MEMORIALIZATIONS:

Mr. Raymond, the Joint Land Use Board Solicitor makes a brief statement before the board memorializes the resolution. Mr. Raymond had discussed with the applicant’s attorney Mr. McAndrews and states he is okay with the verbiage of the resolution except for condition number 7 “erection of any new building or structure on either of the proposed parcels would require a planning variance from N.J.S.A 40:55D-35.” Which Mr. Raymond pulled directly from ERI’s review letter regarding planning variances. Mr. McAndrews concern is that they would become required to come before the board for example a shed & any other structures. Mr. Raymond confirms that is technical the language of the statue and since they do not have frontage on these properties they require planning variances with any permit that is issued. Mr. McAndrews thought it was a ridiculous stipulation since homes are already back there but accepts the terms and confirms do not plan to build more but if so they will come before the board.
