The most discussed item was the announcement that the application by Av Partners LLC, involving a preliminary and final site plan with a use variance for Block 2901, Lots 7, 9, and 10, would be carried to the board’s meeting on September 18, 2024. This decision was influenced by the absence of a full seven-member voting panel, which is required for use variance applications. The applicant chose to wait for a fully constituted board to ensure a fair hearing.

Another announcement involved the application by Anthony and Patricia Travisano for a variance concerning Block 2801, Lot 81, which was carried to the September 4, 2024, meeting. Unlike other applications, this one will not require additional public notice.

Similarly, Jacqueline Kari’s application for a variance for Block 392, Lot 95, was also carried to the September 4 meeting. However, this application will require new legal notice as it appears the initial notice may not have been properly issued.

In a notable withdrawal, the application by Carol Noonan for a use variance concerning Block 17302, Lot 19, was officially withdrawn. This means there will be no further hearings on the matter, as the applicant decided not to pursue it. A resolution to mark the application withdrawn will be drafted and reviewed before adoption.

The board then proceeded to approve several resolutions, including multiple instances of granting variance relief for single-family dwellings, lot width adjustments, and fence installations. For example, a resolution was passed granting amended site plan approval for a new single-family dwelling with variance relief for lot width on Gomberg Avenue, Block 1401, Lot 11. Similar approvals were granted for another single-family dwelling on G Avenue, Block 1401, Lot 12, and for various improvements including an in-ground pool and kitchen extension on Cedar Swamp Road, Block 4402, Lot 82.
