum height permitted in the RA District; and (4) “c(1)” or “hardship” or “c(2)” or “flexible” variance relief, as necessary, in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70c to permit the following deviations from the bulk standards applicable in the RA District: (a) building coverage of 31.5% whereas 30% is permitted; (b) front yard setback of 10 ft. whereas 20 ft. is permitted; and (c) a maximum building height of 3 stories, where 2.5 stories are permitted. The Applicant will also seek such further variances, waivers, exceptions, or other relief as the Board may deem necessary without additional public notice. A copy of the Application (and supporting documentation) is on file with the Borough. These documents are available for public inspection, during regular business days and hours, at the Borough Municipal Building (address listed above) in the office of the Board Secretary. This Notice is given pursuant to the MLUL. Any interested person may appear in person, through his attorney, or through his designated agent at the Public Hearing at the time and place herein stated and be heard on this Application. By: Steven P. Gouin, Esq. Giordano, Halleran & Ciesla, P.C. 125 Half Mile Road, Suite 300 Red Bank, NJ 07701 Attorney for Mr. Charles Puth Dated: November 8, 2013 ($96.00) 900197
