The Zoning Board of Appeals approved two variances for Dr. David Bainbridge of the Morris Veterinary Hospital to add onto his business.

There were two public hearings held at the ZBA meeting Wednesday regarding a variance in the rear yard setback and for the materials Bainbridge would like to use on the addition. No one from the public spoke at the hearings, said Bill Cheshareck, building and zoning officer on Thursday.

Bainbridge is requesting a 30-by-50 foot addition to the back of his building at 608 Bedford Road. The building has been there for many years and, therefore, the lot is smaller than what is required now for commercial businesses, said Cheshareck. The request is for a 20-foot setback rather than the now-required 40 foot.
