Piscataway Zoning Board Approves Gas Station, Denies Diesel Sales Request

In a recent meeting, the Piscataway Township Zoning Board approved a proposal to build a gas station with a small convenience store on West 7th Street. However, the board denied the request to sell diesel at the location, citing safety and community concerns. The meeting also saw approval for a variance allowing a six-foot fence at Kevin Toal Reyes’s residence for enhanced privacy and security.

06:24The gas station proposal was represented by attorney Tim Arch, who outlined the plan, including compliance with staff reports, minus the request to sell low-flow diesel. The board had previously requested additional time for site visits, and upon review, they decided against allowing diesel sales. The applicant agreed to maintain mature trees on the property, install electric vehicle stations by the time of the certificate of occupancy, and ensure minimal signage on the canopy.

01:25In another significant agenda item, Kevin Toal Reyes sought approval for a six-foot fence at his home on Plainfield Avenue. As a police officer, Reyes highlighted the need for enhanced security due to a recent suspicious incident captured on his security camera. The board approved the variance, conditioned on moving the fence 15 feet from the property line on the corner lot to ensure visibility and safety at the intersection.
