- Meeting Overview:
During the recent West Windsor Zoning Board meeting, members discussed and approved the year-end report, with a focus on zoning regulations and the potential impact of accessory structures on property footprints. Additionally, the Board conducted routine annual reorganization tasks, including the swearing-in of returning members, election of officers, and appointment of administrative positions.
The meeting’s discussion centered around the year-end report, which highlighted issues related to the town’s zoning regulations. Board members debated the implications of defining accessory buildings and their impact on property square footage calculations. The conversation pointed to the need for clear guidelines to help homeowners understand the zoning requirements, especially when selling their homes and ensuring compliance with permits. This topic was seen as significant due to its broad implications for property development and land use within the township.
Another key focus was the appointment of Zoning Board members to the Site Inspection Review Committee. John Church, Henry Jacobsohn, and Daniel Marks agreed to serve, with the intention of overseeing site inspections, an essential part of maintaining compliance with zoning regulations.
Administrative positions were also filled, with Patricia Thompson appointed as Administrative Secretary and Cindy Dziura as Recording Secretary. These roles are critical for the ongoing operation and record-keeping of the Zoning Board.
The reorganization meeting proceeded with the election of Susan Abbey as the Chair of the Zoning Board. The Board also resolved to retain Mason Griffin & Pierson as the board’s attorneys, acknowledging the firm’s consistent service and the salary range adjustment for its employees.
Additionally, the Board discussed the retirement of a valued employee, landscape architect Dan Dobromilsky, and considered interim measures to manage his responsibilities. The members underscored Dobromilsky’s contributions and the importance of his role in the township’s planning and development processes.
Lastly, the meeting addressed administrative matters such as spelling corrections for documents and the resolution of the newspapers for official notices.
