N O T I C E File No. ZB-5/26 NOTICE is hereby given that on the 15th day of July, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. in the Lower Level Conference Room of the Municipal Building, 2207 Lawrenceville Road, Lawrence Township New Jersey 08648, the Lawrence Township Zoning Board of Adjustment will hold a hearing on the appeal or application of the undersigned, at which time and place all interested parties will be given an opportunity to be heard: LOCATION OF PREMISES – STREET ADDRESS AND BLOCK(s) / LOT(s): 79 Fackler Road, Tax Map Page 58.12, Block 5801, Lot 20 NAME OF APPLICANT AND NATURE OF APPEAL OR APPLICATION: Michael T. Hollister, Owner/Applicant Request is hereby made to convert an existing paved parking area by erecting a covered carport contrary to the requirements of Sec. 402.6 of the Lawrence Township Land Use Ordinance. The property’s exceptional conditions stem from its corner-lot configuration, which requires compliance with frontage requirements on two sides, as well as the existing placement and limited size of the home and attached carport, which makes modern vehicle maneuvering difficult. These constraints create practical challenges in providing a functional covered parking area while fully complying with zoning requirements. Strict application of the ordinance would create a hardship due to these site-specific conditions, and would significantly limit reasonable options without substantial reconstruction of the existing home and relocation of the existing driveway. The requested variance is limited in scope and utilizes an existing parking area, thereby minimizing site disturbance and maintaining current impervious coverage without increasing stormwater runoff. It also avoids relocating the structure to a more conforming area that would likely require removal of a significant, approximately 80-year-old tulip tree, which the owners are committed to preserving. Applicant reserves the right to supplement this application and/or seek at the time of the hearing such other approvals, interpretations, and any other variances and/or waivers that are found to be required. Copies of the application and plan are available for inspection at the office of the Lawrence Township Planning and Redevelopment, Municipal Building, weekdays (except holidays), between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. By: ______________ Appellant or Applicant Prt fee:$ June 18 -1a
