Beach Haven Land Use Board Approves Variance for Cory Avenue Despite Some Opposition

In a recent meeting, the Beach Haven Land Use Board approved a variance for a side yard setback on Cory Avenue. The decision faced some opposition from board members, but the approval was ultimately secured. Other resolutions and procedural matters were also addressed, including discussions about the handling of memorializing resolutions and the approval of meeting minutes and bills.

The approval of the variance for Cory Avenue was a key focus of the meeting, with the board granting relief for a proposed side yard setback of 11.2 feet combined, compared to the existing 16 feet. The decision was not unanimous, as some members voted against it. The variance was described as providing hardship relief and substantial benefit, a point that was debated before the final vote took place. This variance approval highlights ongoing discussions in Beach Haven about property regulations and the balance between development and community standards.

Another discussion involved the process of memorializing resolutions. One board member expressed confusion over the current method, as it differed from past practices. The board’s solicitor clarified that the current method, which includes preparing a resolution for memorialization the same night as the meeting, is proper procedure. This clarification aimed to address any misunderstandings and ensure that the board’s actions align with legal requirements.

Additionally, the board reviewed and approved the minutes from a previous meeting, with a minor amendment to correct an error regarding who performed certain repairs. The board also approved the payment of routine bills. These procedural actions, while standard, are essential for maintaining transparency and accountability within the board’s activities.
