APPLICATION REVIEW
Application #ZBA-26-7 - Appeal of Jeanne L Mitchell Trustee, owners and applicants at 43
Myrock Avenue, R-20 zone. Variances are requested from zoning regulations: Section 4.4.1
Front Setback and Section 4.4.2, Side Yard Setback, as shown on plans titled “Architectural Site
Plan” dated 21 September 2025 last revised 11/15/2025.
Jason Pitts, Straight Line Design, and Jeanne Mitchell, owner, were present for the application.
J. Pitts explained to the Commission that homeowner is looking to add a sunroom to the west of
the existing house and add a first floor master bedroom to the north of the existing house.
Laundry would be relocated from the basement of the home to a first floor location. He noted
that the existing house is currently located in the front yard setback. The house currently is 11
feet from the side yard and the proposed sunroom addition would not encroach closer to the side
yard.
Terry Touw, 37 Myrock Avenue, spoke in support of the variance request.
C. Gonyo asked why the proposed addition could not be moved back. J. Pitts replied that the
change to roof line design would be an additional cost for the contractor.
W. Scott asked the applicant if they had elevations of the house that they wanted to add to the
application. J. Pitts responded they had submitted the elevations with the building permit
application but did not have the elevations to add to the Zoning Board of Appeals application.
C. Gonyo asked three times if anyone would like to speak in support or against the application.
No one made comment.
The public hearing closed at 5:41 pm.
