Maple Shade Planning Board Approves New Toy Store in Downtown Business Zone

In a recent meeting, the Maple Shade Planning Board approved a change of use and site plan waiver for a new toy store, Crypted Toys and Games LLC, to occupy a previously vacant retail space in the downtown business zone. Other agenda items included the swearing-in of board officers and the appointment of key roles such as board attorney and engineer.

The resolution for Crypted Toys and Games LLC allows the transformation of a vacant store into a toy and game shop. This decision was based on a change of use application, moving the premises from its previous unoccupied status to a functional retail space. During the meeting, it was noted that the application had been discussed in December, and due to a notable change in board membership, only two members who were present at that earlier meeting voted on the resolution. The board attorney clarified the necessity of having these members vote based on their prior involvement and familiarity with the application details.

The meeting also featured the swearing-in of new board officers. The board elected a new chairman and a vice-chairman, with members voting on these leadership roles. Additionally, appointments were made for essential positions such as the board attorney and engineer, securing the expertise needed for future planning initiatives.

The session continued with the approval of routine matters, including the consent approval of meeting dates and official newspapers for the year, which were voice voted with no opposition. The absence of new business on the agenda was noted.
