The Bloomfield Township Zoning Board of Appeals meeting on November 10, 2026, considered residential and commercial zoning appeals; the October 13 meeting minutes were approved. The board approved several requests involving retaining walls and piers, a porch overhang, a seawall replacement, sheds, a home addition, a fence, an AC unit, and updated commercial signage. The 4780 Pickering shed request passed 5–1 with required double-row evergreen screening at least 11 feet high. At 2886 Colonial Trail, the board denied the requested setback variance but approved a shed subject to standard setbacks and screening. A proposed large greenhouse/shed at 1641 Fairfield Drive prompted questions about wetland delineation; no decision on that request is clear in the transcript. Another gate request was denied, while a separate gate request was approved as amended.

Approvals generally required permit applications within one year and permits before construction or installation, with screening conditions on several projects. The seawall applicant said an EGLE permit was still in process. Board members also discussed the need for clearer guidance on gate requests. No contracts, purchases, bids, vendor selections, or budget allocations were identified.
