The board revisited a previous decision concerning a requirement for an applicant to pay fees for tree planting as part of their project approval. After a discussion, the board agreed to waive the fees, aligning with the applicant’s earlier offer to pay and considering that the property already had two trees and additional planting was impractical due to overhead wires. The decision to grant the waiver without imposing financial penalties was confirmed through a motion and approved by the board members present.

Additionally, the board addressed the postponement of a major application from Princeton Canal LLC, which involves requests for D relief—a category that necessitates a minimum of five affirmative votes. Due to the absence of several board members, the board recommended that the applicant defer their hearing to a later date. The hearing was rescheduled for September 3rd, allowing both the applicant and the board to proceed with a review.

In another matter, the board addressed an application concerning a two-family dwelling on a small lot on Veterans Moral Drive. The applicant expressed a desire to withdraw the application, leading the board to dismiss it without prejudice. This decision ensures that the application can be reintroduced in the future without impacting the board’s docket.
